I’m new to this forum but have been reading this website for many years Very Happy

I get loads of scam emails at work and this one I thought was particularly amusing, especially as they’ve created a webpage to support their story.

Here’s the email if anyone wants to use it:

Hello Dear
I am writing this mail to you With due respect trust and humanity, i appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business having gone through your remarkable profile, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and i have a special reason why i decided to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my situation, My name is Miss Monica Kipkalya, 24yrs old female and I’m from Kenya in East Africa. My father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya. The plane crashed on the Tuesday 10th, June, 2008.

You can read more about the crash through the below site:
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/06/10/kenya.crash/index.html
After the burial of my father, my step-Mother and uncle conspired and sold my father's property to an Italian Expertrate which the shared the money among themselves and live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he have deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instruction in his will to the bank was that the money would only be release to me when I present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas. I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the money to his/her bank account overseas.
I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinced me that you may be the true person to help me. Moreover, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my step-Mothers have threatened to assassinate me. The amount is($5.8USD) Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank in Burkina Faso on my arrival, You will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country. However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment.
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. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self for now until the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it until i come over because I am afraid of my wicked step-mother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone ,I thank God Today that am out from my country (Kenya) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited these money with my name as the next of Kin. I have the documents for the claim.
Thanks
God bless you
Monica Kipkalya

^^^Just go here (clicky!) to be assigned a senior baiter who will show you the ropes. You should give it a try, even if you think you aren't brave enough. When I first visited here I was the same way, I loved reading everything but I was nervous about actually baiting. Now I'm completely addicted.

Hehe just to say they also DO mix fact with fiction... The CNN link is legit. Its an example of how they trawl for "grief" and then build a story and scam around it. Also use google as part of the research.. Put in his name and the story checks out.

What site are you referring to? Our site killers would love to make it go down.

As for "brave", maybe I know how you feel: Not afraid, but thoroughly disgusted. It will pass with practice, so

Welcome to eater Very Happy

There is really no reason you need to be "brave" to bait. As long as you bait safe (ie: don't use any real life info) there is no "danger" and if you feel you are getting in way over your head ask for help here or just stop corresponding with the scammer and close down your baiting email account. Go on give it a try - you know you want to Wink

Yes, they love a good real story in the news to bolster their scam efforts.

In fact right now I am working diligently with the adopted son of Muammar Gaddafi. I hope it works out as he wants to split millions of the Colonel's dollars with me... Evil or Very Mad
