A private donation was made to you and your family contact (contact.donation00@gmail.com ) for more info.

That's the entire email. I call that lazy.

[JoeP]

Now this is more like it. A bit of effort.

ATTENTION SIR/MADAM.

Good day to you.

However, don't be surprised to receive this email from me hence i do not know you in Person, but my spirit directs me to solicit for your kind corporation to this deal hence i contacted you.

Subsequently, note that i got your email contacts during my search on the south African Journal Online record list file, and decided to ask for your corporation after going through your managerial and administrative ideologies which really got my attention, from all indications you are very sincere person. However, my Name is Dr. C.
Loewald, working currently with the South African Reserve Bank as Head Economic Research fund Payment System Department, am here to contact you, and also to ask, if I can do this deal with you.

However, I contact you to know if you can be trusted person to me, you can see what is going on now in our country South African, this CORONA VIRUS issue, is bringing our Economy down, and am in position to do a deal with you if you can be good to me, just to tell you, there is one Dormant account here, confirmed amount of fund worth R50 Million.
(Fifty Million Rand) which am in position to move the money to any account, but I think if I move it to my own account, I believe Board Executive Management will find out, so to avoid that, I like to do this deal with you, I only need your banking details , and your full names and address, copy of your ID/ Passport and your cell phone number for easy communication for this transaction record.

So please I don't want you to betray me, once I move the fund into any account of yours, because I really want to trust you on this deal, as you know this fund will help me and you on this difficult time, also on future, and about % I will like us to share the money 50%50 so please if you accept my offer get back to me with information needed to enable me proceed the transfer now, and I promise you, never be worried or think Otherwise, because am the Head Economic Research fund Payment System Department Director. Which I have the power to wipe the transaction out of the system once I done the transfer to any bank account provide by you, so this is risky free transaction.

I will wait to hear from you.
Please this is my privet Email: address: [...]

Dr. Christopher. Loewald,

from south African reserve bank, head economic research fund payment system department.

I am indeed a very sincere person, and my managerial and administrative ideologies are second to none.
I do like the sound of this risky free transaction.

Not a 419 email, but probably a scam of some sort.

I got a text early this morning, a Chicago area number:

Please let me know if you got this text message with a brief reply with your name. I am testing my group text because you will get your game ticket sent to this number.

I don't know the person who sent this, and getting a game ticket doesn't appeal to me, even if I didn't think this was a scam.

This text was sent to 19 people (that my phone shows). 15 people replied. 13 people replied with their name.

So that's roughly 2/3rds (68%) of the people totally fell for it and 10% responded but didn't follow the directions. We are doomed.

What is my obligation to these 18 other strangers?

[JoeP]

Post their names and numbers here and we'll decide.

Hey, Goodish news? This apparently was a real group of people attempting to arrange a weekend trip around some game. I got a few pictures of a bunch of white guys maybe between 30-70 and some texts like "I'm going to the liquor store, what should I get?"

I'd share the pictures, but they were boring, and I deleted the texts as soon as I received them.
One person specifically sent me an individual text and I did reply to that person. Told them I had no idea who any of them were, it was a wrong number.

The amount in the $300 range looks carefully chosen to be unreasonably high for a subscription but not “lol, nice try, morons”. Watching what scammers do is kind of like watching the fruits of sophisticated human behaviour research.
