2-3 times a week on my personal or business e-mail, I am receiving requests for help to look after some money that the person has to give away, or some other bullcrap. Today I answered one that I would love to earn 10% commission to help finalize a sale.
They send you a phoney cashier's cheque that you deposit to your bank account, and then forward them via a cash transfer 90% of the money. Weeks later your bank debits your account when the phoney cheque bounces.
I had some cheques stopped by revenue Canada personnel a year ago. There has been lots of people ripped off.
Other scams include giving a stolen credit card number for a purchase and them asking you to send the freight via certified funds to their bullcrap freight company.

I love that stuff! Probably the same rson why I like posting!
I have no life! everything is boring!
Everything is funny in some way! well almost!
98% think one way, and I always choose the opposite!
That is funny- my wife, daufgter, family members will not let me discuss anything with them, because what ever they say, i take the opposite view. It doesn't really matter what it is, there are always opposite sides to every view!
I don't believe that the governments can control the warming of the planet or do anything about the warming with any expenditure under 11 trillion dollars per week.

I receive a scam about once a week through my work email. The best is the Nigerian prince scheme or variations to it. Claim to be the exiled son of some high ranking official that was assassinated and needs help to extract $$ from the old country. Its hilarious. I just can't believe that people still fall for that crap.

lol I once found the dumbest scammer. My friend and I replied to one of these emails one time and they wanted bank info and crap. So I told them all i had was paypal and to put some money into that as a good faith type thing. The dumbass put $1200 US in it. So I went to the RCMP and gave them the emails. They said there wasn't much that they could do and that I just got myself $1200 US! hahaha so I guess I found a legal way to scam scammers. lol!

You should have figured it out when the guy that met you behind the motel had an uncanny resemblance to someone posting on this forum.

I wonder what the RCMP policy is on this. Do they taze the guy running the scam or the guy stupid enough to fall for it?

They really should taze the one that is stupid enough to try and run a scam and and actually send real money to their "victims"! haha Man that guy was pissed. i should see if i still have emails from him and post them up here! haha said that he was gonna make my life a living hell and that me and my family will pay. haha then i was like "well just forward me another $1200 and I will get you a plane ticket". I never heard from him again. i think that he realized that even with his threats that i was still mocking his ass! lol!

To answer the question of the post....
No, I'm not receiving any e-mails from anyone with anything to give away.

I am receiving, however, dozens of e-mails per week from morons who are trying to steal money from me using false advertising and fraud.
What amazes me, is that it's not simpler to find this scum and shoot them between the eyes.
What with the government monitoring all the internet activities...retracing where these e-mails are coming from should be no problem...and the second they accept any money, it becomes a federal (in many countries) offense...to which mandatory jail time (or preferably execution) would be required.

In Niagra the goverment is to useless to do anything and many of these people access the internet in Cafes or spoof IP addresses which makes it near impossible to trace where the email came from or who actually sent it.

But supposedly Al Gore invented the internet.
Supposedly the US CONTROLS the internet, and every keystroke and IP created goes through some big database they have.
And SUPPOSEDLY there are WMDs in every country in the world...so the US could EASILY go after these scumbags...they just choose not to.
