Often I would receive emails from who ever it is saying that I won something. Some would say that they need a partner and even used some banks that are know locally. I knew these email forwarding are scam and their modus operandi is to ask a small amount to you, usually $200 for processing fees or money handling. They use legitimate company’s name as if they were affiliated with these companies. More than once that I replied to their email saying I knew it was a scam or I just thank them and says, I have more than thrice the money they are offering.lol. not true of course.
Anyway, here are some examples of these kind of emails:

What prompted me to write about this is the recent email I received coming from a certain Mrs Rose Van Dyke with an email address of mrsrosevandyke@gmail.com with a subject of: Please do not Pay them Yet, I am expecting mine This Weekend.
Hello,
My name is Mrs. Rose Van Dyke. , I am 35 years of age, and I am from Switzerland I receive an email from the lottery company that you are one of the lottery winners that won the same lottery with me. I will like to know if you where asked to pay any fee for the cost of delivering your winnings to you if yes how much did you pay to them, because I have already made my payment and they said I should be expecting my winnings by next week through.
I got your information’s from the lottery company in London that you where also expecting your winnings. Do not send any of your information’s to them until I have received mine from them before the end of this week, and to also confirm that the package is real. Actually I have made all the necessary payments and they informed me that the prize winnings will get to my account this weekend.
Thanks for your help and God bless. I will keep you posted once I hear from them
This is my email address:
mrsrosevandyke@gmail.com
+41445862751
Mrs. Rose Van Dyke
Alarming eh? If I did not know any better, I would have thought this email was for real. Imagine there is a second party testimony about this winnings. I am waiting, but I think this certain Mrs Rose would email me again sometime next week and will talk about how easy it was and I just have to pay..
Economy is really in crises, just look how desperate this scammers are.. scamming to the highest level!

July 18, 2009 at 1:15 amahahaha pareho tayo ng response- got lots of money… have u received that one that impersonates imelda marcos? widow daw sya ni ferdinand marcos and went on with a blab about our former president with plenty of loose facts of course. pinoy pa ang napadalhan nya ng scam nya lol. there was one time naku nag reply sya sa akin sabi nya kung ayaw ko raw tumulong, hwag nalang daw at pina-hurt pa ang dating nya. sabi ko may argumentum ad miscericodiam ka pa dyan! i just can't get it – they actually pretend and keep on pretending that the majority of the population do not know what they're up to? i mean there are of course those who will actually believe their story but assuming and acting like the rest of us are clueless just escapes me completely. i like to think these people will make good specimens in the clinical psychology labs. or just an everday, nothing new topic on third world economy research.
