Stupid Punts!

Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Friday, June 11, 2004

I have a feeling that this person has written to me before, under a different guise.

The opening line "Dear respectful one" is the giveaway.

Anyway, this time the con revolves around the alleged daughter of the chairman of the Sierra Leonean National Diamond & Gold Corporation.

Guess what?

He's dead!

Assassinated along with the writer's two kid brothers. I wonder how many dead bodies I've been told about in these scam letters?, must be quite a pile by now.

Needless to say there is a box containing money, $18M to be precise. I am offered a share of this non existent money; in return for various services that I must perform, such as "wise investment" advice.

As with all of these, it is a con; there is no money.

Dear Respectful one,

I am MISS ROSE Adoh,I am 21 years old and
SierraLeonean, and the only daugther of Late DR. Tony
Adoh of blessed memory. My late father was the
chairman of Sierra Leonean National Diamond & Gold
Corporation. My father was killed along with my two
kid brothers in our Freetown residence while I was
away. They were assassinated by rebels led by Major
Johnny Paul Koromah because my family never supported
the way Major Johnny Paul Koromah and his splinter
group overthrew our legitimate President, Alhaji Ahmed
Tejan Kabbah and forced him to exile.

After the assassination of my father and brothers,
when the African
Peace Keeping Forces(ECOMOG) soldiers were in control
of my village
"Mende", I left my hideout in my village. When I was
searching for some
information in our family villa, I found the key of my
father's underground
strong room and discovered some documents also notes
that he made a
deposited of one metallic box containing Eigtheen
million US Dollars
(US$18,000,000.00)in a private security company and he
deposited it as
family valuables not as money for security reasons
best known to him.

Meanwhile, I made an arrangement with a fisherman that
operates a
fishing trawller boat who smuggled me out throughWest
African coast water to Abidjan, CôteD’Ivoire, and
Ihave search for the security company and they told me
that my late father family valuables is still with
them. I now decieded to look for a trustworthy and
reliable foreign partner who will assist
me to move this money to his country or any place of
his choice for investment.

I suggest offering you (10%) of the total money if you
will assist me
to have this transaction done.

(1) You will help me provide a lucrative business
where this money will
be wisely invested.

(2) To help me to secure a permanent residence permit
as I would love
to spend the rest of my life doing business overseas.

Meanwhile, I want to leave Côte d’Ivoire entirely with
this money for
investment in your country because of the unstable
political situation
and mostly for the future of my life. I want you to
please assist me to
claim the box from their affiliate in Europe. Because
of the political problem here I instructe the Security
Company to transfer the consignment to their branch
office in Europe for safe keeping.

So the consignment is now in Europe. Every other
information needed will be given to you on request.
Note: that your urgent assistance is
needed tofacilitate this transaction. For confidential
purpose, you should handle this
transaction with utmost secrecy which it demands.
Looking forward tohearing from you soon.

Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response.

God bless you.

Sincerely,

MISS ROSE Adoh.
