You are *SO* lucky!

I, however, have mail for free meds that will keep Flora satisfied for HOURS!    

I keep getting E-Mails from people in South Africa asking to become business partners and they keep saying that I'll get 30% profits from a *multimillion dollar corporative dealing*....

Same here...

I've been to Sierra Leone and I can say that noone in that crap hole has 9 million + dollars. And they're sneaky bastages too. We were evacuating personnel due to a rebel uprising in '96. We took a ship load of em up the coast, dropped em off and by the time we got back down there, we were taking on people who had hat's and shirts that bore the name of our ship that they had gotten on the first trip! Sneaky bastages, just wanted a hot meal and a free ride.

Unfortunately there are some who will fall for that....greed....These crooks though usually attract the hard up more often than not. And cases are now being brought to the small claims courts as a result of someone asking a friend to use their bank account to cash the fake checks or money orders.

With 5 separate e-mail accounts for 3 yrs I have not received any of these. Someone posted a link to scambusters in the forums...went to the site...does not actually stop them but funny reading on how you at at least get to irate the heck out of them.





It's My Secret

Yes, like the Yahoo scam. Has anyone gotten that. It looks very official and it said I had won $500,000.00 Well I of course I Googled it and found out it was a scam, but the guy got my Yahoo IM name and everytime I was on he was bugging me. Saying there was a 900.00 transfer fee and if I sent him that money he would tranfer the funds into my back account. Oh, Ya, that was a good one. I finially figured out how to block him.
Wow that was a pain in the you know what. Since, I have heard of a lot of people that have gotten it. But you know I couldn't find a way to report it to Yahoo. Strange??

The entire population of Sierra Leone wouldn't have $9.5 between it, much less the handful of 'poor unfortunates?' whose families have been 'murdered?' by the gov't.

When living in Tasmania, I was speaking with a refugee from Sierra Leone about the scam emails from these 'so-called' unfortunates, and she said that they wouldn't be originating from there as 95% of the population is living in such dire poverty they wouldn't know what a computer is, much less have access to or know how to operate one.

It's widely reported that 99.999% of these emails originate from Nigeria, and my conversation with the Sierra Leone refugee supported this. After fleeing Sierras Leone she spent 16 months in Nigeria, and while awaiting relocation she said that she noticed dozens upon dozens of internet cafes where scammers (kitted out with the finest Western clothing, mobile phones & iPods) congregate and pump out millions of begging emails. She also stated that these people ply their trade openly and without fear of the authorities and police....because they will turn a blind eye for a fee or a share of the proceeds.





They're not all that way...or perhaps wouldn't be if there were an opportunity for them to survive and prosper without having to steal/scam. The lady I spoke with (and I say lady because she is raising two children alone and has risen from the depths of poverty and the murder of her husband by gov't troops with dignity) has prospered from her own efforts, rather than through welfare or the good will/charity of others....

During the time I knew her (about 3 years) she worked 2 jobs to keep & furnish the roof over their heads, to put herself and both children through school and eventually buy a second-hand car. Now that is quite an accomplishment for someone who fled her homeland with nothing but the clothes on her back.
