Yeah, ok, that is weird. Perhaps they might be adapting na new angle? 'Double agent' type of thing perhaps?

I think that it is just simply a lad not bothering to read.

Nothing ultra uber crafty with the email. Feel free to bait away. Wink

There really is a www.419baiter.com. Do you have anything posted there?

Is it possible it's a bot?

These love scammers often refer to an entry in an online guestbook as a 'profile'. I get these exact scams at least twice/week. Only the names change.

In this case, the scammer harvested the e-mail addresses from the 'Made for Baiters' guestbook that happens to be located at 419baiter.com.

This is simply a case of a scammer not reading what he is typing.

EDIT: Same scammer (different Baiter's Guestbook) is mentioned here:

well, i'm glad its been explained, but you have to love the irony.

Yeah.

If I look hard enough, I can probably find at least three or four dozen of these, all from the same scammer, all with identicle speling misteaks.

How did you know I am a lesbian? That's not something I usually publish. My lover has left me and stolen our poodle Max from me. I am heartbroken and lonely. I would like to know you better too.

Yep, I've done that a few times...something like "Oh yes. You must mean my profile on the Lez-B-Friends site." I'm actually still stringing one 'lesbian' along in a bait that began in February, 2006.

Subject: HELLO MY LOVE PLEASE I WILL LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT

Dearest Sweetheart One
I am very very happy to see your reply to my mail .
How are your today? How was the night, hope fine?
Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal. In this camp were we are not allowed to go out of the camp It's just like one staying in the prison and i hope by God's grace i will come out here soon.

I don't have any relatives now whom i can go to, all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Reverend David Jones, who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) here in the camp,he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.

The Pastor's Tel number is (+221774399896) When you call tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel.
As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever
because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the traggic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.

Listen to this i have my late father's Certificate Deposit of account, and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading
bank in europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $6.5M (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars).

So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my travelling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you.

I kept this secret to people in this camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me.because i am afraid to loose this money if they gets to know about it. So, in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it.
Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you.I like honest andunderstanding people,truthful and a man of vision,truth and hardworking.

My favourite language is english but our language is french but i speak english very fluently and please my love for the picture you request we are not aloud for snaping any how here please even all the one i send to you my love is the pictures i snap when my perents are alife please consider my situation here please.

Mean while i will like you to call me when you have chance, Because i have allot to tell you.Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you soonest

Yours forever in love
Kate Godwill.

OMG you poor dear! How can I help? I can't make international phone calls. Thank you for sending your pictures. You are very beautiful. I will be blessed if you would allow me to be your special friend. But maybe you should not include your pastor friend. You know how stuffy those religious types can be about women like us.
