Nigerian Spam

Nigerian 419 advance fee fraudsters who are operating from Amsterdam and Rotterdam have produced more copies of the websites of express transportation companies namely DHL and Lufthansa Cargo. The idea is to decoy victims into paying transportation as well as advance fees for second-hand motorbikes and cars that are never been delivered till now.

Today many people are well-known with the old style 419 scam - where an email claims to come from a person who is in need of transferring large amount of money out of the country and the scammers seem to have discovered a whole new way of making a quick buck. At present, all these cars are in Spain or in the other European country frequently, the owner claims, so could the buyer please pay transportation costs? They then will suggest the exploit of escrow services with slick websites that appear legit. Some fake escrows even warn you regarding the fraud employed in Internet usages, or link to the Internet Fraud Complaint Centre.

The DHL-shippers site was also created earlier this month by Angel Andonaire and then site Lufthansa-Worldwide-Cargo was also registered last month via Microsoft Office Live. Already sites such as Carbuyingtips.com declare to have shut down over 600 fake escrow sites.
