Beware The Michael Jackson Rip Off

by BS Artist on September 24, 2009

This email that I have only just received is bloody mind blowing, and I am not talking about the fact that the jerk behind the email is asking me to help him defraud the late Michael Jackson. Heck, if Micheal wanted that money to go to charity that is where it belongs.
Anyway, it’s all bullshit, and what I find amazing is that someone out there will actually fall for this piece of phishing crap. This not only makes them a fool, it points to their lack of character, and honestly this is the first time I can honestly say that anyone who falls for this gets what they deserve.

Dear Friend,

I am Ms. Britney Rowley, a co-recording producer for late Michael Jackson the great legend King of Pop who has just passed away on June 25, 2009. While I was working with Mr. Jackson, he deposited some funds for charitable trust organizations with a secured private institution and up till date nobody knows about the existence of these funds.

Due to the recent crisis going on in Jackson’s family concerning his assets. The Jackson family is now searching for late Michael Jackson undiscovered properties and money which might lead to the discovery of these existing funds. My reason for writing you is that I have decided to retire and resettle and now want the money to be moved out of this institution to you, where you will receive it and keep it safe for me until I come over to meet with you there. I need a trustworthy business partner and friend who will advise me on proper investments in your country and how I can live comfortably. I have obtained and secured all back up documents to support whoever I chose as help to this money.


For your assistance and help in receiving and investing this money, you will benefit a reasonable part of the total money. I will give you my full contact details and I would appreciate it very much if you give me yours including your phone number where I can reach you. Please send your reply through my e-mail britneyrowley@superposta.com

Best regards,
Britney Rowley (Ms)

It’s a damn shame that these low life’s can think, and probably do, get away with this. I left the email as it is in case someone can trace it to the instigator of this obvious phishing scam.

Wow, I’m stunned in seeing that one. It certainly hasn’t crossed my path yet. Weasels; I hate those people immensely.

International money schemes are become too numerous. I’m sure Michael never used companies over seas to distribute money to American children.

Nice information, Sire, sometime it’s hard to believe that people would go to such lengths to make money

Actually, the older you get the less surprised you are about these sorts of antics.

I’ve received a lot, but this one is particularly stupid. Who would believe it? Yeah, somebody just might!
