How do they cheat you?

[fikko]

Dearest ,

Compliment of the season. I appreciate your concern and your willingness so far for assisting me, the most important thing i need from you right now is your honesty and trustworthyness. I choose you in this transaction, based on my present status here in Dakar as a refugee under asylum. According to the financial governing laws of this country, people under refugees are not allow to participate into monetary transaction or operate personal bank account with large sums international or locally.

I want you to understand more about my situation here in the camp, I am e-mailing you from the office of the Rev.Father who is pastoring at the church in the refugee camp, I have explained to him a little about my life though not everything, i told the Rev.Father about my communication with you and he permitted me to access my e-mail in his office computer twice a day, here in the refugee camp, meanwhile life is just not easy since I don't have any body here to take care of me.

I don't have access to further my education, no access to clean water, no access to good food here in the refugee camp, life has not been easy for me. I'm only surviving through the aid of the Rev. Father who is pastoring at the church in the camp, he has permited me to be receiving phone calls from you through his office telephone number; which is as follows:(00221 76-46-08-44-6) remember to ask of me Miss.Mary Samuel Doe the Liberian girl when you will call.

Moreover, I went into serious discussion with the holding bank where this money is deposited into, for them to advise me on what to do in order to have access to my late father's fund, the legal department of the bank told me that in a situations like mine, that the best solution is by soliciting for assistance of a reliable foreigner who can assist me claim, receive the fund and invest it on my behalf as I wish.

I then decided to contact you, hoping that with your advanced knowledge we can be able to work together, so that if all things works out for us, we can go into life partnership if you wish because i am not yet married. Though it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and offered you this proposal of mine of which my whole life depends on.

I will furnish you with all the vital documents covering the deposited fund under the holding bank, only if you can promise me that you are not going to betray me or sit on my inheritance after it might have got into your account, Please understand that there is no illegality involvement in this transaction, you are going to deal with the holding bank directly.I will send to you the contact of this bank where the Funds is deposited, for you to establish immediate contact with them for the transfer.

Finally, i am suggesting that if we can go into life partnership as time goes on which means that the proceedings from the investment in your country shall be shared equally between the both of us because i do not know much about international business and i am putting my entire inheritance of my late father to your care because i want you to be in total control of my funds as soon as the fund arrives in your country.Please i will like you to send to me your full data such as .
(1) your Home adress----------------------------------
(2) your full name --------------------------------------
(3) your phone number---------------------------------
(4) your fax number------------------------------
(5) your date of birth -------------------------------
(6)your picture--------------------------

on reply of this email will i forward to you all the contact of the Bank where this Money is deposited by my late father for you to make contact with them and ask them the possibility of releasing the money to your acount, i am looking forward to read from you.and After the transaction we will work for my comming to your country within 1 or 2 weeks time. I will be expecting your reply ,The attach file is my picture.

Love with care,
Many hugs and kisses!
From Mary !

I've received tons of these from Nigerian and other African scammers. I've heard about how some people in the UK were duped into sending them some money in the belief that they would receive much much more in return.

I've read of instances where people (mostly older) have actually fallen for these scams. Pathetic, really as they lost their life savings.

I get them regularly. This one arrived yesterday:



Dear lovely one
how are you for today ?,
I got you contact though this site, i would like you to email me though my email dress [email protected]

I am 19 years old gril, I was born in COTE D'IVOIRE , and I school in Liberia but I couldn't finish my education because of the thing of the world, I have no brother nor sister, I lost my mother when I was 6 years old I can't tell a story of my mother. I was living with my father but in the year 2006 I lost my father in Kumo hospital by 9.30 am

I must tell you the comment of doctor ,he told me that my father was poisoned, but I know that it must be my uncle that did it, I say this because after the death of my father he turned against me because my father had alot of money, he wanted to collect all of my father's belongings. my father's name is RICHARD MANIS who was the director general of cocoa export corporation in Cote D'ivoire

Now he has taken all the property, and send me out of our family house because he found out that my father had some documents of a deposit of 8.5 millions US dollars made by my name as the next of kin (EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND he deposited it in the bank here in my country. According to my father, he said that he deposited the money because he intended to use the money for his international business transaction before his dearth

Now my uncle is going around Cote D'ivoire looking for me to collect all the documents that covers this money , note that my father told me that I should not give it to any body or show it to any body but it should be the one that I trust who will help me to retrieve the money

Now I want you to help me to transfer this money into your account and help me to come over to your country for a new life.I will give you my pic in my next E-mail but we must do this with trust, please can you give me your phone number so I can call you and tell you more about these and I will also give you the contact of the bank where the money was deposited

waiting to hear from you
your new Friend

These people are lower than pond scum. Many of them have God's name in it. I reply to those and let them know that God loves them in spite of the fact they are low-life thieves. I get ton's of these per day and the new twist is the lotteries from Microsoft, the United Kingdom, South Africa, etc. just for having the e-mail address that I do.
