I do wish these scammers would learn to write English.

What precisely is a "busnness magnet"?

Could she possibly mean "business magnate"?

From Miss Mariam Kenzo
Abidjan- Cote D' Iviore

Dear,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,I am Mariam Kenzo 21years old and the only Daugther of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Kenzo. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa.

He further told me that he deposited the money in my name,I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

Dear,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will
be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.Through my private email box.

Thank you so much and may God bless you.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Mariam Kenzo

The phisher who sent me this needs to learn to spell. Customer is not spelt "costumer". Clearly he is under the impression that I am a member of some form of theatrical group.

Moron!

This illiterate scammer from Nigeria is trying a new variation of the scam. He pretends to be offering compensation from the Nigerian government for the scams that have been carried out by Nigerians.

"our job is to protect Nigerian and the world at large from being defrauded by fraudsters."

He tells me that I have been scammed by Nigerians in the past.

Nice try, but I am not a moron and have never been scammed!
