My chosen Partner,

Compliment of the season,Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I know this mail may come to you as a surprise, since we have not known or written before.

I want to let you know that is your profile that pushed me to send this email to you after our three days fasting and praying and i have the full hope that you will assist me and my younger sister.

Our Mother died long ago when she was about to delivered my most junior sister Chantal, she is 22 years old as of today, based that we lost our mother so early our father took us so special, we are only three from my mother’s side I and the two girls.

Introducing my self , I am Raph Larry 26 years of age the only son of the late Chief and Mrs Robert Larry, My father was a gold and cocoa merchant based in Accra, Ghana and Abidjan ( Ivory Coast ) He
was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trips.

Before the death of my father on 27th February 2001 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of USD$12.5M ( Twelve Million five hundred thousand U.S), deposited in Bank in ( Abidjan Cote D’ Ivoire, that he used my name as his beloved son for the next of kin in depositing the fund.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as expansion of his existing cocoa business and real estate management overseas.

I have make an arrangement with the Local bank manager here on how best to transfer this money to overseas.
please I am humbly seeeking your assistance in the following ways.

2-To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am still in the secoundary school with my junior sisters.

Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/ Input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas, while 5% will be set aside to offset any expenses we may incure.

Hello,
We can’t really stop it from happening initially. Once it’s been reported, we can ban that user (done). It takes a community effort to keep the forums (report to moderator link) and private message system clean. We appreciate your efforts and apologize for the hassle. Thanks.

As per my husband (Homeland Security) this is not just an individual but a ring of sophisticated organized crime working together and all such emails you recieve should be forwarded for investigation to:

U.S. Secret Service
Financial Crimes Division
950 H. Street NW
Washington DC 20001
tel: 202-406-5850
fax: 202-406-5031
email: 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov

The only way to stop this is if we all take the time to report them to the proper authorities. The more complaints they get, the more inclined they’ll be to stop these guys!!!

Yea I got the same one, plus another one saying they want an investor on 2 deals.
Has anyone received this 2nd one?

I didn’t get any spam this time…nobody showed me any love… :frowning:

I’ve been getting alot from the so called “UK National Lottery” too (which should also be reported), requiring just enough info to claim your winnings to steal your identity. I get spammed twice as much since I joined this site. The mods can’t stop this. We are willingly submitting our contact info for anyone out there to take advantage of.
Seems to me that this site has become a target. Think about it,…we’re all here because we want to make money and we’re motivated. Maybe we should rename this thread to get their attention to read it so they know this is not the place to con?

Hello Folks,

Here is the deal. Reporting is good but will not stop. Do not send anything, not even a short reponse to the e-mail address. Most of these e-mails come in from the e-mail servers you are hooked up on.

Nigeria is notoriously terrible for this. You will get these often. There is nothing legitimate about it. Don’t let them capture any information if you can help it.

My opinion is they poisoned the wrong person it should have been the son.
