The Bernard Madoff E-Mail Scam
In the past 3 weeks, I did receive 4 Scam E-mails from Bernard Madoff. Well the E-mail are typical 419 style, I was pretty amused that they would use the "good name" of Bernie Madoff to try to scam people. It is kinda genious, everybody know that Bernie Madoff is in prison, so using that to create trust is weird but I am sure some people will fall for it.
English Scam Mail
German Scam Mail
419 Scammers using different languages thanks to Google Translate
So I wondered how these guys Speak German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Italian now.. I made a test and translated the text with Google Translate and the same and totally messed up German text was displayed identical in Google Translate. So Scammers are using Google Translate and it would be interesting to learn which other free tools they use? Are they using Basecamp or Mindmeister to organize their Scam Campaigns? I hope that people are not wiring their savings to these guys...
