Hot Scam Specifications:
Scam Type: 419 Scam
Fake Names: Uwan Amed, Razak Philips
Offer Type: Money Transfer
Transfer Amount: $15million
Storyline: Claim money from a rich man who died
Scammer Location: Africa
Scammer Email: uwam01ahmed@yahoo.fr, boabfb@africamail.com
If you reply to some of the 419 scam mails, you would probably receive an “Application Form” like this or in a MS Word format. If its the latter, remember to scan any file from the scammers for virus.
Another point to note is the “account number:$286-41732-55”
Notice the “$” sign in the account number. Yeah, this account is fake. But its so fake that the scammer was thinking about ripping you off that he forget and added a DOLLAR sign in front of the “dead man” account number. ROFL.
