You have send me a link to that one, pleeeease

Are you asking me to send you the email address of the email I posted above? Or was this addressed at CrazyCouncil? :confused2:


Below is today's latest installment, it was headed URGENT BUSINESS FROM SPAIN.

Dear Friend.,

I am Cristian Balcells an Attorney at Law, working with the above named law firm in Barcelona, Spain.

Initially, I tried to contact you through an email but it returned undelivered probably due to incomplete address; hence I decided using normal letter posting as the only option unexplored.

I am writing to notify you of the INVESTMENT PROPOSITION of Firas Tlass, son of Mustafa Tlass, the former defense minister under Hafez al Assad – who defected on 12 March 2012 to Paris.

My client Firas Mustafa Tlass, is a Syrian business tycoon and a member of a significant Sunni family who had close relations with former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, but defected to the Syrian opposition during the Syrian civil war.

He has surplus funds for investment in the amount of twelve million; five hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$12.5 Million) currently kept under trust with a financial institution in Spain. This institution will be made known to you if you deem my proposal satisfactory.

We are compelled to taking this step as the present regime in Syria is presently hunting the investments of both civilians and military personnel who have lost fate with the BASIR Al ASAD government.

Now that my client is presently on political asylum in France, there is little or nothing he can do to handle huge investment funds as because of corruption probes of associates of the Bashir Al Asad Regime abroad.

It is in this regard that I decided to solicit your assistance, by presenting you with this investment proposal so that you can be appointed as the investment partner of Firas Mustafa Tlass who will take possession of the deposit in Spain for onward investment in any viable business in any part of you world that you deem safe.

NB: This transaction is very confidential and 100% risk free as I prepare the Investment Management Agreement and proper letter of authority backed by affidavit of change of beneficiary to enable you act as the manager of the deposited funds in Spain.

This transaction shall be executed under legitimate and legal procedures that will protect you from any breach of both local and international Laws.

Therefore, do not hesitate to revert back to me, either via fax or email, with the following details if my proposal interests you: A signed copy of this letter, reconfirmation of your address, your telephone and fax numbers.

Best regards,
Cristian Balcells
Abogado(Attorney At Law)

I regularly get emails from overseas addressed to "Professor" and my full name. I would add that I work at Cambridge University so it goes direct to my email addy. Had they bothered to take not of the english word for "Domestic Staff" they might work out that I might be a professor of Flash(not the weirdo type) and I might be able to teach the duster a few things but I am definitely not a "Professor".

I'm currently getting spam telling me about the fact that I am due in court in various states of the US which is SPAM.

I'd post em up but I just delete them without looking.

Re: Post up and share your examples of spam phishing emails messages #scamaware

am getting loads on older email addresses at the moment with very old trojans in them that wont works on most moderns OSs or browsers..

I use a setup of wine on linux with a few tweeks to allow them to think they can attack the systems, and over 50% over the lst few weeks would only have any chance of working on XP totally unpatched... some of them look like win2000 variants... total rubbish..

I recon that one 419er has sold another 419er a bunch of old email addresses with a hacking kit so old , that i have had to look at the waybackwhen internet archives to find the keys ...

Its a shame it would be a criminal offence but that would be one way to get them back, sell them loads of preped email addresses with a high tech but tweaked exploit kit, let chaterbots and autoresponders vailidate the emails, to them, the emails will be valid target with any checks they do, but all the email addresses would be yours, manged by the CBs and ARs KERRCHING.... if only

Miss FM. Be carfull with that link..... Its not just phishing, it seems to be trying to call some java, haven't had time to look at it fully but my system has freaked out at one of the images the page is trying to load..

Think i just confirmed it, the file is jq.js there is coded adding during the call up to a JS lib.... If anyone has clicked on this, just clear the cookies and browser histroy fo rthis site should be safe. Possibly, they are trying to connect up IP addresses, to email/persons...

Linky removed by me, it pointed to : mattfind.com/12345673215-3-2-3_includes/reflex/qy.htm which is very obviously a part of the Halifax. msl: msl: msl:

If they improved their English a little, they would probably be a tad more believable! :tinysmile_hmm_t2: I start getting suspicious when a bank implores me to match my information's correctly! Never mind the fact I've never had an account with the Halifax, I guess the fact I used to work in one of their buildings (not for them though), is enough to establish a relationship between us.
