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:

No one should have to endure that punishment for mankinds travel of the universe. Ive written to my local MP and hope we can put a stop to this, included in this post are 2 billion Klingon dollars and some pile cream. Act now people before it becomes an epidemic, good people shouldn't be sacrificed.

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!

    • Or use Epic games and get full games for free. lol Steam and their demos. Thankfully there’s competition
    • Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.
    • Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
