Scam Letters from Africa now arriving by Fax

Post by jake75 »

Got one today by fax - just like the emails. 10.5 mil that they will share with me etc.While I was instructed that this matter should be handled with total and absolute confidentiality even if I was not willing to help them, I am taking this risk of letter my fellow genvibers know. Hey, if you want to try for a share of this 10.5 mil send the guy an email at j_mngomeni@hotmail.com.

inform the FBI they have a huge investigation on this.Personally I say put in some SEALS in where these people are, take them out. Easy solution.

Given that I won this lottery 5 times already in the last 2 months, I figure I should share with my fellow vibers.... Not sure why they thought a doctor would waste his time with the lottery comission... or why I keep wining the BRITISH lottery since I never set foot there....Dr. Paul Wilberte-mail: pl.wilbert@e-bingopromo.comTel/Fax: (+44)0870-134-4863 The complete email is so bad it's funny.

Let me guess...lots of grammatical errors and heavy on the use of words like 'cheers' and 'regards'.

My instincts sniffed it was bogus right away, the stupid ex wanted me to believe it. P.S.: you might want to redo your work sig...before they get deleted Even Keith O. signs off (at least our airings of him does) with 'good night and aloha' or something like that

Originally from the UK yes, but lets not forget that at the moment he/she is in Africa, helping young orphans in a religious shelter. And he's not native of the UK... His name is JACK and he's a TEXAN who moved to the UK a few years ago... but who is now in Africa for international/religious aid reasons. God bless him... no... God give blessings of the season to him...
