wow i forgot about this place until today i got a PM from some stupid spammer:

Dearest One,

My name is Miss Lizzy Kala the only daughter of late Mr/Mrs John Kala. My father and mother were very wealthy farmers and cocoa merchant when they were both alive. After the death of my mother, long ago, my father was controlling their business untill he was poisoned by his business associates which he suffered and died.

Before the death of my father on September 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan where he was admitted, He secretly called me his bed side and disclosed to me about the sum of Three million two hundred thousand US dollars . USD ($3.2million ) he left in suspense account in one of the bank here in Abidjan , it was the money he intended to transfer overseas for investment before he was poisoned.

He also instructed me that I should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice who will assist me transfer this money in overseas account where the money will be save and invested wisely.
Because of the current political problem here in Ivory Coast I decided to transfer the money to abroad where it will be save and invested. therefore, I am crying and seeking for your kind assistance in the following ways:

(1) To provide a safe bank account into where the money will be transferred for investment.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am a girl of 20 years old.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit for me in your country
I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me i will offer you 25% of the total money

As soon as I receive your urgent reply indicating your interest to assist me to successfully transfer the money into your nominated account,Then we shall move into the transfer process as i will be giving you the bank contact where my late father deposited the money.

For the confidentiality of this transaction please strictly reply me through my private mail box: ( [email protected] )

Best regards from,
Miss Lizzy Kala.


The only good thing this PM brought was me back to the site :D
