I have been, as of late, receiving an alarming number of hits on the 'Have You Received This' post listed under 'scams'. Googlers (from all over the world) somehow arrive at my blog via search results for the Barrister Mohammed Azim Ali or of the same 3 names in various orders.
There are only 4 reasons I can think of as to why that is:
1. The scamming 'entity' has been very busy spamming these past few weeks.
2. People are verifying if there's any truth to it - why not, $12M is $12M and who would not want it - why I didn't even bother googling it....who the h*ll gives out $12M just like that.
3. There's a real Barrister in Malaysia named 'that' and together with his friends and associates are trying to find out about their sudden rise in popularity (or infamous-ness).
4. Or, or....people are already trying to find out how and where to claim their money.....and I just lost Ms of $s!!!!....which, btw, I highly doubt.
In lieu of this non-event and except for the few that can be found at scopes.com, below is an excerpt of (scam) spams I have received over a period of....(only) 2 months. If any of the following is at all legitimate then I just lost a lot of money - money I did not work hard for with nary a finger lifted except probably to click the mouse on the send button to give some unscupulous individual (or group) my personal and banking details!

Clicking on links from unknown sources is always ill-advised...in fact, NEVER do it, dog knows what kind of 'robot' you are downloading into your computer - these nasty creatures can either wreak havoc or worse collect information and could even be unwittingly sent out to your email contacts!!!
Why do I bother giving this blog space? Because people bother to research them and if I can prevent one internet fraud from happening...I've done my job. If anyone out there has actually become even a Million dollar richer, good for you - I guess I don't need the money that much (not bad to have, though)!

It amazes me that people can be so gullible. But as long as there's one person out there who takes the bait, these cretins will continue to look for them.
Some days, I'm afraid to look at my blog stats. It frightens me to see the kind of search terms that bring people to my site.
