Parfois vous recevez de drôles de courriels qui possèdent tous un point commun, ces messages vous réclament de l’argent.
Il existe plusieurs formes de d’escroqueries. Les deux plus courantes sont l’appel au secours d’un ami qui a perdu l’usage de sa carte de paiement (VISA/MasterCard…) et vous sollicite pour une avance via un moyen de transfert anonyme.
La deuxième se nomme l’escroquerie nigériane. Dans cette escroquerie, le rédacteur vous propose de partager un butin qu’il ne peut encaisser lui-même. Afin de contourner ce blocage, il vous propose d’encaisser ce trésor en son nom et vous propose une Royale commission. Mais pour ce faire, pour que vous puissiez vous retrouver sur le lieu du partage, vous devez lui faire parvenir des fonds pour qu’il puisse acheter un billet d’avion.
Récemment j’ai découvert une troisième forme d’escroquerie, les poursuites judiciaires imaginaires. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une tentative reçue cette semaine.
Sometimes you get funny emails that all have something in common, these messages are asking for money.
There are several forms of scams. The two most common are the rescue call of a friend who has lost the use of his payment card (VISA/MasterCard…) and asks you for an advance via an anonymous transfer.
The second is called the Nigerian scam. In this scam, the editor offers you to share a loot that he cannot cash himself. In order to avoid this blockage, he offers to cash this treasure in his name and proposes a Royal commission. But to do that, in order for you to be at the sharing location, you have to send him money to buy a plane ticket.
Recently I discovered a third form of fraud, imaginary lawsuits. Below is an attempt received this week. An automated translation will be found at the bottom of the page.
Clairement, ce courriel montre un caractère quasi officiel. Quelques éléments devraient éveiller votre attention.
- L’adresse de l’émetteur du courriel n’a rien d’officiel.
dr.rodriguez.gle@orange.fr - Les formes des quatre premiers paragraphes relèvent d’une phraséologie judiciaire peu maîtrisée.
- Le montant de “l’Amende pénale” et son expression en chiffres sont peu conformes aux us et coutumes.
Si vous recevez de tels messages, trois solutions s’offrent à vous. La première, celle que je recommande, est d’ignorer ce message purement et simplement. La deuxième est de transmettre ce message aux autorités et porter plainte. La troisième, celle que j’utilise parfois pour m’amuser est de donner suite et assurer l’escroc que vous souhaitez coopérer avec lui. Toutefois, echanger des messages présente un risque car les messages peuvent cacher un virus qui peut dévoiler des informations personnelles telles que codes d’accès…
Clearly, this email is almost official in nature. There are a few things you should be aware of.
- There’s nothing official about the sender’s email address.
dr.rodriguez.gle@orange.fr - The form of the first four paragraphs is a judicial phraseology with little control.
- The amount of the “Penal Fine” and its expression in figures are not very consistent with current legal practices
.
If you receive such messages, you have three options. The first, the one I recommend, is to ignore this message outright. The second is to convey this message to the authorities and file a complaint. The third, the one I sometimes use for fun is to follow up and insure the crook you want to cooperate with him. However, exchanging messages poses a risk because messages can hide a virus that can reveal personal information such as access codes…
