Recommended Posts

i got this today but i bet it's another on of those scams, wha u think? had anyone gotten the same thing?

DEAR ,

I am David Kabia, son of the late MOMOH KABIA from

Sierra?Leone,

. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily

to seek for your assistance to transfer my cash of

Ten Million United STATE Dollars (USD10Million) now

in the custody of the security and trust company here

in DUBAI to your private account pending my arrival

to your country.

SOURCE OF THE FUND: My late father, MOMOH KABIA, a

native of Mende district in the northern province of

Sierra-Leone, was the Accountant General of Sierra?Leone Mining Co-operation

(S.L.M.C.) Freetown.

According to my father, the money was the income

accrued from mining co-operation over draft and minor

sales, before the peak of the civil war between the

rebel forces of Major Paul Koromah and the combined

forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost

destroyed my country, following the forceful removal

from power of the CIVILIAN ELECTED PRESIDENT AHMED

TEJAN KABBAH by the rebels. My father had already made

arrangement for the family, my mother, myself to be evacuated to UNITED

ARAB EMIRATE (DUBAI) with our personal effects and the box containing

the money. My father deposited the box in a private security company

here in DUBAI for the safe custody until after the war when he will join

us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate

looking of public and government properties by rebels forces, the

Sierra-Leone Mining Coop. Was one of the targets

looted destroyed. My father including other top

Government functionaries were attacked and killed by

the rebels in November 2001 because of this

relationship with the CIVILIAN PRESIDENT AHMED TEJAN

KABBAH. As a result of my father?s death, and with the

news of my uncle involvement in air crash in January,

dashed my hope of survival. The untimely deaths

caused my mother heart failure and other related

complications of which she later died in the hospital

after i have spent a lot of money on her. Now my

myself is alone in this strange country suffering without any care or

help. Without any relation. Am now like refugees and orphan.

My only hope now is in you and the box deposited in

the security Company. To this effect I humbly solicit

your assistance in the following ways. To assist me

claim this box from the security company as

co-beneficiary. To transfer this money in your name to

your country. To make good arrangement for a joint

business investment on my behalf in your country and

you, the caretaker. To secure a college for myself in your country to

further my education. And to make arrangement for my travel with you to

your country after you have transferred this fund. Most important, the

security company official do not know the exact content of the box

because it was declared as family valuables belonging to his foreign

partner.

The whole documents issued after deposit is in my custody. For your

assistance, you will be

handsomely rewards, according to the negotiation both

of us shall agree.

Best Regards,

David Kabia

Yeah, if you get that worried about every piece of spam then you will eventually implode (true story, seen it happen - well sorta).

Oh and if your friends mum is that gullible, then she deserved to be taken for a ride. Not being harsh, but what reason does she have to trust. I aproach email with the attitude that nothing is trustworthy until it proves itself so!

lmao

I still like the original Nigerian variation :p

I have a copy of Roger Ebert's Boulder Pledge wher he talks about that one.

http://blaise.us/temp/ebert.html

Does anyone ever fall for the Nigerian ruse? Does the scheme make money? I idly tapped "Nigerian e-mail scam" into Google, got 4,480 hits, and discovered on the top site-Nigeria: The 419 Coalition Website-that as of 1996, some $5 billion had been lost to the scheme, and that the scam is, "according to published reports," the third to fifth largest industry in Nigeria. It came into existence in the 1980s as a snail mail-based operation and switched later to e-mail. According to a U.S. Treasury site, the 419 refers to Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal Code, which addresses (but apparently does not prevent) such schemes.

as long as there is a sucker born every minute, there will be someone ready to take their cash.
