These people just do not quit! Got an e-mail 'Please Help' |

Dear Friend,
I am Mrs.Mercy Kume, wife of late Mr Anthony Kume, a wealthy Zimbabwean farmer who was brutally murdered in a land dispute together with his oversea partner Mr. pete Bailey and the whole of his family as result of land act reform by Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe. The whole of our farmland amd properties were destroyed by the mobs. The new land act reform which affected the white and black farmers, resulting to massive killing by war veterans and lunatics in the society.
My husband died without leaving a word neither to me nor our only son, but his partner was rushed to the hospital where he later died after 2 days. Before my husband partner died, he confided in me that he deposited US$29,000,000 (Twenty Nine million united states dollars) in one private security company in Europe, that the money was meant for the purchase of new machineries for mechanised agriculture for the Zimbabwean farmers movement and new farms in Swaziland. He said that all I have to do is to source for an oversea partner who can be placed as the Beneficiary of the fund so that I and my son can have a new lease of life again. He made me promise that since he has no other leaving relatives, that I will not let money go down the drain.
I was later diagnosed to have cancer of the breast which resulted to my losing one part of the breast to surgery. Presently, I am hospitalised because my condition started deteriorating in a very strange manner. My doctor gave me the saddest news of life as he told me that the cancer has spread to every part of my body including my liver. I have been boldly told that I just have a very short time to leave. As things are now, I am not afraid to die, but I don¡¯t want my son to suffer and I don¡¯t want to let late Mr.Bailey down by not having this claimed.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Late Mr. Pete Bailey .This you can do by corroborating with my Kenneth who is currently seeking political asylum in Europe, and our family attorney to actualise this claim. I will request that you send me your personal details viz: Your full name and private home address, your telephone and fax number.this will enable the attorney to place you as the next of kin to late Mr.Pete Bailey.The sharing mode will be as follows.
1.30% of the fund will be for you
2.50% will be for my son which you will have to invest for him as his guadian.
3.10% will be donated to the Southern African research center for cancer.
4.While 10% will be set out for all the bills encured to conclude this transaction including the attorney fees.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and with my support and endorsement I can guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. I cannot answer to any phone calls here in the hospital because of my situation.So if you are interested in this transaction, kindly declare your interest by replying to this e-mail via my private mail mercykume@netscape.net
For your information the success and safety of this transaction will depend on your co-operation to keep it confidential and secret.As soon as I receive your favourable reply , I will proceed to forward you with further information.
Thank you and may God bless you.
Yours respectfully,
Mercy Kume(Mrs)

7. "Pathetic PayPal shit. . ." |

Ever since I made a contribution through PayPal, I've been receiving Spam by the dozens each day. My ISP had been great for filtering that crap out but all of a sudden, I'm getting it by the bucket load: solicitations for help with my mortgage, to help me lose weight, to score with "hot Debbie who lives just 9 miles away."
Is this what you mean by "pathetic PayPal shit"? PayPal is the only variable that changed in the last few months and I'd really like to know what's caused this infusion of spam. Thanks.

I got tired of SPAM so I changed my email address.
I even changed my Yahoo! email address and if I'm going to buy something I sign up for a throwaway email address so SPAM cannot make it into my InBox.

I got one too, played with him for a while pretending I was hooked. Thought it was the least I could do to waste his time.
Ruphus,
I have so far set up ten new accounts and have invested 10,000 dollars US to maintain them- it is not enough to both avoid my countries reporting laws and shuffle the money appropriately to keep it under the IRS radar.
