I realize that I am receiving many scams, especially via my Yahoo mailbox, which is surprisingly bad at catching scams, despite the effort I put trying to train the filtering engine (by telling it whenever it made a wrong decision).

This section contains the collection of scam emails that I received. Some of them I tried to follow up and track down the criminal (not very successful so far), others I just ignore and push to my spam box.

 

I hope by publishing these scams, it would help protecting others from them. Have fun reading them also :)
 

My advice in dealing with scam is: be suspicious, ask yourselves before following up on a fortunate opportunity: "is this too good to be true?", then double check by googling the sender email addresses, his name, his company or the email content... Hopefully if it is a scam, you will find that someone else has posted that email in the Internet to warn others. Also, authentic people tend to not use gmail, yahoo mail, or other free email services when they are contacting people regarding a multi-millions or multi-billion dollars business. (I would use my uiuc.edu email)

If you have scam email samples which you want to donate to this collection and publish at my website, please forward them to my address at nguyen? This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (? should be replaced with minh). Be sure to include your name so that I can attribute your contribution. Please change the subject to include "[Scam]" to make sure your email get pass my Gmail spam filtering.

 

Thanks!
