    Angry New angle on scamming... Beware..!!!!

    I was a bit dismayed today in finding this mail in my inbox, and I better pass it along as I think it may be useful to members to know that some people have no scruples.

    So ladies and gents, if you get something like this just bin it.....

    Here we go... Copy and paste.

    UK VISA APPROVAL‏
    From:<IMG id=P___1792504777 style="DISPLAY: none" webimdisplayStyle="inline"> Isa Muhammad (isa00312@yahoo.com) You may not know this sender.Mark as safe| Mark as unsafe Sent:16 January 2009 17:32:01To: modthatmeduffaddress@hotmail.com
    I got your post on the Forum and wish to inform you that i was also rejected a Working Holiday Visa to UK. And was assisted to secure a UK WORK PERMIT by Mr Hanson Steve of the Border and Immigration Department of the Uk. He can still help you secure yours if you can contact him and tell him the Truth about what you wish to go and do in the Uk. His email id is (hansonlovsu003@yahoo.com) Tell him Mr isa Muhammad Recommended you to Him and i belief he will help you secure the Visa within Three weeks from now.

    Regards
    Isa Muhammad.

    Obviously Nigerian scammer at work.

    Thank you for the heads up, always good to keep ahead of them

    But although he/she is a scammer and many are from the country you mention. Maybe fairer to just call a scammer as Britain and phill have there fair share of con artists and crooks as well.

    As we all know many Filipinas and their loved ones suffer from nasty sterotypes.

    Ie mail order bride etc.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    I email people like that back, and insult them like they never knew they could get insulted!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    The giveaway is always the email address - as if UKVisas or indeed the UK government would use Yahoo email.

    My auntie's brother's sister - in -law's dentist's milkman has left £50,000,000,000,000 to be distributed amongst all filipinouk members.

    Just send me £100 and I PROMISE you will all be rich tomorrow!!

    Not alwyas a good idea to reply they know its a live account and what ever you do make sure your real name is not in the email addy and of course no signature with personal details full name, address phone number etc or the company you work for etc.
