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

Great I have "won" yet another fake lottery.

This one only offers me non existent "winnings" of less than 500K EUROS.

Pah!

The email is so full of typing errors that I wonder if the thieving scum bag who wrote it was really even trying.

It seems that the scammers cannot be bothered to make their cons look credible anymore.

These thieving scumbags do not even try to make their story sound convincing.

They claim to be part of the UK National Lottery, yet the UK Lottery does not hold email draws; you have to buy a ticket, if you win you have to go to them with your claim.

Additionally, why is the scammer's agent based in the Netherlands?

Come on guys, you really will have to work a little harder than that if you think you are going to trick me out of my money.

Good News for you

If you cut through the bullshit of the scam email below, you will see that the scammer is inviting me to commit fraud; by asking me to pretend to be a dead person's relative.

I have a number of problems with this request:

1 I have no intention of committing fraud

2 There is no money

3 The scammer is a dishonest thieving scumbag, who should be sent to jail

If you are so stupid and greedy as to fall for this obvious fraud, then you deserve to get ripped off.

Dear friend,

Thanks for spending your time to go through this proposal, even though we do not know each other. It would have been
more formal for a transaction or business of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting
between you and us to enable both parties know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss
and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of both parties and appropriate shares accordingly.

requiring maximum confidence.

The proposition is this: A Foreigner, Late Engineer Al-Akram Bin Abdullah an Iraqi Oil Merchant/Contractor with the Thailand
National Petroleum Corporation, lodged the sum of $19.5 Million USD with our company. Upon Maturity, I have sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply, after a month I sent a reminder and finally discovered from
his contract employers (TNPC) that Mr. Abdullah died in war in Baghdad last year. Ever since no close relative or family
has come forward to claim the money deposited with us. Therefore, my colleague and I, who are the direct fund managers,
have decided to move/transfer this fund into a nominated foreign account, for future investment. To this regards, we
sincerely request for your immediate assistance and co-operation for our mutual benefit.

This dishonest, thieving, scumbag bastard is so keen to try to trick me out of my money that he sent me this scam mail twice today.

He will get now't!

My Dear Friend,

This communication to you is strictly confidential, with due respect.
Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this
letter from me, since we have not known ourselves or met previously.
Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the
urgency of it.

By way of self introduction I am Dr. Felix George, Husband to the late
Nigerian former Minister of Agriculture,Mrs Annabel George who was
killed during the Ogoni Crisis some years back. I am contacting you
with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently
have within my reach the sum of $11.5 million U.S dollars cash which I
intend to use for investment purposes outside Nigeria.

This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my
Wife and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar
Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my Wife's share
being the above sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian
Government has intensified their probe into my Wife's financial
resources which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the
revoking of all our business licences. In view of this I acted very fast to withdraw
this money from one of our finance houses before it was closed down. I
have deposited the money in a security company with the help of very
loyal officials of my late Wife. No record is known about this fund by
the government because there is no documentation showing that we received
such funds.The consignment containing this fund was kept on an "OPEN
BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the Security Company to avoid detection,
seizure or diversion.

Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to
my family, I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your
help in transferring this funds out of the sub-African region. Bearing
in mind that you may assist me, l have decided to part with 30% of the
total sum.

Please kindly reply through this email address with your letter of
acceptance and your willingness in assisting me to receive the fund,
also include your Physical Address, personal telephone and fax numbers.

Your URGENT response is needed.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Felix George.
