LifeHiscost Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 ____________this is a scam? Re: Letter of Intent Hide Details From Mr. Sebastian To International Monetary Fund (IMF) 54 bis, route des Acacias Case postale 1516 CH-1227 Geneva Switzerland. Attention: I am Mr. Sebastian of IMF Head Office Switzerland. Your email appeared among the beneficiaries, who will receive a part-payment of your contractual sum of $8.5 Million US Dollars and has been approved already for months. You are requested to get back to me for more direction and instruction on how to receive your fund. However, we received an email from one Mrs. Virgie Brown who told us that she is your next of kin and that you died in a car accident last week. She has also submitted her account for us to transfer the fund to her. We want to hear from you before we can make the transfer to confirm if you are dead or not. Please in confirmation that you are still alive, you are advised to reconfirm the below listed information to enable us facilitate an immediate payment for you. 1 Your full names 2 Your present contact address. 3 Your telephone & Fax numbers. 4 Your Occupations/age/sex. 5 Your Private Email Address. Once again, I apologize to you on behalf of IMF (International Monetary Fund) for failure to pay your funds in time, which according to records in the system had been long overdue. Thanks, Mr. Sebastian Maybe I should write them so they know I'm already dead? God cares! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Ellen Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 My son sometimes replies "when you learn to write in English correctly then contact me" That's a bit rude, but maybe what they deserve. Quote
Administrators Gail Posted July 9, 2013 Administrators Posted July 9, 2013 It is amazing to note all these high-end contacts we seem to have made! Not long ago I opened up my junk box for curiosity's sake and found a whole bunch of them. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
LifeHiscost Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 I have a bonafide contact in Africa that was here for about 3 months, a member of our church. He was on an agricultural learning effort, gaining information to take back to his country for the purpose of gaining the ability to increase their food supplies as well as acquiring some aid to put in a well for clean water, a life preserving reality. He gave me information about how much the educated as opposed to the illiterate made per hour in wages and it was $0.04 USD per hour to 0.12 per hour for the educated. At the present most of their crops are hand tool cultivated and harvested. I guess I need a little compassion for those who cook up schemes to skim a little off of those who live in the land of milk and honey. Besides, when I get the 30% of that $8,000,000 I'll be able share a little more often with them. That's kind of a callous joke. My bad. God cares! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

nuff sed Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I got one of these the other day from Hong Kong purporting to be from the VP of a bank. I answered telling him that my son lives in HK and if he will kindly furnish the street address and telephone number of the bank I will have my son stop by for further discussion. I wonder why I have not received any answer as yet. Nuff Sed Quote
