Please do inform us if you do see this happening on Minti again.

Good job everyone!

once a bloke said he was interested in purcasing a mobile and he sent me a cheque for $5000 even thought i was selling it for $50 but he said he made a mistake and put to many 0s in the cheque i thought it was all bull until i received the cheque the man said i was to send him $2000 back and keep the rest.then he emailed me before the check was celared and wanted me to wire him the money before the check clerared,thank good nes i did not have that kind of money in the bank cause i waited and at first the check celared and i took out $2000 for me to send to him but the next day i was owing $2500 in my account the cheque bouced there was no monmey in his account so if i had sent him the money i would be owing $2000 to the bank but i still had to pay $500 in fees which afcourse i refused to pay since the bank made the mistake to clear the funds early even thought the check bouced.

IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT IS

yeah i got thousands of this its all lies they end up asking u for money to release the funds,its horrible to see they r targating parents  havent we enough problems? why have faulse promises?

I have deleted this one also but their is another one out their from a lady claimimg her husband has died and she is also terminally ill with cancer and wants to use YOU to distribute her funds ,I also reported this but it does seem to me that a lot of them come from  yahoo.co.uk so watch out .Also is their a system out their that you can check if the email is legitimate or not .I know a lot of the internet providers have their own reporting system but what about an international one.

its fake i get them all the time just each time they are written differntly,, this one i think is the Nigeren scam . some ask for your bank details other emails tell you that you have inheirted something , some are from international lotto , i have even had a phone call to my mobile from the states telling me that i have won free leather bags but juts have to pay 10. dollars postage but in doing this they need my credit card number ,,, all fake i just kept her on the phone to waste her money and kept acting dumb and got her details and told her to call tomorrow as i didnt have my details on me at that time ,,,and  then i called the police to report it to the fraud investigation ,, they will try to get it out of you in anyway they can and most of them look so professional ,, even the ones from banks here ,, if you ever get anything from the bank or about your credit card just call you bank up never call the number on the email as its them not your bank ,,,

I have had similar e-mails and all you need to do is inform them that you have contacted the local police as well as the F.B.I. Scotland Yard, Interpol, R.C.M.P. and you will never hear from them again! Make sure that you do contact the local police with this information as this person is not looking for young women so much as he is after bank account information! DO NOT AID THIS PERSON IN ANY WAY HE IS A PREDITOR!

yes i received one as well this morning an deleted it......i did open it will that cause any problems?

i got one too, i would be richer than bill gates if all these lotto scams where true, ive been getting them for months. they had a show on ACA last week about all the people that had fallen for these scams.

Yep, I got one too. I think that this needs to be posted on the home page so that everyone is alerted to watch out for it.

Dodgy people. I think I've had every "prince of Kenyas" write email to me to move some money for them. All with a british email. Some people are just asking to be caught. But the funny thing is there are so many scams going on they don't. I got the Lotto million dollar thing email, I sent it to an agency to get it checked out and found another couple of hundred lotto scams going on. If they can't even address you by your name on the email and also contact you by phone thats clear starter to knowing whether or not they are dodge.

my ex sister in law got caught in something like that. She had put an add about saling her car for 10 000 and received a email from a guy from europe saying he would buy it put needed her to deposit his money in her account plus 5000 more than the purchase. Ended it up it was a fraud money was deposit in her account by a mail order receipt or something like that and bank came after her. She had to go bankrupt because she had to reimburs the whole amount, lost her job and lots more. Not funny at all.

l got one as well and deleted it straight away after l checked to see who the member was and they had been deleted so l new they got him.

Thanks for deleteing this #$%@

member has been deleted for spamming minti member base.

I also received this & sent it to Clay.  I don't think it's money laundering, I think it's a scam, like the nigerian spam I often receive!

Hopefully they remove him & ban him from this site!

And here I was feeling special LOL.....

Its money laundering.  They put money into your account then you pass it on to someone else, you get a cut but its not worth it.  Another lady in here did something similar and got all her bank accounts frozen and had to pay the money back.  To whom I dont know but she didnt get to keep it.  Looks like the feds are having fantastic xmas parties thanks to the russian mafia.

yes got one two  , ithought what the hell  is this  but i reported to clay as well , i couldn't log in hr ago as the minti site was off line  , but at least we are all wake to this spam

I was shocked when I got this from a minti member.  It's sad that people have the nerve to use this site for something like that!

Minti should report this to the police,internet fraud is taken seriously as they can reach so many. He's trace should still be available,FBI,RCMP,and you guys know your local authorities. Really! Doesn't that just piss you off!

And another one bites the dust. He's gone.

I got the same email... I did email Clay, hopefully we can get his butt outta here!!

REPORT HIM TO MINTI SYSTEM!!! AND SEND THIS OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN... EVEN POST IT HERE WITH THE MAIL THAT YOU GOT SO PEOPLE SEE THAT IT IS A SCAM!!!! THE MORE AGAINST HIM THE BETTER CHANCE IT'LL BE FOR US!!

And another one bites the dust
I just this second got mine!!!!

Hiya I got one too so I reported him obviously he is spamming us with it....I think this is in breach
Cheers
Angie
