Any Chain Letter

I would hope most anyone on the internet has the capability to realise how stupid some people who create scams are. If we let them trap us, even a little, we are acting even stupider. There have for years been the "Sign this petition..." Scams that are completely fictitious. Those folks who create these are simply doing what is called a Phishing Scam. (as in Phishing for information) The reason the FTC can't stop these people is because we are signing up and standing in line to get our information stolen when we sign up. Every idiot that sends you one of these has already screwed you. You need to send them a smoking hot email with a copy of this report and tell them, "Listen, if you want all of your email, personal name, snail mail address, phone number, etc. stolen from you volunteering to be in line to get put on the report of all the telemarketing people, spammers, and other illegal and unsavory scam artists, go right ahead and bend over and smile, but I AM NOT GOING TO VOLUNTEER to take it in the shorts for these liars, so don't include me in a mass email to ANYONE or I will report you to the Federal Trade Commission ! ! !
They may be too naiive to understand but there won't be any worry about them when you block them from your email server. That way if they whine that you aren't acting like a friend anymore, you can let them know that THEY did this, not you.
Take Care,

Google Adwords Scams

There are some ads from a company that calls itself Blazing Keywords that "guarantees" that you can make hundreds of dollars a week posting ads on Google. They say it is a system. It is likened to a work from home job. The system is in two parts. The first part is the one where you sign up for a CD for about $1.97 , which I did.
The second part has a user agreement page they ask you to read. It occurred to me that many people don't read the page that tells you they are going to start charging you what they said was 68 dollars a month. I immediately went online and canceled the account as soon as I read this. So, you order one CD and they don't warn you, but when you go to the second CD order page for the second part of the system they ask you to read the User Agreement First. So, I did. It said they were going to start charging me 68 dollars plus fees to my account.
I immediately was upset and canceled everything as fast as their website would allow me bfore requesting the second CD. I was given an email reply within an hour of my original request. But, the next day they charged me $72 anyway.
I don't really need a system like that since I can read the instructions for posting ads on the Google Website for free. I went to my bank after seeing online that my account which was already pretty depleted was almost drained.
Below is a copy of the email that Blazing Keywords wrote back to me on that evening, assuring me that they would cancel any payments from my account. A few days later they had already drained the money from my bank account and left me almost broke. I went to my bank and filled out a statement of forgery/fraud so they will be confronted by my bank and asked to return the money. Blazing Keywords doesn't mention their name until later, when they thank you for signing up and start explaining what they are going to give you. I didn't even bother to read it all. I just want out and they are not acknowleging that they ever canceled the account. For all I know they might try to do it again and I will have to change my account number. The ad gives the impression that they are somehow teaching you shortcuts to advertising on Google that you couldn't find out yourself by reading the Google Adwords and Google Business Solutions. This is false, another scam.



Following is the copy of the email I got from the Blazing Keywords online program that I was charged for and that I reported in reference number Xxxxxxxxxxx that I emailed you about previously. I receieved an automated reply but would appreciate a real person calling me to explain why my account was charged when they said they canceled it. As is clearly stated, they canceled my account. Why was I then charged the next day? All I authorized payment for was a CD which I never recieved and at this point don't want anyway, since I can't don't want to be involved with this company who led me to believe they were connected with Google business programs which I WAS interested in. I will no longer click on any ads on google since they don't end up being part of the Google business team and are connected to automated server programs that tell you they are charging you for a two dollar CD and then start emptying your account. If at some point they make this right and return my money, I will print a retraction, but at this time, June 08, 2009, I haven't been reimbursed. Be careful as it seems Google doesn't monitor or try to regulate who they sell advertising to. You would assume that if it was an ad that was posted next to your browser search findings on Google's search engine, that Google would be reviewing their ads and answering complaints rather than Passing the Buck and trying to say, they aren't reponsible for ads written by others on their website.

New Version of the Same Scam

Does this guy really think we can't tell he asks for the same information and he is still lying about how his business works. Look at how he spelled United States and the word textile on the link for the phony homepage and then his email address has .comm in it. The sentence structure and spelling are all the information I need to be suspicious of this guy. Then he says, "Note: This Job is scams(?) free and legal as confirmed with (the?)FBI and otherlaw(?) enforcement agency(plural would be agencies)."

the email I received:

Another Hoax, same scam using different names.

This is pretty either sad or funny, I don't know how to feel. Someone else has changed the names for this hoax and thinks if they send it from a supposed different person that they can get everyone to buy the same scheme. Once again, they ask you to put the checks in your bank account and before they are found to be forgeries they hope you are stupid enough to believe they are sending you checks they could just deposit in their own account and want you to send them your actual money from your checking account. I already wrote them and told them they needed to find NEW MATERIAL. If you received this, DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO THIS HOAX SCAM ARTIST, THIS IS A LIE. Okay? Thanks,
Arizona Mildman

ANOTHER SCAM :AllProductCompany

Oh, My God! Wouldn't it be nice if life was this easy? I can't imagine anyone who would be stupid enough to offer to give their money away like this but I wish it were true.

The last time I was curious so I went sent them a reply as if I was interested. They sent me two counterfeit Walmart MoneyGrams for a specific amount - $799.99, I heard it becomes a more complicated felony if you ask for one more penny than that. It also is one penny under what most banks will start immediately checking for fraud on. The police, the F.B.I, the F.T.C., and U.S. Postal service/ Document Fraud division all told me to shred it and don't bother to submit them to someone.

I suggest this: 1. Do Not Respond To The Email 2. NEVER Send Money to Anyone You don't know anthing about 3. Check all financial documents with the supposed maker of the note 4. Don't even bother, delete the email when you read the one that follows below

REMEMBER THIS: Walmart Headquarters in every town has an office. If you check with MOST ANY company, they do. If someone EVER sends you a Money Gram, Money Order, Company Check, etc. you can call the company or bank printed on the check/money order, even when they aren't a bank and give them the money order number or check number. They can tell you exactly how much that financial document was made out for. If the amount doesn't match, then, it is a counterfeit with forged signatures. A double felony. This happens so much now that they don't even investigate normally unless you have already spent your money sending it to the counterfeiter/scammer and been actually ripped off.
If not, they don't have time. Let me repeat that: They get so many of these that, they don't even bother to LOOK at the forged/counterfeit documents since they don't have time to track all of the paperwork.
Here is the email they are sending out this time:

Fox News Liars

Fox News has finally pissed me off for the last time. Do you know why the stock

market goes down? Because some Yay-hoo of a speculator who happens to have a

reputation decides to kill a certain stock by telling anyone who will listen to

him that it will go down. People get scared and sell their shares, and magically,

it goes down. Recently Fox News, the American Al Jazeera, is starting a rumor that

Obama's approval rating has dropped from 65 to 60 percent. Who participates in

these polls? I asked a room full of 30 people and NONE of them have ever

participated in a poll like that. None of them ever listen to Fox News or it's

affiliates. None of them participate in Fox News's polls at all or ever have. So,

who is participating in Fox News Polls? The same people who listen to Rush

Limbaugh and think he is fair and balanced? The same people who were conservative

in the first place. This is a swiftboat attack in a subtle nature. I don't know

anyone who cares about Polls, but I have a friend who when I spoke to her on the

phone, told me that Obama's approval rating has dropped to 55 percent. I pointed

out to her that what Fox News didn't tell her that is phenomenal for a president.

Bush's highest ratings were 48 percent when he sucked us into the Iraq war. He had

some of the highest approval ratings for a Republican president in decades at that

time. Of course it has only been a few decades that anyone took an approval poll.

Does anyone besides Fox News actually have an approval poll that anyone reads and

listens to except perhaps shut-ins that are left over from the days when a black

man had to walk in the gutter with his hand over his eyes so that he didn't look

at a white woman? I think it is time someone said something about these onesided

rumor mill fear agitators. Today I am giving Fox News an approval rating of minus

60 percent. They can take their whole fearmongering attitude and move away.

Recently the movie "Control Room" came out. The funny thing is when asked if they

were a propaganda force, they replied, "No, we are fair and balanced." Who does

that sound like. If they were fair and balanced they wouldn't have to announce it.

Just like Fox News, the Al Jazeera of America.

Barrack Obama is a Muslim

Here we are in the twenty first century and the Republican dirty tricks people whom Ross Perot spoke of in the debate between Bill Clinton, Robert Dole, and himself are alive and well still trying even after the election to say the same crap they did during the election. These things were disproved on national media. Do they believe that if they keep saying it that it will become true? Does a preponderence of the same lie constitute the truth? This one in particular really grates on me. In the same way that we can sue a tabloid for slander now, I think we should be able to sue slander in political rhetoric. That would end swiftboat liars altogether. Here is my favorite example: The liars who wrote this are saying: "Barrack Obama went to school in a Muslim School in Indonesia. The MSNBC story can be seen HERE. I am just tired of the constant lying. I hear that old hogwash about "Democrats started it" and "Don't you think they lie too?". Answer being, yes on some issues about personal lives that aren't a news media member's business. Not about each other. Let me explain this to you in simple terms. Show me what lies were said about John McCain. I couldn't find any. I looked on the fact checker and followed the fact checker online and never saw Obama make a reference to McCaine that wasn't correct. Even on the ones McCain denied. He said John McCain sang Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, McCain said he needed education about economics. Then he tried to say he understood economics. His experience was, as he put it, since he was in office since the Reagan administration. Considering George H.W. Bush called Reaganomics "Voodoo Economics" I wouldn't consider that something to brag about.
I really need to continue about this continual horsecrap! My only answer is that we know that the school in Indonesia where Barrack Obama went to school said that was ill informed and preposterous. They wanted to know how they got an enraging accusation like that as they welcomed many religions, including Catholics and Jews. Who were the Americans to call them a Muslim school when they were nothing more than a public school? Ask John McCain. When the crazy lady accused Obama of being a muslim from somewhere else, McCain finally had an attack of conscience and took the microphone away from her, he corrected the statements his campaign managers had paid her to lie about on camera. She was another plant like Joe the Fake Plumber who was related to the Keatings, of the Keating 5 scandal that John McCain was involved in in the sixties and seventies.

The "Dr. Henry Martins" Phish

Hi Everyone,
ARIZONA MILDMAN here, I just think someone has to start doing more of this. When you receive an email that starts out asking you to forgive the fact that he doesn't know you, you have never met, etc. and asks you to allow them to write you, you are signing a contract if you write back. This guy says,"I got your contact through network online...". What? What is that? Have I heard of that? NO. Do I belong to that? NO. Do I think this guy wants information that he already should have according to what he says? YES
Why would someone who just emailed you legally instead of running a hacking program that mass-spammed everyone on a server ask for your email address?
Please check here and on Google and Snopes.com when you receive an email that sounds too good to be true, because it usually is. When you write back he can say that you "requested" his correspondence. Don't do it. Resist the urge to sign up for more spam and junk mail.
Take Care Folks,
azmildman
