I get them more than ever and I read some pretty bizarre stories... check this out..:



Hello my dear,
Compliment of the day, I’m Mrs. Mary Jane Kalo from sierra-Leone. I picked interest on you after glancing through your short profile, I deemed it necessary to disclose this important issue. I lost my husband during the rebel attacked in 2002.

Before his death, he had an account with a bank here in Cote d’Ivoire, where he made a deposit of US$10.5 Millions Dollars. This money was for the purchase of cocoa procession machines and development of another factory, unfortunately he did not meet his target before his untimely death.

Why I contacted you, due to the agreement he had with the bank during deposit, I’ve been denied total access to the money, the bank Manager told me precisely that the money was deposited in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it for onward transfer into a foreign account. That the bank will follow the agreement written and signed by both (the bank and my husband). I was advised to look for a foreign account where the money can be transferred before I can have access to it.

Since security here cannot be guaranteed besides, I’ve lost my husband, I hereby ask you to do me a favour by standing as my late husband’s foreign business partner and the beneficiary of the money to enable the bank effect the transfer into your account.

I have plans to invest this money in continuation with the investment vision of my late husband, but not in this place again rather in your country. I have the vision of going into real estate and industrial production, please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Ken, indicate your interest in replying soonest. REPLY ME HERE: maryjane75@freesurf.fr

Thanks for your anticipated co-oporation,

Yours,
Mary Jane

Scoff all you want, but I would donate my life-savings to this woman if possible. Unfortunately, they were all spent in an unsuccessful attempt to woo amber@hotmilfs.com

i got one of those letters saying that if i let the queen of zambia use my checking account, they'd send me rare barnyard photographs of britney and paris that they didn't want me to see, so of course i sent them all my information and all i got was information on viagra and how i could work from home for $100,000 a month. i think this whole thing MIGHT be a scam.

There will be cynics here who will tell you so, but don't listen to them, Anx. Keep the faith!

i try to keep the faith, but i keep getting prerecorded calls from sally struthers.

Ah, like being touched by the hand of God.

I know these are a scam all the way through, but I'm still getting a bunch of them. My ISP ain't going to do anything about it, so all I do is delete them with the quickness. And I want you all to NEVER, NEVER EVER Respond to these scam artists in any way.

It's called the "419" scam...

i was just about to quote the same link.

It's funny I've responded to three of these and everything went A O KAY... Maybe somebody at the bank is trying to pull my chain but I have the deposit reciepts to prove the miney was put into my account... honest engine
