Does anyone fancy a bit?
I received this email on saturday:
I sent the following reply:
Here's what I got back:
I'm using the alias "David Tinycock, which (s)he hasn't picked up on, so it appears I've got a full blown scammer on my hands.
As (s)he got my email address from DIYnot, I thought it only fair that we all put our heads together and see if we can't scam the scammer.
Any ideas for a reply are more than welcome.

Hello dear friend,
Please permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Nina Bassa, a 23 years old Liberian citizen, 5.6ft tall and fair in complexion and also a high school leaving certificate holder. My father, late Dr. Bassa Luis was a highly reputable business magnate (a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Liberia during his days. He was poisoned by his business associates in one of their outings on a business trip. My mother died when i was a baby and since then my father was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his relatives, who were so jealous because of his wealth and progress.
Before the death of my father in August 2008. He called his secretary who accompanied him to a hospital and told her that he had a sum of $3.8 million U.S. Dollars (Three million eight hundred thousand U.S.D) which he deposited in a bank. He used my name as next of kin. He also explained that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned. He said that I should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice where i will transfer the money and use it for investment purposes.
After the death of my father, my uncle started to persecute me because of my fathers
properties which he latter snatched from me under threatening. My father instructed me not to tell any of my relative about the money because of their wickedness. I left my country to Senegal in west Africa by the help of reverend father. I came to Senegal under refugee were I'm currently residing now. More I explain myself, the more I shed tears, I am in a critical condition.
I want you to assist me transfer this money into your account and i will equally come over to further my education in your country after the transaction. It's one of the instructions my father left for me. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me as your friend?
2. Can i completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount will be good for you after the money is in your account? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. In my next mail i will give you contact of the bank where the money was deposited. I am looking forward to hear from you. Do not turn me down because you are God sent to me.
Thank and God bless you.
Yours faithful
Nina.
