So this is 2012 ~ already!

So, wow...  It's a bit hard for me to think that this blog is entering into its fifth year.  I mean, it was only something that I started as a means to deal with chemotherapy-induced insomnia at the time I began to realize how scam-ridden the online markets could be while rummaging aimlessly in the wee small hours of some very long nights.

I guess if you're here you've probably realized that

It Ain't Easy...

(With a tip of a hat to the late Long John Baldry as I borrow the title...)

 What I have learned and read about scamming over the last four years has been a real education.  Not that I wasn't cynical enough after decades of working in community services and being an aware world citizen, but it has made me acutely sensitive to the idea that this planet is a buffet set out for the larcenous to

Variations on a theme...

At times the happy little campers at Kamp Scammer latch on to a particular name and beat it into the ground by devising as many contorted variations as their febrile wee brains deem possible.  (And then likely sell it off to another group to see what a hash they can make of it...)

If looking in one only one country or town, you'd  likely miss the most of them.  For me, they are a bit of a happy

Congratulations to Intrepid Renter who got married yesterday!!

Tidying up my desk...

I keep odd notes hither and yon on my desk as ideas strike to write about or at least include in a post.  Nothing very fascinatingly earthshaking ~ just..... stuff.  :)

A shout out to Luis who has been looking for a home in a far off land and apparently has found one of the mother lodes of scammers cuz he's submitted a fair handful over the last week or so.  Good stuff, Luis ~ thanks for your

Why don't you write?

I am told by folks that the way to a successful blog is to post! post! post!  And I suppose to some extent that is true cuz if you're constantly in people's faces they're gonna look sooner or later.

Honestly, I wouldn't know what to say an awful lot of the time.  I do write posts as the spirit moves me and I'll try to prod it on a bit more often ~ just don't get antsy about holding me to it

Giving credit where credit is NOT due...

While I was rummaging around some of the sites I read looking for some information tonight, I ran across this post (http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=18070) left earlier today.

I thought it was all very interesting and I don't think I'd heard of *that* variation before.  Now if I haven't heard of it, I'm sure a lot of other people haven't heard of it either so I think

I've got your number...

If you browse through the lists, especially the bios and Questionable Businesses, you've likely noticed that along with a lot of their phone numbers starting with 234 (the country phone code for Nigeria) that there are an awful lot of numbers starting with +4470.  I've been meaning for a while to write a bit about this number combo and tonight is as good a time as any.

This is one of the

Famous last words...

(http://www.nataliedee.com/)

I was reading through a series of correspondence posted in the Rental Scams section at Scamwarners (http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=15482) when I came upon a phrase that would cause *my* hackles to rise in suspicion.

"I'll be willing to send you a scanned copy of my Passport, Police Clearance and certificate of ownership of the apartment

Suspension of belief...

Anyone believing that they can find a place this glam for such picayune amount in Vancouver (or anywhere else for that matter) has a *much* better fantasy life than I ever will. Think ~ really think...  Do your homework on where you want to live and what the real costs are before you venture into scam-ridden 'free ad' sites.$400 / 1br - FULLY FURNISHED 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR RENT` (vancouver, BC

And the light >clicks< on...

This is a slightly different response to the ones I receive when I send out a request for information about an ad. Click on the link that they provide to send in the information and I'm willing to bet that you will give some happy camper far more of your personal information than you should share.  Identity theft is the issue here.

If you require your credit score, deal directly (in Canada

Faker Street Irregulars

Just as Sherlock had his Baker Street Irregulars to keep their eyes and ears open for information that could prove useful, Sheer-Luck Homes and Dr. What's Up have their Faker Street Irregulars.

A good amount of information I find and share has been made available though the auspices of anti-scam sites, persons blogging their scam experiences or leaving information on the 'net.  And there are

While rummaging around online today, I ran across this article which I think is worth sharing. (http://news.sympatico.cbc.ca/consumernews/spear_phishing_latest_ploy_to_steal_data/0b68b1d5)

Questionable businesses 2011

It's not just the scam mailers you need to look out for - it's not that hard to throw up a 'webpage' (esp. if people don't look at it too closely) and scammers really love the 'do-it-yourself' webpages.

It pays to really look ~ in the last year I have seen the fake sites escalate with scammers often 'hijacking' info and photos from a legitimate site and setting up mock sites that they direct

Happy New Year 2011!

Geeze ~ I never thought that this blog would last long enough to see it to it's 4th year but here we are.  And, yeah, the plans are to keep going.

It's not that this blog has gone viral ~ though there were some busy days ~ but in three years we've had over 100,000 hits.  Good.  Thank you to people who leave thank you notes cuz it really helps to know that some people made it through due to
