I just got this, unsolicitated:

Quote:

Dear Friend,

I am Mrs. Dina Shirely, I am a US citizen, 39 years Old. I reside here in 2482 Ram Crossing Way, Henderson, Nevada 89074 United States (USA)

I am one of those that executed a contract in Nigeria years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $20,000 trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my contract documents, and I was directed to meet Barrister Afam Morgan Esq, who was elected to release all foreign victims payment in Nigerian rosters and I contacted him and he explained everything to me.

He said that those contacting us through emails for ATM card, CBM, and others are fake, Then he took me to the paying authorize bank, which is Oceanic Bank of Nigeria Plc, and I am the happiest woman on this earth because I have received my funds Moreover, Barrister Afam M Esq, showed me the full information of those that have not receive their payment, and I saw your email address and your contract amount.

You have to contact him direct on this information below.
His Name: Barrister Morgan Afam Esq
Email:[email protected]
Office Address: 13, Zion Street, Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.

You really have to stop your dealing with those contacting you okay, because they will dry you up until you have nothing to eat. The only money I paid was just $420 for IRS permit, which you know, so you have to take note of that.

Sincerely and truthfully.
Mrs. Dina Shirely,.

Hi CY, it looks like a standard Lad asem, you pick up the deal halfway through, with only $420 to pay, then there's the *oh also registration, then etc etc

Play along nicely, CY, and have Mr. Gomer chop him. Lads always like that. If you use the "secuure" modality, you can put a message on the site for him, so when he goes back the second time to get the payment (they usually quit early the first time) you can put something in there that says, "Mr. Gomer picked up this transaction at 3:42PM on January 23rd, 2009."
Or, you can tell him Mr. Gomer, the lad's boss, gave you the new details to send the payment. Smile

It's a recovery scam, but in a format I haven't seen before. You must have been baiting with that baiter email address before, and you're on a list of potential victims apparently...

Yes, just a new twist on the recovery scam modality. Nothing like a "testimonial" to make a previous victim feel secure. I've gotten plenty of lad ASEMs with recovery scams, I'm sure they figure that even if only 1 in a thousand reaches a someone who really has been scammed, they have the chance to hook a proven victim.
