Scam Money Transfer
Emails:
Evans Tim, Barrister to
Mr. Morris Thompson,
an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight 261
"Evans Tim", another pseudonym used by a really stupid scammer,
stars in the sample scam email below. This scammer must be one of the
dumbest around. Not only is his spelling, punctuation and grammar
pathetic, but he doesn't even understand that the English name he is trying to
use ought to be "Tim Evans", not "Evans Tim". Here it is, for your
entertainment and education, with key passages that are clues to the scam
highlighted, such as poor
grammar, poor punctuation, spelling errors, the money comes from a dead person
(assassinated by rebels, no less!), blah, blah, blah. "Evans Tim" claims
to be a lawyer. In most countries, a person with advanced education would
be able to spell simple works correctly.
Note that the airline crash and name of the dead passenger may
be real, but so what? Anyone can look up an news story on the internet,
then copy some of the details into an email.
And, as usual, even if this were all true and he really was a
lawyer representing the estate of a dead millionaire... then he's proposing that
you assist in fraud and money laundering. Those are federal crimes.
