sorry, not interested.

My Dearest Sweetheart.
I am more than happy in your reply to my mail ,
How are you today? How was your night hope fine? Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal.

In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on mondays and fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by God,s grace i will come out here soon.

I don't have any relatives now whom I can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person I have now is Reverend David Jones, pastor of the(Christ for all churches) here in the camp he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.

The Pastors Tel number is (00221-77-408-2432) if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here We don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.

I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the traggic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.

Please listen to this (please it's a secret,the only Person who knows about it is the Revrend ),i have my late father's certificate of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,

because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Europe, which he used my name as the next of kin the amount is $ 6.5 million (six million five hundred thousand U.S. dollars).

So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my travelling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you.

I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Revrend because he is like a father to me. So in the right of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone,

i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it.

Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you.

I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of vision,truth and hardworking. My favourite language is english but our language is french but i speak english very fluently.

Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have alot to tell you.

Have a nice day and think about me.
am waiting to hear from you soonest
Yours in love
Miss karen

so then I just marked it as spam and didnt reply.

[insaneturbo13]

ok. im gonna ask what everyone else was thinking... what was the pic like? was she some half naked bombshell? lol

[Hussain]

lol no. she was fully clothe. too lazy to upload the pics to pb and post here but I can forward the email.... nothing special though. I was just like wtf? hella random

[Hussain]

Looks like it's just a spam bot looking for some idiot who hasn't heard of all the internet scams out there. I'm happy to see that you aren't one of those suckers!

Here's a quote from another site she posted on:

"My name is Ms Karen i saw your profile today at(ffvb.net)and became interested in you, write me back on([email protected]).

i have alot to discuss with you
Thanks"

lol ya. I remember trying to buy a C32 AMG off of craigslist before I got my altima coupe and it turned out to be a scam. Its funny though, you type into google word for word what the emails say and you always find people talking about them. so if something seems too good to be true (I'll send you $6.5 million blah blah blah), copy/paste it into google

[lavon_andy]

did you get pictures? is she hot?


j/k



but yeah I got a scammer email as well

[fiveliterbeater]

wow thats crazy! and effing funny! i cant believe these scams still exist. but then again, there is a new generation of clueless kids thinking "man! i hit the motherload!"

[obstacle]
