pauln Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I found out about this a while back. Some shit has hacked all the users e-mail addresses off the site and people have been getting scam e-mails. This is mine. Hello dear, With profound respect and humble submission,I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration, I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hopes, joy and enthusiasm that I write you this mail which I know and believe by the faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health. My name is Miss Blessing Hanukah, I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Johnson Hanukah. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 29 June 2006. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of mine who travelled with him at that time. But GOD knows the truth!My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father, he called me and informed me that he has the sum of $10.5M ( Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand united state dollars) USD he deposited in a private Bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.. He told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary legal documents regarding to this deposit with the Bank. I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas who I can transfer this money with his assistance and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: 1. Can you honestly help me from your heart? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the fund has being transfeered to your account and i come over to meet you? (4) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to. Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible through my private email lucieguessan@yahoo.cn Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter,I will like you to forward to me your full contact information so that i will give you more detail and contact of the bank that holding this money. Your full house addrees ........ Your phone / Fax number ....... Your full name ........ Kind Regards, Miss blessing My private email: blessinghanukah2008@yahoo.cn Luckily someone on this site Vista was it you? Showed us how to deal with them and this is the reply i sent Miss Hanukah Thank you for your e-mail. Regretfully I have had communication of this sort from persons less honest and godfearing than yourself. As a result I must confirm the validity of your offer. I think the best way to do this would be for me to visit you in the Ivory Coast and discuss the matter with you, my passport and that of my wife (who will act as my private assistant) are valid. If you would be so kind as to book at your expense Business Class flights and quality (preferebly first class) accomodation (for a fortnight) I would be delighted to come and discuss the matter with you. I feel expenses of £200 a day should cover any sundry expenses. Please contact me as soon as the arrangements have been made. Your Friend with god P Do you think I will get a reply?
caprinerd Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 i cant see it happening mate but time will tell
Retro-gone. Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 i just put ... FOOK OFF DICKEAD. they dont reply
Admin Vista Posted December 18, 2008 Admin Report Posted December 18, 2008 Luckily someone on this site Vista was it you? ? yeah it was me. Doubt you'll get anything back other than junk mail but there have been successful cases of african scammers getting scammed themselves. The trick is to make it small amounts, some thing like saying you need to open a special account to receive the money and the fee is £100 then asking them to send that up front by western money transfer or something similar here's another good example http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/
Smudger105e Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 People are fighting back! I have spent ages reading some of the transcripts on this site. I particularly like the parrot sketch (thye have a video of it) and the squirrel that eats the statue. http://www.419eater.com/

If they reply i'll yank their chain for a while, if it's junk I will just block em.
