New Email Scam
This one is just so precious I had to share :)
So to prove that I'm not dead I have to give this joker with a GMAIL address all my private identifying information. I DON'T THINK SO!
Have you received anything as precious as this?

Have not seen one like this. Pretty funny. Sure glad you are alive and well. Thanks for the smile. :)
Yes there are plenty that fall for the scam. Greed takes hold and disaster strikes. It is the best one I have read for a while in relation to the content creativity, but thanks, Marion, for reminding us that these scams are out there.

P.S. Like the new profile sketch. Looks cool. Do it your self?
An Android app did it for me from a photo. You can download the app for Android, iPad or smart phone. It does it in seconds.
Hi, unfortunately someone may fall for the scam - hopefully they will have seen enough alerts, but probably not. The latest I have been getting is - "if you have been sent this email in error, please click here to unsubscribe" - in the first couple of lines. Would love to have a 3 junk clicks and you're out button! Glad you're very much alive! Cheers for now Jill
Stevie Wonder could see this one is a scam indeed! I mean you would think that if you have the nerve to try to scam someone you would at least try make it appear legitimate! The grammar is atrocious, and you know its bad when he writes that he needs "a cope" of your passport! Lord have mercy!
I get these all the time Marion, if at least one of these emails was half truth, I would be filthy rich by now.
Man this one is the funniest one I have seen! If they thought you were dead why bother trying to find you to give you all that money?
You should respond and tell them that you are contacting them from the grave and that you will be in shortly to claim! LOL
Hahaha...they think they can fool you, heh. But mind you, there are still innocent people who fall for it. I'm glad that we're on guard and we can send a warning to some whenever there is something like this going around.
Hi Marion . Yes , I do get them from time to time ... all the information they need to apply for a loan or mortgage that you would be responsible for ... last offer I had was for $ 14 ,000 , 000. 00 - just had to turn it down - hell , what would I do that money - just complicate my already hectic day ... lol ...
Wow! That's amazing. So, are you dead or alive? I assume you have to be alive or you wouldn't be able to post something on WA, would you?
And to think that there may actually be someone naive or stupid enough out there to respond to something like that!
Thanks for sharing. It gave me a good laugh.
Laughing is the best response Allyn. Unfortunately there are some people who are naive and greedy enough to respond. If they only get 0.001% who do give out the information requested they stand to make a fortune with identity theft.
