I got this letter today from some clown claiming to be "Financial Investigations Pty LTD", claiming I have $10,000 in 'missplaced funds' floating around in some bank acount, and for $999 they will tell me where it is and how to collect it. My old man is in the finance game, he warned me there are some clowns around trying schemes like this. You can tell by the language in this letter that it is a fucking load of shit.
I want to ring them up and pretending I'm interested, but cautious, and make them jump through hoops and do all kinds of random shit for a laugh. Any ideas?
Financian Investigations LOL
Thats awesome, I reckon definitley mess with their heads. Ask them to do stuff that is easy to do but time consuming. Ask them that you would like to talk to the financial controller and stuff like that. Ask for a copy of their last annual ASIC submission and stuff. They would prob put something together because you look like you are close to being sucked in.
He's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up.

theres a classic example of someone doing that to nigerian scammers. Getting them to pose for photos with signs saying insinuating theyre child molesters, all kinds of funny shit. its definitely worth searching around for if you have time.
sneaky flow like cash flow

are we really all that fucking stupid?
I have emails sent saying along the lines:
"My parents have died and have left $50,000,000, but in order to retrieve that money I need you to act as my next of kin to use your bank account to transfer the funds and I will give you 15% for your help....blah fucken blah."
Then in my actual letter box I got this 7 page document with a 5c coin stuck on the top of it and then some bullshit scam that if I make x amount of copies of this same letter I will have $100,000 within a month. Pfffffff sure like a letter is going to magically have people send a total stranger money!

Hello,
How do you do?
My name is John Edwards, Finance Director with the BHF Senior Management Team,
British Heart Foundation.
I just Viewed your Brief profile online at the US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, and i am
willing to offer you a good Part- Time paying job in which you could earn a
lot.
This job would be based on contract and commission terms, it is a part-time job
and it would involve quite a handful of trust and honesty. If you would be
interested in including a good-paying, part time job to your daily list of
activities and earning up to $4000.
I just took time to make this explanatory enough so you could understand what
the job entails, before I go further I thought I'd inform you of both who you
would be working for and what you would be doing.
As I have previously already informed you, my name is John Edwards, 42 years of
age, 4 kids, all boys and the love of my life, my Wife, Tracy.
I am a somewhat multitalented man and I do quite a lot of traveling and get to
meet quite a lot of people who need the services I render especially with the
British Heart Foundation, A UK registered charity based in London which I joined
in January 2000.
The aim of the British Heart Foundation is to play a leading role in the fight
against disease of the heart and circulation so that it is no longer a major
cause of disability and premature death.
Our Activities
The BHF is the largest independent funder of heart research in the UK. We play
an important role in funding education, reaching the public and health
professionals And we provide life-saving cardiac equipment and support for
rehabilitation and patient care.
Heart Disease - the facts...
Heart and circulatory disease is the UK 's biggest killer. One in five men and
one in six women die from it.
Every 2 minutes someone in the UK has a heart attack.
Over 670,000 people in the UK have definite heart failure.
4,600 babies are born with heart defects each year. Around half will need
treatment or surgery.
You can read more online at the BHF www.bhf.org.uk
Presently, the foundation, BHF was granted funds and donations to head a charity
support project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding the fight
against heart disease and also supporting the treatment of many childhood Heart
Illnesses.
However, Our Donated Funds were by our American counterparts and they mostly
come in US based Money Orders, Travelers Checks and sometimes Cashiers Checks.
Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been our
best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would
cost our time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with
as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.
So presently, having read your resume and 'assuming' you would be able to deal
with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment
representative / Receptionist / Bookkeeper back in the states, this way I could
issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily,
withdraw Ten Percent (10%) of the total amount on these money orders as your
commission for the great service you would be rendering and then send the rest
back to me through Western Union Money transfer.
You would have to keep Detailed Transactions in a Spreadsheet so the process
would be recorded just for verification purposes.
Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you
could be making good money working with us in a short period of time.
I would be glad if you accept my proposal as I intend to commence with you as
soon as you are ready.
If you are interested, please email me back so we could make concluding
arrangements..
Thank You and God Bless.
John Edwards
Finance Director,
British Heart Foundation.
