Donnot Be Fooled by Spammer's Scam Email

Have you ever receive below this kind of scam email as I got? It is very annoying, some of you may familiar or may ever received similar ones as I did. If you do, then don’t be fooled folks. I have no idea about who is Kadiri Isa, Ghana chamber of commerce as well as he mentioned “transfer of (Twenty Million united state dollars)!!” The spammer doesn’t have shame at all.

Just pay attention to the return email and notice the type of information this person requested. This is typical spam email to steal your identity.

My pleasure .. there are also other similar kind of scam email, like only daughter to someone, the deputy minister of national security etc … Those scam email are have some common patterns that these people operating … sometimes even ‘Banks’ are involved in these stories. Naturally those banks are ‘invented ones’ but there are addresses, phone numbers and directors .. like in real ones. All friends, be aware of these!
