Regarding Letters About Attending Youth Conferences in the USA:
Never accept or believe any letters you get to 'attend youth conferences' or other conferences that
are speaking about getting you a visa.
That is false information. Only the US Embassy in your country can issue you a visa it's done only in
YOUR country. You have to apply for them yourself, in order to go to any other country.
Most ministries having youth conferences would contact those friends on their mailing list,
not strangers they do not know.
Some scam letters are sent asking you to come to America and tell you that they will cover your visa.
This is fake. Many times as you look at the emails in those letters, they will be asking you to go to the
USA and then ask for the payment in Africa. This is crazy, and you should really pay attention and not
get deceived. Note: Whenever you see locations and when there are various locations involved such as
emails in Zimbabwe, and you are asked to pay money in Burkina faso to go to the USA.
Does this make sense to you? NO because it's a fraud.
YOUTH CONFERENCE SCAM LETTER:
This is a perfect example of a scam letter that many receive and it
confuses many in Africa. As you look at the email below. it's from
Canada. And the person in the letter is speaking like they live in
America. Why would a person in Canada ca on his email end, say his
address is in salinas, California? ca does not stand for california
on yahoo email. If you go to http://ca.yahoo.com/ you can see that
this is for Canada. Next, why would they have youth conferences in America and what does
africa have to do with 911? No body gets their documents processed in the USA by the Department
of State. This is so crazy!!! They send these letters out to attract you and then they send you
another letter asking for money. It's all a scam. This is a letter I wanted to post here to show many not to trust
such letters. And government ambassadors don't send people emails
like this.... Note: at the bottom he says God Bless You and if he was really from
the USA government, they don't say such things in a letter. He is no
ambassador. Ambassador of what??? ahahahha United states conferences of what??? ahahhaahh
A TOTAL SCAM JUST TO HOOK YOU WITH INTEREST THEN WRITE AGAIN FOR MONEY.
Thinking you will go to a conference in the USA. Don't believe it!!

NOTES ON OTHER SCAM LETTERS:
Lotteries are fake in email. No government lottery sends out notices by email.
No government offices send out any email to people. Our emails are being bombarded by
scams and many have fallen victim to them.
Don't believe or accept letters about people dying and they leave money for you to take
care of in transfer of funds, and money emails. Always delete them.
When a person is from the USA they are not going to have an Italy address, and always check the last
two initials of their emails in the scam letters. You can locate what country they are from on yahoo.
Be more aware of this and this will keep you safer.
Securing your websites from exposing your emails...
Some people prefer to keep their emails off of their site and only put a guestbook to contact, to cut down
on all the scam in their mailboxes. Many scams get your email from your site.Best to use a guestbook
where your visitors can fill out and the guestbook is set up to send all mails to your email. And this way it's
not shown.
Nowadays we have to secure ourselves. Hope that I have helped you so you an be more aware scams
Here is another example of a scam letter that is going around now.
Below my notes you will see a letter supposed to be Western Union but it's a scam...
Note From Misstecat in red: I always read the letters completely and check out the emails and the name at the
bottom.
I study them so that I can explain more to you to reveal their secrets to draw people in who can't tell the
difference. Believe me, there are people who think they are real.
NOTE: Western union will not contact a person by email. People who are sent money by another person,
has to go to the nearest western Union office in person, and share the code their friend was given by Western
Union when they sent you money.
And any time Western Union sends money to you, you know that person. Money does not come from
strangers....
Most people who send money contact the person they are sending it to. And the name of the person at
the bottom of this letter is Nigerian. NOTE: Right off I see Mr. Lawrence Eze who is Nigerian, and his
email is not western union. That is a sign of fake right there. and his email ends in be. BE stands for Belgium.
