Advance Fee Fraud turned on it’s head by Mother London
January 4, 2010 – 11:20 amWe have all heard about the Advance Fee Fraud scam emails that have been going around for the past 10 years. This scam has been around for generations…I remember getting a fax version of it over 15 years ago!
The Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax, email, or letter often concerning Nigeria or another West African nation containing either a money laundering or other illegal proposal. Common variations on the Scam include:
- a “bequest” left you in a will
- “spoof banks” where there is supposedly money in your name already on deposit
- fake lottery winnings
If you have an active email address it is probably safe to say that you have received one of these over the past few years.
Well, Mother have turned this scam on it’s head and done it for real! Seriously! Check the video out:
