Greetings From A Muslim Sister
From Mrs.Aisha Mohamed



Assallam Alaikum,Waramathula Wal barakathum and may the peace of merciful
Allah be with you,please I have a problem and i decided it is good a thing
to write you.


Be bless in the name of Allah and sorry to intrude into your privacy.As i
hope that this mail meet you in good sense of mind.


Please read this mail gently and try to absorb the content therein as this
is not one of any such mail you read but i have prayed and fasted
irrespective to my present predicament believing God that i shall meet the
right person that will be sincere,faithful and God fearing.


My name is Mrs Aisha Mohammed,I am from FREETOWN the capital city of SIERRA
LEONE.I am married to late Mr.Abdullahi Mohammed who was a DIAMOND BUSINESS
MERCHANT and died as a result of the war in my country.We were married for
twenty years with just a child called Abdullahi junior.My Husband died as a
result of a stray bullet shot during the war.Since his death I decided not
to remarry.


When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million united
states dollars(10,000,000.00)USD in a SECURITY COMPANY here in the federal
republic of COTE D'IVOIRE. Recently,I was confirmed to be suffering from
Cancer and the Doctors informed me that i will not last for the next many
months.


Hence I decided to look for a foreign partner that will help me secure this
fund in his or her custody and invest it into a risk-free venture for profit
making because my son Abdullahi is too young and cannot handle such money so
i desire a sincere God fearing person that will assist me to process and
secure this money then send for my son and take good care of him as your
child so that he can further his education and after his education you will
give him rights to the investments and establishment as i may not live to
watch over him.


Please, contact me as soon as you receive this message if you will be able
to handle this project by assuring me of your willingness and capabilities
as well as your sincerity and not capitalizing on my present health
Condition to betray me;respond back to me here of your willingness here


I await to hear from you in due course as any delay from may cause me to
look for some other person as well.


To Allah be the Glory
Mrs.Aisha Mohammed

This user's account has been deleted. Thank you for posting, and in the future please feel free to forward such e-mails to "abuse" at this domain (@halofubar.com). I have a zero tolerance policy on any kind of internet scamming through my free e-mail service.

Welcome to Scamwarners. I expect you are the only free email provider to be a member.
Generally we aren't in favour of closing scammers' email addresses, as they are easily replaced. And much faster than it takes for us to have them closed. This one now appears on Google as a scam, but its successor won't unless or until it's reported.
I'm certainly not asking you to follow our policy though. Not as you seem to have a realistic prospect of keeping your service scammer-free.

Thank you for the welcome. I don't run a big service, but it is a free service and I expect at least that my users aren't trying to screw other people over. Sometimes I'm disappointed in that regard.

For anyone who has been scammed or is concerned about scams, I'd say this...

If you know what one scam looks like, you pretty much know what they all look like. Whether asking for help, or offering free money (which they also claim is helping them), they all start by giving out their own personal information to complete strangers and asking for personal information back. Big red flag.

Never, ever give out your personal financial information to strangers that approach you through e-mail. You wouldn't do it on the phone, so don't do it on the 'net. Take a look at a couple of the scams posted at this site, maybe print them out as a reminder, and be ever vigilant against these [censored] [censored] [censored] [even more censored] losers. :wink:

I can't go along with that. Emails from to total strangers offering huge amounts of money certainly should be recognised for what they are. It doesn't happen in real life.
But there is a whole raft of scams that mimic day to day activities. Job scams property rental scams, buying and selling scams, romance scams, etc. All involve sending money to the scammer of course, but the reasons for doing so vary, and seem plausible to very many people.

You're the expert. :lol: I'm just zis guy, you know?

All that I really want to impress upon people is that you shouldn't give out your personal or financial information to strangers over the 'net. Scams only work if you take them at face value.

With that, I'm out. Ciao for now.

Regards,

John Anderson

Your service is small, but you're one of the few that will kill a email account that appears in a scam email. Some providers are EXTREMELY hesitant to kill email account even if it originates from their account. Even if the email has eight pages of google hits some providers will refuse citing they need law enforcement or a court order to kill an email account. This is from years ago when I use to report emails that hit my personal account.

Now I just post them in the hopes people will google search and or bait them. Still its good to hear when people take scams seriously
