ABIDJAN,COTE D'IVORIE WEST AFRICA
confidentiality of this transaction
Dearest,
Although we have not met, I got your contact through
the internet wed (www.scoobynet.co.uk) and decided to
contact you for assistance. I was, until recently, a
2rdyear engineering student of the University of Ivory
Coast, West Africa.
Early in January 2002 year, the rebels in my country
struck our township and killed my parents in one of
their attacks. My late Father, King George Marthins,
being the King of the Town was a prime target.
Fortunately for me, I was in school when the attack
took place. I equally lost my only sister to the
rebels. When I got home for the remains of my Family
and the subsequent burial that followed, I discovered
a document indicating that my late Father had
deposited some $17.5M.United States Dollars (17.5 M.US
dollars) with one of the security company here in
abidjan cote d'ivorie. This money, according to the
docement, was meant for the building of an Auto repair
company by my late Father.
Upon the discovery of this document, I try to Locate
the concerned security company and to make claims for
the said money as the only surviving next of kin to my
Father .
I have succeded in making the people at the Security
Company believe that I am the next of Kin and all the
documents related are now with me. I do not know what
to do with it but I have decided to contact you to
seek your assistance in helping me to retrived it out
from the security company and transfer it to your
account and help me to come to your country to
continue my education and so that you will help me to
get the money invested until such a time that I will
be ready to begin to use it. I am really desperate as
I am left alone now in the world. Let me know what you
want as compensation for helping me to solve this my
problem. Most importantly,I seriously appeal that you
maintain high level of secrecy and confidentiality in
the whole thing. I remain yours sincerely,
Prince Anderson Marthins

Nice touch - "money intended for auto repair company"

Facinating to read some of the web sites which show the dialogues between "baiters" (people replying to these crooks as a wind-up) and the crooks themselves. They will do anything to get money out of unsuspecting people, many I guess who believe these emails.

As for Scoobynet - maybe they are looking at using the money you send them to buy their next car?

cheeseboy

spyr0, do it and let us know how it goes! should be good for a laugh.

Wurzel had one guy going for ages! then the guy fecked himself by sending an unitended email to him... then realised Wurzel knew it was a scam and had jsut butt fecked him!

Hi Folks,

Firstly thanks for bringing this to our attention.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Scoobynet what so ever (as regards to us giving email addresses out, which is not the case). I can only presume, that it has been done by looking at user profiles (which are viewable to all if selected). Of course, what you do with the email is entirely up to yourselves....... but you can be rest assured that we have not given your email addresses out to a third party.

Regards,
Shaun.

I didn't for one minute think it had anything to do with Scoobynet. It just annoys me what people do [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I shouldn't have to hide my email address [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
