Not a VISA concern... SCAMMING concern...

Dearest one,Can You Help??

I know that this proposal will come to you as a big surprise considering the fact that we have not had any formal acquaintance before or met in person but all the same I want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in view of the fact that the security of life and possession is at stake.

I am Fatou Mohammed a 24 years old girl from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE but presently domiciled in Abidjan Ivory coast with my brother Hassan who is 18years old.My father Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed who before his untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation (SLDC).He was killed in our government residential house along side two of my other brothers,two house maids and one government attached security guard fortunately for I, younger sister and mother,we were on a week end visit to our home town As we got the news of the tragedy. We immediately managed to ran into neighbouring Ivory coast for refuge.

But unfortunately. As Fate would have it,we lost our dear mother (may soul rest in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.

As we were coming into this country ,we had some documents of a deposit of $ 28,500.000 USD (Twenty Eight million Five hundred thousand USD ) made by my late father in a security and trust company.According to my father, he intended to use this fund for his international business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately murdered.

We had located the security company where the money is deposited and we have established ownership.please right now,with the bitter experiences we had in our country and the war still going on especially in diamond area which incidentally is where we hail from .coupled with the incessant political upheavals and hostilities in this country Ivory coast,we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours Hence this proposal and request. We therefore wish you can help us in the following regards :

1)To help us invest the money into a lucrative business .

2) To assist my brother get a college admission to further his education.

Please I know that,this letter may sound strange and incredible to you but the CNN and the BBC African bulletin normally have it as their major news features .Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an immediate positive consideration and reply to me via our e-mail address.I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of the money you will propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above .please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still conscious of our father's enemies.I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach .

please get back to me with this my private address for security porpose

My husband is now getting emails from some russian bride for you domain. I am so tempted to respond to these and tell them I (he) is interested. I figure a man living with his mom in a caravan with no income might attract them even more so. Hey it could be fun!

Ahh, I got that email this morning, too. You mean I'm not the only one Fatou calls 'dearest one'? Damn, and there I was, feeling all special, a lovely warm glow... and she's been sending the same old spiel to everyone. I'm hurt.

Didn't realise my email address was showing in my profile... it's gone now.

I'm actually surprised we haven't been attacked like that before en mass. Hopefully Ewok is awake and he can deal with it.

419 scam

4-1-9 Schemes frequently use the following tactics:

* An individual or company receives a letter or fax from an alleged "official" representing a foreign government or agency.

* An offer is made to transfer millions of dollars in "over invoiced contract" funds into your personal bank account.

* You are encouraged to travel overseas to complete the transaction.

* You are requested to provide blank company letterhead forms, banking account information, telephone/fax numbers.

* You receive numerous documents with official looking stamps, seals and logo testifying to the authenticity of the proposal.

* Eventually you must provide up-front or advance fees for various taxes, attorney fees, transaction fees or bribes.

* Other forms of 4-1-9 schemes include: c.o.d. of goods or services, real estate ventures, purchases of crude oil at reduced prices, beneficiary of a will, recipient of an award and paper currency conversion.

What is a 419 scam?

The Capt'n posted a thread about it, but it seems to of disappeared now. He has dealt with it and deleted the content from PM's so all anyone will see now when its opened is contents deleted for spam.
