12/13 Dr. Phil and Robin's Holiday Special

It's very good to see people like you and Robin sharing your wealth with so many people.  If I were to become financially better, I would do the same thing.  I had much rather give than take.  My home burned down in 1987 and we lost everything.  People never gave us anything except sympathy. I never thought anything about it at the time.  There was just too much to do trying to get built back, keeping up with our jobs.  But it seems that when things happen to people in numbers, people are there.  But when it's just one no one is there.

Now, how can I get tickets to your Holiday Special show next year? 

Peg

get rich emails!

I get emails almost every day from Nigeria, UK, and other countries telling me I have inherited millions.  All I have to do is send my phone and address and it will be delivered.  All pf them have a similar story. Some are dying from cancer and want me to get their money for one reason or another.  I cannot find out what the gimmick is with these emails.  Does anyone know?Peggy Warren

Get rich quick

Quote From: tigercub247

The problem is it looks so easy. Nothing more is asked of you than to give out a little information. The problem Peggy is that with just that small amount of information alone, you could have your identity stolen. For instance, you give your name and address out:
1) I can know go to your home and
a) go thru your trash and get personal information
b) potentially stalk you
c) rob you
etc. and that is just what can be done with the info. Other scams ask you for your name, address, bank account number where they can send you the check and your social security number of the. This too leads to identity theft. Others ask you to send them a check for say $3,000 in order for the funds to be released. This too is their way of gaining something from you for nothing. Your Hard Earned CASH. Please Peggy, do not fall prey to these scams. In the end the only thing you will have gained nothing and potentially lost everything. Also please note that they are now calling homes with this same type of scam, stating that the government has had money that is yours. If that is the case than you can verify the information through government or legal channels. I hope this helped.
Sincerely
AJ

AJ,

Thanks for the response.  I still get these every day.  I have since found some good and sound info put out by a bank out of the country.  They say to delete (which I have always done), block sender .  Blocking doesn't help because I don't get any from the same person or same name.  My theory was they were trying to steal my identity, and I'm sure that could have played a part in it.  But the Bank says they are trying to get this money into this country for different reasons.  The least not being for terrioist. And there was no way that they were going to let you keepit.  That has really scared me. Not for myself falling for it, but for others who might fall for it.    (I think the bank was Bank of America in Nigeria)

Peggy
