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.

This email scam like all the others comes with all the tell-tale signs that it is a scam intended to steal your money and/or identity. How many times must we state that anyone affiliated with a government organization or corporation is not going to use a free email address for official business? This is one of the easiest clues for you to tell the difference between a scam email and something legitimate. As well note that they never actually use your name but somehow know that YOU were scammed by someone else. They know this but cannot use your name to when warning you? Yes, clearly a scam. As well note the poor spelling and grammar throughout the email.

Western Union is also identified as the method of money transfer because it is one of the most commonly used ways scammers steal your money and get away without a trace. NEVER send money via Western Union or any similar service unless you know without a shadow of a doubt just who the money is going to. If in doubt – don’t send it!

The scammers are using a hijacked hosting account in the United States to facilitate their crime.

Like all these scams do not respond. And if you are the intended target – someone who has already been scammed – learn your lesson already.

The scam email is noted below.

Attention,

After proper and several investigations and research at Western Union and MoneyGram Office, we found your name in Western Union database amongst those that have sent money through Western Union to Nigeria and neighboring countries indicating that you have truly been swindled by those unscrupulous persons. We presently are working hand in hand with Western Union to track every down fraudsters and advise you not to respond to their e-mails, letters and phone calls any longer to avoid being a victim

In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) United States Of America and it was agreed that all Victims of Scam should be compensated to the tune of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($120,000).This will be transferred to you out of the funds that Federal Government of Nigeria and The United Nations Organization (UNO) has set aside for compensation to everyone who have in one way or the other been swindled.

New Reverse Nigerian Scam Email is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Anyways, the latest Scotia Bank scam email is noted below. You will quickly see why we are calling these guys morons.

It comes with an attachment – online-banking-verification-scotia-bank.html or some variation there of. They also attempt to have the same form load in your email and if you have enabled html you will probably see it right away. For good measure and extra security you should turn this feature off or at least set it so that you have to enable it for each email yourself. Thunderbird for example does this for you in a simple manner. Do not open the attachment – never open such attachments!

As always notice it’s not actually addressed to anyone – let alone you. It contains no customer numbers and is full of spelling/grammar mistakes. The email return address has been faked and links lead to a hacked website which is being used as a vector to collect stolen information from you so that they can drain your accounts.

Dear Customer,

Scotia Bank is informing all internet banking customers to verify and update there account information for our security update.

Please download our secure page to login your account details and make sure you complete the process as your interest is our concern.

Note: This verification process must not be ignored but if you choose then you leave us no choice to suspend your online account.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this action may have caused.

Scotia Bank Internet Banking

New Scotia Bank Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The following email alert from the RBC Royal Bank is a fake. It is an email scam meant to steal your login and personal details so that the scammer may fraudulently access your bank account and possibly steal your identity. The entire scam email is below.

Notice the tell-tale signs of an email scam – not addressed to you personally and it was sent to multiple recipients. The link in the email body leads to segosselin.com/install/language/www1.royalbank.com/accessrbunxcg/fakeremoved/index.htm. Notice the initial top-level domain is not the Royal Bank but some website called segosselin.com. They try to confuse you by including what appears to be the proper address later in the url string. Clearly they are using a hacked account to perpetrate their online crime.

The email actually comes from – mail.newwavemktg.com IP 216.75.6.122 which leads to a hosting company account which has more than likely also been compromised and now used to facilitate this crime.

If you have filled out the form already – contact your bank and local police departments immediately.

Dear Valued Customer,

Royal Bank of Canada Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

This scam email gives a link which claims to be for your your online banking account but leads to http://202.28.24.134/XXX-scam-link. That IP address leads to an infected computer in Thailand from the KKU.AC.TH in Chiang Mai. A website has been setup to mimic your normal TD Canada Trust login and this is where they will steal your personal details and then attempt to drain your account dry.

As always with any email you suspect is fake and a scam attempt read it carefully. There are always clues. This one has a glaring example of the stupidity and haste to which these scammer morons act to always try to lure in more people. They don’t check their emails very carefully for this one clearly says at the bottom – Scotia Bank, Member FDIC. Why would the TD Canada Trust bank be putting Scotia Bank stuff in their emails? Of course they wouldn’t but lazy scammers who don’t know better will.

The scam email is below. If you get a similar email do not click the link in it. If you already have and filled in their form, you need to immediately contact your TD Canada Trust branch and tell them you were tricked. Call the customer service line right now – do not wait!

If not completed within 48 hours, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, because it can be used in a fraudulent intent. Thank you for your comprehention in this way. To confirm your online account:

HACKED SERVER LINK REMOVED

It’s clearly written by someone who is either seven years old or where English is not their first language. As with all email scams that should always clue you in – major companies do not send out emails in broken English.

But where this one gets amusing when looking at the source code of the email. It’s clear they have hijacked someone’s hosting account and are using it for their crime attempt. But looking closer we see that in an attempt to make the email look like an official one from PayPal they have linked DIRECTLY to the PayPal image server! Doh!

Keeping yourself and your PayPal account secure is easy – use long very hard passwords and change them often. Don’t use PayPal via unsecured wireless networks or shared computers. And if you are unsure about something with your account – never click on a link in an email to matter how convincing it may seem. Go directly to PayPal.com yourself.

PayPal Scams Via Email is a post from: Get Rich Fast

As with all scam emails this one has tell-tale signs that should alert you to the scam they are trying. This is your classic – you are a winner but need to send information to get your prize. You will almost always find with these scams that you will also have to send some type of payment for some reason such as taxes, handling costs etc. Thing is – even after you meet these requirements the money never comes. They may even ask for a second round of payments with the promise that your money is indeed on the way. Don’t fall for it.

The scam email is below. The UN – United Nations – does not give away money to random people in junction with anybody. Nor do they give away money by themselves to individuals via email. If you get this email – it is a scam, do not respond and if you have, you will need to contact your local police department as soon as possible.

Lucky Seven Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Often the scam will involve some attempt at cloaking the actual destination of any outbound links from the body of the email. Usually these are easily spotted by mousing your cursor over the link and reading the destination address in the footer bar of your browser or email client. Though some more clever scammers will try to avoid this by other means or by relying on those unaware of how to increase the security of their email clients and browsers. Whenever possible set your email client or browser to display in plain text and/or the full source code. That way you can view exactly where the outbound addresses lead.

Some more inventive scammers will go a bit further and will register domain names that are confusingly similar to the real thing. But with a bit of education and time you will quickly learn how to spot these as well. And the dead giveaway is always the domain name extension.

A domain name extension is always the last part after the “.” in a website address before the first trailing slash. For example this website uses the extension “ca” which is reserved for Canada. Scammers will try to cloak this by maybe even including the actual website address in their own url address by using subdomains:

Some further examples:
www.canada.gc.ca.imascammer.net/fake
In this example the domain extension is .net. Notice its location furthermost to the right and immediately before the first trailing slash.

www.canadarevenueagency..co.cc/
For this example the domain extension is .co.cc

We are all familiar with the most popular domain extensions like “com”, “net” and “org”. But when it comes to fake Government of Canada websites the one you need to remember is “gc.ca”. That domain name extension is reserved solely for the use by the Canadian government. If the email you get doesn’t have that as the domain name extension and is claiming to be from the Canadian government – it is a fake.

You can even go further to protect yourself if you are still unsure. You can visit the .gc.ca registry and confirm the domain exists in the official registry. Find the registry here – http://registre-registry.gc.ca/accueil-home_eng

One thing to never do though is even out of curiosity – is to click the links found in these emails or visit those websites. They are likely candidates for other nefarious activity like virus and trojan transmission to your website browser and computer.

How To Identify Fake Canadian Government Websites is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The email they send is included below. If you get this email do not send them money – it is a scam. The scammers use the company name TONGTONG INC. and when doing more investigation they move their websites from server to server very often – trying to elude those they have scammed. One domain name has had its ip changed 22 times in the past year. As one server company shuts them down due to complaints they just move to another and keep repeating it.

You don’t have to worry about your search engine listings in any way if you do not pay. They never say what search engine you are at risk of losing listing in – and of course they don’t because they have nothing to do with any search engine and you will not be removed from them unless you let your website expire/take it offline. It’s a scam classic scare tactic to try to get you to act in a hurry.

You will also find the domaindesigns220.com domain name associated with this latest scam round. It doesn’t resolve to a website but it is used as a vector for their sending of spam emails to facilitate their scam. It is registered to the TongTong Inc. and uses the following information:
David Lee robertreo22@gmail.com
+1.4154837764
Fax:
4450 Starlane Blvd.
San Fransisco, CA 94148

The email address domainsy220@hotmail.com is also associated with this scam.

Domain Notification: This Is Your Final Notice of Domain Listing is a post from: Get Rich Fast

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
being a victim to fraudsters any longer because they have nothing to offer you but to rip-off what you have
worked earnestly hard to earn.

In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) And (F.B.I) Federal Bureau OF Investigtion
and as a consequence of our investigations it was agreed that the sum of One Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$100,000.00)
should be transferred to you out of the funds that Federal Government of Nigeria In colarburation with the United State Of America has set aside as a compensation to
everyone who have by one way or the other sent money to fraudsters in Nigeria and other countries

***Please note that we will no longer be liable for any loss, cost or expense whatsoever, suffered
or incurred by You in connection with the fraudsters.
Be warned!
We have deposited your fund at Western Union Money Transfer agent location EMS Post office Lagos, Nigeria We have paid for the registration and transfer fee and for sucurity reasons we have also insured your fund to avoid misappropriation.
