SANDTON, 1892,<br>JOHANNESBURG,<br>SOUTH AFRICA.<br>PHONE+27 78 7634400<br><br><br>ATTN:MD/C.E.O,<br><br><br>  Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. Although<br>we never met before, I have every reason to believe that you are a<br>highly respected personality, considering the fact that I sourced your<br>profile from a human resource profile database on your country.Though, I<br>do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and fragile<br>political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent headlines in<br>the CNN, BBC news bulletins, My name is Mr.Morgan Yormie Wimpoe , from<br>Liberia, a Country in West Africa. My Father Mr John  Yormie  Wimpoe <br>former DEPUTY MINISTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY in LIBERIA. My  Father  was<br>falsely accused of plotting to remove the then PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA<br>(CHARLES TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles Taylor killed him.<br>you can verify this from these international newspaper website below:<br>  (i) <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm</a><br>  Before he was killed, my Father instructed me to escape with my family<br>to a hide out in JOHANNESBOURG, SOUTH AFRICA, and he confided in me that<br>he left some money in a Diplomatic Trust Company in Abroad, (name<br>withheld for security reasons) . All i require from you is to assist me<br>in claiming the fund (sealed in diplomatic consignment) from security<br>company and invest in your country. When you claim the fund, i shall<br>come over to your country with my Family so that we can start a new life<br>If you may ask why do I need a foreign assistance  or why can't i take<br>the cash transfer by  myself? The answer is that there  was an exclusion<br>clause in the original agreement between the company and my father <br>which states unambiguously that 'nobody, not even himself, can have<br>access to the consignment in the company, and it has to be transferred<br>to a foreign beneficiary outside Africa. This was done because he <br>envisaged his arrest and this clause were inserted to prevent any<br>seizure or infiltration of the fund.<br><br>  My decision to contact you is therefore, informed by this and due to my<br>present social status and total ignorance of the business world. I<br>believe you will appreciate the enormity of trust I repose on you by<br>placing the fortunes of our family in your care. Permit me to request<br>that you should reassure me that you would not let me down in any way.<br><br>  On my part, this is my assurance and guarantee to you.In as much as you<br>follow my instructions carefully, religiously and promptly my guarantee<br>of a hitch-free success remains unshakable. I have contacted the<br>Diplomatic Security Firm to confirm the deposit, which is worth<br>$32,Million,(Thirty two million United State Dollars Only). You will be<br>given 20% of the total sum at the end of the transaction. If you will be<br>willing to assist us claim the money and invest it in your country. I<br>want to assure you that all modalities are in place and it is a risk<br>free transaction.<br><br>  Kindly include your Full names, Private Telephone and Fax numbers where<br>you can always be reach, Your Residential or Company Address to enable<br>me send some other important information across to you. This proposal is<br>highly restricted and should be handled as an urgent transaction<br>requiring trust and Confidentiality. Please reply to this email:<br> Sincerely,<br>  Mr.Morgan  Wimpoe.<br>For the family.<br>Phone#+27-78 7634400<br>Private e-mail:(morgan.wimpoe@webmail.co.za)<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vlad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 29th 2008 11:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/12/myspace-scam-offers-free-macys-gift-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/12/myspace-scam-offers-free-macys-gift-card/</guid><description><![CDATA[and yet another phisher scam<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: AOL <br>To:  <br>Sent: Thu, 29 May 2008 3:11 am<br>Subject: Alert about your AOL billing information on file<br><br><br>Billing Information<br>Dear AOL Member<br> Contact Us  <br>Have a question regarding your AOL account?<br><br><br>Contact us now! <br>E-mail your questions <br>Call us at 1-800-827-6364<br> <br>   <br>  Billing Information Dear AOL Member , We were unable to process your most recent payment.
