The latest scam on MYSPACE

[lilDevil 2]

This was in my box today


Dear beloved;

I greet you in the name of God Almighty.

I got your contact through prayers and painstaking efforts in my search for a reliable and God fearing person to help me carry out my last wish.

My name is Mr. Adams Mohammed, I 'm a 45 years old man from Malaysia. Presently, I am in London where I am receiving medical care.

Prior to my ailment, I was a merchant and business owner in Malaysia and Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. I was also married with five children. My wife and five children died in a bomb blast in Iraq where there reside four years ago. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I lived for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes.

I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in some African countries. Only recently, I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood of people in Canberra, Australia through Water flood. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a contribution on assisting people over there.

Before I became ill, I kept $20,000,000 Million in a finance company in China. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to the needy and other charity organizations. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the finance company in China and distribute it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 20% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you are willing to help, please send your full contact details like your name, address,direct email address and telephone numbers to my direct email address: ********@yahoo.es so that I can refer you to the finance house where the funds is lodged.

May God Bless you as you assist me in carrying out my last wish.

Regards,

It's not really a scam per se, it's really just a prank. There are over a dozen versions of this type of story.

What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

Are you fucking kidding me? It's the classic template of a 419 scam. Already the sender is asking for name, address and contact details, it's a fair bet they'll try and get a SS number later on too.

And what happens when they get someone on the hook - well he can't transfer the money to her without bank account details can he? Oh and notice the sentance at the bottom "You can re-imburse yourself for expenses incurred during collecting the money". Hmm, does that mean there will be handling fees? Say it ain't so.

It isn't a harmless prank, it is a malicious scam and it is big, big business.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yup, it's a classic 419, but these are typically an advanced fee scam. Wire them a 'small' fee to clear some problem so he can then send you the mother-lode.

In this case once you reply he'll start asking for 'small' sums to pay for medical perhaps, or to bribe corrupt officials in China to free the funds in his account. If you pay the demands escalate as each round there's just one more hurdle to clear the money.

Some victims get taken for 100s of thousands of dollars. The psychology is such that once they've been taken for a significant but small amount the victim cannot admit it and chooses to believe and send more good money after bad. A retired surgeon who lost everything in a Nigerian 419 never accepted it was a scam even when he was broke and the FBI was telling him what happened. He still blamed corrupt Nigerian 'officials' that the con-men invented to get advanced fees out of him.
