Attention:

I can tell you that I would be happy to link more than a friendship with you. But first,
let me introduce myself to you My name is Mrs. Simona Arapov, I am an Croatian citizen
and my husband died on 07 May 2008, He was a wealthy heir and businessman at the head of
a large holding.

My husband fell seriously ill and was taken to Western Europe for intensive care, but he
later died of his illness and was buried. So I inherited from my late husband the sum of
?12,000,000 Euros (Twelve Million Euros).

This money, I have hidden in a metal briefcase and deposited in a security and finance
here in Croatia. However, I have urged the security and finance that my box be kept to a
maximum security so that no person or even an Croatian government can not take notice of
its existence, until I am ready to withdraw, then the said company to respond to my
demand of maximum security used diplomatic means to send my suitcase out of the Croatia
and specifically to their parent company/security house in Western Europe and therefore
my box is therefore discreetly kept in the safety security and finance in Western
Europe.

This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement that my briefcase contains only
valuable treasures. This means that the company itself does not know the exact contents
of the box because it was shipped to Western Europe in a diplomatic assurance and
declared as containing Valuable Treasures.

Also, the main reason why I send you this letter is that, having not more confidence in
my surroundings here in Croatia, I find myself unsafe and I would like you to help me
quietly to take my suitcase money to a place much more discreet and stable in your
country where I can start investing.

If you sincerely want to help, we will discuss in advance the percentage that I give you
of the total amount found in the briefcase.

In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers chased me from the house and tried
several times to affect my life thinking that with my death all the legal documents of
the property owned by my husband would be their right.

Because of the reputation and influence that the relations of my late husband have, they
have torn me all the properties of my late husband and all his property. But they did
not stop there; they also forced me to reveal all the bank accounts of my late husband
by threatening my life. I therefore give them this information and they confiscated all
the bank accounts of my late husband.

I revealed to them all except the existence of the deposit that I made within the
security and finance company which is in Western Europe now, because this is my hidden
secret hope. The family of my late husband is not aware of the existence of the deposit
that I made in a security company and they will never know. However, I'm always afraid
of my husband's brothers as they continue to spy on me and even listen to my
conversations.

That is why I decided to find someone to trust outside Croatia that will help me to
withdraw the briefcase from the finance company and discreetly place the money in his
account for future investment.

I ask you to consider my situation is that of a widow and come to my aid because today
from this case, I have no more money and my financial situation is more difficult (my
financial situation is to zero).

If you want to help me, I will send you in my next email more details regards to this
transaction and also my details to enable you know who you are dealing with.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and I look forward to hearing from you for the
conclusion of this case.

Yours Mrs Simona Arapov,

Dear SCAMWARNERS administrator,

I was astonished this morning when I found out this post on your website.

It is incredible how in couple of minutes someone can destroy other's people reputation,
with one click. Someone used my name and surname, my citizenship to post this on your
website in order to destroy my reputation and I don't have nothing to do with this!

Now: I need kindly from your side ASAP details of person who posted this warning.
This person is scammer and I will do all what I can in order to find out who is this person
and to suit this person.

Please send me kindly TODAY all details - especially email address of person who posted
this false scam warning - I need kindly your fast cooperation on the matter.

I will prepare all necessary papers to suit this person - as well I will post this person details and
email address here on SCAMWARNERS.

See, you need to control all scam warnings - you can not permit people to put here FALSE scam warnings,
this is as well against the law. My identity was stolen and used to destroy my reputation.

Please I need kindly your assistance on the matter, ASAP TODAY.

I ask you kindly to remove this post FIRST OF ALL and secondly: to give me kindly all details of person who posted this fals warning! I need to find out who is this person: is this person coming from Croatia or from abroad. This is very important to me and I count kindly on your assistance.

I AKS YOU KINDLY TO REMOVE THIS POST - AS FALSE WARNING, AND TO ADVISE ASAP ON EMAIL ADDRESS AND NAME OF PERSON WHO POSTED THIS FALSE WARNING ON YOUR WEBSITE!

Hope not be forced to ask my lawyer assistance on the matter,

I count on your urgent reply and cooperation.

Best regards,

Simona

Lets look at the facts:

  • The email posted by Gateway claims to come from a Croatian citizen, but was actually sent from Cote D'Ivoire
  • The email was sent from and has a reply-to address of [email protected]. This means that the owner of that email address is involved in Advance Fee Fraud.

I can only think of 2 possible reasons for this.

  1. You are not the owner of the email address [email protected] and just by unhappy coincidence have the same name as the one that the scammer used for his scam. If this is the case, then no one has slighted you, just someone with the same name as you, but a different email address.
  2. You are the scammer and have realised that the game is up, and are now trying to protect your scam.

I've flagged your post for a Mod/Admin to look at and I'm sure they will be able to tell which of the above is the true scenario (my monies on the second one)

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

You appear to be a bit confused. Gateway, who posted the warning, simply posted a scam email he received, exactly as it was sent to him. The posted email was sent by a scammer to hundreds, possibly thousands, of people from the address [email protected] --Gateway was merely one of the people who received that email. He posted it here to ensure that anyone else receiving that email understands that it is a scam. The person who is using the name Simona Arapov and sending emails from [email protected] IS A SCAMMER. That person is NOT Gateway.

If you are NOT the person who sent that email, and you would like to contact, or even to take legal action against the the person using the name Simona Arapov to scam people, then you need to track down the owner of the email address [email protected] We do not know who that person is. Gateway kindly posted the headers of the email he received. As has already been stated, the IP address shows that it was sent from Cote D'Ivoire.

Scammers typically do not use their own names when running these scams. They may make up names, or they may use names of real people. We have seen hundreds of scam letters. If you are an innocent person with the name Simona Arapov, I can understand that you are frustrated, but that doesn't change the fact that people are receiving scam emails in your name, and they need to understand that those offers are not real.

Let me make this very clear: NO names, email addresses, or other information of scamwarners members will be released. Harassment of members will NOT be tolerated.

Simona,

Thank you for your email which I have replied to, as I stated someone is using that name and email address to send out scams.

It is unfortunate that they are using your name, but as I said the email was posted in good faith it came to an email account that only ever receives scam emails, and that is why it is posted here, so hopefully someone will not be taken in by it.

If you wish you can email me at
