    refused to pay me,I had paid over $20,000 while in the US, trying to
    get my payment all to no avail.

    So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation
    documents, And I was directed to meet Barrister Tom Baxter, who is the
    member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he
    explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through
    emails are fake.

    He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation
    payment.Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have
    received my compensation funds of $2.200,000.00 Moreover, Barrister Tom
    Baxter, showed me the full information of those that are yet to
    receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the
    beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email
    you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund,
    they are only making money out of you.I will advise you to contact
    Barrister Tom Baxter. You have to contact him directly on this

    information below.

  • Reporting mail fraud : Corporate Controllers Unit

    Years ago, I started a small business under a corporation for my websites. mail-fraud I received a letter twice from “Corporate Controllers Unit”. They were charging us $225.00 charges for annual corporate fees.  Just a few minutes of research revealed that this is a scam.

    The letter threatens that if you don’t pay “Delinquent” but at the end of the letter they state that do not represent any branches of the government:

    “This product or service has not been approved or endorsed by any Government Agency and this offer is not being made by an agency of the Government. U.S.C.39.6.3001(d). This is a solicitation for the order of services, and not a bill, invoice , or a statement of acocunt due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer.”mail-fraud

  • E-ZPass Phishing Email

    There is a new form of consumer fraud that involves scamming users of highway tolls. It works by telling drivers that they owe money on a toll service.

    My question is how in the world do they know who uses the tolls?  More than likely they just blasted it out to everyone.   It looks like many people all over the US are getting these emails.  It comes with an attachment that might contain malware.

    You can tell that it is a scam because of the origin:  <phillip.reeves@senseit.com.br>

    Dear UserName,

    You have a unpaid bill for using toll road.
    Please, do not forget to service your debt.

    You can find the invoice is in the attachment.

    Yours faithfully,
    Phillip Reeves,
    E-ZPass Manager.

    To report a phishing email, forward it to: phishing-report@us-cert.gov.

  • Visa Recruitment Fraud

    Visa Recruitment fraud happens a lot to people trying to go to other countries to live and work.  One of the biggest targets are people from developing countries like: Indians, Bangladeshi, and overseas filipino workers.  I personally witness one filipina in Kuwait scamming other filipinas promising to get them jobs there.  She was already in with Kuwait Fisheries (Mylene Noval – ladymai2012@yahoo.com) so what she did was promise others she could get them a job.  She took an upfront fee to start their process.  But then she ended up just taking their money and avoiding them.  She did this to MANY people there.

    You need to check the legitimacy of the company behind the work visa recruitment.  If it is just one individual making promises DO NOT do it.  You are risking your hard earned money.

    Filipinos can check with agencies like Philippine Overseas Employment Association, POEA.

  • ***scam Facebook Black SCAM**

    facebook black scam
    image of fb black fake ad

    Facebook Black Tagged ???

    So someone TAGGED me with an “I just got Facebook Black!” message.   I was all excited.  YES, Facebook black.   Then I was like.. WHAT HELL IS FACEBOOK BLACK?  Is it a new smartphone released by Facebook?  Is it a new elite Facebook page?  Or maybe Facebook is getting into HD Content & AirPlay Wireless Streaming like Apple TV, Roku and Google TV?

    Googled it:  SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

    Facebook black is not anything but a scam.  It is an aggressive survey campaign that leads to something malicious… I call it SURVEY RAPE.  Yes, that right folks.. ELAMB.ORG created the phrase “Survey Rape”.  Shakespear created 1700 words including gems like “addiction” and “accused”.  I created “survey rape”.. and also “survey rapage” meaning the representation of “survey rape”.

    Anyway, facebook black is a series of surveys designed to trick and forcibly gather data on victims.  Thus the name, “survey rape” a fate worse than death.

    Facebook black similar to some other facebook scams first tag you to get your attention.  Once you take the bait, the hook is clicking their facebook black ad.  After that, the attackers use a Javascript file to create a new Fb page on your account and you are redirected to a malicious website.
