 		Jose's Money [SPAM]
SPAM SCAM. This is not a TRAILHEAD - please do not respond via PM or email
I recently got this e-mail from REMOVED, and it said that whoever sent it got my E-mail from Unfiction.

I dunno if this is spam or if it's a trailhead for something,(wouldn't that be cool?) but it's definitely bizzare, so whatever, check it out.

From Elina Jose

Dearest One,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I am quite aware that my message will come to you as a surprise because it is indeed very strange for someone you have not met before to contact you in this regard. I am writing to seek your partnership in the investment of my inheritance fund ( USD$7.5Million ) from my late father who died mysteriously on 12 july 2008

I am Ms Elina Jose From Ivory Coast, I am an orphan and I need your honest assistance to transfer my inheritance (USD$7.500, 000.00) which my late father deposited in a security company. here befor his assasination for reason which I will let you know as soon as I hear your quick reply.

l am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your assistance in the transfer of this deposit to your country. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within seven days you signify interest to assist me by contacting the security company.

Hoping to hearing from you soon. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to the needy

Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested in assist me. Please kindly Email me at (REMOVED)


Best wishes

Sincerely,

Ms Elina Jose.

 		Spam. They'll ask you for a deposit or some form of financial interest in facilitating the transaction.

 		A few of us recieved this from someone who obviously found the treasure trove of contact details here on the site so if any mods are reading, maybe it would be a good idea to put out some kind of bulletin warning others?

Edit - there have been several threads started about this, but it is most certainly a scam. Ignore it, delete it, whatever. Just DON'T reply to the email address given, and please don't start another thread about it. It's also covered over here ~ myf
