Hi everyone.
Have not been posting much in the scam/phishing/con/fraud emails lately as they are all very much alike.
However over the weekend I had two with a new twist.
The first is another Nigerian scam email, it states that it is from Dubai in the UAE but it is not, it's from Nigeria.
This time the person is dying & wants your help.
The second one is from Spain, apparently we are all going to win their national lottery now, of course none of us have actually entered it, but our 'lucky email address' has been drawn, from a datebase of email addresses.
Anyway, here is the first scam mail.
---------------------------------------------
Dear friend,
Firstly, I wish you the very best wishes of good health and Success. I also
enjoin you not to wonder as this letter may come to you as a surprise due to
the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have n intentions of
causing you any worries as I decided to contact you through this medium. As you
read this, I don't want you to feel SORRY or PITY for me because I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is Alhaji Gambo Jimeta a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered lately due to
my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine and
right now, I have only about few months to live according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business. I wasn't too generous, I was always
hostile to people and only focused on my businesses as that was the only thing
I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God
gives me a second chance to live in this world I would live my life a different
way from how I have lived it.
However, now that I know my time is near, I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations and people, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do
on earth.I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to some
orphanages as well as some Schools in the U.A.E. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. The last of my money,
which I planned to use in openning a shopping complex in London is a huge cash
deposited with a Financial Security Firm abroad, I want to donate it to any
worthy, charity organisation, hence my contacting you with blind trust having
been led by my intuition of goodwill.
MY REQUEST
As a result of my present health situation, I am looking for a trustworthy
individual/firm to help me collect this deposited funds with the Financial Firm
abroad and dispatch it to charity organizations and let them know that I, Alhaji
Gambo Jimeta is making this generous donation as a dying man's last wish. I am
writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my
time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good
heart.
I await your anticipated co-operation.
Sincerely,
Alhaji Gambo Jimeta.
All Response to be sent to ( gambojimetanig@yahoo.com )
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished because I do not want anything that will Jeopadize my last
wish, as I do not want my family people to know about this because I once asked
members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I
have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money
to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended with what I have left for them. I will be communicating with you by
email as I do not want anybody(my medical staff) to know what I am up to as
they are always around me.
