This pile of illiterate gibberish arrived in my mail box this morning.
Quite what "Dikko" (how very appropriate!) means by offering me "condolences" I have no idea.
He then goes on about investing in a factory, only to change his story half way through and talk about a hotel.
The block capitals used throughout this pile of shite aren't very inspiring either.
It is clearly a scam by a moron.
Regrettably there are people around the world who fall for this.

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

Konan "The Scamarian" writes to me about his dead parents, $16M and the fact that he wants me to help him invest this non existent money.
I always find it a little off putting, when sounding out potential "business opportunities", to learn that a person involved with the venture has been "poisoned to death" by his colleagues.
It rather taints the proposal, as far as I am concerned.
From Steve Konan
Medical student
Of The University
Abidjan Ivory Coast
West Africa
Dear,
I know that my message will come to you as a surprise since I don’t know you in person or met with you before, but I am of the believe that you would be obliged to come to my assistance after hearing about my situation.

I am the only Son of late Mr Frederick Drogba Konan. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast. He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business last year.
When my mother died on the October 1987, my father took me so special because I am motherless. Before the death of my father last year, in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of US$ 16,500,000 left in account in a bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name for the next of kin in deposit of the fund. He also explained to me that it is because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.
1)I am honourably seeking your assistance to provide a bank account where this money will be transferred to.
2)You will serve as the guardian of this funds since I am a Boy of 20 years.
3)You will make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the
money has been transferred to you.
I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me please indicate your interest.
I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after this successful transfer of this fund to your nominated account overseas.
Finally if you have any question as regards this transaction contact me so that I will send you documents of this fund. Note that the confidentiality of this transaction would be highly appreciated in replying soonest.
Thanks and best regards.

The "kelly Konan" scammer is up to his/her old tricks again, as this letter is repeatedly doing the rounds.
Sad to say, there are some people who fall for this.
Quite why that "kelly" does not use a capital letter for her first name, and the dupes who fall for this don't spot that obvious point, is beyond me.

This scam seems to be becoming rather more popular in the last month or so. I have received about 5 requests for bookings in my non existent restaurant.
They all request that I help them purchase a batch of mobile phones.
My assumption is that they acquire the phones from the hapless victim, before the victim realises that the credit card details given are fake.
Doubtless there are people in the world who are foolish enough to fall for this.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Allow me to announce you my desire to seek your collaboration .
Indeed I am Mr. Steeve KOFFI, the owner of a very big Company of export and import, manufacture... in Ivory Coast and due to the partnership signed between new collaborators and my company, I would like to reserve your restaurant for February 20th 2007.
I would like to be in contact with the person in charge of the restaurant.
My budget for this reception is 8.000€ ( 9.100 USD) planned for a cocktail and a dinner (From 6:00 P.M to 11:00 P.M).
I want the best for this business reception and all that is essential to insure the good progress of this reception.
The reservation is for 15 guests but if it is possible to reserve the complete restaurant there is no problem. Is it possible for you to give me the best services with this budget?
I wish to settle the payment in advance by credit card that you will charge directly at your restaurant and I would like to know if you have the necessary equipment for this transaction ( The POS machine).
This said I still need your assistance to have 10 Cells phones which will serve for rewarding the best 10 employees of my company. Cells phones will be put back to them during a trade fair which I will organize before our arrival to your restaurant.
Our choice concerned to cells phones which are not yet sold in our market .
We would thus want that you find us these cells phones in your region knowing that they will there be less expensive.
It is about:
NOKIA N93.................................................................... 10 pieces
As soon as you will have the quotation for these cells phones from a phone seller , I thus ask you to send it to me by including the expenses of reservation of the restaurant without forgotten the shipping cost of the cells phones by DHL Express.
To thank you for the remarkable work which you will have made to help us to get the cells phones on time, we agreed, the steering committee and I to give you a personal 1.000 € as personal commission.
To finish I let you know that the payment of our invoice (Restaurant + Cells phones + DHL Shipping cost + Your commission) will be made by credit card that you will have to charge at your Restaurant through the your POS machine as I have already explained it to you higher. Hoping to count on your whole arrangement,
I am looking forward to your fastest confirmation.

Here is the latest scam from our "chums" in the underworld. The scammer is looking for me to make a reservation in my restaurant.
Needless to say I do not have a restaurant, but he sweetens the pill by saying that he also wants some mobile phones.
All of this is designed to entrap the unwary, greedy and dishonest into revealing bank codes and account details.
Quite alarmingly there are people on the planet who are stupid enough to fall for this.

This is without a doubt the most badly written email scam that I have ever received.
Once you have worked your way through the assault on the English language, it becomes clear that the scammer is trying to persuade you of his good faith by offering you his credit card number.
Be warned, there is no credit card.
The scammer will use this "act of faith" to lull you into a false sense of security, and try to do the following:
1 Elicit from you your bank account details, and other personal information, so that he can commit identity theft.
2 Claim that he has "overpaid" you by accident, with regard to any deposit made into your account. He will ask you to settle the overpayment by transfer. By the time that you realise that no money has in fact been paid into your account, it will be too late.
3 Convince you to take other larger deposits in your account, which are in fact laundered money.
Avoid!
Hello Mr., Mrs.
I am Mr. ROUDAUT, at the time of the marriage of my son; I would like to reserve your restaurant for the day of October 30, 2006.
I intend to regulate by credit card has distance. For that I would like to be in liaison with the person in charge in load for the room.
I make a point of announcing that my budget for the marriage is 6 000 euros planned for a cocktail and a dinner (of 10h with 18h).
You will thus understand that I want the best for my only son and all that is essential with the good course of this reception. Also I would like to make a reservation for 15 guests or to reserve the entire restaurant if possible. Is what with my budget you will be able to ensure the good course of the ceremony?
I would like to ask you for a service:
I would like to make come from here October 27, 2006, a group of 3 people towards you so that they can work with you during the preparations (they will be occupied of the choice for the menu, decoration to be little and if required to make a simulation of the ceremony before my arrival). In fact, it is also so that you have physical people with whom to treat before my arrival on your premise.
However I would wish by the same occasion that you regulate the travel agency which is occupied of their plane tickets. I remind to you that knowing that this is not your activity; we offer to you a commission of 500 euros for this service.
It is has to say you will take on my N° of credit card an amount of 3500 euros as instalment (once arrived I will freeze again you the remainder of the amount is 6000 euros) for the reservation + your commission as well as the amount of 3000 euros for the bills of the team of 3 people of which I spoke to you and to forward this sum by mandate Western Union to the agency PRESTIGE VOYAGE located In Ivory Coast of which I will communicate the co-ordinates at the convenient period to you.
In fact, my company has a reduction with this agency, thus I envisaged there to regulate their tickets. I am currently in New Guinea for a congress and I benefitted from the occasion to take my son as his future wife with me for the choice of the accessories which they will need at the time of the ceremony.
Thus I am on standby of your confirmation in order to communicate to you my N° of credit card + the scratch date for the payment to accompany by an authorization which I myself will sign.
I ask you moreover to render this service, because the travel agency cannot will take remote credit card if not, I would have forwarded to them my N° of credit card.
In waiting of your confirmation, please join to me as of reception of this mail.
Very Cordially

Illiterate garbage, to be binned upon receipt!
From Fread Coulibaly
Avenue 16 Rue 13
Treichville Abidjan,
Ivory coast
PLEASE,
Permit me to inform you of my mind, Because I have make up my mind to
write to you this way. however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner
compel you to honour against your will. I am Dave Coulibaly, 22 years
old and the only son of my late parents Mr and
Mrs COULIBALY. My late father was a highly reputable business merchant
in a cocoa who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days.
Unfortunately I loosed him mysteriously,He died in France during one
of his business trips abroad last year octomber 2005. though his sudden
death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an
uncle , 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 late father
took me so special. Before his death on Octomber 9th/2005 he called
the secretary who
accompanied him in hospital and told him to call me,on my arrival to
the hospital my father told me that he deposited the sum of six million
US Dollars. (6 000,000 USD) left in suspense account in one of the
leading bank in Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the money in his name,and I as the
next of kin and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom
he said is in possession of all the necessary legal document to all
his properties.
I am just 22 years old and a University undergraduate and really don’t
know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer

Treichville Abidjan,
Ivory coast
PLEASE,
Permit me to inform you of my mind, Because I have make up my mind to
write to you this way. however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner
compel you to honour against your will. I am Dave Coulibaly, 22 years
old and the only son of my late parents Mr and
Mrs COULIBALY. My late father was a highly reputable business merchant
in a cocoa who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days.
Unfortunately I loosed him mysteriously,He died in France during one
of his business trips abroad last year octomber 2005. though his sudden
death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an
uncle , 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 late father
took me so special. Before his death on Octomber 9th/2005 he called
the secretary who
accompanied him in hospital and told him to call me,on my arrival to
the hospital my father told me that he deposited the sum of six million
US Dollars. (6 000,000 USD) left in suspense account in one of the
leading bank in Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the money in his name,and I as the
next of kin and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom
he said is in possession of all the necessary legal document to all
his properties.
I am just 22 years old and a University undergraduate and really don’t
know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer
this funds.
This is because I have suffered a lot of set back as a result of family
enemity and incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
Please, 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 question:
1.Can you honestly help me as your new family?
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?

Scammers are, in my view, thieving scumbags who should be locked away.
However, there is more than one "class" of scammer.
The ordinary scammer who claims that you have "won" a lottery or offers you a "business" deal is bad enough, they prey on people's stupidity and greed.
However, the scammers who claim to be working for a "higher mission" such as charity are the lowest of the low. These people prey on some of those in society who really believe that they are acting in a good cause, and who are not motivated by self interest.
Here is an example of the lowest of the low, this scammer pretends that the cause is a chartable one.
Scum!
Donation from Sister Faith for the Children of God.
I am Sister Faith Isaiah from Sierra Leone in West Africa but now living in Ivory Coast our neighbouring country. I am married to Mr. Isaiah a Cocoa Merchant in Ivory Coast for Eighteen (18) years before he died in the year 2005. We were married for Nine (9) years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for one week.
Before his death we were devoted Christians. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 2.9 Million (Two million Nine Hundred thousand dollars) in a finance insitute here in Ivory Coast. Presently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer sickness. Though what disturbs me most is high blood preasure. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use these fund-to-fund churches,Orphanages, Research centers and widows propagating the Word of God and to ensure that the house of God is aintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this Money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my Husbands hardearned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a Situation where this money will be used in an ungodly Manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the Bosom of the Lord. I don't need any telephone Communication in this regard because of my health.
With God all things are possible. As soon As I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of The finance insitute here. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my Shepherd. My happiness is that I lived alife of a Worthy Christian, whoever that wants to serve the Lord Must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be Prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your Reply willgive me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please Assure me that you will act accordingly as I statedherein.
Hoping to hearing from you.Remain blessed in the name ofthe Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Sr. Faith Isaiah

This assault on the English language arrived in my mailbox today.
Not only does the writer demonstrate a masterful lack of grammar and spelling, but she also demonstrates a masterful lack of originality.
The usual scam story unfolds; dead parent, a sum of money, a dying scammer and the Ivory Coast all rear their well worn heads.
The only touch of originality is the suggestion by the writer that she is thinking of drinking acid.
Don't let me stop you!
It is a scam, don't be taken in by it.
JENNIFER FROM ABIDJAN IN IVORY-COAST.
My name is Jennifer i am a Ghanain but i live with my parent's in Ivory-coast, i am 20 years of age and the only child of my parent.

But lateron my dad chased me out of the house by his self and later called me back after which i had spent three weeks with a friend of mine and we were living as one family again, but i am still thinking about the day i will die because i know i shall die some day.
But do you know the worst part of the issure now is my parent which was the only thing i look at and my joy comes back, i mean the only thing i have left died on their way to Ghana on the 22nd of march as a result of motor accident, infact when i heared about their death i knew my life have come to an end i mean i became so hopeless,
Emergen me living with H.I.V positive and my parent as the only thing i have left in this whole world dead, so i think there is no life to live any longer.

A certain Biros Affi writes to me today, with a splendidly dishonest proposal.
He claims to have access to $8M, lying in the account of a dead man.
In reality there is of course no money, but Mr Affi is assuming that I am stupid; big mistake mate!
He wants me to pose the next of kin of the dead man, who also doesn't exist, so that he can transfer the non existent money out of the country; in other words, he wants me to commit fraud.
He claims that there is no risk, well he would say that wouldn't he?
Were I to fall for this obvious scam, I would be very stupid, dishonest and greedy indeed.
I am not, I hope you're not either!

Dear ,
Compliments of the season and how are you today, i
hope fine. before i proceed i would like to introduce
my self to you.My name is Mr BIROS AFFI , a staff in
accounts/ operation department of A Bank IN COTE
D'IVOIRE(IVOIRE COAST). I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. I got your
contact from the world trade center (W.T.C.) regional
office in ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE the details of my
intention was not made known to them.
On June 6 2000, An oil consultant / contractor with
the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE National Petrolum
Corporation, MR KAFFAL AMMARI, made a numbered
time(fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at
US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million united states dollars)
in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally
we discovered from his contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE
National Petroleum corporation that MR KAFFAL AMMAR,
died in auto crash along with his entire family. On
further investigation, I found out that he did not
leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin
were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that MR KAFFAL AMMAR, did not declare
any next of kin in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of US$8,000,000.00 is still sitting in the
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
come forward to claim it. According to the ABIDJAN
COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE
D'IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to claim the
funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
MR KAFFAL
AMMAR,so that the fruits of this old mans labor will
not get into the handsof some corrupt government
officials.
This is simple, 1. I will like you to provide me
immediately with your full names and address so that
the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents
and affidavits, which will put you in place as the
next of kin to this fixed deposit.
2. We shall employ the services of an attorney for
drafting all the necessary documents in your favour
for the transfer. 3. A bank account in any partof the
world, which you provide, will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary /
next of kin of MR KAFFAL AMMAR I. The money will be
paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk as all the paper work for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my
position as a staff of this department, guarantees the
successful execution of this deal.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via
the private email address below or up. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand
the deal very well. Please observe ultimost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country.
Feel free to contact me on both the above telephone
number and email address for confidential reasons.
Looking forward to see your urgent responce.
