Got this in my baiting account. I believe this scammer may have been baited in the past and is foolish enough to be using some of the words he was taught by the baiters in order to put others off from helping them. Starts of as a normal 419 email, but then takes a sudden turn and it becomes obvious there is something wrong!:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real and you will realise this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.

My name is Major Samuel Kebelo, a direct and only remaining member of the wealthy Kebelo family and great-nephew of the late, renowned war hero,General Nuisance, formerly of the South African Air Force.

I am an astronaut with the South African Air Force (SAAF) and presently on loan to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).In 2003 I left earth aboard the Mars Rover, Spirit, along with my colleague, Major Snafu.

Seven months later I arrived on Mars.Prior to departing earth,I deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000 (Eleven million, six hundred thousand United States dollars) in four safety galvanized trunk boxes in a European financial institution which will be disclosed to you upon your acceptance of my proposal.

Last year, during the course of our research on Mars, Major Snafu and I were captured by a group of rebel Klingons who inflicted great torturous pain upon me with their throbbing anal probes. After a few weeks of enduring the physical pain, they released us. Major Snafu eventually died from his injuries and I barely survived.

As a direct result of this unimaginable cruelty, I am now very ill with a ruptured uterus. Sadly, my condition has defiled all forms of medical treatment, though it is my stroke and fibroid problems that bother me most.

I am writing this mail to you on my laptop from my hospital bed in the Martian capitol of Zhwrong.I now have only a few weeks to live and I am far too ill to endure the long journey back to my Johannesburghome. Therefore I have decided to donate the bulk of my fortune to a church or charitable organisation thatwill utilize this money in the manner which I shall impart to you later. In return for your assistance, I shallauthorise you to keep 30% of this fund for your trouble and aggravation plus an additional 10% to cover your expenses.

When I receive your interest via my mail box,I shall give you more details of the transaction.

Waiting urgently for your response as I do not have much time to live on this planet earth.

Sincerely yours,

Major Samuel Kebelo (Astronaut),

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)Elysium Veterinary Infirmary and AsylumZhwrong,Mars

I know. I hope people dont think i wrote it as a joke. I honestly didnt, i recieved it in my baiting account today.

It sure seems like a very elaborate joke. Maybe some friend of yours wrote it.

Or it's a scammer repeating something a scambaiter gave him :laugh:

LOL I almost stopped reading after "South African Air Force" but I'm glad I didn't.

Just wondering what you mean by your comment? What do you know about the SAAF? Probably very little! It is one of the oldest air forces in the world and in both the First and Second world wars produced of the finest and bravest pilots who fought and died with great honour! The earliest roots of the SAAF can be traced back to the early 1900's. The South African Air Force (SAAF) is the air force of South Africa, with headquarters in Pretoria. It is the world's second oldest independent air force, and its motto is Per Aspera Ad Astra (Through Adversity to the Stars). An official slogan, Through Diversity To Airpower Excellence, is also used.

Back on topic: The original post was pretty funny! Had a good laugh!

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
