DSE 5 #1 December 13, 2009 This evening, two fellow wingsuiters and myself were hit up by a scammer on Facebook, purporting to be the same person to all three of us at different times. All of us rec'd the same story about a mutual friend who was in London, robbed at gunpoint, needing money to get home, and asking for $750.00. I asked the scammer a question that only my friend would know the answer to,they disappeared offline. When I tried to post to the friend's wall to alert others, that was deleted and I was "unfriended." Watch out for scammers using Facebook mutual friends to find you. Apparently this is a fairly common Nigerian scam. This public service message brought to you by Ovaltine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #3 December 13, 2009 The other one to watch for is links in status updates. Pretty sure that most all of my friends aren't "making money on google" or wanting to be sure I see the latest dating site. Click on the link and soon you'll be sending out the same status updates. If it's not posted via the facebook link thingie, don't click on it. And change your password frequently, too. This public service message has been brought to you by Tang.

xtravrtsoul 0 #5 December 13, 2009 Thank you for the watch out. I just studied Nigeria in Political Science class what a screwed up country. Also watch for the new virus running on there too, it is a video that will be sent to you that says, "I found this old video of you, it's really funny do you remember it." And don't open it if it is on your home page on other peoples wall. :)You create life, life does not create you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We alerted him and he alerted FB but it took him a bit of work to get his FB page back up and running. Friends, know that I would CALL you for money, not post it on FB. Oh, friends, send me your phone number just in case ... This public service message brought to you by Slap Chop!

Remster 30 #9 December 14, 2009 I cant believe people try stupid scams like this...By the Way, Douglas: I have this account I need to move money from in the UK. I was inherited and I now have $78,000,000 (seventy eight million dollars US) to move, but cannot do it under my name. Can you send me your bank information, and I will initiate a transfer to you, and you can keep 2,000,000 yourself. Best Regards Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
