Jean goes on to ask “Here is the one from the bank - In each email I replied to, I let them know I was trying to contact Scotland Yard and that I would not give out any bank account information or private numbers like an SSN. That did not seem to make a difference to them as they continued to send emails. I haven’t figured out why they need a passport photo scanned and sent to them. Can you explain that to me? Is it some way to try and steal my identity?”
To this, our reply was -
“Hi there, thanks for your emails
It would seem likely that a passport photo is required for the scammer to use for other illegal activity, be it a fake passport in your name or someone else’s or a driving licence, etc.
More than likely they have probably attempted to get a whole lot of other information from you in order to build up a profile with which they could potentially steal your identity with.
If you feel like you have given them anything that could compromise your identity, such as full name, address, social security number, date of birth, etc then I would recommend that you contact your bank, credit card company, etc and alert them to the fact that your identity may have been compromised.
It would also be prudent to contact a credit reference ageny to check your file -

Interesting how both the bank and the lawyer have free yahoo email accounts isn’t it? One would have thought that professionals would have had their own websites and email accounts based upon those domains.
What? They’re not professionals? Oh my! I forgot…. they’re scammers!!!
First off, I’d like to say thankyou to one of my readers, Jean Fuentes, for sending a few emails to me that they received.
Here is the first, from Peggy Morrison, who has featured here before. Last time, however, she was a Lady - a fact she seems to omit this time -

Same sort of scam as before, just different wording this time. This is unusual as the scammers tend to spam mailboxes around the world with the same rubbish - rewording is such an unneccessary chore for them!
Yeah it’s a weird title. I used it to refer to the fact that this scammer doesn’t seem to have a “return” key on his keyboard. This means it’s quite a challenge to read his efforts at parting me from my cash…
FROM: Mr.Chris Kolade. 33 MARINA,LAGOS.NIGERIA. Telephone: 234-802-5072565. Good Day, l am Mr.Chris Kolade, Civil Servant in the Ministry of Health. l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not met before either physically or through correspondence.

This Money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998 Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-1999) ,he deposited this Money in a Strong Room”VAULTS” with an open beneficiary in a security company pending when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad.He was planning this when he died late last year of Heart Attack. Just before my father died he called my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer/investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this great objective.I promise to give you 15% of the total funds transferred to your vital Bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%)has been set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction.

Thing is though, I don’t recall ever interacting with Google jobs in any way. So what is this all about then? My guess is it is another scheme for getting me to launder money via Western Union or similar and subsequently then get fleeced by a scammer.
Of course…. I may be wrong.
