I wasbrought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband fortwenty years without a child. My husband died in a fatal motor accident. Sincehis death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings anddeposited all the sumof $23 million dollars and Two Trunk Box (Family valuables/Personal Jewelries)with a Private Bank & Securities. Presently, this money is still with themPresently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been under goingtreatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and mydoctors have told me that I have months or year to live, but all depend on myability to respond to the new treatment that will be prescribed. My wish is forthe money to be distributed each year among the charity organization and themotherless babies home where I come from I want a God fearing person, to alsouse this money to fund foundation for children suffering from cancer,orphanages. I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time willsoon be up. I will require some of your details like your full Name/address,age, personal email, occupation i no i cannot speak with you on phone but iwill keep it and introduce you to the Bankwere i kept the funds, i will give you all the documents, deposit secretQuestion/answer and my pictures as soon as you agree to help me fulfil my wishand take care of those children with illness and orphans.I await your speedyreply.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This has been a very thriving "business" for many, many years. I used to receive them in the 70's by mail - hand-written on airmail paper, in the 80's and early 90's by fax, then - cheapest and most effective of all - by email. And there are actually quite a number of people every year who fall for it! Some of them end up losing all their savings, some go to jail because the embezzled company money, and some even lose their lives when trying to meet with these criminals.

-pops- Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Pat, you omitted Telex in your list.I knew someone who was caught by a Telex scam - just the same as the current email ones. This person really should have been wiser - he was a qualified accountant and company secretary (director). He took many thousands of £££££ from the company as he was too dim to realise what was going on.He's out of prison now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I only ever received one of these by telex. I don't think telex was very popular, because you could identify the sender with the telex code (address? I don't remember exactly).Nevertheless, it appears from your story that it seemed to have worked anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is just one of three I have received in two day's. The people who actually fall for these scams really must be kicking their own backsides by now.It's as bad as the one I received from a South African Barrister who told me that my dear Uncle George had died, and that I was his closest living relative. George had left $250.000.000 in his Will to me as the rest of his family had died with him in the car crash. This Barrister only needed £10.000 and my Bank details to start the claim process going. Poor Uncle George. I wonder who the hell he was. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The123king Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The best ones are when you get emails from banks you don't even have accounts with. Sadly people do fall into these scams, but that's what you get for not being careful :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B)Most letters do the same thing, if they are read by the recipients brain rather than just the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
