The Luckiest Man In The World-Winning Twelve Times In One Day

I Won Over Twelve Times In One Day $28,650,000.00

It is crazy, but in one day I won a total of 12 times with my winnings in excess of $28,650,000.00 My wife and I can now retire, plus we know that tomorrow we will win some more…

Just amazing that in this day and age these scams still exist. What is more amazing is the amount of success these somewhat scrupulous winning scams have. Current statistics show that over one billion dollars per year is generated thru these sorts of scams.

There are hundreds if not thousands of scams all with the same goal…to relieve you of your savings or get personal and confidential info about you. Money is always the number one reason for most scams. Identity theft is also a major motivator for these criminals, which also equates to getting your money.

The mother of all scams,Nigerian 419 letter – which basically works like this. Some diplomat will contact you about a huge amount of money that is stuck in a fund. They need your help, pay a small fee to get the ball going. Later you will get another request to start the transfer another fee is required. All scams work pretty much the same way, your check is ready to be processed, plus pay $39 for expedited shipping. It’s a small amount to pay but when you multiply that by the number of people online. That is a huge number.

Criminals are not stupid, they play the numbers game. Sending out millions of emails all over the world. They know most people will not respond, but some do. Criminals prey on your greed, your hopes and dreams, and your fear. I say fear because scammers are so creative.

They create look alike websites, medical websites, and send out official looking emails to the elderly or letters with Official Logos from Medical Data Collection agency, or some hospital in your area. They want you to pay a past due amount, and give official invoice to prove it. Phone numbers and some P.O. box address. The amount is usually pretty small $73.67 for an x-ray or un-covered insurance item. Please pay immediately or threatening collection agency proceedings. People get so shaken that they pay instead of going through the ordeal.

Other scams might involve selling popular drugs such as Viagra, stimulants, smart drugs and prescription-only medicines. Pay for something you will never receive. Or natural disaster relief, please send money to help families of 911 or Katrina. Criminals don’t have very high morals… Some scams might involve a very professional phone call from your cable company. Saying, there is a something wrong with the internet, would you please allow us to access your computer? People actually will follow the instructions and open up the computer. Once inside the criminal can get all your info, documents, taxes, everything. To make it worse they will lock up your computer until you pay for the wonderful service they provided. They found the problem and removed it.

PayPal scams, Craigslist Scams, EBay, and the list does not stop.

What can we do? Just stay diligent but not paranoid. If you get something to good to be true, it usually will be. If you get something with an attachment, don’t open it unless you know who it’s from. Talk to you parents and grandparents about it. Warn them and let them know you are around for any questions or concerns. Especially about letters in the mail that may be suspect.

Other things you should do anyway to protect yourself. Change your important passwords. Make them longer, ad a symbol to it such as $ or & This just makes it really hard to figure out your passwords. You can pay yearly for one of those credit monitoring services. They will contact you ASAP via email or by phone, if your credit has suspicious activity. They can warn you of new credit applications, if your Social Security is being used. Very worth while...

With the amount of information on the internet on this subject. I will keep this hub a bit light. My purpose is only to act as a reminder that this is a major problem that exists. Listed below are some sample letters from scammers.

Thanks

Union Bank of Nigeria

Dear Beneficiary,

My name is DR. JOHN EZE. I am the newly appointed Director Union Bank of Nigeria and the 10th Director of the Union Bank of Nigeria. I assumed duty as Director, Union Bank of Nigeria on June 4, 2010 at the Bank's Corporate Head Office in Abuja following the confirmation of my nomination by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Wednesday, June 3, 2010.

However, acting in my capacity as the newly-appointed Director of the(UBN), I have been by the Senate National Assembly to check through the statutory disk of every payment pending during the last quarter of the year. Hence, your payment file has been forwarded to my desk for final approval.

Therefore, after vetting and verification about the source and origin of your funds, I am convinced 100% that the $5,500,000.00 dollars part payment is a legitimate contract/inheritance claim. Hence, I have granted approval for the release of the $5,500,000.00 dollars in your favor. For this reason, your payment has been rightfully approved and will be paid out directly into your bank account via "automatic swift transfer" from our Electronic transfer unit.

Already, all transfer processing has been concluded in line with the new(UBN) Payment Policy.

Every and all other fees will be deducted at source automatically.

However, on the note of receiving your inheritance funds, you are requested to forward the details of your receiving bank account; as well as make arrangement to secure and send the issuance fee of $350 dollars for the "Payment Release Code"The $350 dollar fee must be sent through Western Union or Money Gram with the name of the Payment officer at the Electronic Transfer Unit (MR.SAMUEL SADOH) as per the below details:
