This might be corny, but I just had to share this because it made me laugh. Especially when she mentions her husband as the late President. I know we all get some of these on a monthly basis, but check out the story and the misspelled words. And just for the fact that they had to contact me through Active Rain.

Do people think that we are that stupid and or just that desperate for money? I would want to thank this person for a great laugh on hump day.  ;o)  Besides, that is a lot of money to trust a stranger with....   lol

Should I reply to this person and have some fun with this?  I think I will and I will keep you all posted. Anyone else get this one yet? 

 

Message:From: Mrs.Mable.
I am Mrs.Mable Kabila, from Democratic Republic of Congo. There is an imformation I would like you to keep very confidential There is sum ammount of money my Husband Late President Laurent Kabila, deposited in a security company Abidjan Cote d'ivoire for safe keeping. Before he was killed by his Eldest Millitary Son.

The squable happened as immediately we returned back from our London trip. My husband married us two.I am the second wife.I will not be able to give you the full details that led to that urgly incidents.

The Eldest Son is the current President of our country now. For now I am staying in Abijdan, the capital of Republic of Cote d'voire,just to save my life,with my three children. The money in question, is 22, Million U.S.Dollars.

I can not make the withdrawal of this fund, because my husband registered the Beneficiary of the fund as his (Foriegn Bussiness Patner) and also (Family valuables as the content of the deposit) The documents of the deposit are with me.

What I would want you to do, is to assits me to get the consignment withdrawn from the security company, and we shall open a small account in a Bank here in your name, and transfer the money to your country, through the account .We shall replace the name Foriegn Patner to your own name, because the code was used for security reason. I will give you the 10% of the money for your assitance.Ther is no risk in this transaction.

I will use the remaining balance of the money for an investiment in your country for the future of my children. If you are intrested, and can maintain the very confidential of this transaction,you e-mail me immediately for more clearification, and also note that I am a refugees in Abidjan, Cote d’ lvoire becuase of the assasnation of late husband,and the civil war going on in our country,Democratic Republic of Congo.

I've played with a few of these spammers a couple times.  They will continue to write because they want your information.  And their spelling is always awful.  But at least they respond!

Scott.....  it is beyond crappy.... for any business.

Jim......  Yes, stupid and desperate. I am curious to know how many people have actually fallen for these types of scams. I admit, when I got my very first one about a year and a half ago, I was interested. But it was a lot more creative than this one...or even some of the others that I have received.

Jim & Maria.....  they do respond. We played with one at work about a year ago. It was funny, but sad at the same time. The things that this person came up with in regards to her story, the hospital that she was in, nobody to turn to...etc etc  But access to e-mail is always a funny one...from the hospital as a patient, very badly injured.... lol 

Randy... yes, I remember that blog that you did and I followed your comments for about a week....  funny. 

Mana......  LOL ... very funny.... 

Steven.... you have been very lucky. I have been struck here in Active Rain 3 times now. A few times on my work e-mails... but what's weird is, not once on my personal e-mail as of yet...knock on wood. But they'll find you....

Jeff, the funniest one I ever got was some guy claiming of all things to be a Rebel leader needing to transfer funds. As if I'm going to get involved with anyone in one of these country's much less a Rebel Leader!

I got one the other day from a little hussy from Russia.  Confessing her love and needing money for a plane ticket, so she can visit and make all of my dreams come true.  Boy, was that  a waste of $2500......lol

I just got one the other day myself.  Only problem was that I could not read it.  It was written in what looked like Russian.  Last I checked, the only Russian I knew was Vodka.  :)

Jason.... LOL.... funny....  well, my poison is French Vodka... don't shoot me.

Joan....  that is a sad thing. Wouldn't common sense tell you how could this be possible?

Ah. The old Nigerian bank scam. I can't believe that thing is still circulating. I swear the first time I saw it had to be about 5 years ago. BTW, have you been MeMe'd yet? I'm going to check your posts.
