ASSIMILATE APPROPRIATELY AND GET BACK TO ME. (Nigerian 419 Advance-Fee Fraud Scam From "BONIFACE VUGA")

I’ve always enjoyed “Star Trek: Next Generation” reruns and watch whenever I can. This scam’s subject line kind of reminded me of the “Borg” episodes—“You will be assimilated”. I know, my silliness comes through again, but just couldn’t help myself! “Mr. Bonaface Vuga” wants “help to transfer money” to a “foreign partner”. He doesn’t have any money to “transfer”. See, he wants to “transfer” your money to his bank (offshore, no doubt). He will do this, by charging you fees, and perhaps steal your personal info. If you receive this, lose it and forget about this Loser. I also sent him a reply, and I hope it rocks him back on his heels just a bit!

INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP


ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO

Dear Sir/Madam,





With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his personal or private account and for investment purpose. I am Mr. BONIFACE VUGA the son of Late Mr. Ernest VUGA, who was the "Chairman" of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe.

My Father was among the few blacks that were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mug Abe Administration during the land dispute that just happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my Father, we decided to move out of ZIMBABWE because our lives were in danger because of the money that my father kept in his hidden safe in our house. The amount contained in the safe is (TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS).

We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) and as such the law of South Africa does not permit us to operate or open any bank account here in South Africa or be involved in any financial transaction with any bank here. That is why we contacted you to assist us in this transaction. Kindly get back to me for the full details of this transaction.

I anticipate your quick response.


Best regard.


Mr. BONIFACE VUGA


(For and On behalf of my family)


20. CLAIM STREET JOHANNESBURG

I'll bet "Mr. Boniface Vuga" wasn't "anticipating" this "quick response"!

My mama always told me to never believe anyone who tells "Boniface" lies and tries to steal your money by offering an "invitation to a partnership" via e-mail. I do believe I have "assimilated appropriately" and "gotten back to" you, Scammer.
