Does Anyone Here Know Nueview? Please pm me if you do.
« on: March 15, 2010, 06:41:03 PM »
I received an email from Martin that is disturbing, and if there is anyone that knows him more personally, please contact me.
This is the email I received from him today, as we were talking a while back on some tech issues and jt stuff.



How are you doing? I am writing you this message with tears in my eyes due what am going through, am in a great sorrow written you this note, I could barelytype or think straight right now, I hope you come to my aid. something terrible happened to me, I had a trip to Nigeria for a Conference Meeting.

Unfortunately for me I got robbed on my way to the hotel i lodged, my mobile phone, luggage including passport  and my travel documents were stolen, right now am really stranded. What bother me most is that am owing the hotel here and i have limited access to emails for now, I urgently need your financial assistance.The total sum of money that i would need would be $3,000 to sort-out the bills so i can make arrangements and return back, I'm very panic now, although I wasn't hurt because I complied immediately. The police only asked me to write a statement  about the incident and directed me to the embassy, I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively, I will return the money back to you as soon as i get home,. I'll wait to hear from
you so I can send the Western Union information to use in sending the money.I'll really appreciate your concern and support. Thanks

He usually writes in run on sentences, so Im not sure this is him, but if the situation is real, he may be more punctual to get the message for help out more clear.   So if there is anyone who knows him personally, we can figure out if he really needs help.
Thanks

Some of what is written seems familiar to how he would write things. Im not sure though.

I get scam email a lot in my spam, but not from someone I have had contacts with.

Hopefully we can figure this out.

@Magluvin

No-one should do anything...That letter is an ID Theft scam...Anytime
you see the word *Nigeria*...Immediately think Scam
... Just
wait until you hear from him again, they divert his account e-mail
addresses. Note: This will save a lot of embarrassment. They think all
westerners are gullible...but we aren't. They got to get a new country.

Personally, I am not in a + money position to do anything other than post around to see what is going on for sure. I received my first Nigerian scam e about 8 years ago. I have been on to that ever since. But I never had gotten one from someone I had been in contact with otherwise.
Maybe they even try to copy the way he writes and what he says that make it seem like him. Some things in the e seem like it is him.
Well, I hope he is ok. We had talked for a while about magnets, jts, tech stuff.  He seemed alright.

Just have to wait and see.

Definitely a scam.  It's a known, but less often used technique.  From your point of view it might be hard to see it as such, as it was aimed at you personally, but it's clearly bullshit.

Here's a similar example - http://www.eastwestinquirer.com/Nigerian%20Internet%20Scam%20Claims%20Another%20Victim.htm

Well I got this one later yesterday, but it seems to follow the scheme laid out by Lwh to a T.
here it is


Thank you so much for writing, i did not inform you about my travel recently to a Africa right now am really stuck due to the ugliest situation am undergoing please try and understand my situation  i have been disconnected from Internet calls because have not been able to sort out hotel bills due to the incident that happen to me, Am in a serious trouble here, Please send whatever amount you would be able to mobilize via western union money transfer to the information below.
 
Receiver name: Martin Galloway
Address: Sheraton Hotel & Towers
City: Ikoyi
State: Lagos
Zip Code: 23401
Country: Nigeria
Text question: What is my name
Answer:Dawn
 
I'll appreciate your assistance out of here as soon as you can, I promise to pay you back upon my return, meanwhile, upon completion of transfer, email me a copy of the western union transfer receipt, money transfer control number, text question and answer




I even went on to see if the hotel existed, and it does, but since Lwh posted the seemingly exact scam, I touch it no further.

So either Nueview is the culprit or someone knows he is on vacation and using his email.
Kind of weird if it is him.
