Scammer often use servers in different countries to avoid spam filters that would otherwise put their rubbish in your spam or junk folder where it belongs. In this case I have replied (safely and anonymously) to the first scam email which appears to come from either the Czech Republic or the Ukraine. The scammer replied using a completely different email address and his true location is revealed as Cote D'Ivoire.

The type of scam is particularly popular in Cote D'Ivoire. Helpless orphans needing help to get their inheritance transfered out of Africa. It is a scam everytime. SImply delete rubbish such as this. It is too good to be true.

Subject: THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL


Dear *** ********,

Thanks for your mail. I and my sister are very happy to receive your mail and to know that you are willing to help us in this time of need . We pray that God will grant you the grace and mercies to help us as we are facing an untold hardship here in Abidjan at the moment. As i am writing to you now I and my sister have no place to lay our heads because we have been driven from the little room where we were living because we can no longer afford to pay for it.

As I have told you in my first mail, we are orphans and our father together with our mother was poisoned to death on the 17th of October 2008 by his business associate who conspired with my father's younger brother to kill our father just to take over the company our father formed . They have taken over everything our father laboured to acquire and now they want to kill meand my sister to seal their evil deeds.

As God could have it, their plan failed which forced me and my sister to abscond to Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire , which is were my late father deposited the money (USD9, 000,000.00) which I have told you about.
please, all I want you to do is to assis us so that we can claim this money from the bank and for you to provide a secured bank account where the money will transferred and also help me and my sister to come over to USA as soon as the money is transferred so that we can continue our education over there.

We are willing to compensate you with 15% of the money.
we want you to send to us your full contact address, telephone and fax numbers so that we shall go to the bank and submit your name and present you to the bank as the foreign partner and now our foster parent to my late father and now my foster parent who is to receive this money for my up-keep and the continuation of my education.
I am waiting for your response
yours sincerely
Marcel Kunta
