I received this email from this address yousf@yousfam.com, c.ced to this address katecallikan@hotmail.com on my spam box today and it drives me crazy to think that people like this are around. If I’m in Malaysia, I would have submitted this to the police.

did you check the blog? may have a tracking cookie, such a bunch of rubbish con man out there.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. It looked like a harmless blog featuring autobiographies of famous dead people. Seems to be run by a young Malaysian lady. It would have been easy to track the person down because the blog has a traffic thingy; when you log on, your country and IP address is there.
ReplyDeleteIt really pisses me off but at the same time, you can't believe how many greedy people will fall for it.
Ka Ea,
ReplyDeleteThis sort of scam is very similar to those that originated from Nigeria and the Philippines. You'll be surprised that there are suckers out there who would fall for it, even professionals
I received the same email today, July 2nd, to my home email address in Scotland
