Got this from one of our members to day, and whant to hear how I shall handle this? DEAR ARILD CAN YOU BE HONEST? - messages to/from Micheal Duru From Micheal Duru: DEAR ARILD CAN YOU BE HONEST? Date:9/18/2005 From:Micheal Obasi. Abidjan,Republic of Cote d'ivoire. Dear Respectful One, Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I am Micheal Obasi .33years old and the only Son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Obasi. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2003.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank. I am just 33 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as your Son ? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account? Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much. My sincere regards. Micheal Obasi. you can reach me on nfeobasi@yahoo.com

Arildaha. Firstly, I would report this member to the admin of Adlandpro. Secondly, if this 'member' is on your friends list, then block him. This is another version of the Nigerian Scam emails that have been in just about everybody's in-box for the last year or so. It is a CON. This person is trying to steal your money. Report them to whatever goverment department in your country deals with fraud & Internet scams. Any type of email you receive like this in future, DELETE IT! Unless you are going to report the sender to earlier mentioned govt dept. Do not reply to it, as they will then track you. I hope this advise is what you are looking for.

Thanks for telling me my friend - thanks a lot! Bless You

Arildaha, No problem my friend. Look through all of the forums I have here, you will find many samples of this Nigerian scam & other scams on the Internet at the moment. As soon as we find another new type of scam,con,virus infected or phishing type emails, they are posted at once.
