Scam (Internet and Otherwise) Omnibus Thread

The very best thing for Dr john D Clark would be to be placed in contact with Mrs Erelu Angela, as she is the real deal and a wonderful catch for a sincere man.

Note: while in grad school I was acquainted with a real Dr. John (his last name), who I always thought of as the Night Tripper.

Dr. john harry/Dr. John Clark can’t keep his story straight.

Hello Sir Peter,
Please I want you to carefully read the content of this message and get back to me as soon as possible. I want you to consider everything I am going to tell you very seriously

My name is Dr. John Harry, I am from Bangor in UK, but I am on assignment with our emergency medical team here in Syria for the past nine months,

I acquired three million four hundred thousand United state Dollars ( US$ 3.400.000.00 ) from the contract I did with the United Nations medical supply program here in Syria, I was given a contract to supply antibiotics and I invested my life time earnings into this contract. I even had to borrow some money from my bank. to complete the money I had to supply the antibiotics to hospitals in Syria. but I am very worried now because, two months ago, our director was attacked by the rebels, and he had a very serious injury which he was unable to handle his responsibilities here in Syria, so the organisation replaced him with another director, but since the new director came things has changed, the man is very greedy, we were seven doctors that was giving the contract, now the new director has confiscated the money which three of the doctors acquired from the contract, and they are sharing the money to themselves

I am telling you all this because i know only you can help me and I need your help to secure this money I acquired from the contract, because this is my only hope to establish my own hospital. this is my life time savings. and it will be painful to allow other people to take advantage of their superiority to confiscate my hard earn money and to frustrate my life. I want you to know that I have no choice because if I deliver this money into your country throuhg a delivery company i will be happy and relax. that is why i need your help. I have no choice than to trust you to secure this money for me in a safe place. our assignment here in Syria will finish within two or three months time and I will come over to meet you in your country, I will compensate you with 30% of the total money and I will use the balance to open my own hospital.

I deposited the money in a delivery company, I already made all the arrangement with the delivery company for the delivery of the money, all I want you to do is to receive the money and invest it on my behalf, and we must keep this transaction highly confidential until you receive the money, and there is no risk involved in this transaction because the united nation knows about the contract I did to acquire the money, I will be coming back from Syria within two or three months time and I will come over to your country.

Thanks for your understanding, please reply to me very urgently

best regards

Dr. John Harry,

Greetings upon the day, Dr. John Harry
What do you need me to do?

Peter Mosse

This guy is wordy.

Thanks for your reply, my dear i told you about my plan for an investment in your country and that i want the fund to be secured. Presently i am here in the military camp Syria for peace keeping mission due to the crisis in Syria. Secondly i want to relocate to your country to start up a good business venture.

My drear i need more prove and trust, don’t be angry, because i want to handle my future to you. I appreciate your concern and your willingness so far for assisting me, the most important thing i need from you right now is your honesty and trustworthiness, I choose you in this transaction, based on my present status here in Syria as a military Doctor who treat injured people. I want you to understand more about my situation here in the military camp, I can only email you from the office, as we are not allow to use mobile phone here, we make use of radio message and it is only USA soldiers and people from the USA white house, that can communicate with us through radio message.

Now my dear due to my political situation as a military Doctor staying in the war zone for peace keeping mission, i need a foreigner who will stand on my behalf and receive the Trunk Box and also help me invest in his country, that is why i decided to make this contact with you, for you to stand on my behalf and receive the Treasure Box. Everything concerning the delivery of the consignment is clear. Moreover i went into serious discussion with the United Nation Diplomat here who will deliver the consignment fund to you, the legal United Nation Diplomat told me that in a situations like mine, that the best solution is by soliciting for assistance of a reliable foreigner who can help me receive the consignment box in his place and invest it on my behalf as I wish.

I then decided to contact you, hoping that with your advanced knowledge we can be able to work together so that if all things works out for us, we can go into life partnership if you wish because i am not married. Though it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and offered you this proposal of mine. It is due to the trust i have in you that made me to disclose this matter with you, believing that i am save in your hand, no body knows what i have, PLEASE i am asking you for my safety and security KEEP IT VERY PRIVATE OKAY, i know that God will help us

Finally, i am suggesting that if we can go into life partnership as time goes on which means that the proceedings from the investment in your country shall be shared equally between the both of us, because i do not know much about international business and i am putting my entire Fund to your care, because i want you to be in total control of my funds as soon as the fund arrives in your country. Again, do attach as you reply to me your full name and full contact information’s to enable me give it to the United Nation diplomat who will be delivery the consignment to you. Please i will like you to send me your full data such as.

1: Your Full Name

2: Home Address

3:Your Age

4: Direct Phone Number

5: Your Profession

6: Scan copy of your international passport or Identity Card.

On reply of your mail with your above mentioned details, i will contact the diplomat who will bring the consignment to you and give him your details, so that he will start the journey to deliver the fund in your place, hand to hand. (Face to Face) Looking forward to read from you. Take good care of your self and remain bless.

Regards From.

Dr John

Yours Dr John Harry,

Dr. John,
I do not use Whatsapp. Regular texting will suffice.

Peter Mosse

He seems upset.

Hello Sir…

please i’m worried sir what is going on, i have not hear from you not from the delivery company, please if you have received any message from them let me know sir thank you for everything may god bless you for me,

Dr John,

Dr. John,
I got a phone call about an hour and a half ago. The quality was very poor but the person had my address and stated the cost would be 2500 and details would be emailed.

Peter Mosse

(Google voice number)

Got a second phone call (same person) asking if I had gotten the email just before it hit my inbox.
Usual banking details, wants a wire transfer, fake receipt sent.
ETA: add sample of receipt

Ah, the entertainment value is priceless. He knows only you can help him, but he doesn’t know your name, profession, or country of residence. [snort]

Kitboga is working on AI for this. He has a few videos showing his test and the last one I saw was pretty good.

Why these people never contact Interpol or local law enforcement is beyond me. No, they can’t help me at all, but you, some random American somewhere that I contacted on pure whim, oh you are definitely my knight in shining armor!

Coke to bobsmom101.

Many of these scams involve illegal activities. Impersonating a heir to an account belonging to someone who died instate, smuggling a chest/box/cargo container of money out of a war zone, etc.
To be fair, some countries would not be a good place to contact police about a large box of money.

Looks like a setup to claim I sent the money to the wrong person.

Hello sir,

please sir the diplomat is right they waiting for you, what is going on, why are you not picking calls again sir, please call the diplomat back. his worried sir please help me send this 2.500 tot diplomat, his already in Spain please go ahead and send the money to them sir, may god bless you i’m waiting to hear from you with good news that you have sent the money to the delivery company, thank you**

Dr John,

Peter Mosse

Attached.

thank you so much sir, please contact the delivery company let them settle the issues and continue their journey to your place sir, so that the airport authorities will not start asking so many questions sir

What issues? Why would the airport authorities be asking questions?

Second time today I got an email from “Chime” inferring in the subject that my account is vulnerable and I need to improve my security. Went into the bit bucket unopened since I don’t have any dealings with “Chime” (or Chime, for that matter).

Dr John

Since I didn’t pick up the call, I have to wait for a while to answer since I was “out”.

Dr. John,

I had to go to the office this morning so I missed a call from the delivery company. They’re still waiting for the transfer to be credited.

Next time you want to talk to the delivery company, do it yourself. You hired them, you deal with them.

Peter Mosse

ETA

Thank you Sir please forgive me i’m sorry for the inconvenience

Hello Mr. Peter,
How are you doing, i just want to inform you that i have waited for long time, so let’s see if the money reflects before the end of the day, try and check if the transfer went fine or no, and try and get back to me as soon as possible.

Best regards
Mr. Anderson

I’ll check in the morning, the bank is closed now.

Peter Mosse

Where it will be discovered that the transfer is in process at ING Bank in The Netherlands. :black_heart:

What’s the deal with all the reflecting money?
