World of Warcraft - Account Investigation‏ *SCAM*

Here is a new scam mail claiming you have been caught using hacks/cheats in World of Warcraft.  Clicking on the link in the mail takes you to www.worldsofwarcrafts.com. This domain is pretty tricky and Blizzard really should have bought this one since it is so close . The actual owner is Wang ShanShi from Guandong, China. Wang is waiting for you to "login" so he can then login to your real account and empty it, then use it to spam other players in game or sell your character. Be warned and do not fall for this scam. Happy raiding!

Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:01:35 +0800
Return-Path: drizoon369@yahoo.com

Please refer to the start of this mail:

Your account is being risk because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, Please visit the account verification platform to comfirm it at:


The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

ROBERTS BARTON ESQ Outstanding Payment‏ *SCAM*

Dear Partner,

Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency and importance of the information. This project is based on trust, confidentiality and sincerity of purpose in order to have an acceptable meeting of the minds. I am fifty two (52) years old established lawyer. My name is Roberts Barton Esq. a legal personal attorney to an expatriate and a consultant with a French oil company, NOCOZOIL (Now deceased) He died in the Tsunami disaster on 26th December 2004 while on vacation in Thailand.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/26/newsid_4631000/4631713.stm

Six years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the Spanish government worth US$16.5 million dollars. A part payment of USD8 million dollars was paid to my client, while the balance of USD8.5 million Dollars was still unpaid before my client died in the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. However, all my efforts to locate the possible next of kin proved abortive until his sudden demise, He was not married and was 44years old.

NOW THE CRUX OF THIS E-LETTER is that the government of Spain is fully paying all foreign contractors who have successfully executed their contracts and my client is among those that Benefited in this first quarter payment schedule, which has already been deposited in his bank. As his personal attorney/Adviser, his bank has officially notified and instructed me to forward particulars of my client's next of kin within the next 14 official working days so that he/she can be paid the outstanding USD8.5 Million dollars otherwise his payment will be diverted to the government coffers account as unclaimed bill.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives, I decided to contact you for a deal so that we can work together as a team to remit the money to your account as my client next of kin since I do not want to seat and watch my client hard earned entitlement to go astray, it will be easy for us to achieve because you are of the same name and country like him. Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone apprehensive but I would like to assure you that I am proposing this project to you with the best of intensions. As a lawyer, I have the power to secure all the necessary legal documents that will be used for this claim.

All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us seal this deal through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a Legitimate banking arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Upon successful conclusion of this project; you will be compensated with 40% of the total fund, while 60% will be for me.

If you are interested to work with me in this deal, kindly reply strictly to my personal Email: barrrobertsbarton@hotmail.es with your personal Telephone /fax number for effective communication and oral clarification on how to proceed next.

Sincerely yours,
Roberts Barton Esq.

MRS. CHEN *Follow up SCAM*

Attention Friend,
Thank you for giving me your time, it is of great importance for you to take care and understand every word which I have written down below; please be patient and read the explanation in my email. I am Mrs. Changchang CHEN a staff of lloyds Group Plc. here in Hong Kong attached in Private Banking Services, I am contacting you concerning a customer and investment placed under our banks management; as a matter of fact it was 3 years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and also to kindly respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this email. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication; I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.


In 2007, the subject matter; Ref: FI/TSB/958/042/0500 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 14.37 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed, and however I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and 200 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit with interest included, stood at this point at over 15.2 million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.


In mid 2008, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm in Europe. I informed him that our bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in Europe and had the funds available in mainland Europe, I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with his instructions, the money was deposited; he told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around April 25th 2008. In June last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us of the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit, and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit.


I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as the finance firm is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The finance firm has no single idea of what's the history or nature of the deposit, they are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward, and this is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the family of the deceased; they have investigated for months and have found no family but however the investigation has officially come to an end.


I made futile efforts to locate him, I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of our bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, that he was apparently dead, a person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France; we were soon enough able to gather more information and the cause of death was confirmed, but in this case; he died Intestate without leaving any next of kin to claim his funds.


My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position whereby an instruction is given to the finance firm to officially release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation/associate, and all etiquette shall be done in accordance with the rule of law, I certainly can guarantee you that. By the common law, the power of bequeathing is coeval with the first rudiments of the law, and this power has been extended to all a man's Personal and Real estate (Personality & Realty). There is no ruling which prevents an inheritance from being so exhausted by legacies as to render it unworthy of the heir's acceptance; basically all persons of sound mind are competent to bequeath and devise real and personal estate, excepting infants, with all this I would say we have the clear advantage to carry out a smooth and perfect operation whereby the paper work shall be coordinated in such a way that your status as a sole beneficiary is confirmed. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half and no more; that is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you; afterwards we share the proceeds 50/50.


I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit, but on the other hand, you as a indifferent foreigner would easily pass as the beneficiary with the rights to claim, I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you in a few days. I will simply inform our bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer, I will then officially communicate with the finance company and instruct them to release the deposit to you; with these two things: all is done.. The alternative would be for us to have the firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder, this way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions, I am aware of the consequences of this proposal and I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask also, that you do not be vindictive or destructive, if my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you; please not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal.


You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector, I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by and I hope you understand, because for once I found myself in total control and face to face with my destiny. These chances won't pass me by, I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me please let me know, and hence move on with my life, but do not destroy me; I am a family woman and this is an occasion to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank; I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune will bless you and plant you into the center of relevance in my life, let’s share the blessing.


If you find yourself interested to work with me, please contact me specifically through this email account (mrschen121@hotmail.com) if you give me positive signals. Please, again, note I am a family woman; I happily married with kids, I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences might be, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold, this is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients; do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord I shall have the pleasure of meeting you,
after this task has been completed plan a meeting.
I await your response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Chang CHEN

Approved Payment Notification {KTT-WBO / NatWest / *SCAM* with follow up!

Here is a new scam claiming you will receive $15.5 million dollars. I went ahead and replied back asking if they can just send this to my Paypal. I claimed to be Dr. Abraham Washington III (completely made up name) and a short time later I received a personalized mail to this name. This new mail does reply to inform me that my funds can not be sent to Paypal, but they can give me an ATM card or personally deliver the box of money. They even want to know what the closest airport is to my location. Here is what the reply mail looks like.
They even sent an ID of somebody claiming to be "Mark Catton" I am sure this is either a made up ID or stolen ID. Here is what the ID looks like ( I have blocked the face out as this guy is a victim too).

RIFT Account Investigation‏ *SCAM*

Oh boy I just got my first Rift phishing attempt, I feel like it is Christmas! It does very much appear related to the World of Warcraft phishers that love to flood my inbox day and night. This mail claims they have caught your Rift character up for sale and looks pretty official right?

All we have to do is click on the link and verify we own the account, sounds simple enough. Clicking on this link opens a page shown here.
If you notice the address bar starts off with http://www.riftgome.com/ not riftgame.com. This seems pretty fishy to me lets make sure Trion Worlds actually owns this. Uh oh this site is owned by "songyu" from Liaoning, China! This is his brand new phishing flagship as it was just created on March 1 of 2011. I sincerely hope some Rift players see this before they lose their in game assets and characters to these scammers. Happy leveling!
