The World is trying to scam me this week-Anyone else get this?

DO WE TRUST PHILIP?

Anything that starts with "SERIOUS PEOPLE ONLY" should be avoided.

me too about an hour ago. i do not. plus other spam that can only be from greenspun.

I got that email 10 minutes ago - but even better, I have African impostors trying to con me out of money. Behold:
Sahili Kabila: "Dear sir,
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise, I got your contact from the international Directory of the unification movement, when some groups of sisters from Japan meet me in the hotel where I was lodging, they gave me a booklet which carries the website of your church.

Due to the little information I got about your movement and it leadership, I decided to Contact you for an assistance on a particulars urgent transaction. I hope the news about The death of my father president Kabila of the Rep. of Congo have flashed across your Country. Well it has happened but life must continue to it shape. Beloved, during the tenure of my father as a president of Congo, we were on top of the country treasure and most of the things he made such as wealth during his tenure, were not officially recorded.
He personal went with me and deposited one trunk box containing ($18.5million USD on my name as the beneficiary in a private security company . I want you to assist me CLAIM out this fund FROM the security company to your country for investment purpose with a good partner. I solicit for your help to claim the ownership of this box in the security company in HOLLAND. You as a good Christian, will suggest how many percent will I give to you of the total sum involved for assisting me. But if you will permit me to say how many percent will I offer to, 5% is what I feel to give to you for your assistance I want you to understand that this is a privileged information that should be kept secret and confidential with some reasons which I will later disclosed to you. I want you to bear one thing in mind, and what is that one thing, is LOVE ! LOVE !LOVE ! It is the fundamental power with which we can overcome and melt down every difficult, and thus accomplish everything. Love is the biggest gift we received from God and sealed proof that we are his children. Love !we have to strive and exert ourselves to find the love we lost. God is the essence of love ! love is a precious element God gives to human beings when they are born, with this love, we are able to bear each other burden, we are able to live for one another in times of needs. I have not heard much about your church, but with the little knowledge I have gotten, I am interested in the teachings and I want you to be my adviser in this regards as well, because spiritual life is more value than other things of this world as you can see. Because without having the knowledge of God, you can not manage your material blessings which God has given to you here on earth, otherwise, Satan the devil will lured you into bad activities with this your money that is why as we are going into this transaction, we must put God first. Lest I forget, you will make arrangement for me to pay my tithes as soon as we conclude this transaction. And this tithe will pay in your church in the names of all my families members including my late father so that God will forgives him of all the bad things he has committed during his life time on earth.

If it will interest you to assist me, contact me on my e-mail address above or you can call me on my mobile phone for more information. I am now on self exile some where in Abidjan my brother Joseph Kabila is now in power, but following the way things are going, there is the fear of insecurity in his cabinet my mother mrs sifa kabila is married to another man and as such the so called step father does not want my brother to be in that position.. I need your help as a good Christian with the fear of God, endows with the spirit and power of God, I believe you will not cheat me or betrays the trust and confidence I have repose on you . Dearly beloved, most importantly, is how I will inherit the kingdom of God this huge amount of money is not all important in this life but the kingdom of God and doing the will of God so this is my ultimate desirer now so I belief with you, I will see the light of God face in this era. I awaits your Godly response May the good lord guide, protect and bless you most abuondantly in the name of the true parents Amen !Amen !Amen !. Yours in the lord, MISS SAHILI KABILA.

And so far I've not heard anything.

Yeah AND FUCK OFF SPY SECURITY ASWELL.

i just got the serious homeworkers thing as well, have DELETED IT sorry "phil"!

I mailed him back telling him philip should only have one l.

And Hugh isn't a surname either.

I'm astounded that people still keep falling for these pyramid selling schemes. Can anyone not have heard that they don't work yet? Or is the lure of money for nothing simply too much for some people?

Some of the girls at college did one. It was called "Women Empowering Women".

Ha ha ha. i blame destinys child.

Yup, all these schemes are a load of old pony. But if you all send me £500 you'll be guaranteed a long,happy and prosperous life. I take cheque, visa, paypal, gold bars etc

Spy fcuking security GAR. I keep trying to block them but they keeps on coming.

I just get stupid porn ones. Thanks for nothing!

Hey someone got the Kabila one too! A serious case of "whaddafuckisthisonaMondaymorning?" Mind you never read that stuff about being a good Christian. For a moment I was thinking about a mix- up and cool DeLillo style conspiracies.

They've been going for months: I am [insert family relationship] to [insert name of recently threatened/toppled blood-drenched dictator] of [insert name of destabilising semi-industrial African nation]... Why does the pitch always include the named tyrant, tho? Wouldn't it work better if your relative had just been harmed by [INO blood- drenched tyrant]?

"Hallo my name is Felicity Milosevic..."

I resemble that!

The Wrath of the Injured Felicity. BE WARNED, Mr. Sinker! She will find revenge and you will quail. ;-)
