    Had the first e mail last night so I duely replied, attaching 2 downloads.

    One with the recipe for mustard seed gravy and the other, an adobe file on how to claim a vat refund from hm customs.

    Yet today she sends me 2 pictures of herself and acts as if my last nights behaviour was that of a sane person:DOH:

    Hello,

    Thanks so much for your reply.

    Although you may wonder why am so soon giving in myself to you, it is because I urgently need your help to stand as my trustee for transferring of the money to your account. On my arrival to clear the money from the account, the Branch Manager of the Bank told me that the law of Burkina Faso does not authorize my refugee status to clear the money, open a resident/ none resident bank account or transfer to an account. He advised me to seek for a trustee to stand on my behalf and carry out the operation. I wanted to inform my uncle about the deposited money but am afraid to tell him because of his greediness and wickedness. He deceived me that payment for my mother's estate in Morocco which we sold to one Chinese has not yet been confirmed of which we have sign and delivered the documents relating to the selling of the properties to the Chinese. I contacted the Chinese and he confirmed that payment of the estate was made immediately after the agreement was delivered to his lawyer. I was very annoyed and confronted my uncle for betraying my trust. I have sued him to the court of law so as to have my share of the money but the case is still pending. He has been arranging to assassinate me before one of his closest friend revealed his plan to me and ask me to leave for another Country since the case is still pending at the Court.

    Right now, I am staying in the mission and I haven't a personal telephone number or mobile phone to be reached. But if you wish to call me on phone, I can be reach through the mission telephone number 00226 78665273. Please if you call, tell Reverend Andrew Kaunda that you want to speak with Miss Dina Aden Ali who is staying at the Female Block "A". I have good moral behavior. I am simple, easygoing, cheerful, kind, caring, lovely, natural and love to learn more about people. Please I will like you to tell me more about yourself. I have good physical and emotional state of health. No stress and no sickness. I love everyone both low, middle and high class. I can stay and play with anyone. But love to maintain respect and order.

    My greedy and wicked uncle has seized all my traveling documents including my passport when he discovered that I am planing to travel to Europe. But I have the Bank account details which I will send to you so that you will use the information to contact the bank as my trustee and ask them to transfer the money into your Bank account. Please, I will need the following details to notify the bank about you in case when you contact them for the transfer of the money to your account.

    1. Full name
    2. Address
    3. Age
    4 Marital Status
    5. Occupation
    6. direct Telephone number


    As soon as I receive the information, I will give you the bank account number and contact of the Bank so that you will stand as my trustee and contact them on my behalf for transfer of the money to your Bank account.

    Please I want you to keep this transaction secret for security reasons as my uncle is searching for my where about. Therefore, I want everything to remain between I and you only till the bank transfer the money to your bank account. Then I will relocate to your Country where I intend to live and spend all the rest of my life.


    Thanks a lot in anticipation of your quick response .

    Sincerely yours,
    Dina

    Don't worry Marley, I usually send them downloads of fish & numbers that look like sort codes and account numbers that are just made up. They normally just give up after that. Sorry to hear about your friend getting scammed.

    Whats the biggest file I can attach to an e mail, apart from this one of course.

    I was thinking of attaching you tube to it.

    Not just a video, but You Tube itself.

    Wonder how much that would cost to download in a cyber café ?

    I like your technique Ziggy!:dbgrtmb:

    There a brilliant series of programs on Radio 4 "The Bob Servant Emails" and they are an absolute hoot. Each program is in the form of an Email dialogue between Bob and the latest scammer with Bob leading the scammer up the garden path. Highly entertaining, we usually listen to them in bed on Wednesday nights and kill ourselves laughing.

    You can listen to the last broadcast and see the schedule here >

    Cheers for that Dave.

    Is he the one that took a junk call & told them they'd dialed a murder scene ?

    That one was great.

    Armandii, you didn't see the pictures she sent. Didn't open them as they may be infected, but looking at the small view, shes a babe. Only its probably not her, i'm probably talking to a battle hardened scar faced bloke with a machetti in one hand and a grenade in the other.

    Hold on though..... How would he type:what::scratch:

    Looking back thru the script, she doesn't even know what country i'm in, otherwise she wouldn't be saying "Your Country"

    I wouldn't put any faith in the picture, Ziggy, "she" is probably a 350lbs mountain and looks like one of my old girl girlfriends,[perish the thought, shudder, shudder!] If he is like you think he was probably typing with the butt end of his AK47.

    Sounds like a nice girl to me.

    Ask for her address and I'll visit her next time I'm in Ouagadougou.

    [size=large]If somebody would take an interest in Nigerians to understand why they do all these scams maybe we would find out that they are not some monsters. But it is: having the time...[/size]

    Sorry, Miraflores, I can't agree with you about this. They do these scams because they thing they can make money out of the mugs.

    Actually, this lot are from Burkina Faso so it looks as though the scams are spreading outwards from Nigeria. It obviously pays well. A few years ago they calculated (from reported cases) that it cost people in this country over 200 million pounds a year. It just amazes me how gullible, and greedy, people are.

    They play on people's avariciousness.
