Dear lovely one [OH, HOW FLATTERING! OR IS THIS PORN SPAM?]
how are you for today ?,
I got you contact though this site, i would like you to email me though my email dress florajoymanis1@yahoo.co.jp

I am 19 years old gril, I was born in COTE D'IVOIRE , and I school in Liberia but I couldn't finish my education because of the thing of the world, I have no brother nor sister, I lost my mother when I was 6 years old I can't tell a story of my mother. I was living with my father but in the year 2006 I lost my father in Kumo hospital by 9.30 am [SUCKS!]

I must tell you the comment of doctor ,he told me that my father was poisoned [POISONED?!], but I know that it must be my uncle that did it, I say this because after the death of my father he turned against me because my father had alot of money, he wanted to collect all of my father's belongings. my father's name is RICHARD MANIS who was the director general of cocoa export corporation in Cote D'ivoire

Now he has taken all the property, and send me out of our family house because he found out that my father had some documents of a deposit of 8.5 millions US dollars made by my name as the next of kin (EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND he deposited it in the bank here in my country. According to my father, he said that he deposited the money because he intended to use the money for his international business transaction before his dearth

Now my uncle is going around Cote D'ivoire looking for me to collect all the documents that covers this money , note that my father told me that I should not give it to any body or show it to any body but it should be the one that I trust who will help me to retrieve the money [UMMM, HI? HAVE WE MET? YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECHECK YOUR LOGIC...]

Now I want you to help me to transfer this money into your account [SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH] and help me to come over to your country for a new life. I will give you my pic in my next E-mail but we must do this with trust, please can you give me your phone number so I can call you and tell you more about these and I will also give you the contact of the bank where the money was deposited

waiting to hear from you
your new Friend [AW, THAT'S NICE. I LOVE NEW FRIENDS!]

Haha, awesome. I recently sold van and when it was in the auto trader I got an email inquiry about it from a guy named "Patrick". We emailed back and forth for like 2 weeks when I started to realize he was kinda crazy, and when I researched it a little bit, it turned out he was engaged in this sophisticated auto scam out of Nigeria.

Almost fooled!

This one, however, is a gem.

Welcome back to the blog, Mike!

I love that Nigeria has become the centre of scamming sophistocation. They seem to have all the angles figured out - except when it comes to ANYONE WITH A BRAIN!

That excludes quite a few, however, so I guess they aren't doing too bad.

I've heard a number of (true) stories about big time execs falling for this balony and losing all their money, their friends and family's money, and their livelihood.

NG. NG.
(no good)

I never left!

Just swamped this month, that's all. Double workload, moving, etc etc.

However, I'm sure I will soon find it too hard to resist commenting on this election spectacle.

Stay tuned.

Go Biden!
