Reptile & Amphibian Forums

of the type of email we get daily in response to our ads. Just thought you'd like to see. The reason I post this is because we know some people that took money from one of these and called us for advice. IMHO just delete!

Also a quick note for people asking about specific animals put something in the Subject line about the animal, and if you have a junk mail Blocker many times when we don't respond it's not because we don't want to it's because we getted blocked.

Here's the email:

Dearest One,

I know my mail will come to you with a lot of surprises. It was in my
despirate search for a very sincer and honest person who will not betray me
that i came in contact with you believing that you in particular will not
jeopardise this information i'm shering with you. I had your contact amongst
others and due to its esteeming nature,i decided to contact you having
prayed over it.

By introduction, I'm , the son of late Mr.and Mrs (I took the name out)
owner,president/CEO of CAIO Group (Removed) limited.

My late parent are devoted christain,and my father a very successful
business man who dealt in cocoa export (which forms one of the major exports
in this country)
and animal husbandry.He was also into Gold business through his Sierra
Leonian connections before there untimely death on the 28th of november
2002.

By listening to BBC, CNN etc, I guess you are aware of the present crisis
going on in Ivory Coast? on the evening of november 27th 2002, a day that
will be indelible in my mind, some men struck at our home shot my father,
mother and two other junior ones
My father was accused of financing and Aiding the rebels Loyal to the slain
Robert Guei to figth against the Government.I only manage to escape the
assasins with my junior sister.What used to be a very happy and peaceful
home turned to a nigth mare.

Before my father finally gave up the ghost he told me he has deposited a sum
of Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$11.700,000)left in
one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivroy coast West Africa.
He made the deposit of the fund in a metalic trunk box as containing family
valuable that belongs to a foreign partner. He further told me that he
deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my name as the
depositor,and for the company not to open the box he made the the beneficary
as foreign partner.

Please, i'm contacting you to kindly help me out of this situtaion and
please do permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help us as your family ?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you ?

Further more you will also assist me to obtain my traveling documents so

Have a look around 419eaters.com to see how to handle these and have a good laugh.

I've received those kinds of e-mail as well. I think they troll websites looking for e-mail addresses. They've sent them to me at e-mail addresses that I've provided at some forums and at the e-mail address on my website. The problem isn't necessarily your ad. The problem is that someone can find your e-mail address on the web.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

Hello Camlon:

Don't know why you wasted your time posting this message.

Everyone who posts on KS gets them. It's one of the "benefits" from advertising on the internet. They come in all forms of BS.

There are "mutations" out there amongst the normal population who have gotten the hang of internet chit chat.

Mike

And here I thought we'd heard the last of Mr. Smith from Africa.

I get them all the time too - I agree - best to just delete them!
