Default Scam Alert

This came across as she was a member of the forum, just and fyi

FROM:MRS.SUSAN NKOMO.
LOME - TOGO.

Compliment of the season.

I am Mrs. Susan Nkomo the wife of late Dr.Williams Nkomo, who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.

My late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the entire minority.

Before his death he had taken me and my only son who is 18 years old to Lome Togo as one of the most peaceful country in west Africa and also a tourist country, to deposit the sum of US$15 MILLION (Fifteen million united states dollars) with a security and finance company as if he foresaw the looming danger in zimbabwe.

The money was packed in a trunk box as valuables/family treasure for security reasons and deposited with a security company for safe keeping.This money was embarked from the purchase of new machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.

This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the Modus Operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killing and mod action by the war veterans and some political thugs.Precisely, more than thirty one (31)people have so far been killed. Heads of government from West, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabes plan. Suddenly, Togo Development Community(TDC) has continued to support the Mugabes new land act. It is against this background that I and my family who are currently residing in Lome Togo, West Africa have decided to transfer my husband's money into a foreign account.

I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking for a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing my husband wealth.

I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in Togo for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same political history. Moreover, the Togolaise foreign exchange policy does not allow Assylum Seekers immediate investment chances hence I am forced to look for an immediate alternative.

As a woman, I am entrusting my future and that of my family into your hands hoping that you will not betray the trust, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.

For your assistance, we are offering you 20% of the total sum, 75% for my family while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses we may incure during the course of this transaction.

We wish to invest our part of the money on commercial property based on your advice.

Finally, all we need from you is assurance that you will not sit on this money when it finally gets into your personal or company account in your country.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your interest via my Private Email:susankomo@hotmail.com

PLEASE YOU CAN READ ABOUT PROBLEMS IN ZIMBABWE FROM THE LINKS BELOW.

PT Barnum is rumored to have said "It is morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money".

In the movie Guys and Dolls, Sky Masterson (a gambler played by Marlon Brando) says

"One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider. "

My point is there is always someone out there with more greed and gullibility than smarts who will fall for these obvious scams. If you are not trying to get something for nothing, you can't fall victim to these cons.

Having said that, the 419 site is just amusing as heck. It is fun to see clever people playing the scammers.
