Subject: Hi Dearest,

Once again my learning-disabled brother was taken in by the scammer above. I was in time to stop him losing money this time (he was taken in by a scammer before and lost a LOT of money).

Someone please bait this lowlife. Only the link to my mac stopped my brother from being robbed.

Is the lads character a lady? I just started off with "Dear Sir" without thinking.

What sort of scam was it? Perhaps you should put it in Surplus.

~ Ridcully,

WhackMeister reporting for duty.

Any chance you could post one of the emails connected to this, like the original one with full header?

Cheers!

@ridcully: Could you post the full header from the introductory message please. Make sure to obscure the your own email address.

I'm sorry I am mac-using. How do I show the full header?

Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:48 pm

^^ It would depend what e-mail server you are using.

Search around for something that says "Show Original". In Gmail it is in the top right next to the "reply" button...looks like a little downward arrow.

Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:13 pm

It might also say "Full Headers" or similar.

The header looks like a lot of gibberish but actually contains information that can tell us where an email originated.

No such command exists for me, The native browser is Safari. It IS a mac with all the tightass security that Apple gets so arsey about.

I can't see headers. MacMail usually filters out spam by itself.

Not always

Ridcully, if what you're asking for is to have the lowlife mass-baited, looks like help is already happening. Smile

You people are just the best.

I got a reply, having sent this:

Well, all I can say is, you're sorta tall... and the spare-time stuff you like is - interesting... Perhaps you can tell me what "instrumental jazz" is! Write me

And what do I get:

Quote:

Thanks for your mail. Thanks for the opportunity to be your friend. I will really like to have a good relationship with you. I have a special reason why I decided to contact you. Though it is not left for me to say, but I know that I am an honest girl, trustworthy, truthful, loving kindness, open minded, intelligent, easy going, faithful and caring. I decided to contact you after reading your profile because of the urgency of my situation here. My Name is Miss. Mam11fe W1ll1ams 24 years old and from Liberia , in the western part of Africa , My late Father -I55ac w1ll1ams b0k0, was the Deputy Minister of Public Works in Charles Taylor's government. He was falsely accused of plotting to remove the then (PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA- CHARLES TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles Taylor killed him. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and fragile political situation in Liberia as at that time. But it formed consistent headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins. You can verify this from some of the international newspapers posted in the web sites below: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm Infact, I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I am receiving from my step mother. My Father had two wives before his demise. My mother was the second; the first one couldn't raise him an issue after nine years of their marriage that emerged in him the idea of getting a second wife that happened to be my late mother. After the marriage of my mother, the first wife turned hostile and aggressive till the extent that my father had to sent her packing and rented an apartment for her in the town. She came back with her things after the news of my parents' death. She has been more or less hostile to me and want to deny me of all my father's assets. I am just like being in a wicked circle that nothing in the house pleases me. Meanwhile, I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hide away my international passport and other valuable travelling documents. Luckily she did not discover where I kept my father's File which contains important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Dakar , Republic of Senegal . Due to my inability and lack of resources, I decided to contact you for a help please, I will be very glad if you should consider to help me please. I am contacting you for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in your Country. My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$10, 700, 000.00 in a Bank here in Senegal with my name as the next of kin. When I came to Senegal , I went to the bank where my father deposited the money so that I can withdraw some money as the next of kin to the account and start a new life. Unfortunately, I did not know that my father signed an agreement with the bank that the money should not be released directly to me if not married or up to 30years. The agreement states that I should appoint a trustee/investor any time I want to take the money from the bank before I am 30 years. I understand that the investor is to invest and manage the money for me in a good business. So the bank people advised me that since I am not yet 30 years and not married, I should look for someone to stand for me for claims in accordance with their agreement with my late father. This is why I contacted you. Secondly, I like your country and I want to live there and continue my education as i was in my 1st year in the university, when the crisis started and death of my parents. It is my intention to compensate you with 10% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely. You can not call me on phone because I have no phone here but if you will like to speak to me on phone I will give you phone number of the Reverend Father here in the camp beacuse I told him a little bit about my condition. When you call, tell him you want to speak to H0pe Vay3, the liberian girl He will call me because he knows that I am staying in the female Hostel Room 74. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to yourself. Please I beg you not to disclose these details till I come over, once the fund has been transferred. I also love romantic challenges.

It's an orphan scam after all...
