Email Spammer with an Indonesian Name
The modus operandi is the same: losing money and request money transfer. The country of origin is the same: Nigeria. The different this time is the name. It bears an Indonesian (Javanese name). Possibility: the spammer either the same person with more sophiscated method i.e. using local name to particular people or they are just really an Indonesian who smells that spamming is a good business. Or at least, a good try to earn money the easy way.
Here’s the “money transfer request” spam from person called himself Sutikno Hardjosuwarno send to my Gmail. It’s sent to multiple destinations:
from Sutikno Hardjosuwarno <sutiknohs@hotmail.com>
to “yuli.priyana@yahoo.com” <yuli.priyana@yahoo.com>

It’s a little a bit awkward, isn’t it? If Indonesian send the email to Indonesian, there should be no need to use another language instead of Indonesian language. Just be careful to such a thing like that.
Mengapa Indonesia sering dikaitkan dengan hal – hal semacam ini, dulu credit card fraud sekarang spammer.
makin kere

naja orang indonesia …wah ternyata om dapat email itu juga yap.daku kira cuma daku ajah yg dapat
Iya email model seperti ini cukup mengganggu aktifitas..
ada-ada ajah nieh, tapi alhamdulillah gw ga dapet tuh,,,,,
waspada
We have to be careful about this issue. Indonesia as a nation which the people need to help each other with the friendship and brotherhood, sometimes is used by other people to do bad thing and harm the others. I think we should read an email carefully when it comes to our inbox.
First I began my internet exploration, I’m so naive to think that email like this one is a truly email hehe…few years ago, and almost send the money to that bank account. But, lucky for me, my friend told me that it’s a deception. I hope no more plain person get the harm of spam email.
Weleh weleh weleh…..
Koq nggak bagus amat caranya ya…….
Kenapa harus berbuat yang (maaf)naif banget….
Apa nggak ada cara-cara yang baik apa buat go lake do it (bhs Indonesia: cari duit) githu lho……
wah wah memang kita harus waspada kapanpun, dan dimanapun.
dunia maya memang seperti dunia fana, tidak mungkin steril dari kejahatan.
thanks
Nah ada lagi orang yang mencari $$$$ dengan membodoh2i orang lain, Orang seperti itu harus dimusnahkan tuh he…he…he…!
