[h=1]INTERNATIONAL SMS SCAM MAKES ITS WAY TO SINGAPORE[/h]

Submitted by farhan on Fri, 16/10/2015 - 9:05am

Hello ASS,

I just received this SMS this evening (see picture attached).I know it's a scam, some receive it via email, some via SMS, but how many people actually believe this is real. If you make the mistake of replying to ask for more information, you’ll discover that you have to pay “taxes” or “transfer payments” or “bank fees” before the (imaginary) fortune can be delivered to you. And then if you make the bigger mistake of paying, the scammer will disappear with your money and you’ll never hear from him again.

Although there is a REAL Saudi Prince named Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who is giving away his fortune, scammers have taken advantage of it

A Saudi Arabian billionaire is planning on giving his entire $32billion (£20bn) fortune to charity.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the richest men in the world, said he wants to donate to groups that promote health and help with disaster relief.
The 60-year-old will also support women's charities and those that look towards eradicating disease.

He did not say whether the generous move would have any impact on his holdings.

Mr bin Talal is the grandson of Saudi Arabia's founder Ibn Saud.
He is said to have started his business empire with a $30,000 (£19,000) gift from his father and a $300,000 (£191,000) loan.

By 2005 he was worth $10bn (£6.4bn) and had earned the nickname 'Buffett of Arabia' after American business magnate Warren Buffett.

His investments include London's Savoy Hotel, Apple, Citigroup and News Corp.

The 60-year-old businessman is pictured signing a firm order with Airbus for an A380 Flying Palace in 2007. He became the first customer for the VIP version of the new double-deck airliner

The businessman has been known for his extravagant gifts and previously gave 25 Bentleys to members of a Saudi football team.
He also promised to give a free Bentley to every pilot involved in the Yemen air strikes earlier this year.
In 2013 he threatened to boycott Forbes magazine for underestimating his wealth and saying he was only in 26th place in a list of the world's richest.
The prince first came to the attention of the magazine when he contacted them following the publication of their first list in 1988.

The prince has several planes including the smaller A Hawker jet, left, and the Boeing 747

He wanted to inform them of his wealth and ensure that he was included in the next one.
But the relationship soured when the 2013 annual list claimed he was worth ‘only’ £13bn.
According to the prince’s calculations he should have been ranked at number ten with a £19.5bn fortune.


The super yacht owner, who is married to Princess Amira Al-Taweel and has two children, also enjoys the world’s largest private jet and a fleet of more than 200 cars.
These include his collection of Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
His property empire includes a 420-room mansion in Riyadh, which boasts various swimming pools and portraits of himself, as well as a 120-acre 'farm and resort'.

After trying to dupe people in the oil-rich Gulf states with massive cash prizes for the past years, online scammers have now come with a new con, using a recent decision by Saudi billionaire Prince Al Waleed bin Talal pledging nearly $32 billion to charity.

Several people in the UAE said they have received emails from a company in the United States telling them they are acting for the Saudi Prince and that they have been randomly been chosen to receive millions of dollars.

One recipient in Abu Dhabi said he received an email this week congratulating him for being selected to receive $3.2 million and asking him to send his personal details.

“Congratulations… our distributional strength and reputation comes from our ability to fully understand the broader secure requirements of an assignee and the key procedure that needs to be taken to ensure fast and legal process that is not contrary to your country policy subsequently,” the message said.

“As a preferred and concerned clearance office for this donation to a range of specific winners involves to undergo secure payment of $ 3.2 million. The funds benefit is part of the donation made by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donating his entire $32 billion fortune, announced on 1st of July 2015.”

The message told the Arab man, who did not want to be identified, that he would receive the money “sooner than expected”.
The senders asked the recipient to send them an ID copy, his full name, place and date of birth, country and city of residence, phone number, and “favorite colour”.

UAE police have frequently warned people against such scams which normally involve a request to the victims to send their bank account details.
