How many variations of this will there be????


Dear Sir

My name is LOI C.ESTRADA,The wife of Mr. JOSEPH
ESTRADA, the former President of Philippines located
in the South East Asia.
My husband was recently impeached from office by a
backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate.
My husband is presently in jail and facing trial on
charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the
mysterious charge of plunder which might lead to death sentence.
The present government is forcing my husband out of
Manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter.
During my husband's regime as president of Philippine,
I realized some reasonable amount of money from
various deals that I successfully executed. I have
plans to invest this money for my children's future on real
estate and industrial production. My husband is not
aware of this because I wish to do it secretly for
now.
before my husband was impeached, I secretly siphoned
the sum of $30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United
states dollars) out of Philippines and deposited the money
with a security firm that transports valuable goods and consignments
through diplomatic means.
I am contacting you because I want you to go to the
security company and claim the money on my behalf
since I have declared that the consignment belong to
my foreign business partner. You shall also be
required to assist me in investment in your country.
I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will
not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me
properly, I expect you to declare what percentage of
the total money you will take for your assistance.
When I receive your positive response I will let you
know where the security company is
and the payment pin code to claim the money which is
very important.
For now, let all our communication is by e-mail
because my line are right now connected to the
Philippines Telecommunication Network services. Please
also send me your telephone and fax number.
I will ask my son contact you to give you more details on
after i have received a responce from you.
Thank you and God bless you and family.
MRS LOI C ESTRADA

Yes, and make sure you give her all of your personal information so you can take part in that 30 mil 😉

Isn't it amazing that there is actually people that would do it....?

Perhaps then an effective twist on this particular scam would be the promise of sexual favors..
 
This is just a twist on the Nigerian scam. I really hope you're not falling for it. Later on, they'll ask you to deposit some "good faith money" in the account to show your honesty and to supposedly proove to the authorities that you have a vested interest in the account when it comes time to withdraw. When you do that, they'll disappear with whatever you have deposited. Don't fall for it, it's a scam.
 
I went ahead and sent all my private info to this nice lady, I'm sure she's honest. She also even asked me for my bank account and credit card numbers so she could deposit money in it for me and pay off my credit cards. What a nice lady she is turning out to be, I quickly gave her all that info as well. After I put in just $1000 into the account, I'll be rich! whoo-hoo 🙂 Free AT subscriptions for all!

..... or perhaps not.....

Ahhh! I was hoping for a real deal. Too bad.

Play her along for as long as possible.

Post the transcripts.

I highly doubt that it's a "she"....

Who cares, that wasn't the point.

Considering that we have no way of affirming the gender of the author, & that they have identified themselves as a female, I chose to continue the use of the female identifier to avoid confusion.

Any questions?

I've seen the intro letter to the Nigerian scam several times. What i'm wondering is... how do you know what happens next?

The FTC has had bulletins out informing people of this fraud for years now. I'm sure if you search around their site you can find the info.
 
does anyone remember the other phone scam where they tell you something happened with your acct and to call x number to correct, at which point you'd be charged like 400 dollars a minute on your phone bill? You should give her THAT number for her "son" to call. I imagine "she" will get a very not so pleasant surprise.
 
Better hurry, supplies are limited.

Act now and we will throw in the amazing 4 slot stainless steel toaster absolutely free <low fast voice> for the shipping and handling charge of 39.95</low fast voice>

<---got my 30 mill.... 😀
