Can anyone tell me if [email protected] belongs to a person who is trying to scam me

Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:47 pm

That's hard to say. I googled that address the only hit I got was here (i.e., this thread).

There's a lot of email addresses out there, and so far as I know there is no listing that lists each and every single scammer. And it would be impossible to do such a list.

What did the email say to make you think it may be a scammer?

Before, I was staying with my uncle who was taking care of me and my school back in my country Sudan and my uncle was very wicked to me Just because my mother has no male child for my Daddy,

Then he has seized all my late father’s properties and sold them away without showing any concern to me. Now, I don’t want him to know about the US$5.6Million United States dollars with the (BOA) BANK OF AFRICA OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO BRANCH,

My main reason of contacting you is because I don’t want my uncle to know about the money because he may claim it and seize the money and I will not get anything. I am assuring you that this money belongs to my late father and it is safe, risk free and legal. Let me know if you’re ready to help me on this so that I will give you the detail information of the (I.D.B) ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.

The money I am talking about was deposited in the bank by my late father who so much loved and cherish me, He wanted me to have the best and make him proud, My late father deposited the money and instructed the bank that I can only withdraw the money when I am married or present someone reliable as my trustee and I can only withdraw with the help of a trusted foreigner who will help me to make the necessary arrangement for the capital investment of the money outside here,

This is the reason why I need your help to be sincere in your heart and assist me transfer the money into any account which you know will be safe either new or old empty or not, Though I do not have experience in international transaction so there is nothing I can do without your help,

I wouldn't have bordered you if I have the capability or access to the money within myself, because I am helpless without you, having no account and no body abroad as a friend or relation. I will write to the bank by telling them that you will be contacting them on my behalf As soon as I confirm your approval, so dear I need your information’s below which I will include in the letter of authorization to the bank.

I am waiting for this information so that I will send the letter to the bank, and please remember that you should keep this only to yourself until the money has been transferred into your account, I do not want anyone to know about it, you know that there are so many wicked people in the world to day, some of them will see good thing coming to you and they will stop it, I am a living witness, so I want you to promise me that you will keep it secret until the whole transfer will be done.

After the transaction of the money into your account. You will help me withdraw some money from the account where the money was transferred, You will help me send the money through the Rev.

Firstly welcome to Eater.

If your are receiving these emails into you're personal email addy don't reply any more. It is best to use a fake untraceable email address such as gmail. Next step is to sign up for a mentor http://forum.419eater.com/forum/cherrie_mentor_program.php where an experienced baiter can help you with your early baits.

All EMails like the two you have shown are scams, they just have a slightly different format and plotline. There are countless variations out there but they are all scams. No doubt your Email will receive many more, you have two options. One, delete them and never think of them again. Two become a baiter, get yourself a Email address that you only use for baiting, read the stickies on this website on how to do it safely and sign up for a mentor.
