Posted February 29, 2008 · Charles O
I found this in my email inbox today; the question is: how did it managed to escape Yahoo!‘s spam filter (with these email-borne 419 schemes being all last-century and played-out and stuff).
But, the reason I’m posting this is because, really, it doesn’t get any lower than this… It’d be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic:

I might sound silly to say this but i really trusted the email & the data because i thought it’s not junk since the email existed in my inbox, but still was suspicious.So, i googled and tried to find the man’s name in the official site but didn’t exist except in this article!!!! i’m worried because i sent all my personal infoin the reply… is anybody can help from this not to happen again to anybody else, because i think these kind of junk emails help people who are good at computer science to steal others IDs” identity thieft”

Lily,
As a rule, if you receive an unsolicited email that requests information from you, you’re better off ignoring and deleting it. Most legitimate organizations do not make policies of requesting their customers’ or publics’ personal information via e-mail.
Another equally important general rule: if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Take care.

Regrettably the 419 scam is not played-out and has, in fact, become much more sophisticated.
Added by Miyu on Mar 06 at 07:23 PM
Hi everyone!
Today I received the same e-mail as you did. And I almost bought it! But then I started doubting about that “nicely-wrapped-up-New-Year-present”. Somebody said something like that: “If you have some doubts, there is no doubt!” Thanks for your cautions,guys!
Watch out for a hoax!
Added by Vadim on Mar 12 at 02:39 AM
Hah I got the same email just today. I wanted it to check it first and it seem that the two grand “winners” are a lot more :D
Here’s what I found out. The guy sending this is called Luis Costa from Lisboa, PT. The address, email, and phone number are fake. The email doesn’t exists, the phone number is from OHIO and the address is crap.
Man I thought this kind of jokes are long forgoten from fraudsters.
Added by George on Mar 12 at 03:46 AM
Thank you everyone for helping. I knew it was a hoax, still bought it.How miseable our world is.......Well, let’s see the bright side: started dreaming.....again. Fell on the ground......again. No problem: still have my own private dreams....no money is needed for them
