This one made me laugh pretty hard when I read it. Here we have a classic scam but only in reverse. They are trying to claim to be on your side by protecting you from other scammers when in fact that is just what they are trying to do to you! Don’t fall for their stupid scam. Use your common sense and see the gaping holes in their email and explanation of what they are doing.

As usual they claim to be in one place but use an email from somewhere completely different. They claim to be working on your behalf and have secured money in Nigeria, yet they want you to respond to an email address in China. And the email was originally sent from Taiwan! This should throw up huge red flags in itself.

Notice the classic poor use of the English language, capitalization of words that don’t need it, spelling mistakes and just the clumsy way they attempt to sound official. If you get the email below it is a scam. It is internet fraud so do not respond.

Attention,

After proper and several investigations and research at Western Union and MoneyGram Office, we found out that many good citizen from diffrent countries have been sending money
through Western Union to Nigeria and other countries, this proves that peoples has been swindled by those unscrupulous persons by sending money to them through Western Union&MoneyGram in the course of getting one fund or the other.

Right now we are working hand in hand with Western Union&Money Gram to track every fraudsters down, do not respond to their e-mails,
letters and phone calls any longer as they are scammers and you should be very careful to avoid

worked earnestly hard to earn.

and as a consequence of our investigations it was agreed that the sum of One Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$100,000.00)
