19million Euro ROYAL SPANISH SWEEPSTAKE LOTTERY

Latest scam on a Royal Spanish lottery, claiming that you have won 1 million Euro out of 19 million Euros shared between 19 winners.

Another 419 Scam (advanced fee scam) associated with lottery.

Job Scam - Green-Village Orphanage home

A man called Frezier Moore, supposedly the Director of Green-Village Orphanagehome, Africa, is looking for a representative who can help to collect donation money from various parts of the world. According to him, the appointed representative will clear the donation checks, and in return may keep 10% of the donation money for the job done. Frazier will then let the representative know what to do with the donation money later, either sending it to him or purchase items on their behalf.

The email was sent from admin@missionaryworks.net, but anyone interested in the above job is supposed to send their "personal information" to fraziermoore07@yahoo.com.

This is another job scam, similar to the advance fee fraud but with the hottest story line. Please click the link to the site to see the full email details.

Keylogger Scam

This video shows a replay of the keylogger scam. The victim's keyboard were swapped and they were tricked into login into their accounts. By doing so, the login information was sent to scammers who would then gain access to her account. The video also shows the video of other scam victims. Click the Full Story to watch the video and our reviews.

Keylogger

Collect US$20.5million and help to donate to the needy

A 65-year old Grace William from Netherland lost her children, and started feeling pitiful for others in Australia who lost their livelihood in fire. Now she has cancer and Doc says she only has a few months to live. Therefore, she is giving her US$20.5million to any potential scam (oops) victim who may like to help distribute 90% of it, while keeping 10% for themselves. She is so nice...

US$35million dollar from Mr James Richard

Someone filthy rich has died in Victoria, Lagos (where is this?), and he has US$35million left with some citizen bank or something like that.

James is trying to find an idiot who believe his story and send him some real money in return for the fake US$35million. Are you interested in this business?


Identity Theft Issue

This is just a quick note to all regarding some of the lottery or advanced fee fraud (419). Other than trying to earn some advanced fee from a victim, scammers may also use the personal information that you have provided to conduct identity theft and even access your banking account. If you see such emails, including those offering jobs, or anything too good to be true, just delete them. Do not provide any personal information to these scammers. They probably send out thousands of such emails, waiting for a victim to bite their bait. 

About Scam Database and Hotscams.com

Hotscams.com is not a spam database provider. Although we post as much scam reports as we possibly can with the limited time we had, we have not intention of building up a huge database. It is more important for everyone to be aware of such scams, rather than trying to find the exact email or story hoping that your case is different from others.

419Eater Tricks Scammers

Surprise! This video is created by 2 scammers after they were tricked by a scambaiter from 419Eater.com. As usual, the scammer portray that he is a rich man dying of cancer, and he wanted to distribute his "wealth" before he dies. Quite a normal 419 (advanced fee fraud) scam per se, but the problem is that their 'victim' is a scambaiter, who is experienced in such scams and will counter the scammers by wasting their time and resources.

In this case, the scambaiter 'Scam the Scammers' (what a phrase) into believing that he is a CEO of a video production firm. So, our 'CEO' is giving out scholarships to people who can provide a sample footage of themselves acting out scenes of famous TV programs. The scammers were tricked into believing that the offer is real, and went ahead to film themselves in a replay of a scene from the British comedy show, Monty Python (early 70s).

The audio isn't quite clear, but I don't think you need to hear much... lmao. We are very sure that they (scammers) did not qualify for the scholarship.

Stop the MF Job Scammers in their tracks!

Cool video regarding a job scam... and that 'cheque' worth 4,000 GBP...

Watch them talk about their experience of the job scam from scammers in South Africa.

Umph... more than 70% into the talk they started talking about nintendo, movies and holidays??

Quality of Spam Emails Needs Improvement

In reality, spam emails are similar to the good old days when we receive unsolicited sales/marketing faxes and brochures. The only difference is that clearing spam emails incur time, cost (anti-spam software) and resources, while the latter is a waste of paper to print out those sales faxes. And unlike faxing, sending spam emails are free and can be done quickly and efficiently to thousands of recipients with just a few clicks.

We do not recall the pain of receiving sales faxes, but it is truly a pain-in-the-ass to receive poor quality, and similar spam emails over and over again everyday. In most cases, we can barely make out what they are trying to sell, e.g. stocks/shares investment, pharmacy products, casinos, illegal softwares. And most of the time, the links are dead because the sites are illegal. These activities are a waste of time for both the receipient and the seller, while the only person that really benefits from it are the spam service providers. Yes, we are refering to those spammers that offers "to deliver your website" to 28,000,000 email addresses. I know everyone has seen these in their mailbox, but we feel the urge to post here to show how stupid spammers have become... if a nice looking website cannot get me to buy the products, let alone such stupid, repetitive email that is wasting precious bandwidth and time.

btw, this one links to a warez website.
