You think that the bottom feeders could come up with a few new names every now and then.The name David ” Jonhson” has been around the scammers circle for years; the only difference with this one is they don’t even know how to spell it.
When I received this one I honestly thought one of my friends had sent me a joke!

I could not let this one slip away, it is just too funny. Now the bottom feeders are trying to scam people that have already been victims and maybe a few others to boot.

Let’s see: ” I have tried to contact you in the past at your undisclosed-recipients email address but my mail was returned undelivered.” It appears that I am on some list and qualify for 900,000 USD, since I am a scam victim.

All I have to do is contact Mrs Kimberly MCcane ( she is some big shot at the IMF, West African branch). I must thank her for leaving her Yahoo.com.hk email address. I don’t quite know why she doesn’t have an email address at the IMF ? Maybe she does but it is very confidential and she will give it to me later after I have paid the Advanced Fees that I am sure will be required.

Hey wait a minute! Could this be a scam? Your damn right it is!

An open letter to “Angela Busco”,

Dear Angela,

What a sad story, I think that I will send my life time savings to you in Nigeria, well you say South Africa, doesn’t matter. Sad, sad story. If I sent a few thousand dollars; do you think that it would help get things straight? I am always looking to help the poor and impoverished. Personally, I could not comprehend how frustrating it must be to know that all that money is available and poor Angela can not access it. Would a few thousands help Ang?

If you can send me just 100 USD’s to cover the costs of my transferring you a few thousand dollars, do you think you can handle it? I know that the situation is desperate and when my uncle Tim tried to transfer 156 million, it was very, very difficult. We managed to do it but it took the efforts of many good willed individuals. Trust me Angela, I am one. One hundred bucks USD’s and all will be arranged, passports and all. Just send the money by Western Union and welcome to the free world. Tell willy-mama at hotmail not to worry either; when we settle all those millions, she will have a new home too.

Dear Friend,

I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this letter as request from a family in dares need for your assistance. (more…)

You would think that these bottom feeders could invent something new for a change. I must say that this lowlife is offering 50% nice touch! Come on bottom feeder, you poor B..
Get a real job. Honest people with real jobs have seen enough of your crap. Day after day you inundate our email with your crap, sad reflection of your mental capacities. Back to grade school, if you even went there.
One would think that recipients of your garbage may just be tired of your low life schemes and hope for the day that one can open up their email and not have it bombarded with the likes of the letter below.

From: Mr Abel Fouda
African Development Bank
Burkina Faso (ADB)
Ouagadougou – Burkina Faso .

Dear friend,

I am writting to seek your coperation over this business, Please due welcome this letter.

I am Mr Abel Fouda , the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the African Development Bank Ouagadougou-west Africa . (A D B) With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.

At the bank’s last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of motor accident on November. 2003, the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven’t applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00).with my positions as staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. The client was a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred into.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incure by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account.

I want to assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.

I will wish you to keep this transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safety in your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing according to the previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May God help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.

Please for further information and enquiries feel free to contact me back immediately for more explanation and better understanding.

I am waiting for your urgent response!!!

Thanks and remain blessed.
Mr Abel Fouda

More problems about mobile phone scams and worth a read; these bottom feeders will stop at nothing and our goal is to stay one step ahead of them. Take a look at this site for a good read
mobile Marketer and pass on the word.

Wish the bottom feeders would come up with something a little more entertaining . It is always the same old song and dance.
“Congratulations, I am sending you a few million, just let me know who you are and where you live and don’t worry about the spelling mistakes in my “undisclosed-recipients ” email. My secretary is on a business assignment in the UK and I have to get this transaction done as soon as possible. So just send along a few bucks to cover a few fees and your millions will be on the way. (more…)

Here we go again, just a couple more names to add to the scammer, bottom feeder list. This is just another attempt to syphon advanced fees from honest individuals. While they are at it, they will request personal information and may even try to steal your identity. Stay away from this one. (more…)
