I received an E -Mail offer to buy a piano -Japan, inexpensive. But, when it turned out, I received a typical “Nigerian letter”. And after all, my money almost left creative scammers …
Kaspersky's laboratory explained which type of message and sharing the real examples of Nigerian letters Nigeria has turned their compatriots' pockets. I will tell you my story.
The family had a piano – a reliable German musical instrument with difficult fate. According to legend, a grandmother played on it and then the entire female line. For a long time, the thought did not rest: It was time to replace it. And this is lucky. Good people offer to buy a Japanese Yamaha.
Where is our ancient tool in Yamai? The old man endured. “Germany” was taken to them in all cities, from Kushka to Arkhangelsk. Deco cracked into one of these intersections. But “Samuel Weidik”, so we called the Germans, not accurately reading the manufacturer's engraving, he survived this. And I had to type the keys and display: “Thao Nguyen and the prairies of the circle-oh-oh circle.” After that, cursing “the old coffin”, a daughter fought with the sketches of ink. But how much should he pull the strap?
I joined a letter with the owner of Yamaha. Even his illiteracy is not ashamed. “Do you need a piano?” One condition – you must immediately transfer a quarter of the price to your account. Only after that, the suspicion of crept when they were trying to deceive me. But to be so sophisticated?
I asked the experts of the Kaspersky laboratory, the scammers could accurately calculate the benefits of a potential victim and create a unique scenery? Still capable! Spam Nigeria Nigeria is the letters, its purpose is to care about a person with an attractive sentence, enter a letter and register. Such first messages are thought to have been on behalf of those who are influenced by Nigeria, so they have the name.
This does not mean the legend with “Pianina” is unique, but rarely happens. And the most common divorce is the message from a rich Burgher with an unstable disease. He had no heir, and he decided to give his money to the recipient. As a worthy person. Surprising people often punish this trick. Obviously, we have many worthy.
The style of the letter is preserved.
“I am Mrs. Judith Peters, a successful businesswoman participating in export, I have contacted your post through search to inform you about my unpleasant situation. I am a woman who is about to die here in a hospital bed in Los Angeles, California (USA), in the moment I am about to die. A US $ 50 million fund for you can supply 50% to the charity fund and take 50% for yourself.
Why do people come across such a clear deception? Of course, the point is not a huge amount of money. I want to help “for the happiness of someone's soul.” Therefore, they often explain their behavior of the victim. Therefore, they send 100-200 dollars to start the legal procedure “receive an inheritance”.
Often such letters are illiterate. And for a reason. This is left in the development of fraudsters who are the most trusted people who are not fluent in “your internet”. The rest will not answer.
They also wrote on behalf of the “victim of fraud.” They said that they themselves suffered and suggested unfortunate comrades to transfer to a noble group of hackers to punish those who stole your cryptocurrency. It doesn't matter that you have no cryptocurrency for a while. They will convince what has been. Bitcoin may be returned, but first submit hackers for food.
This is another tip – announcing the winning lottery. “The owner of the second largest detox in California! Please donate. Help humanity! ” And even the fact that the recipient did not live in Solar California, but in a Tuyet Vyatka, did not disturb anyone, including the recipient.
Some “Nigerian people” are not easy to recognize. These are suggestions to meet, often pouring into a letter from romantic, indistinguishable from the present. A man and a woman who gets acquainted online, communicates, and eventually one of them will come to others. But there is not enough money for a ticket or visa, there are many options.
Not only our women go through. Recently, the French woman divorced a rich husband because of “nonsense of Pitt”. The actor asked for money for treatment, because his account was frozen for experimenting with Angelina Jolie. Photos in the hospital bed are attached. How to not support? And thousands of euros are not known to anyone. It ended that the French woman saw in the news of a real delusion with a new girl and is currently being treated for depression.
The scenario of deception uses vivid events. For example, the presidential election in the United States. The attackers believe that the recipient was lucky to have in the list of people who could receive millions of people from the Donald Trump fund. The text of the letter has no poetry.
“I was a great joy when informing you that after winning the election, Donald Trump called to resume the Trump fund, which was closed many years ago. The distribution fund of $ 1.5 million for each of 50 lucky people. The fund is simply trying not to be scared when others are greedy, and only greedy when others are afraid of someone in the shade, because a long time ago someone planted a tree.
And some suggestions about the crooks completely with an eccentric. A secret society of Illuminati resolves the recipient. “Do you want to join a group of glorious people who are willing to share knowledge for your personal development? Do you want to become rich, famous and powerful? The great Illuminati empire.
The illuminated people and the Chilean Air Force Colonel have not been written, but I almost bought Yamaha. The approach can be found for you, so you must be alert. By the way, we decided to leave the German piano. Do not betray the old man “Samuel Weidik.”
