Group of Springhill South Korea



            The Laziest Scams in Internet History




 Springhill Care
BusinessWeek Articles – LIFESTYLE - A certain “Sehwan
Jung” in South Korea has been sending a number of
desperate requests for funds over Twitter: “I am in urgent
need of money. Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make
it up to you later.” A diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr.
Jung’s scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see
everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he’s
sent the exact same message over and over. For another, he
is tweeting almost exclusively to celebrities, including
Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist
Nicholas Kristof (who today sarcastically answered, “Sure!”),
and the foreign minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin
Ahmed Al Khalifa and Group of Springhill South Korea.
“Now this one is a real winner,” says Dan Ring, a
spokesperson for Boston-based data protection company
Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as
entertaining and as random as his actual request, and
it’s one of the more optimistic requests out there. I hope
there’s no way someone will fall for this.”
 
The “Sehwan gambit” joins the following examples as
one of the laziest scams in Internet history.
 
• “JOHN” fails to mention what he even wants to con
you out of:
Subject: what are you sale
Greetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly interested in
buying your{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will
like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and the
lastes condition,also i will like you to scan the pics for
me for proper verifycation.
• This scammer doesn’t even attempt to establish a personal
connection before offering $18 million:
Beloved,
I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I picked your email randomly
for an inheritance of $18M. Please contact me for more details via
[redacted].
 
• One malware attack came in the form of a bogus Christmas
card—sent on March 19:
Date: 2010-03-19 09:27:15
“You have just received a Christmas greeting card! To see your
custom card and who sent it, please check the attachment.”
• In this excerpt, one “Professor Farnsworth” selects
you to survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this experiment that CERN are
conducting is extremely dangerous, and could cause
global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a
black hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet.
The scientists do not want you to know this as they
know it will cause panic. However, I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected people to be
evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South
Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from
random to take part in this evacuation, thus continuing
the survival of the human race …”
• African prince scams are so tired. This reward is
allegedly offered by England’s royal family:
250,000.00 Pounds has been awarded to you From the
Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation ,send us your:-
