From:Mr.Collins Thwala.
A reader forwarded me this scam. The main part of the scam came as an attached jpeg – presumably so that spam filters can’t read the text – or to stop me posting it here. I’m sure you realise that “Mr Collins Thwala” is just a scammer. He doesn’t have millions of dollars to share with you. He is hoping you will share YOUR money with him. If you make the mistake of replying he will start asking you to send money as fees.
This message is very important and is the reason why l have sent it to you by attached. l believe you may have received similar email before but l ask that you consider my request as this is not one of those fraudulent emails that even l have occasionally received to my email inbox.
Please open the attachments to this email and forward your response to my private email address as follows: collinsthwala@gala.net
Kind regards.

As I was quite naive in trusting this man and -honestly speaking- I liked to receive in a smooth process quite an amount of money, I followed his instructions by paying the UK bank: Charity Online Bank, linked at the HSBC bank. This bank asked furthermore much money (US $ 30,000.–) about a so called Tax Clearance Certificate, to be transferred to the South African Reserved Bank.
That was a point of no return, I refused. Up to now this Mr Collins is still stalking me with a question about paying US $ 1,550.– for his lawyer, to get all the documents which should stated my ‘next of kin position’ about the huge amount of US$ 27,000.00. After that I should be able to receive 30% of the funds.
I yesterday told him that if he should not stop asking me for that still everlasting repeating question, I should report him.
That’s why Iam doing it now.
I would appriciate to reveive your comment or reply or advice how to stop.
It cost me allready from the first part of this process -to the mo,ment I recovered the swindling- over € 8,000.–.
Anyway thanks in advance for your reply,
Sincerely,
Anske George de Boer
