    Email (debora_demo02@yahoo.it)

    Hi Dearest One,
    permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you , l got your name and contact through the help of a friend whoworks in internet here in Abidjan and I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendation by the director for a reputable and trustworthy person l can do business with and by the recommendation l must not hesitate to confid in you for this simple and sincere business.

    l Am Miss Deborah Demo Francis, the only daughter of late mr and Mrs Demo Francis.My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on business.My mother died on the 20th october 1988 and my father took me so special because l am motherless. Before the death of my father on 29th november 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why?(1)he conplained that I am too young to be managing my life,(2)that I have not finished my university education as he planned for me,(3)no body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying, he still passed an instruction to me that he has a sum of US$8.000.000.(Eight Million United States Dollars) left in a security company here in Abidjan, that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was posisoned by his business associates,that l should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose ,that I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner abroad,that he or she should help me obtain a resident per
    mit in his or her country.


    He also gave an out standing instrution to the company that the money must be invest outside this country . and it was deposited as an atifact to avoid problemor tamparing by the officers of the company.before use, this is to make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. Sir, I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more. Sir l am honourable seeking your assistance in the following ways.

    (1)to serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will depend on your expert advise since l am a girl of 22 years.(2)to make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.Moreover sir,l am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as Compensation for your effort/input after the successfull transfer of this funds to your account overseas. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Hoping to hearing from you soonest. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.do not fail to reply me at my private box.(debora_demo02@yahoo.it)

    Yours Sincerly.

    I once got into the same situation as you mate. Tear up the cheque, and email them saying that the inland revenue are scanning and tracing all transactions in your accounts, they won't respond and that'll be the last you hear from them.

    If it ain't bust, don't fix it!

    lol ive had loads of scams... one i was believing for a while but was a bit wary of and then he might as well have put scam in the title...neways here they are:
    "Ok mate,
    Thanks for the mail, i want you to know that i will like to know the price is alright with me. i told you before that i do resell this bikes,import and export,local and international. Well i supplied bikes to a particular school in Ireland and the school administrator is making me understand that the school management has agreed to issue me a cheque as payment for the supplied bikes which amounts to œ3000.i will tell the administrator to issue the cheque out in your name instead of mine and i'll explain to her the reason for me telling her to send it to you. The reason why i will also want her to send you the cheque is that there is no bank that will cash a uk cheque in Russia. so all i want you to do when you receive the cheque is to go to the bank and cash it, deduct your money and send me the remaining money to the shipping Company in russia which the school use all the time Here is the director e-mail address *scam fun* feel free to contact them, Sothat he can arrange for his flight down to uk and come to your place to pick up my bike. Well as i told you that am in the uk and i will be there for about 4weeks for a confrence meeting and also on a contract proposal with a company that will fetch a lot of money for me.If i had enough money with me at this moment i would not be letting you go through all these stress at all, but i hope you understand my position at this present moment,ok? Sending the funds through western union money transfer i think will be the fastest way for him to get the money and quikly buy a ticket to and fro which amounts to œ2100, I'm telling you all these so that you'll know all what i intend doing in the Uk.
    So i'm going to need your informations to send to the school administrator to send you the Cheque as soon as possible.
    NAME..............................................................
    ADDRESS...........................................................
    STATE.............................................................
    COUNTRY...........................................................
    POSTAL CODE.....................................................
    PHONE NUMBER................................................
    pls get back to me if these is alright by you so that i'll know the next step to take,ok?
    Regards,
    Shawe.........
    N.B I agree to the terms,ok? pls when the cheque clears make sure you notify me so as to know my next step of action and how he 'll get the cash you will be sending via western union money transfer so that he can arrange for his flight ticket and the shipping Frim fees., You don't have to be worried i am buying the bike ok unless if you don't want to sell to me ok.
    Thanks"

    ^^^^ just...dodgy... i dont like them offering me that much, through western union or for when i ask for contact NUMBER to provide me with another free email account... bleh
    and

    "Hello,
    I am intrested in your advertise Product,I will want you to know that i got your advert offnet and i will want you to get back to me with your Last Asking price and also with the picture.
    Cheers
    Mr Susan Fowler"

    made me laugh when i read that email ^^^... had they read my ad they wouldve seen the pic and price... and im guessing they were a tranny?!

    i got another email but that never got through my junk mail settings... unsurprisngly only one of the above had an account on the forums and all 3 emailed me from weirdly named yahoo accounts... the forum accounts had no posts. The other 2 people didnt have accounts and all 3 people came from russia- wot r the odds of that

    hmmm tesselating frogs... im hard-fear my chiplets
  • my dad got a very similar one to this when he was selling his car. it all sounded nery dodgy (the guy had very bad grammer and spelling and also signed off with 'god bless you') so we were weary from the start. we followed it through (making sure we gave him none of our details) right to the point where we got the cheque (a fake Standard Times issue cheque) and went to the bank on the basis that we had the money and he had no bank details. so my dad asks to pay it in and the women dissapears for a few minutes and comes back with the bank manager! he basically said that the money would clear so you would send on the shipping money to the shipping company (or in fact the guy scamming you). then a while after he gets the œ2000 out of your bank account, the original cheque for œ3000 or whatever is withdrawn by the bank.
    so you basically end up paying him œ2000 and don't get anything in return
