Scammer lovable meeting lasted hearts
It seemed like a match made in heaven for Angeline, 52year old Filipino working in Hong Kong. Markus, a widowed 55year old doctor living in London, and he said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Angeline. They both met on the social networking site tagged.com. Within days they were messaging each other frequently. He said her how he dreadfully lost his wife in a car accident leaving him to bring up his teenage daughter alone.
He told her, God has brought us together, my angel and my Tiffany needs a mom like you.
Angeline was obsessed. She thought Markus was the real thing. But she learned her lesson the hard way.
He told her, God has brought us together, my angel and my Tiffany needs a mom like you.
Angeline was obsessed. She thought Markus was the real thing. But she learned her lesson the hard way.
Markus was a romance scammer where he was not likely to be British, not a doctor, and not looking for love. He was perhaps Nigerian, and living in Malaysia and his name was one of aliases he used and the photo he posted was of an alien stolen from the internet.Angeline learnt the truth; she was $1,000 poorer. Markus claimed he was on his way to marry her in Hong Kong in September when she received a call from somebody claiming to be a customs officer in Kuala Lumpur. Finally Angeline transferred $1,000 to a Western Union account, never heard from Markus again.
It is a sad but a very common story. The scammer pretends to send an expensive gift to the victim, who is then asked to pay the courier charge. Certainly, the gift never arrives. The Nigerian 419 scam which gets its name from the section of Nigeria law which outlaws it.
In other, dating scam uses dating and social networking sites to pull in its victims, building up a relationship of trust with sweet-talk, declarations of love and promises of marriage. Dating scammers come often from West African countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal and Nigeria.
The site warns there is a huge Nigerian operating out of Malaysia and targeting Asian women. All these white engineers allegedly from the UK, but appearing in Malaysia, are in reality Nigerian scammers. Between January 2009 and June 2010, police received reports of 180 men and women were conned by romance scammers.
Angeline is one among them. She said: I know I'll never see the money again. I m still on dating sites, but I'm much careful these days.

419 trivia
Nigerian criminals are confused by Western names because the Nigerian order of surname and first name is the opposite of English usage.
As a result some of the writers are not aware of what is supposed to be a first name or a surname. Especially confusing to them are Western surnames derived from first names by appending s which they mistake for first names.
Scammers often use titles since they think they will impress people. They assume roles to impress victims abroad by picking titles that astound fellow Nigerians. Nigerian scammers show their weak geography skills when they treat the Irish republic as a part of the UK or Canada as a part of the USA.
Nigerian Scammers also often export domestic institutions to other countries. Neither Benin, nor Togo, nor Senegal nor UK has a Federal High Court. Neither Benin nor Mauritius is "Federal Republics". Nigerian scam websites are predominantly green and white: These happen to be the colours of the Nigerian national flag.

Shortchanging scam
The scam artists are gracefully misleading the cashiers by carrying out several activities. He made a small purchase, asked for change, made an intentional mistake, and while making small talk cheated the store out of ten-dollars.
Beating scammers is very easy. All is to CONDUCT ONE TRANSACTION AT A TIME. Finish making chance, and if the customer asks for more chance, treat it as a separate transaction. Do this and you won’t lose.

Mr. Phillips said Mr. Nolan, had maintained that he still had access to about $450,000 in a Swiss bank account that might be returned to his fatalities after he was dealt with by the court.

Scammers finally will send you the Money Orders and ask you to deposit them into your bank account and then wire the money to them through Western Union. But those Money Orders are no good, and not even worth.

Phishing scam nets drivers licences
The New Zealand Transport Agency is offering to waive the fee for a replacement driver's license for victims of an online phishing scam. An extensive email, claiming to be from the New Zealand Transport Agency services team, was recently sent to customers. Recipients were asked to enter their license details on a scam account of the NZTA website.
Today people who entered their personal details on the fake website must contact it on 0800 822 422 to have their licenses cancelled, an agency reported. The agency is contributing to waive the normal fee of $38.20 for a replacement license for those who caught out.
Phishing scams try to gain personal details from recipients and may result in identity theft. NZTA spokesman Andy Knackstedt said: If you receive one of these messages you must delete it immediately. The agency urged anyone who provided their drivers license on the fake website to have them cancelled.
NZTA had exposed a newer version of the email after warnings were issued to customers about the original frauds yesterday. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs have added it to their public scam warnings.
