9/10 for creativeness.

Hello,

My name is Michel Kale Zubango. My father before his death was a gold and cocoa merchant, he was also an elder in the church. But, my father was a Gay and this causes alot of troubles in the family.
5 days after my father came back from a business trip outside the country, he was given food
poison. Before he gave up the ghost, he called me told me that his death has to do with the family memebers . He told me about the money US$5.5M which he secured outside the country. He said that he revealed this to me because i am also a GAY.
That i should look for someone outside the country to stand as his associate inoder for the funds to be retrieved and this is why i have contacted you.If you will carry out this deal with me, do write me back soonest for further details.
Regards
Michel

This is what happens when you give Africa a decent telecoms system, they get a laptop and interweb access and start these 419 scams cause they acn't do it anywhere else now.............

Dutch police have arrested 111 suspected 419 scammers. The arrests on Saturday follow the end of a seven-month investigation – dubbed Operation Apollo, AFP reports.

By John Leyden for The Register.

This story has been reproduced with permission.

Eight of those detained were carrying false papers. Many others among the group of West African (mainly Nigerian) suspects are reckoned to have entered the Netherlands illegally or to have overstayed their permitted stay.

The alleged scammers are suspected of running a series of lottery-based (AKA 419-lite) scams. Prospective victims of these frauds are first informed by email that they have won fictitious lottery prizes. Victims are then tricked into handing over money-up front to cover processing fees or other fictitious expenses. The promised windfalls never materialise and dupes are left nursing their losses.

Investigators in the Netherlands estimate that 2,000 internet con-men are active in the country.:reading:

So come on then. How much did you send before working out it was a scam? It ticked all your normal worthy liberal boxes.

Africa - tick
Gay - tick
Religion - tick

:gayrepost:

No conservative would fall for stuff like this, we prefer plausible looking timeshare scams :)

Please remember that to the left the Christian religion is NON PC. It's one of the others ( no prizes for guessing which ) that ticks the right box.

Love this......read a report about a new scam and houses in Spain.

Apparently a person phones up about a property for sale and says they will buy the property for the asking price,quickly and unseen. They then say they want to the reserve price in cash,$200,000 say or swiss francs but its Ok you can change it at the bank and seeing as you have to go to the bank tp change the reserve deposit can you advance them say 100,000 Euros for a hefty commission.Then you meet in a swish hotel in Milan or France and do the deal, you give them 75,000 Euros,your commission is 25,000 Euro and they give you 200,000 in Swiss Francs for the reserve deposit. You leave with 200,000 Euros in 500 notes all fake.

greed = muppets=skint :P
