Compliments of the season,(NIGERIAN 419 ADVANCE-FEE FRAUD SCAM FROM "MR. ABDULDRAME")

So, is "Mr. Abduldrame" just figuring out that it's Christmas and New Year's past, or is he getting a jump on Ash Wednesday and Lenten season? Neither. It's his hook to butter you up so you'll go along with him. Then when he gets your cooperation, he'll start demanding your cash. Ignore him. He's an idiot who only understands Ignorant Scamese.

Compliments of the season,



Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I got your contact from the professional data base found in the internet yahoo tourist search when I was searching for a foreign reliable partner. I assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity.

After series of prayers and fasting, I was divinely directed to contact you among other names found in the data base yahoo tourist search. I believe that god has a way of helping who is in need. My name is Mr. Abduldrame the bill and exchange (assistant) manager of the bank of Africa Ouagadougou Burkina Faso .

 
Do not take this transaction to be a joke because it is my life. Dear friend, I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise. I am the bill and exchange manager in bank of Africa . I hope that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.


I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of $11.3 million immediately to your account. The money has been dormant for many years in our bank here without any body coming for the claim. So get back to me as soon as possible for more details.


You can call me +226 78 68 65 92.


Thanks Mr Abduldrame

How does anyone take this other than a joke, an attempt at extortion? I just couldn't resist so I gave him a few facts of life:

Dear "Compliments of the Season"




Thank you for making me laugh! But, seriously, do you really expect people to be "surprised" when there are tons of these same scams being generated--by the tons--several times a day???



No, I'm not at all "surprised", I'm bored! I mean, I'd think you scammers would come up with a new angle after while, knowing that this scam has been done time after time! And as for my "personality", you'll never get to know me, except to check out my blog. Oh! did I mention that I have a blog and your silly scam e-mail is going to be posted so people can have a good laugh at your expense? Check it out sometime, "Compliments"! You'll see what I mean about the same scams being done over and over and over and over and over...yawn.

'Scuse me. I need a nap now.


Hi-ho! Cheerio!
