Just got mine. I assured her I was honorable, but broke, so I needed an initial cash deposit. No checks

If any of you have aged parents, watch them carefully. My father started sending minor amounts of money to these outfits that claim to be holding millions in sweepstake money... they ripped him off for a lot before I found out and put some safeguards in place.

Now they're buggin him daily through the mail with offers from fortune tellers, soothsayers and such... offering him "insights" for winning lotto #'s and such.

Breaks my heart! My father was/is the most Christian, God-fearing man I've known and since Mom died, he's off the hook wanting to win a lot.

Our local Office of Aging tells me they're really preying on the elderly who want to leave a "legacy" for their loved ones...and often wiping out their bank accounts of stealing their identies!

We can laugh. But I for one cry... so many aged folks are being truly beaten to death...losing everything...

...even their bows and arrows (just to keep it trad related!)

I hate these predators!

'She' just registered and started spamming folks.

Helena was banned.

Great response time Terry. Good looking out.

Would have been done earlier...but I was out of town....and evidently Rob was as well.

I received an email this evening. It automatically went into my Junk Folder. I noticed something was in my Junk Folder I had no idea what it was until I opened the folder. And once I looked at the email and noticed it was "Helena" I know to leave it as junk by marking it as unsafe and it was deleted. I'm glad I read this thread before I received the email. I would not have been tempted to have opened it, however, because even though it was typed in "English" the grammar of the email that was copied and pasted in the thread was atrocious and it just didn't flow properly. It read like a foreigners efforts to speak English.

Well, I'm INSULTED!! Evidently, Helena doesn't see the same kind traits in me that she did in you who recieved the note. I try to be good!

Thanks for making the effort to be sure no one gets caught by something like this- and for ending the hassle that it is to even see it in the In-Box.

My Dad used to say, "Too soon old, too late smart." Glad that doesn't have to come into play here!

1 Timothy 6:9-10 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

Greedy people prey upon greed.

~sniff~ I feel so sorry for her!.....Where do I sign up for her account?

I worry about this country when people DO fall for scams like this. Exactly how dumb do ya hafta be to fall for this?

chrisg · « **Reply #33 on:** March 23, 2009, 03:02:00 AM »

Terry she may have been banned but while she was registered she evidently went through the site downloading email addresses, I got one last night.I can guarantee you 'Helena' does not exist, these scams are very common here, epecially Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Congo etc. I am a financial planner and in the bank we'd see these every week, young people and elderly come in eyes glowing to tell us they are going to be rich, it's all a scam to get your bank acc details and then they clean you out.

If my wife even smells a name like Helena in my inbox I'm more then dead twice over!

Molson · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2009, 07:02:00 AM »

Helena is back as Helen and just registered again. Using a different email address this time.

Nakohe · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2009, 07:42:00 AM »

I just found the exact same message in my e-mail word for word. I can not believe these people think they can get away with this. I hope everyone stays on guard even for your loved ones who may be naive and fall for this.

Terry Green · « **Reply #37 on:** March 23, 2009, 09:11:00 AM »

Yes...she did register two more times...both were banned.

She wasn't 'downloading' email addys. She can't get into the system to do that, and not ever sure I can do that and I cant get into the system ...she was just clicking on folks and copy and pasting them. She was just a 'member' and couldn't do anything as a member that you all can do. Again, she can't get into the control system. If she was that smart, she wouldn't be fooling with Trad Gang with this scam.

Robhood23 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 23, 2009, 09:15:00 AM »

I got the email as well! This one has been around for years!

frassettor · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2009, 09:18:00 AM »

Someone should tell her that she has to keep it about Trad Bowhunting or her thread might get pulled

Sorry I couldnt resist
