Emily Olivier Jackman
Yet another scam, this time from a troll claiming to be Emily Olivier Jackman. Scam email is included below:
GREETINGS!
I am sure this mail would come to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to choose you amongst the numerous internet users in the world. I cannot say why I have chosen you but don’t be bothered about this, for I come in peace and something positive, which will affect your life and the lives of others for good. The internet has made the world a global village where you can reach anybody you have not met before.
Before I proceed, I am Mother Emily Olivier, 87 Years old and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while flying from New York to Geneva. You may confirm this from this link:
[snip]
After the death of my husband, I headed his investment and now that I am old I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and relatives whom I never had time for during my active business life. Before the death of my husband, we had plans to use the last days of our lives to disburse part of our resources to serve the needs of the less-privileged and whatever left for ourselves and relatives. But unfortunately, my husband is not alive today to do this with me, hence I have decided it on behalf of my late husband and I.
I have willed out half of our assets to charities in different countries.In addition to the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we resolved to positively touch the life of an individual we have not met in life, the reason being that when we were younger we received help from an unknown individual, whom we have not met till this day. The impact we got from such gesture made us to do same to you now.
I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing.
I have deposited a Check valued at 5,800,000.00 British Pounds with FedEx to be delivered to you upon your contacting them. So, contact FedEx now with the contact details below to know when your package is scheduled for delivery to you to avoid the expiration of the due date for cashing the cheque before the delivery to you:
Contact Person: Mr. Mark Robins
Email Address; fedexdelivery-london-uk@msn.com
For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charges, Insurance Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee as required for the Check showing that the fund donated to you have no link to Drug-trafficking or the sponsorship of Terrorism in your Country. The only charges to be paid by you are 195.34GBP, as security keeping for the check so far. This would have been paid by me, but the company insisted that I should not, since the time you will contact them is not certain and to avoid accumulated security keeping fee. Try to contact the company fast on receiving this email to avoid further delays. Remember to ask them to provide you with the method of paying security keeping fee.
You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.
Postal address;
Full Names:
Direct telephone number;
The Security keeping code of the cheque: (SCT/0433/c)
Note: Neither should you thank me nor my husband, just invest wisely with the money given to you and do same to the life of another someday as this is the only way we can better our world. Also, I will no longer be reading my emails as I have retired completely to my ranch. Note that all further correspondences should be between you and FedEx Delivery Service London.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Emily Olivier Jackman
Notice: The above is a scam posted for your awareness only!
I have received the same scam e-mail on 3/19/09. Unfortunately many people will be sucked into these types of scams. As the e-mail states “Be also notified that I will no longer be reading my emails or surfing the internet as I have retired completely from the outside world to my ranch” Come on, who writes this in an e-mail, that says SCAM all over it!!!
i just received this scam mail. Funny that a woman who isn’t on the internet anymore on the 19th of march is still sending the same e-mail out to folks on the 30th of March. I have seen many of these scams in the last few months and generally ignore them, this one just seems to ring so blatantly false that i had to google it and see more info. I’m glad i’m not the only one.
Funny I’ve received it on Day of the Fulls. Very symbolical! My best wishes to her/his/their “retirement”.
Well, Jim and Diane, she is still surfing around the internet as of April 23 since that is when I got the email. I get so angry when I get these emails. It upsets me knowing that some innocent person who really needs money will fall for this. Ooooo, it gets me so riled!! I forward every spam email that I get to govt agencies designed to help in the fight against internet fraud. If they catch even one, I will do a happy dance! Emily Olivier Jackman can bite me!! ;)
i had same e-mail on 25/04/09 do they really think we are that stupid to fall for such a thing. some people make me sick the internet should me a safe reliable place but its not its full of pedo’s, scam artists and just sick people for heavens sake, grow up and get a real job will you!
I wish these scammers would quit wasting tax payers money by sending out scam e-mails that cause others grief!
Just got this today.. I didnt even open it, suprisingly my yahoo spam filter caught it and put it where it belongs.
I also have recieved this exact e-mail today. The date 5-6-09 and the security code of the check is a couple of letters different.
What can be done about this……………..why cant anyone put and end to this madness.
We received this on June 10 2009. Nobody is that blazin’ stupid, right. We do want an unrestricted internet, so we as users must sort out the good stuff from the crap. What I would like to know is where do they get your email address?
8/17/09 I received this very scam this morning. I find it hard to believe that an 87 year old person could speak so fluently at that age. Usually it is hard for someone of that age to speak clearly but needless to say some and very few could. Always there is a fee to pay WARNING. I noticed the statement on June 10 of where do they get our email address. On me I was succoured out of 2,000 dollars here and there and they put me on their list of contacts. I don’t know if you had been scammed on sending through Western Union. I was in 2005. Always check out their names and see if there is anything against them. I did look up this man that so called crashed his name is not there. I believe the person that sent this is probably in their 30′s.P.S. at age 87 who even gets on the internet?
I GOT ONE OF THESE SCAM MAIL ON SUNDAY, I GOOGLE AND FIND
THE SAME LETTER THAT I RECEIVED. THEY ASK ME FOR 150BP SO I
SENT THE MONEY, AND THEN I CALLED MY FUNDS BACK, AND HOPING
THAT THEY WOULD SHOWED UP TO COLLECT SO THE COP CAN ARREST
THEM FOR FRAUD.
I AM REAL SICK OF THEN TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HARD
EARNED FUNDS. I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM AND THAT WAS A RISK I HAD TO
TAKE. THE DIRECTOR NAME WAS A CHRISTOPHER BRABIN. WITH A PHONE
+44-702-403-1738. I HOPE THEY GET CAUGHT!!! THEN WE WILL HAVE ONE
LESS CRIMINAL ON THE STREET.
Still going as of 9th sept 09. Just received the same email but she hasnt stated she wont be checking her emails. Maybe the retiring to the ranch just didnt work out for her??!!! An 87 yr old who is good with technology.. its a rare find! ;-)
Oh! By the way, the sum is now reduced to a measley £2,800,000.00. Hardly worth it now is it?! :0)
Just received a similar wording in a mail to-day, but now the sum is up to £ 5.8 million and the initial fee is up to £165
Who do they think they are fooling?
