    Good day-

    My name is John Law. I have just been a victim of a malaysian scam.

    The deal was for liquid mercury and i have send them an advance payment via western union for USD 2700 and insurance after for USD 1300 so in total they took USD 4000 from me and i have never seen the goods and they keep on wanting more and more money.

    I have all the fake papers they have made and the person name that i send the money to via western union, she also picked it up.

    It is a nigerian scam and he had sent me fake id and calls himself mister Yung, as a chinese guy from the fake ID but when i checked his whatsapp picture he was a nigerian guy and he now says to me if i want my money i need to get it he does not want to give me the money back. I saved his whatsapp picture also. Also i have traced the company name that he works under and that name is registered in malaysia.

    THE SCAMMER COMPANY NAME IS " ELIDA ENTERPRISE"

    AND WORKS WITH FAKE FREIGHT COMPANY http://fedglobalshippers.com/

    And the person that i send the money to by western union is:

    Name ................Susiati Binti Tahir
    city........................Kuala Lumpur
    Country.....................Malaysia
    Zip code...............56100


    They also work with a fake shipping company and had send me fake tracking numbers to track on their fake website.

    Please help me how I can get my money back. who do i need to contact??


    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    Your money is gone. You cannot get it back.

    Western Union did exactly what you asked them to do. They are not responsible for your poor judgement.

    The scammers are using a Malaysian address but the could be anywhere. To get your money back you have to find them and get them arrested and convicted. That will cost you more than the $4000 you've already lost.

    Posting your email address here was not wise. Scammers read here. You will get more scam email. I have asked the board administrator to remove it for you, but she doesn't work 24/7.

    So what are you going to do, wave a magic wand and make all his lost/stolen suddenly reappear magically? Or try and swindle more money out if him?

    We're all waiting for an answer, "Benson"!

    I'm sorry but you come off as just another scamming thief, possibly along the same kind as those who send their scams to everyone's inbox! Steve's money is gone  the lying thieves that received it through Western Union have it all. And everyone knows that wiring money through Western Union (especially to strangers/thieves) is not only untraceable but can never be recovered!

    Nice try, idiot! But you get a failing grade!

    (ATTENTION: )

    This is to inform you that I came to Benin Republic yesterday from New York, after series of meetings with US President Barack Obama, World Bank President Robert B. Zoellick and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon due to numerous complaints from the FBI and other security agencies from Asia, Europe, Oceania,
    Antarctica, South America and the United States of America respectively, against the Benin Government over the rate of scam/fraudulent activities going on in her country.

    I have met with the Benin newly installed President of Federal Republic of Benin Dr Yayi Bonii who claimed ignorant of the evil perpetrated in his country but promised to make sure that all fund beneficiaries/contractors receive their funds in their accounts within next 48hrs. Right now, as directed in the meeting, we have approved a compensation/part-payment of $2.5M to all affected beneficiaries which you are among. Accordingly,

    we have waived away all your clearance fees and authorized the Government of Benin Republic to release this approved fund to you without any delay today. The only fee you will pay to confirm your fund in your possession is your notarization fee to the UN is sum of $45 only.

    So be advice to contact me immediately you get this email now because everything has been done ok. And for your information once again note: that this is not one of those Nigerian/Benin African scams that all they are after is to rip you off your money and at the end you will not receive your funds, but note that this is no scam and is directly from our President Barack Obama.

    Once you send the money, try to notify me with the MTCN for easy pick up and for immediate action on the release of your funds, for easier receive of your inherited funds without any further delay. Since you was unable to receive your payment of $10,000 MTCN through Western Union due to their management for full compensation payment of $2,500,000.00USD

    Test Question: Trust
    Answer: Believe
    Amount: $45 only

    I have a very limited time to stay in Benin Republic here so I would

    Dr. Morris Young is one of the scammers. He is using the promise of payment to get you to give him your banking information. He will spend all of your money. He will not give you any money.

    Do not contact him.

    Antarctica?  I missed that.  But you are right.  After forcing myself to actually read the whole spam it does say he met with someone from a security agency in Antarctica.  And he's so dumb he thinks we'll fall for it.  

    I did report the post, asking that the contact information be removed. Better safe than sorry.

    Poor English = RED FLAG
    U.N.'s Under Secretary is NOT a Dr. Morris Young (from Benin) - i.e., there is NO SUCH U.N. Under Secretary by that name and NEVER has been either = RED FLAG
    Dr. Young being from Benin = RED FLAG
    (Benin just so happens to be RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Nigeria, notorious for these advance fee fraud scams, rather interesting I'd say ... in an alarming way)
    Throughout this suspect (read that shill) post nothing but red flags, including bad spelling, english and outlandish and fraudulent claims (Pees. Obama being somehow involved in a supposed lottery or advance fee con job? And complaints supposedly coming from Antarctica too? Do you even know where Antarctica is and what type of climate Antarctica has as well as the population number?

    Laced throughout your pathetic post is nothing but MAJOR RED FLAGS, RED FLAGS that = to just another advance fee fraud shill attempting to make one of the many variations of the old Nigerian email scams appear legit!!!

    No pass for you, you get a great big fail throughout! NO ONE (especially here) is buying your crap! What a complete fool you truly must be!!!

    I'm relieved that President Obama can take time from his heavy schedule to help disburse surprise funds to random email account holders. Under his personal direction I am sure that numerous complains will be avoided and no one will paperate a ripe off.

    Where, as this international scandal grew, were the security agencies of the City of Atlantis and the underground Empire of Murania? Or for that matter, Belgium? Where was the outrage?!

    LOL I see you also clearly saw that shills tall tale too!

    These desperate idiots really are fools if they think we'd believe President Obama would have so much available time on his hands to engage in such activity ... especially with what happened in Boston this last week and every National and International event that is keeping him as busy as he's been this last year (not to mention the usual political activity he needs to concentrate on on top of that).

    These scammers desparate lies get more unbelievable with each lie they spin!

    All scammers.  Here are two names to avoid.  Daniel Cuffs and Adolfo Medeiros.  These guys claim they need the money because they cannot get at their accounts or that they need it for their foster children.  Once they are able to access their accounts, they will then give you back your money.  NOT.
