PERSONAL TRAINERS - EMAIL SCAM ALERT
« on: August 16, 2006, 09:03:05 AM »
 It appears to be a money laundring scam of some sort. The email states that a business man and his wife are coming here from West Africa and wants to hire a PT for his wife during their stay. He wants to pay in full plus extra money that needs to be forwarded to his travel coordinator in Ghana. It states a friend in America is paying and doesn't want to send their banking info out of the country. You will be asked to cash and wire the additional funds...

Here are 2 Samples:

Hello Sir,

I am Barrister Williams Nkurumah, Principal partner NGOM & NKURUMAH
CHAMBERS, a human right activist from Gambia, (West Africa).I will be coming
over to  Medford MA on holidays from the 30th of August 2006 for a month

Due to  the rate at which my wife gains weight,We will require the services of a
personal body fitness trainer while on holiday  for her to maintain her present
weight, my wife is 100% physically fit, has no medical condition or medication.

avaliable for one hour daily, though the hours could be flexible to suit you
despite the fact that my wife is a body shape freak.
your service will be needed from Monday to Saturday excluding Sundays through
out   stay,it is more like a total of 24 hours schedule.
 We would like you to please tell us if you will be avaliable and how your
schedule will be for the whole of our stay in the state,
Hence this is a sponsored vacation, we will like to pay
in advance of our visit so she will be assured of
 a personal Body fitness trainer during our stay because this is our first visit 
and my wife cannot do without it.

this services and give me a price quote,and  call me on my

Where's the scam if you don't give him any banking info.  If the money clears, where's the scam?  Do they want banking info?  Just say you don't want to sent your banking info out of the US and see if the $$$ is wired via Western Union, no banking info.  If they don't like this, it's a scam.  A vacation in Malden or Medford sounds fishy though.  I'd E him and demand the $$$ Western Union or no deal.

And about 10 inutes later the feds knock on your door, freeze you bank accounts, and totally f u your life. Ghana and Nigeria are on the fed watch list for all sorts of money scams and international bank fraud.

Run don't walk away.
and keep moving!

a scam i got ..... with pics

This is Lisa  Jean, a native of Durham, in North Carolina USA. Am a Fashion model, and am currently a Medicine and Neuro-Surgical Student at the University of London, College of Medicine, London, United Kingdom.
 
I was recently contracted by a US based Modeling Agency in Dublin, Republic of Ireland for a 1month fashion & fitness modeling show; and this show will be coming up by 1st August, 2006.
 
The point here is that I have added some little pounds of flesh to my weigh, and I need your services as a fitness expert to work on me on some parts of my body, most especially my thighs, shoulders, bottom, arm biceps, and stomach in order to tone-up my muscles and tissues. Also, I will like to undergo some fitness training program with you on one to one basic programs for a duration of 2weeks, so that I can be good and fit for this modeling show in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
 
I got your contact from a fitness model friend of mine based in New York, and she has asked me to contact you immediately. Please I will be coming to USA personally for this fitness program and body toning next month. The Event Manager, who is based in Dublin, Ireland has asked me to inquire on your charges for the 2weeks program for me, so that this payment will be made to you.
 
I count on your help, as am awaiting your soonest response.
THANK YOU
LISA JEAN
