wrong impressions

I would like to correct some wrong impression expressed by a reader concerning my blog.

First of all i do not encourage people to scam bait, for this reason i have added the header as you now see in my blog title.

Please i do not mean to sterotype the victims of scams when i stated that they were desperate, by all means not victims of scams are not all desperate. Hopefully i have not given a false sense of immunity for those who do not fit this profile. When i was speaking of victim's profile i was looking at victims in the eyes of these scammers who see their victims as desperate and try to milk them.

Scammers are very organised these days and how they work is what i hope to enlighten you upon so that if you recognise any pattern in anyone you have met online you get away before it is too late.

Scam baiting ir really dangerous and must be avoided at all costs. ReAD my blog and drop your own opinions. I highly appreciate all your comments. Thanx!

There's more to come stay tuned.

This is crazy! suddenly i can be in more than one place at the same time!!! Its not magic folks, that my friends is the power of call forwarding, call roaming or call diverting which ever term you chose to call it. It is so convenient you can be anywhere in the world and still answer your calls.

Well i aint gonna go all techie on you guys, but i will tell you how scammers use this technology to trick people out of their cash (trust man to find a way to use everything for one form of criminality).

Well journey with me into the underworld of scam men/women (women are in the game too, you didn't think only men were having all the fun did you?!).


Call forwarding is as easy as three steps, (i know i said i wasn't goin to go all techie on u guys but hey its three steps ok! its important):

After logging into a website like toolfreeforwarding.com there are many others but i think they have one of the best rates, you;

(1) you pick the country you want the phone line in


(2)select your number(new country number)



(3)and then lastly you select where you want to forward your calls to and then you type in your current location number.

I think thats three and a half steps,thats besides the point!

So it is as easy as this to get a phone number from whatever country and link or divert it to the number you are using now anywhere you are, aint technolgy a b**ch!

What that means is that anyone for example can have a a uk,canadian or an american number and answer their calls from their local number and they can be anywhere,sweeeeeet!!


Not so sweet when con men use it though and i'm gonna tell you just how they do it.Its simple really. Con men know how to identify desperate people and they milk desperate people dry. A scammer gets a European or American number and leads you to believe that he is an American or European,infact they make you believe they are so in love with you and they are coming over to marry you.

This brings me to the desperate thing again, scammers know women and men outside europe n America are desperate to get hooked up to these 'elite' citizens, so they pretend they are from these countries and promise marriage to these 'deperate' people' in the hopes of scamming them out of their cash. I mean with the american and european numbers which they use to decieve it is no surprise the success rate f this type of scam.

Once they have gotten you to believe then they spin you with a fake package or what ever story they come out with to scam you.

So please be careful when someone gives you a number from anywhere they claim they might just be next door to you. Love yourself Give your love but keep your money unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure of what you are putting it in.

Love y'all! will bring you more inside secrets,until we meet again i go undergoround to discover more secrets.

tHe ScaMMeRs pAcKAge

Hey people!! how y'all doing!

Hope you managed to give your hearts to someone who deserves it, and kept your money intact in the process?

I am excited today 'cos i just learned something i am just dying to share with you! you want to know what don't you?


What i am gonna be sharing with you a scammers trick known as 'THE PACKAGE.' It was revealed to me by a friend of a friend. *wink*

I am gonna start from the beginning, you ready to delve into the underground world of con men, then follow me....


PROFILING

The first process is to create a profile in one of the many popular social network or dating sites. (match.com is now a favorite hunting ground).


They search the internet and steal pictures of good looking guys and women, usually from American and European origins. Then they make up this About Me write up that reads like a breeze. The write-ups are very similar, you can check through my subsequent posts for a sample scammers About Me. It usually reads on how much they are looking for true love and blah blah blah! True love my a**!!


The next thing they do is to select candidates that they send a message and ask them to add them on yahoo chat usually. Then the real work begins.

THE FIRST BAIT

Once they manage to get you to chat,they bait you in slowly. They fill you with stories of lost loves and make you feel like they are giving love a chance in falling madly in love with you and they got very high sounding jobs, their favorite is a job in the oil industry, some are pilots,bankers, etc. The trick is to let you think the person you chatting with is financially stable and is just out looking for true love, which he has found in you of course!

Once he has gotten you to trust and even fall in love, then its time to 'surprise you' with a 'gift package'. Some victims are chosen for the closeness of their birthdays(The catch is to look for a reason to send a gift to you).

THE SECOND BAIT

A gift package is sent to you for any excuse the scammer manufactures. You are excited and can't wait to recieve your lover's gift. Then one morning (not necessarily in the morning!) you get a call from a courier service personnel informing you that there has been a problem with a package that has been sent to you, this gets interesting this is where most people are hooked.

The 'courier' people tell you that inside the package sent to you was found a large sum of money, for example they may tell you that inside the package was a sum of 15ooo pounds. You are taken by this omg! all that money. The courier tell you it is illegal to send money through this means and so your package will be sent to the authorities if you do not take 'action'. They also threaten that the sender might be in trouble for trying to launder money and all the criminal bull they can trudge up.


In reality this courier service is either a phishing site mirroring a legitimate courier website or a bogus website that has been set up to scam unsuspecting people. The websites are so professional looking that if you log in your details you will be told that you do indeed have a package coming to you and the travel routes, it is so real! many of this scam websites have been shut down but many are being created.

You get in touch with your lover, who has anxiously been waiting for your call hoping that you took the bait. He pretends to be anxious and tells you he had a good intention and that he just wanted to give a pleasant surprise, you will get a surprise but i don't think it would be pleasant though.


THE KILL

He now ask you to get intouch with them, he tells you he can't do it since he is offshore or too busy with work to, and ask them if the 'problem' can be resolved. you get in touch with the 'courier service' and they tell you that some money will have to paid so that they can convert the status of the parcel. You inform your 'lover' who now asks you to please do him the favour of paying the charges, and gives you an excuse of being away at work (maybe offshore), you think what the heck you are going to be 15oooo pounds richer so you pay the charges the courier asks you to pay. They ask you to pay the money through the Western Union Money Transfer.

Thinking that you have settled the 'problem' you wait to recieve your package.Wrong!! cos no package is coming!!! the 'courier company' is a fake and will continue to call you again and again claiming all sorts of problems that will demand you continue to pay money until you wise up. The country the package is stuck in, is the country where the scammers operate from. Wait a minute YOU DON'T THINK BECAUSE YOU CAN REACH HIM WITH A UK NUMBER HE ACTUALLY LIVES IN THE UK, HAVE YOU HEARD OF INTERNATIONAL CALL DIVERTING! well thats a topic for another day.

REALITY CHECK

At the end you don't get any package, you don't get the love you thought you had and you lose lose your money in the process.

scam me! me!! me!!!

The ease at which people are scammed over the internet these days makes it seem like people are falling over each other to be scammed, I am ready! scam me! me!! me!! i have done a little research at the different methods these scammers use,while some are ingenious(you must hand it to them),others are quite glaring. I must however confess that when emotions are involved,things that should be clear becomes blurry all of a sudden. Thats the reason romance scams have become so prevalent, 'cause its easy.

lets analyse this scenerio together if you will.

Scenerio 1:

Girl meets 'boy' or vice versa, (it might not be that pretty girl or that dashing young guy you are really chatting with, for all you know it might be a monkey!).








Scenerio 2:

Girl falls in love with monkey,...sorry, guy, after talking for a few times, (Isnt it just in our nature to want something more when we can't have it), how else can u explain when someone falls in love with someone they haven't met before, you just have a picture for crying out loud! In most cases its not the real person.





Scenerio 3:

The monkey.....its a dude!!!now concots a crazy story that requires you to send some certain sum of monies and because you are so dumb...... sorry, so in love, u send it?? You keep sending him money until you find out that you have been played the fool. First you experience denial, but you can only lie to yourself for so long until you finally accept the truth, and its heart wrenching it is ot something anyone should experience.



That is why i have gone undercover( i am really undercover for your information) and i will be educating y'all on all the ways scammers use to separate you from your money. My god they sophisticated,their stories are more convincing and garnished, they have become so hi-tech they will decieve the wisest person.



I will be breaking the CONMAN's code and i wil bare it all. All the tricks, the tools they use,how they do it, the whole nine yards. Hopefully i will be helping some people because at the end of the day we are all connected right in some way or the other,really we are!



Do stick with me and you will learn things that will blow your mind!



I am Laura and i will be breaking the conman's code.Join me for this ride.Hold on to your hats!!!!
