Jacpher Posted January 11, 2006 I keep getting these spam/junk emails everyday. My email spam blocker must be going bad. It amazes me the tactics these spammers employ. Now they are using the names of prominent politicians and religions sake to rip people off. How gross! Have you seen or read these latest spam letters. They're catching up now and changing their stories. Here are two of them that get their way to the inbox. MRS FATIMAH HARIRI, - BEIRUT. Respected One, My name is Mrs Fatimah Hariri, one of the wives of Late Mr Rafik Kariri, the former prime minister of Lebanon who was killed in a bomb blast on 14th February 2005. My late husband made a huge deposit of US$18,500,000 (eighteen Million, five hundred thousand United States Dollars) in a security Company in London. And I have all the documents concerning the deposit and no other person can claim the money without these documents. This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a Family treasure. This means that the security company does not know the contents of this trunk box that was sent from Lebanon to London in my late husband's private jet. The main purpose of sending you this mail is to request you to help me clear this money from that company and keep it until the relations of my husband calm down. We are all under routine checking about our movements and telephone calls. The relations of my husband are asking us, all the wives to produce every document and certificates in our possession concerning our Husband’s properties although I and some other wives has submitted some but I refuse to submit this one. My husband has already paid for safe keeping charges, so you do not have to bother about this fee; upon your acceptance I will trust you and issue you with deposit reference code for you to call the security company. I look forward to hearing from you soon, for quick processing and conclusion of this business transaction. Please contact me urgently at this email address fatihariri035@yahoo.co.uk upon your acceptance so that we can discuss how to go about this transaction speedily and accomplish it. Thanks and kind regards, MRS FATIMAH HARIRI This email originated from a Malaysian ip address. Asalama Aleikum. Dear Brethren-in-Islam, I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of Hunger on daily bases.

This Position made him very rich and powerful. So powerful that the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi the head and founder of the UNITA guerillas felt threatened that he planned To get rid of my father. As much as I can remember, one Sunday I was away with my mother when a handful Of soldiers obviously sent by the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi went to our house and Killed my father, my two sisters and brother. They also executed everyone that bared The same surname with us in my village, thus making sure that we were completely Wiped out the surface of the earth. An aide loyal to my father met with me and my Mother and sneaked us to Zambia, a neighboring country, from where we traveled to London. My mother died of extreme cancer a month ago here in London, and here am I On my sick bed diagnosed of HIV 1 & 2 i.e. full blown AIDS and I have a few months to Live. Three months ago my late mother took me to a Finance/Security firm where my late Father deposited large sum of money ($4.5m) he acquired during the war, and I took Possession. I do not wants this money to get into wrong hands by means of intestate Laws. My late father probably did not do thing right fate has dealt with us Decisively, but lying here on my dying bed I am etermined to do thing right to enable Me die in a state of Taahir, by passing this fund on to a devoted Muslim or an Islamic Organization that will use it to portage Islam to the glory of the Almighty Allah, take Care of the weak of the earth (the widows, old and orphans). Time is not on my side, I have concluded arrangement with the security company officials to use their diplomatic means to move the consignment to your country or a nearby country to you where you will meet with them sign the paper and the consignment will be handed over to you. Do bear in mind that the handling charge will have to be taken care of, and that is why I have instructed the security company that any body that assist me will have 10% of the total amount. I have willed our house here in London to a School. If you know and believe in your Heart that you stand up for a good course and to bring glory to the name of Almighty Allah, distinguish youself in this world full of evil and corruption and use this money Just as I have said, then get in touch with me immediately by sending the following.

Urban Posted January 11, 2006 this is the story i got in my e-mail... MRS. MARIFE C. DERONA CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR. MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR PHILIPPINES. Good day Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS MARIFE CARREON DERONA, CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER EQUITABLE PCI BANK. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am writing you this letter with so much joy and excitement even though my heart goes out to the very powerful and distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to have worked for and extremely privileged to have known for numerous years. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK inside the Philippines. In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States Of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection. Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. The allocation of our money will be as follows: 20%($2.02m) to you for your part in this, 75% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing to lose but just a little time, while on the other hand I am staking my flawless reputation among other things. And besides $2.02 million is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire transaction should take no longer than twelve business days after which we will go about our daily business, but just millions of dollars richer. As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try to run away with the money because even though only you can transfer money in and out of your account, the transfer can only be authorized by my department of which i happen to be the head. The money will be transferred from my bank to an account you will provide. So please, there should be no room for greed because ten million two hundred thousand dollars can quench even the most insatiable desire for the almighty dollar. Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don’t have to worry about any legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money. Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me for more details on this transaction as soon as possible. This should be kept very secret and confidential… I believe you know. If interested please reply to this email address:d_marife2000@yahoo.com.ph kind Regards, Marife D. Carreon lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
