CD Key scam. DON"T FALL FOR THIS KIDS.

This is just mean.

You add and subtract then when it doesn't work, because it never did, you send the weakly encrypted version of your CD key to a complete stranger that now has a working key.  YOUR'S!

It's trivial for them to do all the subtractions and additions in reverse just the same way you just did.

Don't fall for it.


From:  http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/warcraft35/

Free Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos/the Frozen Throne CD Key

This is a technique to create an unused Warcraft III CD key. The technique will work for both the Frozen Throne and Reign of Chaos. This technique would be good if you had two computers, and you wanted to play on Battle.net at the same time. The CD key you create will be free and unused. 

NOTE: Make sure the CD Key you use is from the actual Warcraft III CD case. This technique will not work if you use a fake CD key. Don’t e-mail me saying it didn’t work if you didn’t use an authentic CD key. 

Instructions 

1. Find an authentic Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or the Frozen Throne CD key. It should look something like this: XXXXXX – XXXX – XXXXXX – XXXX – XXXXXX. 
2. With the first set, add one to each number, but if it becomes a 10, make it a zero. 
3. On the second set, subtract one from each number. 
4. On the third set, leave it alone. 
5. On the fourth set, flip it backwards. If it was 1A2B, it would become B2A1. 
6. On the fifth set, leave it alone. 
7. Now, use your CD key, or give it to one of your friends. If the CD key doesn’t work, e-mail the CD key you created to (THIS GUY IS EVIL, DON"T MAIL HIM!!!) Flam3_Spr3ad3r@yahoo.com.(THIS GUY IS EVIL, DON"T MAIL HIM!!!) Make sure you do not send your original. You should never give anyone your original CD key. I will try to make your CD key work and e-mail you back the results.

Fwd: Inheritance Claim and my proposal

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!

People must be falling for these scams because they are still sending out E-mails like the one I just received.  For god sake don't ever give anyone like this any personal information, and most certainly not your bank account numbers or credit card numbers. 

Teacup from Churchofbsd.blogspot.com I think is right when he says the best way to filter these E-mails are by the URL's.  That you need to follow the URL and scan the web page it displays also...

Subject: Inheritance Claim and my proposal
To: john.sokol@gmail.com


I have discovered an Inheritance in one of the dormant accounts at our bank.

Full information on the Inheritance claim and my proposal is available at the link below


http://min.us/m9awXSMe3


With Warm Regards

---------------------------------------------------

That link leads to a free hosting service https://minus.com/  with the page below.

I am Mr. Adrian Muster, an asset management banker at Credit Suisse.  For 8 years, my colleague and i have in charge of scrutinizing and approving individual claim applications from the Database of unclaimed Swiss Bank Accounts and other Holocaust-Era Assets.  There has been a particular account which we have not been receiving any inquires about. The account and assets belonged to Charlotte Weisz. We were tasked by The Desk of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland to search for any surviving person to claim the assets left by Charlotte Weisz.  After many unsuccessful attempts to trace any surviving heir in Switzerland, we decided to trace her relatives over the Internet, to locate any surviving member of her family. But all our efforts have proved abortive, hence I contacted you. We would like you to stand in as a beneficiary and claim the assets and money that belongs to Charlotte Weisz before they are confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Swiss bank where these assets were lodged.  The figures released by the bank where the deceased had an account indicates that all assets and monies is 16,737,124.69 Switzerland Francs and with the current day foreign exchange rate is valued at USD $18.2 Million. The Desk of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland has issued us a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account and assets declared to the national treasury within the next 30 days. Since no surviving heirs have come to claim these assets for over 72 years, now I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of Charlotte Weisz, so that the assets and monies of this account valued at USD $18.2 Million can be paid to you then we can share the money 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.  I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and i also assure you that you will not have to spend 1 cent out of your pocket. I will foot all bills, including those for the attorney to represent you here.  Once you are interested in working with me, you should let me know. Whenever you are ready to proceed, I will require the following information to initiate the claim;   1. YOUR FULL NAME : ,  2. YOUR FULL CONTACT ADDRESS : ,  3. TEL/FAX NUMBER / MOBILE NUMBER :,  4. AGE :,  5. OCCUPATION : ,  6. SEX : ,                        Once again, i want to remind you that you will not have to spend 1 cent out of your pocket. I will foot all bills. With these details I will have to file an application to the bank declaring you as next-of-kin to Charlotte Weisz. To keep all communication strictly confidential, please send your reply to me at the following email:   ad-muster@live.com    With Warm Regards, Mr. Adrian Muster.

Yes, you can even the Google street view shows someone moving out of the house.

Just mail the check overseas, and wait for keys in the mail.

Augh, how f-ing stupid do they think I am.  And why wouldn't he do this to 100's of people and just pocket the checks?

A quick Google on the phone numbers show this to be another African scam.

I'll rent it to whoever puts down the deposit .Rent includes water and garbage. My company sent me overseas and will probably be between Africa, India and the UK for another year or so.

Dear Sir/Madam Attached to this email is my proposal, kindly read through

Hello
I am Mr. Alfred Mzanzi, a member of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), South Africa. ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in South Africa belonging to Non-South African indigenes, which have remained dormant since South African apartheid was resolved in 1994.

It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the South African Reserve Bank published a list of dormant accounts originally opened by non- South African citizens.

These accounts had been dormant since the end of apartheid (27 April 1994). Most belonged to apartheid victims. The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of additional dormant accounts - 14,000 in December 1999. The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts, securities accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. Numbered accounts are also included. Interest is paid on accounts that were interest bearing when established.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on accounts due to non-South African citizens. I discovered a dormant account of Walter Ackerman with a credit balance of US$ 45,000,000 (Forty Five Million United State dollars) plus accumulated interest. The beneficiary was murdered during the apartheid era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of heirs.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of South African government as provided by the law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no wills).

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked in a Very Reliable Bank here in South African, safe heaven for funds and we can share the funds and use in investment of our choice. Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a foreigner to HELP claim the funds.

All that is required is for you to provide me with your details for processing of the necessary legal and administrative claim documents for transfer of the funds in your name. Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. I will ensure all procedures to see that the fund is transferred to a secure, numbered account in your name here in South Africa, of which you will be capable of accessing the funds and transferring gradually to your country and other banks of our choice in the world. My share will be 75% and your share 25% percent of the total amount. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal has put funds in Escrow awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement. I find myself privileged to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for a lifetime success without risks. Due to security reasons, reply to my private emails: alfredmzanzi400@luckymail.com call +27 71 038 1688
The reason why I choose South Africa is that they have one of the best Internet Account Facilities, whereby you can access the account online and make transfers online to your account in your country.
This transaction is not a Child’s Play and should not be treated as such, if you are capable then reply, if not delete from your Inbox.
Best Regards,

Alfred Mzanzi
Member (ICEP)
