The Riff-Raff Element Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm trying to workout whether this a scam to cream off from non-existent transfer fundsor some kind of money laudering wheeze. Of course, I could be doing theauthor a terrible diservice and this is an entirely honest scheme, inwhich case I would like to apologise to them publicly and withoutreservation for having cast unworthy aspertions in their direction.Anyway, here it is - originates from Mexico and is available in atleast three major languages, including both English and French.

Quillan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's the 'Honda Scam' named after the first of these type of emails. I put a post about these in the FAQ section. It's a bit like 'The boys from Nigeria' scam in as much as they pop up but with different names of people and/or companies. The dead givaway is the WU (Western Union) payment method who in my personal opinion should really do something about this. The reason is that they are the only company of their type that do not put anti fraud protection in place which is why so many scammers are using them. If you get one of these emails bin it.
