This scam email is easily identifiable because what ‘former defence officer’ of Gaddafi is going to know you AND use an ‘AT & T’ email address from the United States while claiming to be hiding in a ‘small European country’? It was the US who lead the bombing of the nation that lead to the capture and killing of Gaddafi! It’s the little clues like this that should tell you these types of emails are scams which attempt to part you from your identity and/or money. This email also attempts to assuage your fears by including a nifty link to a youtube video – don’t fall for it.

The email is being sent from a hacked server account via PRIVATEDNS.COM – a known shady hole on the internet. This webhost does a piss-poor job of watching the traffic over their network so it could be some time before these email stop from this particular account.

Do not respond to this email and if you have – contact your local legal authorities immediately. The scam email as sent to us is included unedited below:

Muhammad Ali Chief Defence Officer For Libyan President Muammar al-Gaddafi is a post from: Get Rich Fast

We’ve seen many scam emails claiming rejected ACH and related payments as of late and most take you to a hacked website where you are asked to fill in a form with your log in and password to your banking details. This one is after the same thing but does it in a different way. Once you visit the hacked website and install the software on your computer they will log your keystrokes and monitor all your internet and computer activities to steal your logins and passwords along with your personal identity.

The easiest way to avoid these scams is to never visit the hacked websites (as some have malware and other badware ready to try to self-install), and never ever install software from anywhere without first investing it and ensuring it is really necessary and safe. Run your virus programs on any software you download – no matter the source!

The scam email is below:

To the urgent attention of Accounting Dpt.!
In order to reduce the number of cases of fraud and scams, we have adopted a new security system. In this connection all your ACH and WIRE transactions will be suspended until you set up the required updates. In order to rehabilitate your account, you are required to install a special security software. Please use the link below hxxp://tibetctrip.cxx/123c2f/index.html and carefully read the instructions there to proceed with the installation.

We apologize for the inconveniences caused to you by this measure. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely yours, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Security Department

The email originates from a hacked server in Italy and the hacked website with the malicious software is on a different server at 208.113.223.29 which is run by NEW DREAM NETWORK LLC – NewDream.net

If someone is asking you to invest any amount of money, no matter how they try to frame it or wrap it up, be extra cautious. Get rich quick scams and schemes have been around since money was first used no doubt, but with the advent of instant information via technological advances, this notion has taken on a whole new meaning. That doesn’t mean a very savvy investor can never find a real way to make money fast – yes that can be done, but it is the exception rather than the rule and one should always remember that when fielding requests for your hard-earned money.

When someone promises you a return on your investment that sounds too good to be true – it most likely is. Always question their statistics and numbers and always, always, always, get a second and third opinion from someone not attached to the scheme. Only when you do your homework will you be truly educated and ready to invest smartly. Don’t allow the draw of quick riches to override your common sense. Shysters will promise you the world and the best ones can very convincing. But at the end of the day their only goal is to separate you from your money. Some con-artists will even piece you off some money early on to keep you on the hook – and they do this with other people’s money they have pulled into the scheme. And once they have piled up enough into their own pockets, does the pyramid come crashing down with you holding an empty bag of hollow promises.

Other get rich quick scams may involve products or services and others may include flashy brochures and handbooks etc. Scammers have learned over the years that they need to be more inventive with their scams and technology has allowed them sugarcoat their scam in fancy sounding nonsense.

So in short – there are ways to get rich fast, but they are few and far in-between. If you hear that little voice in the back of your head urging caution – listen to it. Today’s financial world is not providing many opportunities for the small time player to make reams of money – let alone in short order. Remember these few tidbits of information and you and your money will stay together!

Some scams are just so obvious (or at least should be) and this one is no exception. Just look at the vast amount of spelling mistakes, poor grammar and the feeble attempt to part you and your money. When reading such an email – like all scam emails – look for the most obvious clues. Putting aside the pathetic attempt at grammar and spelling, we have a scam claiming that you won a lottery held by Western Union. Western Union does not hold any such lottery and you would find that out with just a couple minutes on the Western Union website. And even if there were such a lottery that you didn’t enter, they don’t even know your real name but claim you as a winner – that’s when you know something is up.

If you get the following scam email just delete it and move on. Well, get a chuckle out of how poorly crafted it is before deleting if you like – it’s got to be good for something.

Welcome to western union money transfer inc is a post from: Get Rich Fast

This email scam contains wording lifted directly from the RBC website – word for word in fact. Obviously this was done to get away from the usual broken English featured in these scams and to give it more of an air of being real. The dead giveaway is the destination of the outgoing links – they lead to a compromised server and website at – seriouslychristmas.com.au/images/rbccc.xxx. Don’t visit the website – it could be hosting other nasty stuff for the unsuspecting like malware.

If you have followed the link in this email and have filled in the form you need to contact the real RBC immediately and explain to them what you have done. They will give you further instructions.

The entire scam email is below:

First the email is not addressed to you or anyone else. Who asks for help for monetary matters without at least knowing someone’s name? Second the email tries to pull you in with a combo of pain and suffering and great giving. Tugs the heart-strings doesn’t it? And that’s the point but don’t let you guard down. It’s all BS and meant to rob you blind.

Anyways long story short – this email or variations there of are all scams. Do not respond to them and if you have, you may need to contact your bank and/or local police department to take further action to protect yourself.

The email attempts to convince you to click on the links contained within it and be lead to a specially crafted website in order to steal your EasyWeb login credentials. Once they have this they will attempt to get into your real bank account and create further havoc by stealing your money and identity.

The scam uses one of the usual bank login detail stealing scams of saying your account password was changed. As with all of these emails don’t follow the links as the website may also try to install malware onto your computer.

The full scam email is below. The links lead to – flangetastic.com/thumbsclips/EasyWeb.htm and not the TD Canada Trust bank website. This scam website will not stay online long as the scammers hotlinked the images directly from the TD website! Not too bright.

The link claims to lead to a BBC News article but instead leads to a compromised server hosting a specially crafted attack website page. If your Internet browser and computer security are not up to date you may be a victim without even noticing. Resist the urge to click links in emails that are even a slight bit suspicious.

As with so many of these scams notice the garbled English, capitalization of words that don’t need it and of course the use of a free email address to do their scam. I especially love the line, “Please be honest to me.” You couldn’t make that stuff up! LOL

My father Mustafa Ramadan was among the people that died in the attack.You need to see the city of Misrata, it is hell.Misrata rose up with other towns against Gaddafi in March 2011 but most others have been retaken by government forces.

Before my Father’s death, he knew that Libya is getting dangerous everyday, he cannot afford to leave his business fund in Libya for any reason since business is not going on and knowing fully well that these funds is used in sponsoring his oil business.
He deposited some of the fund $10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)) to in an Oversea Bank before his untimely death.He used me as the beneficiary of the fund.But as it stands now,things are very rough and tight with me as I had to leave Libya while scamperring for safety.I want to claim the fund but I don’t have the resources to do so.I have the whole documents he used in depositing the fund.I want to change the beneficiary since I am not capable of claiming the fund.I am in desperate need of a Reliable and Trustworthy person who will receive, secure and protect this fund till I come over to your country for trhe sharing.
I have agreed that 40% of this money would be for you as Foreign partner, while the balance will be for my colleagues and I. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to The percentages indicated above once this money gets into your Account. Please be honest to me.

Your financial compensation will be 40% of the total FUND.

This Message Is Very Important! But It’s A Scam All The Same is a post from: Get Rich Fast

This scam email tries to trick you into logging into their fake website. They don’t even go to great lengths to try to hid the scam website which resides on yet another hacked website and server. The scammer is attempting to get you to sign over your banking details at – saurabhsaxena.com/www.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com.pcbanking.reqOption-SCLoginSSL.action-display.token – notice the beginning of the url – that is the scam site. Do not ever visit these sites as they could also be trying to install malware or other viruses onto your computer by viewing them with unsecured browsers.

The only attempt to make the email look official comes with their addition of French instructions in the email along with real links to Scotia Bank. It’s the one single link that is masked that will lead to the fake website.

If you have already gone to that website and filled in your personal banking details you will need to contact both your bank and your local police department and notify them of what has taken place.

The scam email is noted in full below.
