A collection of email scams I have gotten in my inbox. I share them for all the world to see. I update this blog every time I get a new scam email in my inbox that I find interesting, unusual, or just plain wacky. I think it is important to be aware of the amount of email scams that are out there. Remember to use common sense when you see an enticing email that offers great rewards for minimal effort. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Fifa, Microsoft Lottery Scam
========================================================================
This is OBVIOUSLY a scam. Look at the Yandex.com email address, (considering Microsoft corp. doesn't participate in lotteries, and would NEVER use a Yandex free email account to contact someone. That, and their World headquarters is in Redmond, Washington.) Come on, Windows XP logo? Microsoft hasn't used that in YEARS!!! These guys at least get an "A" for effort, but back to the drawing board there, scammers....

Benefit
alistair@numericable.fr
Life insurance benefit, please see the attached details and get back to me for further discussion and processing.
J.Jacob
Email came with an attached PDF which read as follows:
Attention ,
I am Mr. Justin Jacob; an Accountant/Auditor in a foreign life insurance firm based in berlin Germany. I got your "contact details" from a web information service system. I’m aware that this letter has come to you as a surprise as we haven't met before or handled any business deals in the past.
I am contacting you in reference to a deceased policyholder; the late Mr. Kobus, an expatriate customer, who passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He has been our customer for over eighteen years. His life insurance death benefit is (US$5. 5 million). Since his death, no one so far has come forward to claim the funds. We have searched for his beneficiary and all efforts made were unsuccessful.
However, our company’s rules stipulate that death benefits that stay unclaimed until the end of the approved dormancy period; the proceeds would be transferred into the insurer bank account as an abandoned fund. I don't want the proceeds to go into the insurer bank account as an abandoned fund.
Therefore, I would like to ask for your consent to work jointly with you and help you to claim the proceeds since you are from the same country with the deceased I will project you as a relative and beneficiary to his policy and the claim would be approved to you successfully with my help. Upon approval of the claim, my lawyer will prepare all the legal papers needed for the release of the funds to you.
I have done the groundwork and I assure you that the process would be safe. On receipt of the funds, it will be shared between us. Contact me via my private email and I'll get back to you promptly.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Justin Jacob.

This is a scan to get you to turn over your financial information. If you followed the advice of this letter, the scammers would clean out your account with "Fees" and "Hangups" in the life insurance claim.

Investment Proposal From Miss Emmanuella Kouassi
it is my pleasure to write you after consideration, since I cannot be able to see you face to face, at first, please I need your help.
I am Miss. Emmanuella Kouassi the only daughter of late Mr. Boris Guillaume Kouassi, from Cote d’Ivoire. My father deposited the sum of ($3,800,000.00) in a bank here in Cote d’Ivoire before his death, he used my name as his next of kin and the inheritor to the money after his death, and he left a will with the bank that restrained me from accessing the money here unless transferred overseas for investment purpose.
I am now seeking for your assistance to help me transfer this money out from my country Cote d'Ivoire to your account abroad so that we can invest it in any meaningful and lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life.
I am willing to offer you 20% of the total fund if only you can help me out of my present predicament. Please reply back so that I will give you more details for us to transfer this money.
Thank you as I wait for your reply.
Miss Emmanuella kouassi.
