Articole despre Nigerian Scam s-au scris foarte multe. Acum insa vreau sa scriu despre o versiune aparte pe care am botezato “Cargo Scam”. Si ca in orice poveste am sa incep cu a fost odata …un imparat si imparateasa lui care incercau sa cumpere o masina. Pe site-ul german de intermedieri de cumparari/vinzari auto imparateasa a descoperit “masina zilelor ei”, un Smart din 2005 care costa numai 3000 EUR. Cautind masina sa se uite mai bine la ea, imparatul a observat ca preturile masinilor cu caracteristici asemanatoare erau pe undeva pe la 5800-7000 EUR. Hmmm…un semnal de alarma. Apoi imparatul a incercat sa sune vinzatorul. Dupa jumatate de zi de incercari a raspuns o doamna de la un oficiu guvernamental din tara imparatului nostru..care insa nu are nimic de-a face cu vinzarea de masini. Hmmm…al doilea semnal de alarma. Dar sa ne intoarcem la basmul nostru. Site-ul de intermedieri oferea insa posibilitatea de a contacta pe mail vinzatorul de masini. Zis si facut. Imparatul nostru trimite un mail si cind colo dupa 3 ore primeste urmatorul raspuns:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car. I have worked in Germany for 3 months and I’ve purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I’m in United Kingdom. I’ve brought it home with me but I sell it because the car’s steering wheel is on the left side, and so it’s difficult to drive it in United Kingdom. The car is like new, in perfect condition, no scratches, no damage, never been laid down or required any repairs, no hidden defects, no smoking. Kept inside. It is in showroom condition. Used only on
limited weekend basis. The maintenance schedule has been followed to the letter and all service has been performed by dealer. All maintenance is documented. Technical inspection and emissions testing it’s passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it.
Let me know if you are interested to buy it?
Thank you.
Wow..gindi imparatul nostru….sansa vietii mele. Deci raspunde imparatul la e-mail si cere un numar de telefon unde ar putea sa-l contacteze pe vinzator. Acesta raspunde:
Hello,
The car will come with all the documets that you need including the contract of sale ,signed by me so will not be a problem for you to transfer the car onto your name. I will ship the car to your home address and I will use for shipping this company World Cargo Ltd .
They will inspect the car and check the legal papers and after that the car will be shipped to your address. I want a safe deal so i propose you to pay the shipping company and i will receive the money from them after you will get the car .I will start the shipping to your home address and you will send them the funds.They will hold the money until you inspect and test the car for 3 days and after that you must confirm that all is OK so i can receive the
payment from them.After delivery i will send you the shipping details (tracking number ) for checking.
I wait your answer.
Mai sa fie isi spuse imparatul in barba lui. O companie de trasnport care nu are macar domeniu propriu de adrese. Hm..alt semn de intrebare. Uitindu-se imparatul pe site-ul respectiv la pagina de contact, observa ca in afara de un formular de e-mail de contact nu exista nici o adresa sau numar de telefon. Hmmm…al patrulea semn de intrebare. Se aduna cam multe. Un search pe google dupa “world cargo ltd” il duce la un forum specializat in inselotorii pe internet unde gaseste aceeasi poveste cu niste detalii interesante. Plata urma sa se faca la….ati gicit o conationala plecata peste mari si tari:
These are our bank details where the down payment must be done:
Bank Account Name: Tudor Mihaela
Bank Account Number: 000000360682
Iban: IT75B 0889911100 000000360682
SWIFT (BIC) : BCCTIT2T
Bank Details: Banca di Credito Cooperativo , Italy
Suparat imparatul se mai uita odata pe google si gaseste urmatoarele site-uri care se ocupau cu aceeasi chestie:
http://www.worldcargostransports.com/
http://www.worldtransportslines.com/
http://cargoes-worldwide.com/
http://world-cargo-ltd.ws43.com/
Si pentru ca era suparat imparatul se duce imediat pe DNStuff si incearca sa afle cui apartin site-urile respective. De fiecare data site-uri creeate la ofertanti de spatiu de internet gratis din Italia si Anglia. O alta cautare pe goolge il duce la site-ul
“Stop escrow fraud, unde sint prezentate site-uri specializate in inselatorie pe internet si cind colo ce sa vada. Site-ul respectiv era listat acolo. Concluziile povestii:
De ce asemenea inselatorii functioneaza. Pentru ca exista oameni care nu stiu ca exista inselatorie pe internet. Ce poate ajuta? Pur si simplu popularizarea inselatoriilor. Acesta este de fapt si motivul pentru care am scris aceasta poveste care mi s-a intimplat mie. Pentru ca oamenii si nu numai specialistii de IT sa invete sa se fereasca de acest tip de inselatorie.
P.S. Astept inca mail-ul cu detalii despre plata. Sper sa nu fie din nou o conationala de-a noastra care a calatorit peste mari si tari.

Aceasi treaba a patit-o un prieten in urma cu vreo 3 ani (vanzator englez si masina cu volan pe stanga); doar ca respectivul nu a mai raspuns cand l-a intrebat daca poate sa trimita masina in Romania. Dupa o saptamana in care respectivul nu mai zicea nimic i-a picat fisa si a verificat ip-ul din headerele de la mail.. un i-cafe din sibiu.

Daca stai un pic sa te gandesti ca sa faci asa ceva nu trebuie sa fii vreun IT Guru sau mai stiu eu ce hacker. La un momentdat (acum vreo 5-6 ani) erau niste baieti in cartier care se ocupau cu lucruri asemanatoare. Treaba nu a tinut mult si au fost prinsi relativ repede (ca dovada ca nu erau prea inteligenti ).
Pana la urma totul tine de informatie si informare, o persoana care citeste zi de zi Liberatatea in metrou s-ar putea sa pice intr-o plasa ca asta.
Felictari pentru initiativa Cezar.

You should ask your bank to block the transfer if that’s still possible and of course go to police and report it.

YOUR WINNING PACKAGE DELIVERY DETAILSTuesday, September 30, 2008 5:47 PM
From: This sender is DomainKeys verified “HelfExpress HelfExpress”
Add sender to Contacts To:
Dear Customer, Welcome to Helf Express Courier Services.Helf Express is a UK based express courier, freight, mail and logistics company that has been supporting international businesses and lottery promoters over the years.We are a well established firm offering courier and transport services 24hours a day for priority delivery of letters, parcels and consignments to any destination by road, air or sea. We have a substantial team of couriers available for motorcycle despatch, plus van driver couriers in all size vehicles from small vans up to 7.5 tonne and international couriers for despatch by road, sea or air. Within our Express Courier services portfolio, we offer International Express Courier Services and Domestic UK National Courier and Timed Deliveries. We can express freight goods by road, rail, air, or sea to any international location possible. This is also to inform you that we are in possession of your package containing an international certified bank draft, The three different delivery categories and their attracted charges are given below. For any of the delivery option that you may choose, its payment is to be made when the delivery official gets the package to your doorstep, that is Cash On Delivery (COD). You are to make a choice of delivery that suits you from the following:
HELF EXPRESS COURIER SERVICES RDELIVERY CHARGESR
6/7 DAYS (DS3): TWENTY FIVE US DOLLARS ($25.00).
3/4 DAYS (DS2): FORTY US DOLLARS ($40.00).
SAME DAY (DS1): FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50.00).
However, most importantly, the package content must be insured by the UK National Insurance Company, before it can be despatched by our firm, then it can be delivered to you. This is due to the diplomatic content of the package that is been delivered. The insurance fee chargeable by the UK National Insurance Company for the covering of your package is Two Hundred and Fifty British Pound Sterlings (£250.00), which is about Five Hundred and Twenty US Dollars ($520.00). Failure to produce the insurance fee will mean refusal of package delivery by our courier service, because the package delivery without the insurance will be illegal. Our firm’s reputation has to be maintained as always, here in the United Kingdom, since such insurance cover is mandatory in the international law guiding the authentic delivery of diplomatic packages as this. It will be illegal to ship it without being insured as it will violate the federal delivery rules governing diplomatic parcel delivery. This means payment for the insurance fee must be made before shipment to avoid risk. This is because of some bad experience suffered by our firm in the past. We can not afford to be held responsible if anything goes wrong with your package without the insurance cover. In this case, payment for the insurance fee is absolutely compulsory, while the courier fee should be paid to our delivery official at the point of delivery (COD). NOTE: That the courier firm is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and as a result, you will have to follow the courier policies of the British Government. That your package is protected by a hardcover policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it is remitted to you. This means that the above stated insurance fee cannot be deducted from the package, hence must be provided by you before your package is delivered. This is in accordance with section 13(1n) of the National Gambling Act, as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3rd July 1996 by the Constitutional Assembly.This is to protect packages and to avoid misappropriation of funds. INSURANCE FEE PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONRegarding the aforestated, I would like to inform you that you are expected to receive your package within the days stipulated for the delivery system you shall opt for, after you make payment for the insurance fee of your package, in order that same is cleared to be delivered to your residential address that you have given.
