Report Scams, Frauds, Email Scams, and Internet Con Artists

I'm sick and tired of receiving emails from people overseas promising money or even posting ads on Craigslist and receiving scams of fraud from con artists and scammers.



Stop these dishonest people that are trying to take advantage of true people like us!



If you are fed up with these Internet Con Artists, expose them by giving out their information on who they are, so that we can see who to watch out for!



Show their email addresses, give us an example or story of what happened, and provide any details that might be helpful.



Things to look out for when receiving emails from people offering to help:



- Check the sender's country or location through their email address or where they say they are from. Most SCAMS come from Nigeria, Benin, United Kingdom (UK), Japan, Liberia and other African countries. Also, if they type their email in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS....it most likely is a SCAM!



- If someone asks you to give them money first..IT IS A SCAM! If they want to send you a check and then ask that you send a portion of the money back...IT IS A SCAM! If you deposit these checks, after 10 business days your bank will return the check back to you with a big red stamp on it that says, COUNTERFEIT.



- If someone emails you and asks for your full contact information...IT IS A SCAM! (i.e. - "YOUR FULL NAME, PHONE AND FAX NUMBER,ADDRESS WERE YOU WANT THEM TO SEND MONEY TO, YOUR AGE AND CURRENT OCCUPATION, A COPY OF YOUR IDENTITY ATTACHED TO E-MAIL")



- If they say they are a Chairman, Deputy, President, Doctor, offers a Business Proposal or say you won a Lottery and ask for your FULL NAME and other contact information it is a SCAM.
