My name is Yasuji Yagi, a merchant in Japan. I have recently been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, which has defiled all medical treatment. Expert diagnosis has shown that I have few months to live. The intention of this email is to employ the expertise of a business entrepreneur, who can identify a viable investment and guarantee reasonable returns on my wealth. This is to secure a future for my 4 years old son who lost his mother during birth. I cannot rely on his closest relatives any more, as they did not show responsible behaviour two years ago when I entrusted half of my wealth to them to invest on his behalf. They thought I wouldn’t survive the operation and then used the money for their personal needs. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of USD$60 Million dollars. I will want you to help me collect this deposit . To prevent any more mishaps, my attorney will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the investment. Funds should be split in half and distributed to charity organisation and the other half, as investment for my son. If this interests you, please reach me on this email address yasujiyag@aim.com to discuss terms and compensation. Kind regard Mr.Yasuji Yagi.

I am sure this if from Nigerian FedEX

For some reason I get the sneaking suspicion that this in not from FedEx but just another scam.

This sounds like a fishy FBI letter

ANTI-TERRORIST AND MONITORY CRIMES DIVISION

FBI   HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
J. EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING
935 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535-0001
Phone/Fax: 206-337-5630
This is to officially inform you that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has wired the sum of Ten Million, Five hundred thousand U.S Dollars ($10,500,000.00) into the United States of America in your name as the beneficiary.
The said fund is still under intense investigation from this office regarding its source.
The CBN knowing fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment  directly into your account, used what we know as a secret diplomatic transit payment (S.D.T.P) to pay this  fund through wire transfer.
However, Secret diplomatic transfer payments are normally funds related to drug/terrorist and money laundering system of payment.
The Question now is why must your payment be made in such secret transfer? If your transaction is legitimate and not related to drug/terrorism, why cant the CBN effect direct transfer into your account than secret diplomatic payment transfer?
Due to the increased difficulties and thorough scrutiny by the American authorities when funds come in through such payment process from Europe, Africa and Middle East and based on the records we have had in the past, such method of payment has always been identified as drug/ terrorist/money laundering funds.
However, in line with the United States policy on funds transfer, as soon as these funds are transferred into the United States, it is our compulsory obligations to establish the credentials and official recognition of these funds before final crediting into your account.
For these reasons therefore, you are advised to contact the United States Funds Monitoring unit, a sub-division of the US Treasury department for the certificate of funds legality. They are still waiting for confirmation from you on the already transferred funds which was made in direct transfer so that they can do final crediting to your account.
Failure to provide this document within 3 days will warrant us to confiscate these funds and further charge you for money laundering offense.
We will allow the funds to be released into your account as soon as you make provision for the essential document.
Yours faithfully,
Robert S. Mueller, III
Director Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Visa/MasterCard scam

Visa / MasterCard FRAUD
Just a heads up for everyone regarding the latest in Visa fraud. Royal Bank received this communication about the newest scam. This is happening in the Midwest right now and moving.

This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want..

Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it.

This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard telephone Credit Card Scam works, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself. One of our employees was called on Wednesday from ‘VISA’, and I was called on Thursday from ‘MasterCard’.

The scam works like this:

Person calling says – ‘This is (name), and I’m calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460, Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I’m calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a marketing company based in Arizona ?’ When you say ‘No’, the caller continues with, ‘Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?’ You say ‘yes’.

The caller continues – ‘I will be starting a Fraud Investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. ‘Do you need me to read it again?’

Here’s the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works – The caller then says, ‘I need to verify you are in possession of your card’. He’ll ask you to ‘turn your card over and look for some numbers’. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he’ll say, ‘That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card Do you have any other questions?’

After you say no, the caller then thanks you and states, ‘Don’t hesitate to call back if you do’, and hangs up. You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back. Within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we were glad we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card. We made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number..  What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don’t give it to them. Instead, tell them you’ll call VISA or Master Card directly for verification of their conversation..

The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you’re receiving a credit; however, by the time you get your statement you’ll see charges for purchases you didn’t make, and by then it’s almost too late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report.

What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a ‘Jason Richardson of MasterCard’ with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA Scam. This time I didn’t let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening. I dealt with a similar situation this morning, with the caller telling me that $3,097 had been charged to my account for plane tickets to Spain , and so on through the above routine..

It appears that this Is a very active scam, and evidently quite successful.

Pass this on to all your family and friends

A new twist on an old Nigerian scam

I just received this email and I just don’t trust Rev Paul William. As usual, I posted here for others to see and then deleted.

Dear Confidant,

I am Mrs. Sharon Crawford a Charity organization officer; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 1811 Teal Run Place Dr. Fresno, New Braunfels TX 77545, United States. I am one of those that executed Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over USD15,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment but to all no avail.
So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet REV.PAUL WILLIAM, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I saw him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.
He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of USD5,500,000.00 Moreover, REV.PAUL WILLIAM, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiary, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact REV.PAUL WILLIAM.
You have to contact him direct on this informations below.
COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name: REV. PAUL WILLIAM
Email: rev.paulwilliams190@skymail.mn
Phone number:+234-7070202543
Office Address: 13,Cole Street,Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.
You really have to stop dealing with those people that is contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.
The only money I paid was just USD215, take note of that. Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact REV.PAUL WILLIAM so that he can help you to deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.
Thank You and Remain Blessed.
Mrs.Sharon Crawford

How to fix Congress

*The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for

18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be

ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That

was in 1971… before computers, before e-mail, before

cell phones, etc.

Of  the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7)

took 1 year or less to become the law of the  land…

all because of public pressure.*

*I’m asking each addressee to forward this email to a

minimum of twenty people on their address list;  in

turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of

America will have the message.  This is one idea that

really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of  2011

1.  No Tenure / No Pension. A  Congressman collects a

salary while in office and receives no pay when they

are out of office.

2..  Congress (past, present & future) participates in

Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement

fund move to the Social Security system immediately.

All  future funds flow into the Social Security system,

and Congress participates with the American people. 

It may not be used for any other purpose.*

*3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan,

just as all Americans
do.*

*4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.*

*5. Congress loses their current health care system and

participates
in the same health care system as the American people.*

*6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose

on the American
people.*

*7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen

are void effective1/1/12. ****The American people did

not make this contract with Congressmen.  Congressmen

made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The 

Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours

should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
*
*If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people

then it will only take three days for most people

(in the  U.S. ) to receive the message.  Maybe it is time.
*
*THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!*

*If  you agree with the above, pass it on. 

I’m sure Mr. Moore wants to give me a million bucks

Social Security information
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
  
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION,was removed.
 

An old Social Security card with the “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION”message.
Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,

No longer Voluntary

2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,

Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000

3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible

4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent ‘Trust Fund’rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.

Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month —
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paidto the Federal government to ‘put
away’ — you may be interested in the following:

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gorecasting the
‘tie-breaking’ deciding voteas President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the  US

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That’s right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.  
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want
to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve.
But it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers

 

Lets withhold elected officials pay

PLEASE read and forward to all your e-mail contacts, and post on your Face-book page if you have one… This is getting serious

 
Dear Mr. President, I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn’t raised.
 
Why is it the threat always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay? …trying to scare those who’s needs are greatest?
 
Why not stop YOUR pay, your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country?
 
If that isn’t enough, how about withholding foreign aid?
  
Why use Seniors, Soldiers, & our Needy as examples?
 
Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits!!   
 
Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money….
 
Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt ceiling crisis !!!!!
 
If you agree, repost this & keep it going across the whole USA.

    Thank you

A PayPal Phishing scam

I recently received this e-mail which was supposedly from PayPal and

I was am immediately suspcious when it says I need to update my

Surprise surprise, Norton shows this address as a Phishing attack threat.

Therefore, if you receive a similar email, don’t click on their link.

A new tax on home sales

Received this in an e-mail and just passing it on!

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay

a 3.8% sales tax on it?  That’s $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. 

When did this happen?  It’s in the health care bill.  Just thought

you should know.

 

SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill)  Why

2013?  Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections?

 

REAL ESTATE SALES TAX

 

So, this is “change you can believe in”?  Under the new health

care bill – did you know that all real estate transactions will be

subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax?  The bulk of these new taxes don’t

kick in until 2013 If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be

a $15,200 tax.  This bill is set to screw the retiring generation

who often downsize their homes.  Does this stuff make your

November and 2012 vote more important? 

 

Oh, you weren’t aware this was in the obamacare bill?  Guess

what, you aren’t alone.  There are more than a few members of

Congress that aren’t aware of it either.

 

 

I hope you forward this to every single person in your address

book.  VOTERS NEED TO KNOW.

 

So much for the promise that “we are not going to raise taxes,

not one thin dime, for anyone making under $250,000 per year.”

IF this is incorrect, someone please enlighten me!

Secret Shopper, yea right!

 
I get the feeling this is a scam and so does this site

Chase Secret Shopper® LLC

Santa Clara, CA

Chase Secret Shopper® LLC is a company that conduct surveys
 and evaluate other
companies. We get hired to go to other peoples companies
 and act like customers
in order to know how the staffs are handling their services in 
relation to their
customers.
We all shop, and many of us enjoy shopping. But very rarely 
does opportunity
present itself to do what we enjoy doing and getting paid for 
doing it. Imagine
earning extra income just for going shopping and filling out 
a questionnaire!

Your job will be to evaluate and comment on customer service 
in a wide variety
of shops, stores, restaurant and services in your area. No 
commitment is made on
this job, and you would have flexible hours as it suits you. 
Confidentiality is
also very important. In most cases, the establishment is not 
to know that a
mystery shop is taking place. Additionally, the questionnaires 
may be protected
by copyrights. Often, the employee evaluated will be informed 
of the results of
your evaluation later and may even be allowed to read your 
comments. But this is
for management to determine. The information most often 
requested by management
concerns employee to customer relations, employee performance, 
product quality
or presentation of the establishment including cleanliness 
and convenience. This
information helps management to identify areas of strength 
and weakness so they
can take steps to correct the problem or potential problems 
before business is
lost.

Most of the time, the compensation for the assignment is 
established in advance
and paid after the questionnaire is returned. As a mystery 
shopper, you are not
an employee of the company that provides you an assignment--
but rather an
independent contractor. As such, there is no employee benefits 
and no taxes will
be withheld from your pay. You are responsible for reporting 
your own income.
However, you may want to consult your tax advisor as some 
tax breaks may apply.

You will be provided funds in advance for any upcoming 
Evaluation in form of
United States Postal Money Orders to cover wage and 
evaluation. Which you will
cash at your financial institution and you use the money to 
carry out the
Evaluation . You do not have to use any money from your 
pockets. We will provide
you the money for all your assignments.

EARNINGS
Pay can range from $200 to $300 per job assignment, with 
an average of $100 per
assignment. Additionally there is a stipend for purchases. 
The number of
assignments per day vary but if you are assertive in seeking 
work-and work for
several mystery shopping companies-you could garner up to 
20 assignments per
month. While most mystery shoppers consider this a part time 
or "hobby" job, if
you approach the work as a full-time job, you can earn 
$4,000 to $5,000 per
month.
====================================================
If you are interested do send in these information:

FULL NAME:........................
CONTACT ADDRESS..(PLS NO PO BOX ADDRESS)...................
CITY...............
STATE.............
ZIP CODE ................
TELEPHONE NUMBER:...................
MOBILE NUMBER:......................
OCCUPATION:........................
EMAIL:...........................

So we can look at your distance from the locations which 
you have to put your
service into, and your address would also be needed for 
your payments.
Great Pay** Fun Work** Flexible Schedules**No experience 
required.If you can
shop-you are qualified!
No start off fees is required
Must be above 18years old
Must be computer literate
Must be very honest and committed
pls note that this is a part time job

1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646

1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646

Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama’s looking out for your best interest.

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646

This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people! I sure hope this dies!!!!!

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 – ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it’s true! Check out HR 4646.

 

Check it out on Snope: http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/debtfree.asp

President Obama’s finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama’s plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar.

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution – banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged. ~If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. ~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged. ~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.. ~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy’s under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.

~Oh, and by the way,if you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it’s just 1%. Are you kidding me? It’s a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, “oh,that’s not really a tax, it’s a user fee”! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year’s banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it’s no big deal?

Sorry Mr Wilson, I am not keeping this confidental

 
Attention,
 
I am Mr. Howard Wilson, Director Unit United Nations Inspection Agent
 in Hartsfield International Airport Atlanta Georgia USA . During our
 investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat
 from United Kingdom via Africa under iship forwarder which was
 transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta.
 When scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal
 Trunk Box weighing approximately 55kg each. The consignment was
 abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the
 consignee as (money) rather it was declared as personal effect
 to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat 
inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.
 
On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more than
 $3 to $4M each and the consignment is still left in 
storage house till today through a registered shipping 
Company, Diplomatic Courier Service Limited a division of 
Tran guard made for Top politicians and Top Government 
officers . The Consignment are two boxes with weight of about
 55kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). 
Effective capacity: 380 L.)Approximately.
 
The details of the consignment included your name, are
 tagged on the Trunk boxes so provide your private Phone
 Number full address, name of nearest Airport around and
 other details. You can send the required details to me for
 onward delivery. All communication must be held extremely
 confidential. I can get everything concluded within
 1-2days upon your acceptance and proceed to your address
 for delivery. But I must get assurance from you
 concerning sharing 50%/50% before I will proceed.
 
I want us to transact this business and share the money,
 since the shippers have abandoned it. I will pay for
 the Non inspection fee with the Demurrage and arrange
 for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your
 address, once we are through I will deploy the services
 of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the
 security it needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it
 by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will share
 it 50% to you and 50% to me. But you have to assure me
 of my share. If you agreed with my condition get back
 to me immediately.

I don’t even know this person

I get the feeling this letter is looking for some easy money.

My Dearest,

 
     I know you will be surprise to receive this email, but Before I go further I will like you to understand that, I am writing this mail to you With due respect trust and humanity, I appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and i have a special reason why i decided to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my present situation here in the refugee camp. My name is Miss. Joy Kipkalya Kones, 25yrs old female and I from Kenya here in Africa; my father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong’a, in western Kenya. The plane crashed on Tuesday 10th, June, 2008.

After the burial of my beloved father, my stepmother and uncle conspired and sold all my father’s properties to an Italian Expertrate which they shared the money they sold from the properties among themselves and live nothing for me. Unfortunately to me I fined my father’s briefcase and when I opened it I found a document which my Father used to deposited amount of money in one bank here in Burkina Faso, with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso here I am, to withdraw the money for a better life
so that I can take care of myself and start up a new life and also further my education, when I arrival to the bank, the Bank foreign Operation Department Director whom I meet in person told me that my father instruction to their bank is that the fund would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee/partner who will help me and invest the fund overseas after the transfer, and the bank ask me to go and look for a foreign partner, that was why  am contacting you, which I believe that you are going to be honest and reliable person that will help me and stand as my trustee/partner, so that I can present you to the Bank for the release and transfer of the inherited fund into your bank account in your country.

I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinced me that you will be the true person to help me. Moreover, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmothers have threatened to assinate me. The fund my Father deposited into the bank, is ($8.5 USD) Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank here in Burkina Faso, on my arrival, You will also help me to place the fund in a good profitable business venture in your Country, However you will also help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can further my education. It is my intention to compensate you with 40% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. Now my dear as soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest and wiliness to help me, I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and wilingness to help me and also handle this transaction sincerely. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please my dear I want you to keep this as a top secret only to your self for now until the bank will release and transfer my inherited fund to you as my appointed trustee/partner. I beg you once again not to disclose this to any body until i come over your country because I am afraid of my weeked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have my inherited fund alone. I thank you very much and am expecting to hear from you soonest.
 
Yours Sincerely
Joy Kipkalya Kones.

This sounds so authentic

Dear: Beneficiary,

How are you today?

I am writing to inform you that we have already sent you the sum of $5000.00USD through Western union as we have been given the mandate to transfer your full compensation payment totalling the sum of $800,000.00USD via western union by this government.

Reverse pin numbers at ATM machines

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ON
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND         
EVENTUALLY KILLED; AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG 
PIN TO HER ATM CARD. IF SHE KNEW THE METHOD BELOW, SHE COULD 
HAVE BEEN  SAVED. SO I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT  ENOUGH TO 
LET YOU KNOW.
IF YOU SHOULD EVER BE FORCED BY A ROBBER TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM 
AN ATM MACHINE, YOU CAN NOTIFY THE POLICE BY ENTERING YOUR PIN 
# IN REVERSE.
FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR PIN NUMBER IS 1234 THEN YOU WOULD PUT IN 
4321.
THE ATM RECOGNIZES THAT YOUR PIN NUMBER IS BACKWARDS FROM THE 
ATM CARD YOU PLACED IN THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WILL STILL GIVE 
YOU THE MONEY YOU REQUESTED, BUT UNKNOWN TO THE ROBBER, THE 
POLICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISPATCHED TO HELP YOU.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RECENTLY BROADCAST ON FOX TV AND IT STATES 
THAT IT IS SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.

Email

NOTE: THIS E-MAIL IS VERY CONFIDENTIAL AND SHOULD BE KEPT HIGHLY SECRETIVE FROM ANY THIRD PARTY.

LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE

A politician was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he
turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if
you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the
total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
” Oh, I don’t know,” said the politician. “How about global warming,
universal health care, or stimulus packages?” as he smiled smugly.

“OK,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics, but let me ask you a
question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff –
grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat
patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence,
thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to
discuss global warming, universal health care, or the economy, when you don’t
know shit?”

And then she went back to reading her book

I have read about these Usama scams

I have read that scammers and malware would use the death of Bin Laden to advance their agenda. I have a feeling this is one of them.

This is the email address used to send out this letter  (megaprjan@overdailyshore.com) It sure don’t look like an address Google earth would use.

No thanks Emily

My Dear,
I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be
asking why I have decided to chose you amongst the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say
why I have chosen you but do not be worried for I saw your profile on the Internet, which has made me accomplish
my request. May the almighty God bless and see you through with this mission if you can carefully read and digest
the message below.
Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I am Mother Emilly Olivier, 87 Years old
woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT
14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva. Please see site below for more information.
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html
After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now that I am old and weak I have decided to
spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business
life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to donate half of what we
have worked for to the less privilege and charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close
friends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with me and I am very weak and old
now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I.
Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes and to some of the less privilege
in different countries. Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also
agreed to render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to the fact when we were still young
in life we receive an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know
till date, the impact we got from such gesture made us to do same.
I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the
assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary
of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting
our offer that will cost you nothing.
I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of £360, 000.00 British Pounds with FAST WAY COURIERS EXPRESS to
deliver to you, what you have to do now is to contact them as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your
package to you because of the expiring date.
I only made the deposit with your EMAIL ADDRESS and SECURITY KEEPING CODE (SCT/0433/F) because I do not know your
name and the address you would want to receive the parcel with. I couldn\’t find them on net while browsing your
profile if not I would have given it to them for immediate and fast delivery of this parcel to you.
For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of
the cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.
You have to contact the FAST WAY COURIERS EXPRESS now for the delivery of the cheque with this information bellow;
CONTACT PERSON: Mr. George Greg
Email Address:georgegreg@hotmail.co.uk
Telephone: Tel: +447024054918
Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charge, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of
the Cheque because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is 165 British Pounds for
the security keeping of the cheque so far.
I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don\’t know when you will be
contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost.
You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.
Postal address;
Full Names:
Direct telephone number;
Below is the security keeping code: (SCT/0433/F) of the draft, you are to also present it to them for verification
before delivery.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember
to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in receiving their security keeping fee of 165 British
Pounds for their immediate action.
Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to do is, When you get this fund, use ONLY
£110,000.00 British Pounds (One hundred and Ten thousand British pounds) for your effort and USE THE REST OF THIS
FUND FOR CHARITY PORPOSE IN THE WAY IT WILL PLEASE HUMANITY.
Yours Faithfully
Mrs. Emilly Olivier Jackman
