The NEW SCAM in town…

A mail would arrive stating that some lawyer was managing some Nigerian dictators assets and after his death, he was in a position to share 100+ million US$ etc etc – they had chosen you to share that wealth and all that was needed was some processing fees from you… Look it up on google.

The LASTEST SCAM are mails as below:

(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward to your CEO, as this is urgent, thank you.)

 

Dear CEO,

 

We are the department of registration service in China. We have something need to confirm with you. We formally received an application on November 9, 2010, one company which called “Kapex Trading Co., Ltd” is applying to register “games2win” as brand name and domain names as below :

 

games2win.asia
games2win.cn
games2win.com.hk
games2win.com.tw
games2win.hk
games2win.tw

 

After our initial checking, we found the brand name and these domain names being applied are as same as your company’s, so we need to get the confirmation from your company. If the aforesaid company is your business partner or your subsidiary company, please don’t reply us, we will approve the application automatically. If you have no any relationship with this company, please contact us within 5 workdays. If out of the deadline, we will approve the application submitted by “Kapex Trading Co., Ltd” unconditionally.

 

Best Regards,

** End of Mail**

These are the new generation of CHINESE SCAM- STERS – they write with the intent of scaring you and making you pay us some small moneys to buy or protect these URLS.

I typically write to them saying I reported them to INTERPOL, FBI, CID, Scotland Yard etc etc and they should vacate their offices etc since their IP has been captured by me…

Beware and good luck.
