Hey I got new scam mail today

Quote:
I am Mr. Chuckie Taylor from Monorovia Liberia. The son of former
Liberia President who went on United Nations imposed exile to Calabar in
2003. My father was extradited to my country in 2006 for trials of war
crimes he was accused of in Sierra Leon. He is presently in detention at
The Hague awaiting trial by the International Criminal Court of
Justice. After my father’s arrest, the government of Liberia seized all of my
father’s known investment and freezes all his bank accounts alleging
that he corruptly enriched himself when he was President. My father’s
trusted friends betrayed us by fleeing with all my father’s wealth in
their possessions and left us with nothing. I and my mother now resolved
to put our faith in anybody we can trust.

I visited my father in Prison early this year and he told me that he
buried Two Trunk Boxes containing Diamonds and Twenty Five Million
American Money in an empty septic tank in one of his guest house. Although
this guest house was among my father’s assets that were seized by the
government of Liberia. My father told me that he sealed the septic tank
pit with concrete and made a garden on it and that nobody knew about it.
My father told me that he did this because he had fears and envisaged
that his assets could be confiscated if perhaps he is arrested and now
what he envisaged that made him took the action of burying some fortune
in his compound has happened.

I am contacting you now because we got information that the government
of Liberia wants to auction the house. The help we need from you is
that we want you to bid for this house and buy it over. Then you will
assist us secure the money and Diamonds. The house is less important to us.
What is important to us is the treasure buried in the compound. If the
treasure is dug out, you will take Five Million from the boxes and
deliver the remaining money and diamonds to us. In addition, you will
still retain or resell the house as you may wish. The house is not
important to us. What is important to us is the treasure buried in the
compound. If you accept to assist us in this, I will send my international
passport to you and give you the contact information of the Government
Estate Agent in charge of the sale of the house. Check this as evidence:

First of all I did not visit the link and don't care what so ever and second I still don't care.

BUMP

It's my thread so there...:p

I've been wondering when I would get anymore of this junk and today I did. Four days peace from this junk must be a new record for me.

I just add it to my Spam filters and then delete it.

My Dear,
I crave your indulgence knowing, that this my letter will be a surprise to you I am Edward , an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr. Richard , who here in after shall be referred to as my client, he died as the result of a heart-related condition on the 11th November, 2001. His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his company in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf Near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET as reported on http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0008/23/bn.08.html
I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at (US9.3million) dollars is lodged.
This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest through my private email:leeedward01@excite.com.
RESPECTEFULY,
LEE EDWARD(ESQ)

I feel left out. My scammers never promise me that much cash. I advertised my old apartment to lease out a couple of months back. Got an email response back from a guy in the States who wanted to rent it for his daughter who was going to go to college for a year in Ireland. Had a good American name like Chuck or something but had a bit of a grammar problem when it came to the English language.

The upshot was that he was going to lodge a full years rent with a travel agent who would then pay it to me on a monthly basis. The first months rent plus a security deposit came to 3000 Euros. He proposed sending me a cheque for 5000 euro and in return I would send him a cheque for 2000 in change.

I was sorely tempted to reply

I kinda felt he never really thought that scam through :hmm:

The most my spam ever offered me was a college diploma, cocaine, penis enlargement and a Green Card

I hardly get ever any of it, though.













Spam. I mean I don't get much spam.
