Early in this post somebody suggested to string them along. It was probably said as a joke, but just in case somebody is tempted. Don't do it. I worked in the banking industry for five miserable years. And dealt with more then my shares of these issues. It is amazing the amount of information they can dig up on a pingback when you respond. Most don't go to that effort because there are plenty of easier targets but why take the chance. Just delete.

^ I wouldn't worry too much. Most lads couldn't find their backsides with a map of where to look, and they are lazy beyond belief. Having said that, getting death threats after stringing them along for eight or nine months is very funny.

But yes, if they have any personal info on you drop them.

Dearest one,


I am Miss Confidence 18 years old girl from Ghana. I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I am receiving from my Uncles who planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Parents. On noticing my escape, they ceased my international passport and other valuable documents. Luckily they did not discover where I kept my fathers File which contains important documents.

I decided to run to an orphanage camp where I am presently hiding under Rescue Guest Home Ghana, there i discovered my late father deposited the sum of US$ 5.5 million (Five million Five Hundred united state dollars) in one of the leading bank with my name as the next of kin.

However, I shall forward to you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer of the money to your account, and investment of the fund. As you will help me in an investment, and I will like to complete my studies in your country.

I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation of your effort and 5% for any other expense you made after a successful transfer.

You can always reach me with my private phone line +233546693550
Private email confidence1992@cantv.net

Yours
Confidence Nick.

Meh... She's only offering 25%! I don't get out of bed for anything less than 60%. Then negotiate my way to 90%. It's so funny arguing over money that doesn't exist. :wink:

I used to love refugee camp scammers. I had one that was being held in the Kensington Gardens refugee camp (local knowledge was not his strong point :lol: ) . Came with full internet as well as gold taps in the communal bogs on doubt. :D
