Caught in the Act 
Is this for real???
At the top of the page it says this:
If you got here through a search, then that the e-mail you’re receiving is a scam. Don’t fall for it!
Over up there on the right it says this:
It’s a SCAM!
This entire site is dedicated to exposing the advance fee fraud scam. I post all of the advance fee fraud e-mails I receive, so that you’ll realize when the search engine brings you here that you’re not special, you haven’t won, that there is NO MONEY!
Comments are moderated. DO NOT comment asking where you’re money is – there isn’t any. DO NOT post your personal information such as phone number or address – I will delete it, and then post your comment anyway so the world can see how stupid you are.
Gee, I don’t know, what do YOU think? real or not?
i want to know if this is really or no cause i send my information
It’s a fake. Be vigilant about people using your information to secure credit in your name that you will be responsible for.
I too had such an e-mail, two in fact – with the second one arriving this morning. Hopefully no-one falls for it but my guess is that some will.because they think it’s easy money. They will turn out to be the losers and the scammers the winners. It should really be the other way round!
I just got this same email, but I obviously didn’t reply or click on the links, I was checking whether this had already been reported to the scam sites, which, it seems, it has.
One thing, though, they’re now using different email addresses. One is garethbull08@yahoo.com, the other is gareth-bull01@hotmail.co.uk .
Gotta love some of the things these scammers think up, they’re a constant source of amusement.
Mind you, it’s an amusement I can do without…
Thanks for maintaining this site, it’s a great source of info.
I received the above email this morning, and the email is now gareth-bull09@hotmail.co.uk and I didn’t respond to it.
I also received the email today.
I thought it was real.
so i reply the email. i give my name to them and they reply to me.
Dear _________,
How are you?

And this from dhl.packagesdeliveryoffice@gmail.com, surely they wouldn’t use a public email server.
Google search for Larry Desk almost received no reliable hits.
Saw the interview online at the above address and Catherine Bull is pretty hot! Congratulations to them.
Got the same msg.

I get them nearly daily, also the bank scams.
Report to the banks they use, banks have a responsibilty here too i think.
Different email addresses is also a sign of scammers.
I get this email at least twice a month.
I also received an E-Mail from Garth Bull. Note last name Bull , That is what this is Bull. I contacted the bank in London and they have no such person as a customer. No Money Charlie
the email is now: garethbull44@live.co.uk
if you follow the link to the article – it is dated 25 Jan, 2012…so pretty old & I am sure they have sorted out their investments & donations by now.
I received a version of the email at the top today. I thought it might be a variation of a 419/AFF, but it didn’t seem to ask for the standard questions or refer to a bank transfer – and the version I got said they would send me a cheque. I knew better than to click the link to the Sun story about Mr & Mrs Bull’s lottery win, so I decided to copy the text & email it to my husband (a research librarian). Funny thing is – the text I cut & pasted did not appear in the email he received, he only received the text I originated.
I forwarded a copy to the FTC (I now wonder if the text disappears on their copy, too).
Anyway, I hope Mr & Mrs Bull aren’t being pestered by anyone over this.
Now GarethCatherine11@rogers.com ….must have moved to Canada, or were they here all along?!?
I always select source code and do a whois search for the ip. Then forward the message to the abuse email address with the source code and whois information. Don’t know if i did it with this one.
If you still have the email, post the ip here. (should have done that too)
I use spamcop, and all reports like you suggest happen automatically once I mark a message as spam.
Tnx scruffy, using spamcop now too. Much easier than looking it up myself.
I really love the scam where the FBI in Washington tells me there’s a large sum of unclaimed money for me in London while the mail originated in Nigeria …….. Seriously?? Do ppl believe that?
I also received this scam and thought it was legitimate, until i read it properly obviously someone does not know how to spell english words.
Hi I got the exact email two days ago. well I decided to have some fun at there expense after a couple of emails back and forward to get them hooked well my last replie was. mate your not even english you have just been scambaited what you dont realise do you know what AFP stands for australian federal police do you know what an ip address is well I have forward all corespondence between you and me to internet fruad division and you see you think you can just make another email address and just go on scamming people who ever registered that domain/ip will eventuality be found and all phone conversation’s have been recorded as for matching voice reconition your a low life that should be ashamed of yourself and am in the process of tracking your ip you wont get away with it see the jokes on you you low life they are going to slam the book at you when they catch up with ya ha ha ha ha lowlife preying on the vunable you will get caught in time. Well didn’t they go quite real quick lol I hope they shut up shop or at least had a good scare bloody scum. Thanks and I just thought id share with all cheers
Hi again sorry there was a lot more I cant stand these type of people its wrong what there doing but thanks all I just wanted to share my experience with you’s thanks all and I hope no one else gets involved with these people have a good day and buy the way there phone is off now and no response from them ha cheers all dee.
But people!!!!! it’ REAL!!!!!!!! Had I have answered all of these crap emails I would be a TRILLION AIR by now!! hahahahahahah! and really if you send your info your just as stupid as they are! It”s 3rd world crap looking to rip off any one they can! they need a government, education, jobs,….and maybe a beer store!!!!! Shawn from Canada
ok! I got a scam!!! every one send me a dollar!! LOL! if we all do this we would all be rich! Rich I tell ya!!! Ya! as if! Shawn from Calgary Canada…..but, reality is! we all have to work for it! not steal it from a mans wallet or a woman”s purse
Don’t understand that after all the complaints they are still in business.
I think the providers have a big responsibility here and should be held accountable for ignoring the complaints or letting known scammers use their services.
told them to send me a certified cashiers check….then the emails suddenly stopped lol
Received an E-mail, from Bull-family@rogers.com today.
Replied giving David Camerons contact details.
Maybe someone with then take notice, but quite honestly I have no confidence it will happen.
The Tory party are all Scammers.
I report all those scammers to spamcop.
But seems there is no law against providers keeping these criminals in business.
Just sent a mail to the European committee of digital affairs to ask for action against these kind of criminals.
I had an email from whoever too, promising me a bunch of cash I don’t need. What instantly drew my attention to it was the dictatorial orders to give them all my details… Who wants to know trash scum like that ?. con or not. filth attitude. This kind of money I am sure, you would just only be asked for ur telephone number. The rest, proof and arangements can be done face to face later, or it’s a clear cut scam.. how do you report this ? no button on yahoo for it. but then, its only yahoo. :(
I use spamcop, but thats basicly for spam and not scam …. looking for a good scam report site too. Except the FBI, almost a day filling in all the info for 1 report ;)
mr.garthbull2012@foxmail.com is now being used
Got this last year and now again today!!!
Guess they are up to old tricks again…
WHY CAN’T POLICE ARREST THESE CREEPS???
Received this on October 21, 2013. Email he is using is now mr.garthbull2012@foxmail.com.
Same shit address as above. I’m gonna fuck with em for awhile. See just how far and what dumb ass reasons they come up with to get me to send money first. Really do people fall for this and actually lose there money or give out bank info. Then again I seem to be surrounded by idiots that voted Obama as our president. I want to hear the stories of idiots that never catch on. I know your out there.
The world is full of idiots keeping these scammers in bussiness.
Darwin ftw.
Never fall for them they promise you a loan and this guys are just scams
Another email for this scam is: mr.gaarethbull2013@foxmail.com It would be so wonderful if such wonderfully charitable people existed, but sadly, how in the world would they actually find us?
They send to generated addresses, thousands maybe even millions …. and there’s always some naive idiot that fall’s for it. Otherwise they would have stopped already.
they must be running out of money now because my offer wasnt for £1.5M, I was only awarded £800,000.
“We are donating £800,000.00 GBP to you from Gareth & Catherine bull Foundation ,a charitable organisation group discorvered by Britains Multi millionaires , for claims send in a reply your Full-name , Age, Phone Number, Country . follow link to see our live interview regarding your donation
Sincerely,
President -Gareth & Catherine Bull.”
and this was sent from ‘Gareth & Catherine Bull (bull1@rogers.com)’
LOL, must be …. after all the money they gave away already …..
And he’s gone up … president no less ;)
Got the email yesterday from g044cb@yahoo.co.uk, referenced the Standard Bank London and Mr. Raymond Peterson. I responded that I do not give out that personal information, but would arrange to have my attorney meet their flight and escort them to my bank to secure the deposit. Interesting what their reply will be, if any.
i to recieved the same email here in australia just this morning,some people are unbelieable they make me sick
