    Nigerian scam

    Post by aza1701 on Wed Feb 17, 2010 7:55 am

    I just received the following message in my inbox on this site. If you received this or anything similar, please be aware that it is a scam designed to get your money. Just delete it.

    Aaron

    From Sister(Mrs).Lucy Nwanto
    Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa

    Dearest in the lord,
    I am Mrs. Lucy Nwanto, from Sierra Leone . I am married to late Mr. Nwanto Richards, who worked with Sierra Leone Embassy in Ivory Coast for Sixteen years before he died in the year 2006,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (Stella) who later died in a motor accident.
    Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. And since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home because of the love I have for him .
    When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$700.000) Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast .
    Following my ill health, being a victim to cancer , I have decided to donate this fund to a Christain organizations (Church or Mosque) that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband. I want this fund to be used in Christian Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of god and to endeavour that the house of the lord is maintained.
    I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and do not know about this deposit . I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going.
    I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health situation as well the presence of my late husband's relatives around me . I don't want them to know about this development/wish of my late husband hence I want it to be fulfilled . As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan and would introduce you officially to them.
    My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life as well commit me into your daily prayers.
    Contact me on this email(xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx) as soon as possible since any delay in your reply will give me room to source another Church/christian for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply immediately .

    Remain blessed in the Lord.
    Sister Lucy Nwanto.

    Hey, not bad Wee'bit. I remember mint flavour and the story that went around that this brand made men sterile

    How about Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music. Much more homely.

    Alpine, and I ain't smokin'

    MB, whatever that green stuff you're eating in your avatar, stop it! You've got me and Weebit mixed up. (I'm the one with the good looks Wink )

    And I didn't take up that $70k offer because I got a better deal of about 2 mil from an ex-general fleeing Zambia who says he's related to a dead uncle thrice removed on my mothers cousins side.... flush smilie

    Ok I'm busted. My new avatar reflects my newfound employment as a male model. As you can see, it's still hard to tell what species...
