Yet another scammer who thinks that telling me he is from Nigeria is a good idea! Apparently I am “in a sick bed” and expecting $10.5m. I don’t know what this scammer is “on” – but I suggest he stops smoking it right away and gets back into the real world.

Meanwhile – delete his ridiculous email and don’t reply – otherwise you will find he starts asking you for money.

Dear Friend

Another scammer who seems to think the world is full of “trunk boxes” full of cash. All of which, strangely, seem to be offered to me.

If “Mrs Elsa” really had millions of dollars in cash, she certainly wouldn’t want to be telling thousands of random strangers about it. She doesn’t have millions of dollars – she is, though, hoping that you will send her a few hundred dollars – as she is hoping you will fall for her scam and start sending her money for fees.

Greetings to you and your entire family.
i want to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you, and i believe that you will do the same in your next mail.

I am Mrs Anna Jaime Elsa from the Philippines, widow to the late former minister of tourism in Philippine who died on the 12th of Aug 2005. I inherited a total sum of $12.5 Million American dollars from my late husband, the money was concealed in a metallic trunk box and was deposited with a security company services in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire, that was because I needed a maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body or government organization can trace the where about of the money until

I am ready and prepare to claim it. but the Security services didn’t know the real content of the box, because it was deposited under a secret arrangement as a family valuables.something intrested me most before sending you this email and i really want to chose you for this transaction.though i barely know who you are… but, i believe you will find it in your mind to help me out of this present fate.I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production.

My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in your country for onward lodgement into your account for the purpose of future investment with your percentage of which we shall chat on soon. I will send you the Authorization Certificate to call them in my next mail which is the Certificate of deposit that they gave me on the very day when the box of money was deposited under their company.

I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Mrs Anna Jaime Elsa.

Oh look – a scammer who thinks it is a good idea to tell me he is from Nigeria! Sorry sunshine – as my dear departed aunt would have said “I’m not so green as I’m cabbage looking” – quaint Northern phrase, which probably doesn’t mean anything!

This is such a long, convoluted story that I lost interest part way through.

As usual, all this scammer wants is your money. If you make the mistake of replying you will find a scammer asking you to send money for fees. Delete the email.

What a convoluted load of rubbish. This scammer doesn’t have $16.2m – and if he did he certainly wouldn’t give it to you – or me – or anyone else.

All this scammer wants is to get his hands on your money. Ignore him.

Hello my friend,

GOOD DAY !!!

My name is Wayne Haley, I am a war veteran with the United Nations troop in Afghanistan, on war against terrorism. I served in the 1st Armoured Division in Kabul. Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq, I have been redeployed to come and work in Kabul on the platform of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the European Union on the war against terrorism.

On the other hand, I want to inform you that I and my partner (Trooper James Anthony Leverett) have the sum of 16.2million USD, which we got from crude oil deal in Iraq before he was killed by an explosion while on vehicle patrol. Due to this incident, I want you to receive this fund on my behalf as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here and come over to meet with you. Since we are working here on Official capacity I cannot keep this funds hence my contacting you.

I guarantee and ensure risk free of this deal, I want you to know that we have successfully moved this fund out to Europe with the help of a Red Cross agent and it was deposited with a bank which the deposit slips has been forwarded to me.
I will personally authorize the bank to transfer this fund to you upon the declaration of your assistance. I just need your acceptance and all is done. Since the death of my partner, my life is not guaranteed here anymore, so I have decided to share this fund with reliable and trusted person than the funds lodging in the bank for no interest.

I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldier’s here in Afghanistan. I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived so many suicide bomb attacks by the grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible with my e-mail address which is my only way of communication. Please all I need is your trust and honesty to ensure that my money will be safe in your custody , Please dont bother about the transfer cost, the transfer charges has been taken care off okay.

Have you noticed how many African scammers seem to think that we will believe that the world is full of boxes full of cash! Haven’t they heard of banks and electronic transfers? Nobody is going to send $4.1m of legal money in cash in a box! They aren’t going to send it to me and they aren’t going to send it to you, or any of the other thousands of people who received this email.

All this scammer wants is your money – and he/she doesn’t want your money sent in a box either – they will ask you to send it by Western Union or some other transfer service. Ignore this scammer.

Oh look – the unforgettable “Caravan Marvis” has appeared again. When he wrote to me in March (see here) the MD of the HSBC BANK UK was apparently called “Mrs Joan Coal” and her email address was a Hong Kong based Yahoo mail address. Now the HSBC is apparently headed by a lady called “Mrs Roseline Wood” who is using a “luckymail” email address. Oh yes, and I’m the world’s next super model with legs up to my armpits, a mega rich boyfriend and a bikini body that other women would kill for ………… errrr, not!

If you want to know what/who the Obama Foundation really are – this is a quote from their website -

“The Foundation will seek to help those – worldwide – who still do not have the basic necessities of life such as food, water and shelter. In short, we seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors. The foundation is entirely the idea of Abon’go Malik Obama, in memory of their father, and is not dependent on the endorsement of his brother, President, Barack Obama.”

They don’t send out random payments of $1m. Ignore this scammer, who has no connection with the Foundation and only wants one thing – your money.
