Excellent following email was sent to me today. The comments follow.

INFORMATION CONTENT

---------------------- ---------------------


Hello Mr, Mrs


I am Mr. George Bahi, as part of our visit to your country, I would like to book in your office two dishes for 2 people in total.
That is to say 10/04 / 2006 16 / 04 / 2006.

I would like to make a payment in advance (prepayment) via my credit card. Is this possible?
I am waiting for the pro forma invoice to you my card no credit for the prepayment.
I ask you a service : I wish the same time as you adjust the travel agency that deals with our tickets.

ie you draw on my credit card No note of reservation and the sum of 3,000 euros for our tickets and send them via Western Union to the agency Babany - TRAVELCI located in Côte d'Ivoire which I will provide contact information. In fact, we have a discount with this agency and have planned to settle our bills.

In addition, we are currently in Morocco for a seminar a week or more, then we will start directly in your country.

So you made an estimate of the rooms including the 3,000 euros for the agency.
We also ask us to provide this service because the travel agency does have a terminal, but it would have to our credit cards before making physical collection, while we are currently in Morocco.
I remind you that knowing that this is not your business, we offer a commission for this service 500 • .

Pending the total bill (note + 3000 • Booking air tickets + your commission)


Very Sincerely,

Mr George Bahi
Tel International: +225 08 62 26 61

course, this is a gross fraud and fairly common judging communicated to the Embassy of France in Côte d'Ivoire. ( http://www.ambafrance-ci.org/article.php3?id_article=307&var_recherche=arnaque # sommaire_4 )

This fraud acts similarly to the famous Nigerian fraud or Mr. X, son a fallen minister of a previous government, asks you to help free up money in exchange for which he will pay you a generous commission. Obviously, the money never comes, and you often lose your shirt.

But how these scams work?

  • First, it delivers a perfectly legitimate transaction ( here to book ).
  • Then you request a service, favor, do a deal for "help" ( pay the travel agency ).
    • using a credit card or check (here, the "blue card" that is to say, Visa)
  • After a short delay, the money is put into your account.
  • You then transfer to your new "friend" the agreed amount and keep your commission.
  • few days later, the original store (here in Ivory Coast ...) accepts the transaction.
    • Your bank will then request reimbursement full of unauthorized transactions.
  • You must pay your commission and the amount of service you have rendered to your "friend".
  • him, disappeared with her ... with your money!
Yet the clues were there and you should have put a flea in his ear. See the text of the letter if you can identify you as ... (Hint: I put in bold.) If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not good for you either!

Does Anyone Know Kate From Kates Playground ?

It's Christmas! Another %&&$?%$ or cell free.

Viral marketing strikes again. When it is not Nokia, Ericsson or Motorola's. Here is a hoax that is no longer young but returns every 18-24 months.

A manufacturer of cell phone will give you a free (yes, really!) If you fuck all your friends by reloading this email. Here is an example of the message:
======================= ================ TITLE ======

Free Portable

---------------------- --------------- CONTENT ------

Hello,

The company distributes free Ericsson phones, this in order to counter Nokia has done the same. Ericsson hopes to increase its popularity. For this reason, the new Ericsson distributes free mobile Wap. All you need do is send this email to 8 of your knowledge. In about two weeks you will receive Ericsson T18. If the message is sent to 20 people or more, you'll even receive Ericsson R320. Important: You must send a
copy of your mail to:

anna.swelung @ ericsson.com

Good luck!

Important: This is not a hoax, it works. So indulge yourself by offering you one of these phones

PS message sent by another friend

----------------- ------------ END OF MESSAGE --------

I love the quips: " not a hoax, it works. " Of course! Every day companies give me their product for free! The other day I got a Hummer, a Sony TV 47 "and 7kg of Leonidas Belgian chocolates because I received a similar message to the neighbor's cousin's friend's neighbor ... my aunt; -)

Most importantly, ask yourself two questions:

First, how the dear Anna Swelung going to find out who to send the phone?

Deuxio, the R320 that wonderful " you'll even receive Ericsson R320 " is an old model that does not really excites me ... It's so twentieth century! (See photo). Do you really receive?

Ericsson R320


This hoax is usually categorized as viral marketing. That is to say, a business venture, so with some ulterior motive, to know a company or a product (here the models of Ericson R320 and T18).

who says ...

The bank fraud is now spreading through the Internet. Here's a message I received recently:
====================== ======================= TITLE


bank fraud confirmed by the Surete du Quebec

CONTENT ---------------- ---------------------- -----


Please, forward this message to as many people. This is confirmed by the Surete du Quebec.

There is currently a new kind of credit card fraud which great concern to authorities. Fraudsters phone at home and pose as an agent of the company your credit card. They you say now, there are unusual transactions that do on your card and want to check the number of your credit card .

These people turn YOUR REAL CARD NUMBER and they'll tell the phone so you confirm it. Then they ask you the 3 SMALL NUMBERS there on the back of your card. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THESE NUMBERS !

These small numbers are there precisely to avoid fraud. the police do not understand what happens, but please be careful! If you have a display, watch it or ask the phone number to the person saying that you remember. Then call the police and your company credit to warn them that there are fraudsters who possess your card number and give them as much information as possible.

careful and forward this message to warn your friends ...

----------------- -------------------- END OF MESSAGE

This message is not from the Surete Quebec:
http://www.suretequebec.gouv.qc.ca/accueil/communiques.html

This is misinformation.
careful not to disclose the 3 new figures added to the back of your credit cards! Sure, but who will we ask?

Those who have recently ordered on the Internet verified: 3 new figures appear to be well on the back of our credit cards. In French, these figures are called "security code". They

we are now required on most payment sites on the web. It is indeed to strengthen the security of our transactions that have been added.

The main reason seems to be that the crafty have "broken" the algorithm to encrypt the credit card numbers. Therefore, they can automatically generate valid card numbers!
As long as it has no chance and that is our number comes out!

Upon receipt of the mail, it is therefore right to worry, but ... There is no relationship between this credit card number and your name, let alone your phone number. Therefore, it is impossible that someone calls you to ask that!

Moreover, in Quebec, not only the legal liability for fraud MAXIMUM is $ 50, but companies Visa and MasterCard ensures that in case of fraud, you will not be charged. Nothing! Nada! Bugger! Zero! Zip!

More generally, do NOT provide a number, code or cryptogram credit card to anyone (except, of course, if you make a purchase online or by phone and you are absolutely sure of your partner, who will unfortunately be dishonest).

This message is a hoax designed to frighten us, it is based on a fault fraud is real but, in practice, unworkable on a large scale, as tends to make us believe the message. The danger of this type of hoax is precisely to suggest that an extremely marginal and ad hoc practice becomes widespread and frequent.

Delete this email upon receipt in order to prevent its spread.
