"Scammers often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man." - Scams

This book is about dishonesty - from street level to Cyberworld . It describes the common scams in circulation today and their origins. It shows how each fraud is perpetrated and how the informed reader can avoid or at least minimise their losses when faced with the scenario. If after reading this book you still manage to get scammed, you deserve to be put facing a corner with a dunce cap on your head and whipped with your empty wallet !

My Greetings,

I am Sally Miller from Texas diagnosed of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and my Doctor told me that my Life is now short-lived due to the damage the cancer has done to me.

Having known this condition, I have decided to entrust my entire estate valued at $50 Million USD (Fifty Million USD which was realised from the sale of my inherited shares and oil blocs here in Texas) to
you so that you can utilize this money for the upkeep of widows, people with Physical disabilities and charities.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly because I do not have any child and the only two living relatives died last year of the same illness which i battle now.

The funds equivalent of $50 Million USD is currently deposited in an Offshore Account in a reputable bank here in the states and once i get your details i will give you the contact of the bank.

Send to me the following information; Copy of Driver's License, Mobile Number, Occupation.

Please send me an email on: sally_miller27@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Sally Miller.

Attention: Beneficiary,
 
This is Nicolas Michel, your information is among those who have not received their compensation from the United Nations after series of complains from FBI and other Security agencies from the various continent against Africa/Asia for the rate of scam activities going on in these nations. I am privileged to be in Russia for a special auditing program under the auspices of my boss Mr. Ban Ki-Moon and the World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim, have agreed with the Russian Government that US$1 Million will be compensate to you.
 
As you are aware, many foreigners have invested thousands of Dollars into Africa/Asian transactions in hopeless dreams to have none of them become a reality, as directed by Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, We have agreed with the Russian Government that US$50,000.00 would be split/ paid to you through the Western Union Money Transfer Via special arrangement as first installment.
 
This is to enable you have enough funds to pay for the Tax Clearance and bank charges before you will receive the balance of  US$950,000.00 Dollars
 
I await your response for further proceedings.
 
Sincerely yours,
Ms. Nicolas Michel
(Under-Secretary-General, UNCC)
