I hope nobody would be gullible enough to believe it... I have received other types of scam via e-mail too and will usually disregard it by deleting it.

One souce that I usually frequent to check the authenticity of the mail is Snopes.com.

This seems to be a new one as I cannot seem to find similar scams on the site.

I get these daily like most people, sometimes I feel like replying with abuse or a witty email, but I know that's not smart. I suppose this makes me feel a little better.

Thanks for the link Hongyun. I think the Nigerian one I posted ealier didn't make it onto the site as even Snopes relalise it's a joke. :smile:

Why would Lt General Sam Edwards choose me for the lolly when he doesn't even know my name. :lol:

See this absolute tosh. :helpplease:

Emily Thomas wanted to share the following link with you: REMOVED

They added this message:


Hi there, it\'s Emily Thomas. You know, I tried
a bunch of different online programs before I
found this one, and I noticed that they all had
one thing in common: I had no idea how to work
any of them.

They all needed advanced computer skills or
special programming knowledge, or even a degree
in computer science! I certainly don\'t have any
of those things. I pretty much just knew how to
turn my computer on, check my email, and surf
the Web.

That\'s one of the reasons I like processing online
auction listings so much. This program really is very
easy to use. You don\'t need any prior training, skills,
or experience.

Once you sign up, the whole thing is as easy as
three simple steps. First, you log into your account
and click on the product you want to automatically list.
You get to pick from more than 1.2 million options!

I would like to know how Lt General Sam Edwards managed to become a Lt General with such atrocious communications skills. I mean, come on!! Can you trust this guy to be ordering McDonalds let alone air strikes or bombing raids??

And the UN wants you to pay $5.05 million dollars to the "motherless babies". Okay, apart from the scientific impossiblities of a motherless baby, why just motherless? Is fatherless not as admirable? If their motherless yet living with their father, do I still need to pay?

Also, any half-hearted government hack could find your name, address, driver's license number or passport details on any number of government databases.

Bah! With idiots like this, I sometimes enjoy stringing them along just so that they can waste their time and energy for a change. Accordingly, I have broken the hearts of hundreds of Russian women that have loved me but always seemed to have had some sort of financial crisis towards the end. Sigh. And I so much loved Olga, Svetlana, Tatjana, Inga, Korinna, Petra, et al.

Dear Simon,

Amazing stuff.

One wonders what you hv done to generate such popularity. I noticed one relatively new tactic discussed on a site I looked at ( see below) is using a ploy involving selling puppies, notably Yorkshire Terriers. An advance warning.

Despite the humorous aspects, the scope of the main topic is rather astonishing and sometimes tragic, try this –

Apologies for the OT but while looking this subject up on the net I chanced on this link which seemed too good not to share, even though it’s not Friday –

Dear Abdul. It is a 100% cast iron, stone cold fake. Unlike this one:

I am Mrs. Mary Susan Fredrick; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New
Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 1811 TEAL RUN PLACEDR.FRESNO,TX
77545, United States. I am one of those that executed a Compensation in Nigeria, many
years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over 240,000 while in the US,trying
to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was
directed to meet Mrs. Brooke James, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE,
and I contacted her and she explained everything to me. She said whoever is contacting
us through emails are fake.

She took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I
am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of
$10.5m Moreover, Mrs. Brooke James, showed me the full information of those that are
yet receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiary, and your
email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people,
they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you
to contact Mrs. Brooke James you have to contact her direct on this information below.


MRS.Brooke James COMPENSATION HOUSE

Name Mrs. Brooke James

Email:brookej999@gmail.com

Office Address: 13, Cole Street, Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that is contacting you and telling
you that your fund is with them, it is not in any way with them,they are only taking
advantage of you and they will dry you up until you havenothing. The only money I
paid was just $750usd, take note of that. Once again stop contacting those people, I
will advise you to contact Mrs.Brooke James sothat she can help you to deliver your
fund instead of dealing with those liarsthatwill be turning you around asking for
different kind of money to complete yourtransaction.


Thank You and Be Blessed.
Mrs. Laura Susan Fredrick.

Hi All

I recieved this spam mail today

Hello Dearest Love,
I am glad to write given the opportunity now, Hope you are fine. Mine is very tough over here in Dakar Senegal,But all the same thank God for your message was a bit relief for me.May God bless and protect you for me.


In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only two times in the week, its just like one staying in the prison and I hope by Gods grace I and with your help will come out here soon,we don't have any relatives now whom we can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war..

The only person i have now is Rev.Joel Micah who is the Reverend Minister in charge of the church in this camp ( CHRIST DE SAVIOR MISSION) He has been very nice to me since we came here but I am not living with him rather I am living in the female hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for female.

The Pastors Tel number is (00221-765-934-810) or ( 221-765-934-810) Feel free to call me through his number,If you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel, As a refugee here I don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.

I want to go back to my studies because I only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place, i have deposited my trust in you, and i have to make some prayers as regard to this and i am convinced by my God and in my spirit that you are the person destined to help me in my life,Therefore i would not like you to turn me down after depositing all my trust in you.

I have a special reason for contacting you, Because of my urgency need of your help i have to give you more information about me with the hope that you will truly help me as i expect,

Please listen to this, I have my late father's certificate of deposit and death certificate here with me which I will send to you latter, because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a bank which he used my name as the next of kin.

The amount in question is $2.3 (Two Million Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars). i have informed the bank about my plans to claim this money and the only thing they told me is to look for a foreign partner who will stand on my behalf due to my refugee status and the laws of this country.

I will give you all the necessary information about the money when i hear from you and will introduce you directly to the bank transfer manager for discussions because the bank is waiting for me now to present my partner so that they will release this money to me

So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to travel to meet you and live there in your country where i can have my freedom and peace of mind,I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend Joel Micah because he is like a father to me.

So in the light of above I will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and this money if people gets to know about it, Remember I am giving you all this information due to the trust I deposed on you.I like honest,understanding and God fearing people,truthful and a person of vision, and hardworking.

I will like you to call me, like i said I have a lot to tell you,until then have a nice day and always think about me, Awaiting to hear from you soonest.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Yours Lovely, attach here is my pic for you i know that you will love it
Anita
