    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am a Financial and legal consultant based in South Africa. As Financial Consultant my firm has facilitated
    a lot of transactions for very high profile clients at home and abroad.

    From my enquiries, your profile on investments and acquisitions suits an investment opportunity and may
    turn out to be a good foundation on which we can build an effective and functional business relationship
    of particular interest presently, there is a client’s account that I have had to administer for the past six years.
    Although the client is late, there are huge deposits he made with a Finance Firm that we can safely engage
    for investment funding before they are declared Unserviceable or reverted to the government treasury as
    unclaimed funds.

    The client died in very unfortunate circumstances there are no existing beneficiaries. It is my mandate as
    clients’ financial consultant to facilitate the release of this fund to a verified beneficiary. I have decided to
    seek your assistance and have you receive this fund on our behalf. All the legal requirements will be fulfilled
    to have you as a proven beneficiary of the claim. The total value of the claim is Seventeen Million United
    States Dollars (US$17m).

    At your interest please let us discuss this further by e-mail or fax for further directive so that I can avail you
    with more information and the mutual benefits that will accrue. I hope you will understand the nature of this
    transaction, which has made me frugal with sensitive information.

    Best regards
    Mr.Mr.Richard Crosby

  • Poetry Scam

    The dream of every artist from painter or poet is to create something that communicates to others. For a writer, publishing a successful piece is a joyous dream reserved for very few. Poets are perhaps some of the most courageous writers. It takes a lot of guts to put your rawest feelings into words and distribute them for all to see.

    As a writer, I was horrified to find out that there is a HUGE scam that targets us. As a security guy who is always researching scams, I am not surprised that there are scams targeting writers, but I am amazed that there is one that is doing so well.

    There is a poetry scam that legally swindles people out of their money. Its called poetry.com. Poetry . Com is not a URL that you’d associate with “scam”, so it is easy to see why many might be attracted to this wolf in sheep’s clothing. So how does poetry . com scam people “legally”?

    Poetry . com actually misleads aspiring poets into thinking that they have won acceptance into a poetry book. The catch is that you must BUY the book to be put in it. Unfortunately, these poets, hungry for a break go for this. What they need to realize is that poetry . com offers the SAME thing to EVERY one who writes them a poem. That is how they scam you.

    Poetry Scam Steps:

    1) Poetry . com advertises the prize of being published to all the best aspiring poets.

    2) They send ALL who submit the same letter of acceptance:

    a. It is my pleasure to inform you that after reading and discussing your poem, our Selection Committee has certified your poem as a semi-finalist in our Open Poetry Contest.Your poem will automatically be entered into the final competition held in Spring. As a semi-finalist, you have an excellent chance of winning one of 70 cash or gift prizes. You may even win the $1,000,000 Grand Prize.

    3) Poetry .com Offers to publish the poets work if they pay X dollars.

    No matter what you write to them, your reply will be this.

    It is my pleasure to inform you that after reading and discussing your poem, our Selection Committee has certified your poem as a semi-finalist in our Open Poetry Contest.Your poem will automatically be entered into the final competition held in Spring. As a semi-finalist, you have an excellent chance of winning one of 70 cash or gift prizes. You may even win the $1,000,000 Grand Prize.

    i have been victim of an online poetry contest hoax, organized by poetry.com. i entered a very personal poem and did not expect to have any response so far. of course i felt very excited when I received a letter of acceptance full of praise. a french native who writes in english, i felt so proud of my accomplishment. so i accepted to buy two copies of the book my poem was going to be published in, and even payed to have a short bio published.

    My husband was suspicious, but did not want to hurt my feelings, and eventually let me buy the copies of the book, one for his mother, the other one for us. in the short bio, i wrote that the poem was a tribute to my father-in-law who recently passed away. my two bright and creative children were so proud of me. This happened a week ago. i have been calling my credit card company to try to put a stop payment, but the transaction has not been registered yet. it was only yesterday i realized all of this was a scam from clicking on an internet link. I am horrified by the idea that a an intimate, well-crafted poem might appear online, among a lot of trash. I feel violated and humiliated. I want to get the poem they stole and tainted, back, and to be able to submit it to serious and reputable publications.

    Poetry.com poetry scam, I entered a poetry contest online, it was to my own standards and to other poets and writers’ standards a good poem So I did believe them when I received their quite outrageous letter of acceptance, and of course agreed to buy two copy of their book, payed an additional fee to include a short bio. This was a week ago. Owings Mills Maryland
