This is a document written about advanced fee scam. Quite a good summary.

Check it out.

Scammer strikes again using popular commercial company's name. In this case, they are are BSing that recipients won £178,226 (wow wow).

And then you are required to provide your personal information to someone using a free Yahoo! email address, manager_mixer@yahoo.co.uk, to claim the prize. No, they don't ask about your bank account no. in the first email. But they will somehow rip something from the victim, either bank account, cash... if not, just a trojan attached to a word document in the 3rd or 4th email will do the trick for a victim who doesn't wish to give up their bank savings or hard-earned cash.

Please see attached for details.

It seemed that scammers are striking out using the 2 famous brands (Pepsi and Coca Cola) at the same time. This particular scam on Pepsi even attachs the "Pepsi Icon" from the Pepsi site.

Of importance, they provided the following contact details, which might be fake (we have not tried).

                                       Name: Mr.Mark Barry                                      Phone # :+447024033273

We are pleased to inform you of the result of the just concluded annual final draws of Heineken   Annual Promo. 
 The online Heineken  Annual Promo draws was conducted by a random selection of email addresses from an exclusive list of 29,031 E-mail addresses of individuals and corporate bodies picked by an advanced automated random computer (TOPAZ) search from the internet. However, no tickets were sold but all email addresses were assigned to different ticket numbers for representation and privacy.

Although there are many scams going around, not many people will bite the bait everytime. The point is this, the scammers don't need to have a good respond, but what they need is just one or few out of the million to fall into the trap. Let's say 10,000 victims were selected, after which say, only 100 responded. During the transaction, probably another 95 decided that "whatever" they are going to do is risky or smell the rat, and dropped it off. The scammers still have 5 victims, who are willing to pay, say an advanced fee of $10,000 each. That would be $50,000, or one year's pay for a middle-income earner. Well, if that sum of money is not good enough for you, it is good enough for a scammer. 

Then again, we ask who are these 5 victims, or the 100 potential victims who would respond to the scammers?

This may sound shocking if I said to you how and why most of all online income opportunities are scams. They all seem to suck more money out of you, leading you to believe you are on the right path then one day it dawns to you that this isn't working. They are keeping you away of what really works. You rarely make any money with those programs. What you have to do to earn money is shown to you incorrectly I point this fact you MUST INVEST IN YOURSELF.

We received an email regarding online scam artists offering high-paying job of about 600 GBP per week, or US$9,000 per month. The scammer will require the victim to send an advanced fee to a personal account, in order to make the necessary Visa and travel arrangements.

These scamming baits can be found via email and at social networking sites at myspace.com. Most of the time, the victims may be hired even when they lack the credentials for the job.

With the confirmation of scammers using high-paying jobs as bait, we are putting up an earlier subsmission on similar scam.

This email offers a high-paying freelance job as a representative for an organisation called 'Donation Europe'. As a representative, you will only need to work 2 - 3 hours a day so as to earn 1500 to 3500 EUR per WEEK.

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.

Nigerian Scammers pranked into doing Monty Python

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...
