nerner Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Prank call the scammer, it is the only sensible option. It's probably a non-existent number as well. However if you do manage to get through please post the results here, preferably in video form. Also what sites do you visit in order to get all of these spam emails? I swear all of the topics that you make are about some sort of way in which people are trying to either spam you or get you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard14 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Good Day, My name is Mrs. Bridget Akosus Asiamua, a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity through any thoughtful and selfless someone, I got your information while browsing through the internet, although I am not comfortable using this medium owing to the unsolicited emails everywhere but someone has to be used to save this transaction. So, I honestly crave your indulgence to digest and do what I have to say, please. I am a 59 years old woman and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for. I have decided to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband for charity through you since I cannot do it all by myself considering my circumstances. I have WILLED/donated the sum of $3,500,000 (Three million five hundred thousand united state dollars) to you/Organization for the less privileged rather than allow my greedy relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds inappropriately. I will be going for an operation tomorrow morning and at the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, however, I already advise my Executor to adjust my WILL to your name as my relative and beneficiary to my US$3,500,000.00. Please, you and him should arrange the transfer of the funds from my Bank to your humble self, wherever you are. Please contact my Executor with his private E-mail: -------------------------------------------------- NAME: BARRISTER FESTUS CHUKUNONAZU PHONE:+234-702-3625291 EMAIL: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------- With your full names, phone/fax numbers and your contact address and tell him you are the one that I have WILLED the sum of $3,500,000 to, for specific and good work. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I do not want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. I will try and be in contact with you at any given opportunity. I wish you all the best and, please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Regards, Mrs. Bridget Akosus Asiamua Note: Dr Archer William is my personal doctor and I am sending you this mail through his email Yeah riiiiiight....

Struff Bunstridge Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I don't get these spam emails. I really don't. Do they seriously think people are going to fall for them? Aside from the usually horrible spelling and grammar, they usually have stupid email addresses Sad thing is, people do fall for them. The emails are free to send, so they can send tens of thousands a week - only needs a couple of people to get suckered in. Law of averages, someone eventually will. I've never had one - I'd love to have a go at engaging with some of these people and see what I could get out of them, like this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
