> Following scams have been brought to our attention by WBC Members.
> 99% of the following crooks have YAHOO Free Email addresses.
>
> MONEY SCAMS
>
> West Africans from Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, etc are daily sending emails to
> WBC Members promising them a payout of 15-20 Million dollar left in an
> estate by some dead African. It is 100% FRAUD. They will lure you into
> paying phony fee of $ 4000-$5000 to some local accomplice lawyer; which
> they will eventually split with him and you will never hear from them.
> 99% of these crooks are operating with Free Email addresses of Yahoo.
> They change their names and Yahoo email address every minute and send
> out new money scam letters offering millions of dollars. Do not deal
> with them. This is a total scam. We are in touch with our local Congress
> representative and Yahoo Executive offices to block issuing them Free
> emails to these crooks originating from West Africa and with same IP
> address. These crooks make money and re-locate to other countries like
> U.K., France, Italy, China, Korea, Egypt, S. Africa. They bribe local
> people and use them as front men to send out various scam letters.
> Neither FBI nor the local Police can catch them, they disappear
> overnight and their local police is very corrupt. Best Solution; if you
> receive any such email; send them a copy of WBC Warnings at:
> http://www.wbc.com/wbc/beware.asp and Blacklist
> http://www.wbc.com/wbc/beware.asp link of WBC. They should get the
> message.
>
> PRODUCT REGISTRATION/TENDER PRE-QUALIFICATION FEES
>
> Under this scam you will receive Product Requirement Tenders from
> Senegal, Benin and all other West African countries,
> it could also come from any part of the world. Then you will receive
> good news that your Tender for the sample you sent has been approved.
> Then you would be required to pay of $ 5000 - $ 6000 for registration
> and pre-qualification. Several WBC Member's Sample were approved. ALL
> FRAUD. No such Tender exists. It was just a lure to get you excited to
> make you advance the qualifying fee. Once you send the money; you will
> never hear from them. Remember they were all operating with Yahoo Free
> Email addresses. After the fist scam is successful. They will get a new
> Yahoo Email address and change their username. Do not participate in
> such Tenders. DO not send any Free Samples.
>
> COUNTERFEIT BANK DRAFTS.
>
> Sessalie Johnson one of our Member received an order to sell computers
> worth $ 40,000 to a company based in Korea under the name SUNTEX. SUNTEX
> joined WBC on a Free 30 day Trial as: SUNTEX -
> http://www.wbc.com/Suntex/ <http://www.wbc.com/Suntex/> KANG MOK, KIM
> who could be a front man for some African; sent a Bank Draft in the
> amount of $ 70,000 to Sessaile Johnson with instructions to charge $
> 40,000 for the computers and the excessive balance on the bank draft to
> be deposited in cash in favor of Kang Mok Kim. Sessaile Johnson new in
> the International Trade; deposited the Bank draft in her account. Her
> account was credited. But after few days they put a hold on her entire
> account till the investigation was completed. She cannot even withdraw
> her funds. She has been receiving continuous email from KANG MOK KIM,
> that she will be physically harmed unless she sends them computers in 5
> days and deposit the excessive money of $ 30,000. ALL FRAUD ALL SCAM.
> The Bank draft was a counterfeit; printed in Korea by some accomplice
> printer. She was in tears when we talked to her, scared for her life;
> while her money is also blocked. Could you guess the email address of
> SUNTEX; Again the Free Email address of YAHOO. ([log in to unmask]).
> Our advice; Any one with Yahoo Free Email address; consider them
> Phonies. DO not do any business with such Yahoo subscribers. They are
> fly by night. Yahoo does not care. They are busy counting their traffic
> and new subscribers.
>
> STOLEN CREDIT CARDS. Again many crooks from different countries steals
> credit card numbers off the Internet and use them to place orders
> online. Always call the Credit card company; like Visa; Master Card,
> American Expres to confirm before shipping the goods.
>
> SELF-LIQUIDATING LOAN SCAM
>
> Michelle Haynie one of our member received email from Maralee Haldeman
> from Ohio, USA; joined WBC as: http://www.wbc.com/nsfinancialgroup/ Her
> scam is SELF-LIQUIDATING LOANS. Her program consists of some bank
> guarantee by a bank in UK and Cyprus up to 20 Million Dollars with an
> advance payment of $ 250,000. Tempting!! Right?? Sorry it is a SCAM
> also. When we suspended her account on WBC and notified her about her
> scams. She sent emails to Micehelle Haynie that her program is like
> buying a car or a house with a down payment.
>
> Our responsibility as WBC.com to our 250,000 plus members is to educate
> them and provide warnings before they get hurt. Any one with Yahoo Free
> Email address offering to deal in Thousands and Millions of dollars is a
> fly by night operator. SIMPLY STAY AWAY.
>
> There are companies in Africa and else where that operate and conduct
> business honestly with the international trading community. You need to
> be extra careful. If some one is offering you Million of Dollars for a
> small fee. 100% Scam. We have hundreds of people in the USA; who have
> been defrauded in the above scams and lost several thousand dollars and
> several have been threatened of physical harm.
>
> We have contacted our local Senator and representative to pass a
> law-forcing Yahoo to shut down their Free Email giveaways to such scam
> artists based on specific IP addresses of these crooks. Only if YAHOO
> can wise up and realize how big a problem their FREE Email addresses is
> creating for the International Business Community. Finally please write
> to your local political representative to pressurize Yahoo from issuing
> Free Email addresses to such crooks.
>
> Thank you.
