From my Junk Mail, surprisingly a lot of people still fall victim to this type of skin deep cheap trick...
Dear Sir.
This is Mrs.Sahra Johnson from Namibia but presently in France for operation. I have a donation to make which I will need your assistance to carry it out for me, I will be 62 years old this coming August 17, a widow and a servant of the Lord for the past 38 years in Ivory Coast .
I inherited some money ($9.121, 000) from my late Husband Mr.Hugo Johnson.I want to give it out to Orphanage and Charity Organisations as a vow which I made before the Lord.I have a lung and breast cancer and will be having operation next two weeks, though the doctors already confirmed I only have some months to live but I am happy and glad that the Lord has kept me safe and guided me to accomplish my mission on earth. I will be happy to meet Him where He wants me to be.
I want you to contact this Nurse Miss Gladys Aruna I have given her the documents of the money and have directed her to a lawyer that will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you.
Miss Gladys Aruna.
Email: gladysaruna@yahoo.co.jp
She will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to the lawyer I have appointed to her; the lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name for the bank totransfer the money to you.
This is the favour I need when you have gotten the money:
(1) Give 10% of the money to Miss Gladys Aruna as a promise Imade to her.
(2) Give 50% of the money to Charity organizations, orphanage homesand Churches on my name so that my soul may rest in peace.
The remaining 40% should be for you and others that you would loveto assist.
And if I don't hear from you within few days, I will look for another person. May God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.
Pray for me always.
Mrs.Sahra Johnson

Be careful when you share your table in restaurants
This is sent to me by my sister Lily, so I just copy and paste it here...
I was with a relative of mine today having a cup of coffee in Ampang. My relative had a very bad experience that I want to share with all of you. Last week in the morning, he was having coffee at one of those famous coffee outlets. A stranger asked to share his table and he agreed. During light, polite conversation, my relative sipped his coffee, and commented that it was bitter.
The next thing he knew he was in Ampang Puteri Hospital . He completely blanked out!
He later found out that his coffee was spiked (drugged) and his bank account was cleaned out – the culprit used his ATM card (he thinks that he must have given the PIN number while in a state of being drugged.)
So please ladies and gentleman, do not assume that your drinks can only get spiked in bars and clubs – it seems that now it has spread to innocent coffee shops and cafe
Please take care and be careful and alert at all times. Life is hard enough, don’t make it any harder for yourselves or your family and friends. Thank you.

CREDIT CARDS
SCENE 1.
People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they?
A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker.
After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, "Funny, I thought I locked the locker. Hmm, "He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order. Everything looked okay - all cards were in place.
A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!
He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.
Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system
and asked if his card had been stolen. "No," he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.
An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.
The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.
How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?
$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?
Small amounts rarely trigger a "warning bell" with some credit card companies.
It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.
The bill for the meal came, he signed it,and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along.
Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.
He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.
She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.
All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.
No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.
Verdict: Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.
Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time.
Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, "assuming" that it has to be theirs.
FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
SCENE 3:
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.
I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account.
The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.
While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing.
I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture.
He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on.
It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing.
He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.
About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.
Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.
Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened.
Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor.
All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.
Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card.
Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.
When you are in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings your card and receipt for you to sign, make sure you scratch the number off.
Some restaurants are using only the last four digits, but a lot of them are still putting the whole thing on there.
I have already been a victim of credit card fraud and, believe me, it is not fun. The truth is that they can get you even when you are careful, but don't make it easy for them.
