What Are Miscellaneous Scams?

Post by Roxy »

Miscellaneous scams is a section of this website that we use to file all other types of advance fee fraud email scams which don't fit directly into any of the scam categories on this website. Within this category you will find various types of unusual scam emails posted. Many of them will offer some kind of indication of the type of scam within the subject header of the scam email post itself however, we regret that we cannot offer a specific description for all the different types of miscellaneous scams found within this forum board. If you have any questions about any of the specific scam emails in this forum section then please feel free to use the link to Contact us below.

In all cases though these scams involve a type of fraudulent criminal practice known as “Advance Fee Fraud”, a.k.a. “419 Scams”. If you are not yet familiar with these two terms then the following article on Wikipedia can help you to understand more about how most of these types of scams operate: Wikipedia Link
