The MOST STRANGE email i got...

Sunday, September 26, 2004 by UzEE | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Well, i got the mail a few days before first I thaught its a joke. But Then I strated thinking it my not be... What do you say...

and it goes:

My name is Mrs ABCXYZ ABCD nationality of
pakistan. I am married to Mr. EFGUVW ABCD a pakistani who
worked with Pakistan company in guinea for nine
years before he died in the year 2002. We were married
for eleven years without a child. he died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we were staunch muslims. When my
late husband was alive we deposited the sum
of$3.5Million (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars) with a security company. Presently, this money is still with
the

security comapany but was contained in a box so the contents of
the
boxes is not known by the security company. Recently, my Doctor
diagnosed me of having fibrous cancer,i have had to undergo two major
operations in the last six months.and i am billed to travel to the u.s.a for
another operation.my illness has also resulted in other side effects as i
have lost my hearing.it is as regards this fact,that i had to send my
22years old nephew to pakistan ,to retrieve my money from the firm were
it was lodged.

today,my nephew is in pakistan,but he is having problem retrieving this
box from the firm.please i solicit your assistance in helping him
collect this box from the firm.for your assistance i shall give you 10% of
the money.

i would have reach for my husband relatives,but over the years since
thier brother died,they have only succeeded in proving to me what an
ungratefull fellows they could be.who are only interested in what they can
get,but not what they can offer.they cling around my sick bed as if
they really care for me,but in thier heart they never really wish me well.

if you are willing to help me just reply by mail,and i will advise you
on what to do.

Abcxyz Abcd





Mrs ABCXYZ ABCD

I think someone hopes to make you a victim of one of the oldest frauds in the book. Once upon a time it was called "the Spanish inheritance". Now a days we (at least in Sweden) call it the Nigeria letter. Because they send a lot of those letters from Nigeria.

Mail #1: I have a large sum of money but need help in actually getting my hands on it. If you'll help me, I'll give you a cut

Mail #2: Thanks for willing to help me. Maybe we can meet up somewhere and discuss the details in person.

Mail #3: Oh no, disaster has struck! I'm all out of cash and can't possibly travel to our meeting. Could you send me [amount X], so I can travel to you and discuss how we can acquire this large sum of money.

And so on. Fairly obvious hoax. Pandaman once decided to respond to a mail as such and he posted his correspondence: http://www.skinnables.org/forum.php?post_id=1261

Now this new Info i got is more is Interesting...

Just check with the mobile service provider company and found ou that the "Cell connecion Service" was bought by a Non-Pakistani who came from US a few Weeks Ago.

Now i'm realy starting to think that the guy is serious.
