Careful with Email Based Online Bank Transaction

Money Maniac — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:46:16 +0000

I come across with an article from TheStarOnline where a graduate student from Batu Berendam has become a victim of an online bank scam. According to him, he has received an email from a well known bank (at least the interface is very similar), requesting him to update his account. Everything seems normal until the bank called him & noticed that he has lost RM5,000.

Well, just a little piece of advice, NEVER EVER do your transaction via your email. Any email sent to you should be clarified first. Just give a call to the bank involved. Nowaday, people are getting brilliant and the scam are getting smart! Be careful friends!

Making Easy Money, REMINDER!

Money Maniac — Mon, 25 May 2009 11:44:43 +0000

No doubt that people are searching for an easy way of making tons of money. But do money comes that easy? If yes, please share it here, as I will be one of them. Well, due to this eagerness, we have seen so many cases of fraud, scam and preys. And because of this, many ‘intelligent’ individuals sees this as an opportunity of quick money themselves. Now, they get richer easily & the rest….hmmm no comment. This post I dedicate to all innocent people out there please be very careful with all the scam out there. Yes, it is an easy way of getting richer, but not all will get to taste it. So better be safe than sorry.

If you are a risk taker, you can still invest, but do it on legal parties, and NOT to those illegal ones.

A Scam? Homzy Allied PLC – EXCANDINE MULT-CLEANSER-GEM XHG

Money Maniac — Sat, 23 May 2009 11:18:49 +0000

I have received an email from Ms Jenifer Lincoln claiming that she (I believe a lady sender) is a purchasing manager to Homzy Allied PLC & is suffering fromEsophageal Cancer. She is looking for the middle man in Malaysia & I thought it could give me an opportunity to earn more money, besides part time blogging. I then replied the mail & made a little research about the business.

Unfotunately, I come across few posts & discussions at Making Most of the Internet, Fresh Scams From The Inbox, Maybe Now, 419Baiter, ScamLetters, where they claimed that it is a scam or in other word a fraud. Just an alert to those who have received the same email, the sender may be differ & same goes to the rate. Just be very careful with it. Dont be the victim of the scam.

Just in case you want to visit their Web Page, it is at: http://www.homzyallied.com/. Below is the snapshot of their web Page:

Below is the content of the email that I received & will update if I got any reply from them.

Am Ms Jenifer lincoln 56years old, citizen of London Uk, a purchasing
manager to a company here called HOMZY ALLIED PLC. MANCHESTER,
LONDON..
Kindly give attention to this letter, though it will bring surprise to you
as it comes from a strange person. Due to my condition now, i honorable
demand for your co-operations, honest, reliablity and sincerely on this
transaction as a Friend / business partner, i have deliberated it in my
mind and decided to contact you and offer you this business proposal.

I have decided to intimate you personally and discreetly with this
business proposal which will be of mutual benefit to both of us. When i
was persuring through your profile, I became aware of your credibility, I
am the purchasing manager to HOMZY ALLIED PLC. MANCHESTER, LONDON. and
i use to come to malaysia to purchase a certain product. Now i will no
more be able to make my trip to malaysia as normal does because of my
health,

I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very
late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all forms
of medicine, and right now am on admission in the hospital that will take
few months according to medical director.

Though my company have arranged to send my assistant for the mission to
purchase the products on behalf of my company which i normally bought in
Malaysia. For the fact that i do buy the product ( EXCANDINE
MULT-CLEANSER-GEM XHG ) at the rate of ($1,500 u.s dollars) per a carton
of six bottles and re-sold to my company at rate of ($3,200 u.s dollars)
The Excandine multi-cleanser-xhg is a new scientific chemical fluid
substance manufactured in North korea , its of lubricant, mainly used in
the gemological laboratory for the purification of diamonds clarity
treatment, it penetrate deep into diamond and vaporizes out black
inclusion in diamonds and other precious stones listed below:-
(1) Tanzanite
(2) Citrine
(3) Pink topaz
(4) Aquamarine
(5) Ruby
(6) Sapphire
(7) Zircon (both blue and colorless)

These product are rare and highly demanded by my company in Britain,
though not long it came to existence, it was introduce to our company by a
Chinese friend, Mrs Jessy Chau, a gemologist in USA, who gave me a sample
for text on my last visit to the United States.

After our companies research on this product, I discovered it in Malaysia
and i have been going to Malaysia for the purchases .
I now wish to appoint you as our local agent in Malaysia, so that the
assistant purchasing manager who will soon be in Malaysia will have to
buy the products through you in other to protect my former dealings, I
have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared to
have a friend then in Malaysia but focus on my business as that was the
only thing I cared for.

But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than
just wanting to have or make all. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I cannot do this my self for now. Iam offering you 60% of the
proceeds from each of the deals whenever he comes to make the purchase of
the products as its going to be a continuous business until i stand back
on my feet while 30% is for me and 10% would be your local and
international operational costs during each of the business transactions
in Malaysia.

This transaction is completely risk free to you and will last a day or two
days only. I dont want the person they will be sending to know the cost
price that i have been buying the product in malaysia. The dealer of this
product is a malaysian lady, I want to introduce you as the dealer to my
Company so that my representative will buy it through you.

If you promise to be faithful to me by sending my percentage after the
transaction with my company, i will now send you all the details you need
for the business.I need a trustworthy person that will handle this
business for me until i stand back on my feet. For more information please
do contact me with my private E-mail address: msjenifer.lincoln@gmail.com.
I want truth & honest to be our watch word.While waiting for your positive
and urgent reply.
Warmest regards
Yours Ms Jenifer lincoln
