Dear So and SO ,

I am writing to inform you that I have finally succeeded in the project with another person. I did not forget all your efforts at that time because we started the project together initially but because of your inability to meet up with your obligation we did not conclude together.

We have ordered my banks Foreign Payment Remittance Unit to issue you $500,000.00 valued VISA MASTER-CARD where Your payment will be uploaded. Today, we got the notice that your Payment have been uploaded into this VISA MASTER-CARD and also have registered it with Sky Courier and Delivery Company. For your information, the delivery charges have been paid and they are supposed to have shipped your packaged (ATM CARD) but they insisted that you must re-confirm to them your current Delivery address to ensure accurate delivery.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Due to the content of the package, Sky courier mandated that before your package will be shipped; a Stamp Duty MUST be procured According to the New Shipping Creed on all packages leaving Africa .The Essence of such Document is to ensure a hitch-free delivery and the amount Of the Stamp Duty Fee is $281. When this is done, Sky Courier will issue you with the tracking numbers for your package before the shipping Commences. Therefore reconfirm your current delivery address. Do not forget that this $281 is all that you should send to them, the rest of the Fees have been paid.
Finally, for security reasons and considering the huge amount the ATM Master-Card contains, the Package was coded thus, Registration Ref: Skyex/atm/100.

This is the code number that you will send to the courier company while contacting them and the courier company is not aware what the content of the package is. We told them that it contained some very vital official Documents being sent to an offshore staff. Do not reveal the content of the package to the courier company or any body for security purposes. The Information of the courier company is here-by given below
and re-confirm to them your current delivery addresses to ensure accurate delivery.

1. Your full name:
2. Your physical address:
3. Your house phone:
4. Your cell phone:

Sky Courier and Delivery Company
Phone: +229 9844 7012
Email: [email protected] AND [email protected]

Please hurry now as your package might incurs demurrage if it stays more Than 4 days with Sky Courier.
Thanks,
Alexander Delano

P.S just curious if anyone knows what demurrage is??? Laughing

Demurrage is ladspeak for "Excuse to pay money through WU".

oops

demurrage is actually part of the English vocab although it doesn't go through the spell check. Here are a couple of meanings for it:

Dunno about demurrage but I checked out www.skycourier.tk

Basically, it is a pseudo-DHL website, in other words, it has copied a whole site-ful of DHL content, but the scammer is claiming an e-mail from there.

After doing a whois search on the website, I came up with this:

May I attempt to kill the website for you?

Your lad is referring to the "Visa Master-Card"

Ummmmmm, isn't that 2 separate companies? Or... has Visa and Mastercard merged their companies to make things easier for your lad? Shocked

To answer your question Ezio. Please kill that site for me. The sooner the better. Razz

Demurrage is always good for a laugh with the lads. It made its way onto a script at some time in the past, sounds very official, and none of the lads have a clue what it actually means.

I sometimes pull them up on it and go "Hang on, why am I paying for ship that's stuck offloading cargo!" Smile

www.skycourier.tk is a frame the directs you to the real dhl site www.dhl.com.

I will post this for a kill

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 1:14 pm

I've looked at skycourier.com and it's a legitimate DHL website.
I sent an e/mail to DHL to ask them whether the skycourier.tk domain is really affiliated with them.

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 5:45 pm

^^No, they're not affiliated with DHL, they're just funneling DHL's legitimate site into their free dot.tk site. The telephone number stated in the email resolves to a mobile phone in Benin. Smile

A report has been sent to dot.tk's abuse team. They usually pull a site within hours. If you want to watch for when it's down (so you can slap your lad for his site going away), the thread is here:

If you get a bunch of excuses from your lad, would you mind sharing them? We site killers love watching them backpedal!
