Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 There's a guy from Dundee who wrote a book about how he started replying to these emails and trying the people up in knots. It's pretty funny read Link to post Share on other sites

I have occasionally recieved these spam emails they of course get binned straight away. I wonder how many people are stupid enough to believe these emails? Based on the stories I read in the online versions of NZ's newspapers, at least two people a year believe. The funny, or should that be sad, thing about the reports is that it's usually a well respected, and well thought of person who gets caught out, often either scamming or borrowing money from friends to pay the bank charges.

Chriselle 158 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Does anyone know how exactly these things work? Just curious of course.. Actually, I have a couple investments paying out so I need to roll those funds into something else. I guess one of these would be a poor choice... Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm starting a Furniture Fund, if you want to pay into that Chriselle. PM me for details! Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Does anyone know how exactly these things work? Just curious of course.. There are a couple of ways these work. Main way is to promise lots of money for some inane reason, BUT, you have to pay bank fees, lawyers fees etc before you get it. I've read of people being bleed dry by these guys, borrowing or stealing to pay the fees, with the payday always just one more fee away. Another scam is to get your bank account and use it to launder money, with you getting a percentage. Money comes in and you then send it by Western Union off to some where else. Great way to see the inside of a prision cell. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Furniture Fund? You related to Bernie Madoff by chance?? Funds are over rated and the returns are usually pitiful and wrought with hidden fees.......so, no thanks. I do do loans though at very respectable interest rates. And I dare ya to miss a payment..

Funds are over rated and the returns are usually pitiful and wrought with hidden fees.......so, no thanks. I do do loans though at very respectable interest rates. And I dare ya to miss a payment.. It's a simple fund, also called dumbstick's bank account. When there's enough money in there, I want to buy that lovely black walnut dining table I saw. And other furniture.

(only a moment though)... I would love to invest in a piece of Sam Maloof furniture. Those chairs are "solid" investments especially now since he has passed on. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'd say you should just go ahead and buy a huge villa -- make that two huge villas, one in Niseko and one in Hakuba -- so you can invite all your SnowJapan pals to stay free next season. Maybe buy a microbrew outfit also. No doubt the cash will turn up in time to pay it all off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
