Today in Australia 14.12.09 I received one of these scamming letters from Marie Callas. Firstly it was a photo copy of a letter, not original. People like Marie do not usually send letters containing the dates of when you will receive wealth and then ask for money. It stated that Marie was on holidays in Singapore, another reason to be suspicious. I'm glad I Googled her, I suspected a professional scammer the minute I started reading her letter. I will keep the letter and will let you know if her visions come true, I highly doubt it.

I received a letter from the person under discussion today and really felt - whilst reading it - that it was only the powers of the Universe which had finally recognized me and that everything might truly change for the better. BUT HOW GOOD CAN IT REALLY GET??? I did think to have a look on Google and this is one of the sites bearing unfavourable reports about this notorious attempt to retrieve monetary reimbursement from vulnerable people worldwide. Thankyou for reporting your experiences as it has saved me the loss I might have experience from a mistaken investment. My letter included a postage paid return envelope addressed to the DIVONNE LES BAINS locale.
Re: Marie Callas « Result #6 on Nov 3, 2009, 12:25pm »
Out of the blue, I received a letter from a woman called Marie Callas. It was a 6 page letter and very, very convincing. So convincing, I almost felt as if I was being swept off my feet. She claimed that "an extremely unusual and lucky phenomenon" is about to turn my life around and that my astral chart clearly shows "I will soon benefit from an amazing GOOD LUCK CYCLES LAW" which will give me a new Great Opportunity to win a VAST amount of money.
To make sure I would swallow her bait hook line and sinker, she further said, "... Your good luck cycle is an incredibly rare and lucky phenomenon which she has seen no more than 2 or 3 times of such intensity over her entire career!"
To make sure I got it all into my system, she even offered me a GUARANTEE OF GREAT HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!
WOW!!!
Incredibly, all she was asking me for was a mere A$40 plus A$10 postage and handling. That is supposed to be a discount from the regular amount of AUD160.00 she demands from her other suckers.... oops! 'clients' I mean.
She was so sophisticated in handling payments, I was offered to pay by AMEX, VISA, Mastercard, Diners Club, cheque, Money Order and even cash.
But wait a minute, something did not jell. I noticed my name and address on her letterhead was slightly different from the the rest of the letter. It was as if my name and address was merely typed onto a mass produced mail!
Of course I would not trust a stranger with my credit card details, right. Aw, what the heck, it is just 40 bucks! So how about writing out a cheque? But wait again, my instructions is not to make it payable to "Marie Callas", but to a company called, "Digital Pay Europa"!!!
Hahah!! No wonder the Yanks say, "One sucker is born every minute". I disagree. It should be, "One sucker is born every second!!"
Mr Wang has surfaced again, last heard from at a FedEx mailbox address in Canada, but now using:
PO Box 71 Bedford MK40 2WR
probably used by Padeol Business Services, and responsible for several slimming product scam postings.
Mailshot features an old image of a Chinese gentleman, possibly taken about 150 years ago. My partner is requested to send no money, but she can have a free horoscope and magic symbol if she returns the form with her details. As it costs money to send out the mailings and operate a mailbox, the requests for money will come sooner or later.

Phone scam in UK « Result #10 on Sept 27, 2009, 9:55am »
I received a rather interesting e-mail today and thought it best to pass on: "received a call from a 'representative' of BT, informing me that he was disconnecting me because of an unpaid bill. He demanded payment immediately of £31.00, or it would be £118.00 to re-connect at a later date...
The guy wasn't even fazed when I told him I was with Virgin Media, allegedly VM have to pay BT a percentage for line rental! I asked the guy's name - the very 'English' John Peathingy with a very 'African' accent - & phone number - 0800 0800 152. Obviously the fella realized I wasn't believing his story, so offered to demonstrate that he was from BT. I asked how & he told me to hang up & try phoning someone - he would disconnect my phone to prevent this. AND HE DID !! My phone was dead - no engaged tone, nothing - until he phoned me again.
Very pleased with himself, he asked if that was enough proof that he was with BT. I asked how the payment was to be made & he said credit card, there & then. I said that I didn't know how he'd done it, but I had absolutely no intention of paying him. I didn't believe his name or that he worked for BT. He hung up.
I did 1471 & phoned his fictitious 0800 number – not recognised. I phoned the police to let them know. I wasn't the first! It's only just started apparently but it is escalating. Their advice was to let as many people know by word of mouth of this scam. The fact that the phone does go off would probably convince some people it's real, so please let as many friends & family aware of this.
This is good but not that clever. He gave the wrong number - it should have been 0800 800152 which takes you through to BT Business. The "cutting off" of the line is very simple, he stays on the line with the mute button on and you can't dial out - but he can hear to trying (This is because the person who initiates a call is the only one to terminate it).. When you stop trying, he cuts off and immediately calls back. You could almost be convinced! The sad thing is that it is so simple that it will certainly fool the elderly and vulnerable..
Please pass this on to friends and family, and be on your guard. If someone coldcalls asking for personal details, tell them to put it in writing, if they are genuine they will already know your name and address.
