I am just watching a very interesting program about your old computer hard drives.

Apparently you think you are taking your old PC to the local dump, these are getting shipped out to Nigeria and then the hard drives are being sold for as little as £15.

BBC reporter bought 17 hard drives and 10 were from the UK, the amount of information he got from them was horrifying. The authorities in Nigeria have just raided an Internet café and people were using email software to send out scamming emails. The police took the guys away and then came under fire.

Oh no!!! I hope they haven't got my new friend Solomon Dukula!? He owes me some cash

Quote:

My Dear,
I know this proposal letter might be a pleasant suprise to you as we don't know ourselves before. I am Mr. Solomon Dukula, a Liberian born 30 years ago, now seeking asylum in Dakar Senegal under (UNHCR) I contacted you as a cause of my serious search for a reliable and trust worthy person that can handle such a confidential transaction of this nature.
My father (Late) Dr.Edward Dukula the former Deputy Minister of Finance under the executive civilian president of Liberia, but was assasinated by the rebels during the civil war and properties destroyed, but I narrowly escaped with some very important documents of (US$7.5M) Seven Point Five Million U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a high financial company here in Dakar-Senegal under my name as next of kin.
However, I seeked with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality like you to help me transfer this money pending when I will come over to your country for us to meet for investment of the money. Furthermore, I only want this to be done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment, and I also want to add here that if accepted by you, you will serve as the original beneficiary of the money.
I feel confidence therefore, to introduce this offer to you. For your participation and all your assistance regarding this transfer, I have decided to give you 15% of the total money. Therefore, you are requested to furnish me back immediately you receive this request to transfer this money from Dakar Senegal to your country residence account or any account of your interest.
On commencement of this transaction I want to let you understand that the future of myself depends solely on this money. So please keep this business to yourself only to avoid raise eye brow of any third party.
I am eagerly expecting your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Solomon Dukula.

If anyone wants to contact Solomon for a cut of the deal here is his email solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in

And again in case the mail harvesters missed it first time

solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in

Ah, mail harvesters... so if I wrote solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in then they'd automatically harvest the address solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in and send lots of spam email to solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in ?

Is that what you mean?
I do hope that solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in doesn't get lots of unwanted mail. That'd clog up solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in 's inbox...

you mean solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in and not solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in

ratcliffe · #6 (**permalink**) 14-08-06, 09:29 PM

Yes I'm pretty sure you meant solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in or at least I think you did.

Pen Simon · #7 (**permalink**) 15-08-06, 01:18 AM

Ha! for a moment, I thought you meant solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in in that case, I had better remove solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in from my contact list and put solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in in instead! - I would hate to think that solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in was getting emails intended for solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in

TerryH · #8 (**permalink**) 15-08-06, 03:03 AM

I think thats so out of order. Dont you know that constant
repetition of solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in
as an email address will get loads of spam mail going to
solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in and that by
repeating it the likelyhood is will he will gets loads of spam etc.
to his solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in account.
and that by
repeating it the likelyhood is will he will gets loads of spam etc.
to his solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in account.

Apologies, bit of a double post there.

I'm in two minds to let him know by emailng to
solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in ,
but think that might just add to his
solomondukula2001@yahoo.co.in in box.
