Money Scam

You've all probable receive the bank transfer scam email or fax before. Typically it starts out:

YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE THIS LETHER FROM ME
SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW ME PERSONALLY, THE PURPOSE OF MY
INTRODUCTION IS THAT I AM MR. JOHN MOYO. THE FIRST SON
OF MR. JAMES MOYO WHO WAS RECENTLY MUDERED IN A LAND
DISPUTE IN ZIMBABWE.

I confess I was hoping to receive a lether soon in order to wipe down my motorcr. It really is tragic about his "mudered" father. Maybe he meant "mullered"?

It continues:

BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE HAD TAKEN ME TO
JOHANNESBURG TO DEPOSIT THE SUM OF US$20.5MILLION(
TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS )

If I did this then my kids would have "mudered" me and wouldn't be sending poxy emails like this. Check out the scambaiting site on how to wind these people up.

He ends:

I HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR YOU,

Well I have a few options for him (including telling him how to get capslock off) but I won't go into those just now.

FIRSTLY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO
HAVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY FOR NOMINATING
YOUR ACCOUNMT FOR THIS TRANSACTION, OR GO
INTOPARTNERSHIP WITH ME.I HAVE MAPPED OUT 5% OF THIS
MONEY FOR EXPENSES AND 15% OF THE MONEY FOR YOU,SO
THAT 80% WILL BE FOR MY FARMILY INVESTMENT. ALSO GIVE
ME A CALL IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS MAIL.

Well thanks. He does leave his no.: 27-73 318 1653 (in S Africa) so why not give him a call?
