Fleecing the Gullible: September 2005 Archives

Today's missive caught in the spam filter is not the usual plea from Nigeria. Indeed, T. Manaa seeks to rip people off through completely different means:

Peace Upon you Messrs,
I would like to collect openions that will help me and you about a great branch of real prophecy.
I'm a real dream interpreter that will lauch this barried science of the Islamic Scientist "Ben Siren" online soon and would appreciate if you could email me your answers according to the following questions:
1. Do you believe in dreams interpretations?(Y/N) if not no need to answer the rest.
2. How much is it reasonable to you to pay for each dream interpretation that will tell you or warn you from a real coming event to you or to any person that you could know? (by US dollars)

You may be chosen randomly for one year of free dreams interpretation in the upcoming website.

Nigeria (metaphorically, at least): Today the spam trap caught the following religiously inspired missive:

"MY GOOD WILL"

Good day and God bless,

Greetings to you in the name of God Almighty. I am former Mrs. Memunat Mohamed Galal, now I am Mrs. Linda Mohamed Galal a widow to Late Dr. Mohamed Galal.

I am an old woman; suffering from cancer. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live long, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband died in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline Boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and my only daughter died in BOMB ATTACK LONDON.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for so long and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the well being of less privileged people and handicapped in the society of world America, Canada, Africa, Europe and Asian Countries.

This mission, who will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocate to Africa where I live presently. I selected you for this Purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $7,300,000.00 Million US Dollars to you for the development of the well being of handicapped in the society and also as aids for the less privileged around your country, and i have map out $1,700.000.00 for your own personal use to help me for this work.

Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Bank. Therefore immediate application for the transfer of the money in your name or your home. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal use, than enhancement of the comfort of the Handicapped.

Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition without God one's life is vanity upon vanity.

I await your reply.
MRS LINDA MOHAMED
