I received this on my hotmail accout.
Does anybody else keep getting spammed?
And it repeated about 4 times on the actual email

My Dear,

I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish
of
God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and
reward you
aboundantly and you would never regreat.

I am a female student from University of Burkina faso,Ouagadougou,I am
25
yrs old. I like any person who can be caring, loving and home
oriented,I
will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more
about
you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time
coming if
you can be able to help me in this transaction.

Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior
brother
behind. My father was a king, which our town citizens titled him over
sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the
only
person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is
still young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my
father’s
wealth.

My father left the sum of USD $6.5 Million (Six Million,Five Hundred
Thousand US Dollars)in a security company .This money was annually paid
into
my late fathers account from Etruscan’s Permit In burkina
Faso.company(E.P.I.B.F)and Etruscan’s Gold company operating in our
locality
for the compensation of youth and community development in our
jurisdiction.

I don’t know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in
abroad, so that my father’s kindred will not take over what belongs to
my
father and our family, which they were planning to do without my
present
because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.

Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to help me move this money
from
the security company to your bank account, That is why I felt happy
when I
saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God,
you
will help me invest this money wisely.

I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this
transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for
handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute
control over.If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing
to
assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach Me Also For your more
investgation,you are kindly advice to visit this website
/www.etruscan.com/lsiwebsite/pbf.htm

Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to
commence
the transaction as quick as possible, I will send to you my picture as
soon
as I hear from you.

Yours sincereely,

PRINCESS KING DONGOSON.

Sorry, I just hate trying to read through the font codes so I cleaned it up and put some of the english error in bold for MartyJ to see that there IS errors there.

Just don’t bother with any e-mail unless you know where it is from so U won’t catch any viruses (Of course unless you are on a mac or linux computer)

Check out www.419eater.com for stories of revenge on these scammers. The author responds to the emails posing as a wealthy mark, then asks the scammers to prove they’re “legitimate” by getting them to take pictures of themselves in some hilarious positions, or even to tattoo themselves. He even gets them to send HIM money.

However, as he says, do NOT try this yourself, it sounds potentially dangerous.

Actually, it was sarcasm, but thanks for the gesture. I feel like I can get the full usage out of this spam e-mail now.

I wonder how anyone could go to the trouble of sending spam messages to thousands of people, and yet have such bad grammar. It’s perplexing.

King Neo is a lucky guy…

Mind providing the e-mail address so I can have some fun getting back at the spammer?

12

What you’re looking at there is known as a Nigerian scammer, they ussually register to random forums to collect e-mail addresses. They ussually promise a lot of money, but their goal in the end is to take your money and dissappear.

My advise… block her (if it even is a ‘her’) and ignore it.

One of my email addresses keeps getting spammed, even though I haven’t published it anywhere! Every day it racks up about 5-7 spams, the sender names are always the same bunch, even though I thought I had already blocked those… :frowning:

Random generator does that. If you have a number in your email, like Aligorith23 (at) hotmale (dot) com, it won’t send you spam.
