I posted that I was a disabled single mother in need with a paypal donation and this is the email I received. I can't fall for anything that is going to ruin my family when I am in fact asking for help.....I wish they could help but the email sure does not sound like it. They had to click on my paypal donation page in order to get my email to begin with. I do not know how to remove my email...I used the unique ID but it does not show when you click on the paypal donation link. I still need help not to be scammed.
Impostor Randy Woods presenting himself as CEO of Onelife Petroleum & Gas of South Africa based in Dallas. He is operating from Nigeria as a scammer victimizing and romancing online innocent women who are sincerely looking for partners then asking for money claiming he has been beaten up while visiting Nigeria for business. Email rwoods194545@gmail.com. Tel +234 8036656673. This can also be an identity theft as the company has a cheaply done website.
See: ripoffreport.com. This company hires contractors to collect Courthouse documents. The pay is extremely low, but that is not the whammy. You provide them with your bank account info, SSN and other personal info. for direct deposit into your bank account.They will threaten you, lie to you, and make you work for them for NOTHING. They say your information is inaccurate and leave you at that. The counties they sent me to were very low population and I could not meet the quota they set for me. When I tried to make them aware that in no way were there such documents (quota they listed) I was told to go back to the courthouses as they did not believe me. I did - and reported I was correct - not enough documents- and to please call the Courthouses and speak to the clerks to verify what I had said was true. I was sent nasty/unprofessional emails and fired. I wish I had done research on this company, as there are several complaints on them keeping the information you provide, then tell you they are charging YOU for late fees and you did not provide the data they requested -but they do keep the information/data you have provided... I have yet to receive pay for the documents I have provided them.
What are scams?
Scams are designed to trick you into giving away your money or your personal details. Scams come to you in many forms — by mail, email, telephone, over the Internet and door-to-door. There are several methods that scammers use to steal your money or personal details. The main purpose of this website is to teach you how to avoid scams and frauds of any type.
Here are two common scams:
1. Great promises scams
Scammers try to take advantage of you by promising things like winnings, prizes, true love or making fast money. But before they give you anything, they will request that you send them money or give them your bank account or credit card numbers or other full personal details like FULL NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, etc.... They never deliver what they promise and you always get ripped off.
2. Scams request for your personal details
Scammers pretend to be legitimate banks, businesses or organizations. They approach you out of the blue with flyers, letters, emails, websites or phone calls with requests that seem like the real thing. Then they’ll give a reason as to why you need to provide them with your full personal details, like your address, credit card number, password, bank account number etc. But genuine organizations don’t usually make such unsolicited requests. If you provide them with your full personal details they could steal your money and your identity.
Why do scams work?
Scams succeeds because it looks like the real thing and people can be easily sold into a scam trap. Scammers are manipulative – they push your emotional buttons to produce the response they want. Don’t let scammers steal your money and personal details – protect yourself from scams.
