hi everyone.... Scam alert!!! I got an email from deaf charity group
recently then few minutes i got an im from them and i knew it is a
scam cuz it said Am fine. most of scammers always say Am. Also they
spelled the word wrong not S as it should be z? lol..

Obiviously I knew no charity would donate money just for winning ?? but people would donate their money to charities that go to the needed like
disasters and children with disablities so on, etc but win just for
being picked out with your email address or screen name? yeah right!!! so i want to warn deaf people all over USA.

So can you send to everyone pls so they will be aware of this and i dont want people to lose their money. Thanks!

The website also need to be closed down too. Plus NAD need to be notified that this said NAD acutally endorse this thing? i dont believe this? I hope someone know where to send this to? I have no idea but this need to be done soon as possible before someone lose their money, ok? so please let me
know!!! I appreciate it..Thanks.~ Have a great day!

The website is a fake one, I can see in the source code ;)

Thanks for the heads up, FC!
 
It's also curious how their website says that they get the email addresses from NAD and the other organizations. I wonder if NAD knows about that? I'm a member of NAD, and I certainly would NOT appreciate them sharing my email address with bunko organizations!
 
I got the same thing a few months ago...:roll:

Thanks for the heads up!
 
Wait a minute -- Reba, you said that you're a member of the NAD right? Take a look at this

"I've been a member of NAD for 22 months and I am happy to Win $150,000.00 from Deaf Charity Organization."

I ain't falling for these comments, right?
 
Oh damn to scammers.

Thankfully, I don't have any scammers that bother me via email or IM because I was configuration on more tighten privacy to whipping scammers off but used to got IM from scammer for very time ago like happened in 2006.

I wish that I would send an dangerous trojan horse to scammers via email to screw their computer up and kill HDD to dead.

Yeah, I also felt that the credit card companies images were out of place. There are a lot of things that seem out of place.

Excatly, that's what I mean! Things are out of place and it is not professional, like my website for australia where it has a professional look. :) Shame on Deaf Charity Organisation. :pissed:
 
I knew this is fake. I was right all along.. deaf charity :rl:

i checked the phone number to see where it is located at. it is located at Minnesota but the address is in GA, wtf? cant they make their mind up where their shitty headquarter is? sheesh! so obivously its a scam!

I wonder if someone would dare to call the number? lol... heh!

Former President Clinton? Bill Gates, and others? I dont think they would endorse this along with NAD?

I already sent email to NAD about this and I hope to hear from them soon! They wont be happy about this!!!! i will let you all know what NAD said on this ok? :)
