The email title is “75% off today only – Military tactical led goes through steel door”

Then it repeats the title in very big letters in case we didn’t notice it.

It suggests that a new Military torch can shine light through a steel door.

If the door is open – then no problem.

But as to shining any kind of light through sheet steel – not possible with even the brightest light on the planet, let alone some handheld torch.

Laser light is different and that doesn’t shine through steel – it can if powerful enough melt steel but again that’s not a handheld device.

The email is ridiculous and is from bensanothergroup.info which is clearly a made-up name not belonging to a legitimate business. Scammers do sometimes get carried away by their own stupidity.

The Advance Fee scam, sometimes called the Nigerian 419 scam is quite simple – the scammer entices you with promises of a huge pot of money and tries to get you to pay various charges in the process of releasing the money to you. When you get tired of paying yet receiving nothing then the scammer moves on to the next victim and your money is long gone.

This latest such email is different in that it doesn’t claim the money is in an African country, but instead is being held by the American government.

The email claims to be from the Executive Vice President of Business Operations at ABC News. Their investigators have found that I have unclaimed funds to be value of $10.6 million held by the US government and that the government is doing everything it can to get the funds off me permanently.

So, I must act quickly or lose the money.

It’s difficult to believe that anyone would believe such a story. There’s no explanation of where the $10.6 million came from or how it is connected to me.

Surely anyone with an IQ higher than an that of a tortoise would recognize this as a scam?

But apparently some people will reply and genuinely believe they can have the $10.6 million.

Where do the scammers make money on this?

The email says to contact Mr. Brian Ross Chief Investigative Correspondent of ABC News and he will provide me with a lawyer who can get the money for me. Of course, I will have to pay for the lawyer and that’s where the scammer gets his money as the lawyer is fake of course.

The email address I have to reply to is brianross @abcnewsl.com

Now abcnews.com is the genuine domain name used by ABC News, but abcnewsl.com could be owned by anyone and in this case is owed by a scammer.

The email claims to be from WEMTAS, whatever that is, but in fact is from infom @koomkin.com

And asks for a “Quatation”.

Many scam emails deliberately use misspellings and poor grammar to ensure only the most gullible will reply.

The sender claims to be interested in our products although he clearly has no idea what we do or sell.

He wants a reliable supplier who can supply a long term customer ship.

Maybe that’s meant to say relationship but if he does want a ship – he’s looking in the wrong place.

The email address, company name and address are all fake and obviously so.

The company claims to be based in America but if they cannot find someone to write an intelligible email, they’ve have to be in a bad way.

What does the scammer want?

Presumably to find out if the email address is Live and if people do reply asking for further information then he will have gullible people hooked and ready to be scammed. It’s a sad statistic that even the most ridiculous and obviously fake such email will get some responses.

The message says “Congratulations from Apple”

Well, that’s nice except that the message is from [email protected] which looks like a made up address and should be a dating site but is clearly a scammer instead.

So, what’s it about?

An Amazing Offer Has Been Made

We must hear from you no later then

This is the greatest opportunity of your life

Summary

Weekly	Get 4,900
Hours	You choose what works best
Available Positions	One

So, that clears everything up – the offer is an unspecified something for which there appears to be no skill  or experience requirements, pay is 4,900 somethings per week and they need just one person to do this.

And finally it says “Wear anything you want and take as much time off as needed”.

So, I’ll take 100% time-off and still get paid the 4,900 thingies per week then?

Scams are often deliberately lacking in details but this one is ridiculously empty.

A very stupid scam.
