MikeJ Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Ahh... known as 419 scams. I see several a week. Some people have actually been taken for thousands of dollars falling for those scams. Typically, after you call them, they get you to put some money into an account first, to show you are serious, and then while you are waiting for your big payoff, they are running off with your money.

Here in sweden a magazine answered one of those emails (from yahoo or something adress of course) and then published it on their site. It was most amusing to read. Click to read, some parts in swedish, but I think you will understand. Edited February 1, 2004 by Jikrantz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-Thomas Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Speaking about scams and spams... I received this as a subjet in a email today: Re: Your Codeine Tylenol3 refill is ready 2 problems: 1) I dont know what Codeine Tylenol3 is, so 2) I can not have ordered it Wonder if spammers will learn to do some subjects people will buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellringr Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Tylenol 3 is Tylenol with Codeine. I've had it prescribed after surgery before. No one ever said spammers/criminals were intelligent. Then again, alot of their recipients aren't either or they wouldn't keep doing it. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deverill Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 It may not be about fooling you like that even. If you were an average user and followed the link and found out that you could get medicines that legally require a doctor's prescription because they are so powerful, would you be tempted to try it? I know lotsa folks that would love to be able to get Codeine-laced Tylenol. After all, the pharmacy price would be less than the street price!

bellringr Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Problem is, a great number of places like that are bogus and you end up with no money AND no drugs. hehe But I agree - codeine is good stuff when you're really hurting, and it makes me sleepy without giving me the jitters like OTC sleeping pills do.

Alan Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yes, they had a few online places shut down for selling people pills, that actually where the wrong type, and the people who had taken them, died from the wrong dose/type of pills.

Deverill Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 So what is Tylenol? It's an over the counter painkiller for headaches and muscle pain also called paracetamol. It is also sold under the name Panadol in some countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
