I think Lads should stick to 'Esophogeal' cancer as their medical ailment, not that they know anything about that either. Clearly their medical research hasn't been in-depth, as normal people have two kidneys and can get by quite happily with little function in only one kidney.

As luck would have it (the spooky bit) I'm having one of mine removed in a week or so, and though the scam does not personally offend me, I am beutifully placed to offer mine to the poor unfortunate girl.

Greedy little beggars - $17,000 ! I think I can send the money with the kidney using one of our courier companies. It should be quite safe in a package marked 'Human Transplant Organ' and as I make them lick their lips with greed I can also turn their stomachs with graphic detail.

Beloved brothers and sister and all that have good intensions to
their fellow humans,I plead with you on behalf of little girl ANN IYORE.

Until may this year,seven years old Girl called ANN IYORE who never
knew her parent from childhood but kept faith with life in a little
orphanage home in Benin city,Nigeria,suddenly all her joy and hope and
expectations came crushing under the weight of an ailment that has been
diagnosed by doctors at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital(UBTH) to be Chronic Renal Failure occasioned by faulty kidney.

According to doctors reports,she stand the chance of loosing her life
in about four weeks time on account of her faulty kidney if not
quickly replaced.Now,Ann needs the sum of 2.5million in Nigeria currency
which is equivalent to 17,000:00(seventeen thousand dollars) to
facilitate her fast recovery................blah blah blah....

I've got three kidneys... two originals (now dead) and one transplanted 9 years ago.

The lack of knowledge shown in these scams is quite shocking, especially when you've had lots of personal experience of what they're trying to convince you about.
It's quite believable that the "girl" in the story could die in 4 weeks with CRF, but don't they have dialysis where she is?

I got one of these, too. This is the kind of scam that will really tug at heartstrings and cause people to cough up a buck or two. No one likes to think about a sick or dying child.

What do you think? Is a mass bait in order?

I didn't get any response to my first mail so I've implied a dollar chop and sent him a firm kick up the be-hind.

I go for my pre-assessment tomorrow, and I can't wait Sad

. I hope it includes lots of physical tests.

^^^ It appears to be the same lad. I've just sent an e-mail from Bishop Howard Stern offering the help of the congregation at Blumpkin Road Church. I've asked the lad for some photos so we can lift up the girl as well as the staff of this Divine love Charity Home in prayer.
