Asian Extortion Scheme

by SpamHater | Jun 12, 2009 | Spam Email Alerts

The FBI
is currently aware of a nationwide attempt to extort ethnic business owners, mostly
of Asian descent, through telephonic threats of violence. The telephone
calls appear to be originating from foreign countries. The caller acquires an adequate
amount of open source information about the victim through Internet searches. This
misleads the victim into believing the subject has personal knowledge about the
victim. There have been no reported incidents of violence
actually perpetrated to date.
Individuals who receive phone calls or e-mails containing threats of violence and
their personally identifiable information (PII)
are encouraged to contact law enforcement as well as file a complaint at
www.IC3.gov.

Why We’re Here

SpamScams is the Ultimate Spam Email Archive. Shedding light on email spam, scams, identity theft, and phishing schemes.

The purpose of SpamScams.net is to inform, not promote spam. Please DO NOT believe the spam email you receive. Even more importantly, DO NOT reply to them, DO NOT contact them, and DO NOT click on any links which we may have missed deleting. Furthermore, the inclusion of a company name(s) in spam emails DOES NOT automatically infer wrongful doings on the part of the named company, only that a scammer may be using the name of a legitimate company in order to complete their ruse.
