The dealings of an Email scam.

For the past couple days I've been having an interesting conversation to what seems to be a Nigerian E-mail scam. Truth is, these people really tick me of, Nigerian or not. I mean; not to discriminate, this could be from some kid in Brooklyn. Either way, I feel like I should expose this. Before you read on, you should check out this video. So here goes...... I initially received this email: Dear Friend, I am Mrs. Margrét Jóhannsson, a devoted christian from Iceland who was married to Late Engr. Brown Jóhannsson {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Saudi Arabia for 19 years before he died on the 25th of August, 2008. Before his death, he deposited the sum of 5,142,728.00 Dollars with a bank In Canada. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith by setting up a charity organisation. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you as the present beneficiary of this money. Please contact me via my email address on the subject. Await your responds and God bless you. Mrs. Margrét Jóhannsson Email:magrtjhssn1@rogers.com I responded with this: What do I have to do? Sent from my iPhone (At this point it is very clear that these folks are getting a rough translation from an automatic translation website. The grammar is horrible.... granted this is supposed to be a multimillion dollar lady from the UK.) Their response: Good day to you, I am very grateful to you for the interest shown in my plight and I want to assure you that you will be greatly rewarded for what you have chosen to do. Although we know each other for the first time but I believe our father has directed me to you as I prayed and searched over the internet for assistance because I saw your profile on Microsoft EMAIL owners list and picked you. Be assured that you stand no risk as this is my money which I and my late husband laboured for thus me as the next of kin has the sole power to donate the funds to whoever I wish. I do not want my husband's family to know about this deposit because of their greed. This is why I am communicating with you only on email and I am making communication with the finance firm also who understands my predicament. Please note that I cannot write much cause of my health, so I require your urgent response so I will immediately write my chamber to prepare a court injunction/power of attorney making you beneficiary to my fund. To prepare this document, I will require your full names and address. With this document you will contact the finance firm to arrange the transfer of the fund to you.As soon as you have received the fund then you will help me set up charity or distribute it to charity organizations and hospitals.I pray to be alive when you receive this fund and start this project so that you can visit me here if you wish to. Your sister in the lord. Margrét Jóhannsson MY RESPONSE: My full name is Fernando Luis Lopez My address is 12211 belvedere dr. Woodbridge va 22193. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Sent from my iPhone THEIR RESPONSE: Dear Friend, God bless you and I thank you so much for your word and trust, commitment and assurance towards the use of this fund to help the less privileged which has been my dream as well as my late husband, I want you to know that God definitely has a purpose for this and he will surely guide you through this noble course even when I am not alive but my spirit will be with you, but always pray for me. I have already issued a letter of authority to the finance firm in CANADA making you beneficiary to my deposit. I take this decision because my time is short and I want to dispense this fund in the right channel before I leave this sinful world. God has led me to you and I want you to know that so far you have heeded to his call he will not let you down.

My finance firm advised me that such huge amount of money cannot be easily transferred from Canada since I am keeping it a secret from my husband family due to their greedy behavior thus proper and legal arrangements have been made with their London Branch in which you will be transferring the money from.

But this whole time, we've been conversing I have been giving you vague responses. It is of much surprise that you trust me... even with my simple answers. I am also a religious man, in fact I grew up with my Father being a pastor... so I know what faith is. So, please dont give me a faith answer, or anything that has to do with the divine. Finally, if you truly are serious about this transaction: PLease feel free to have your lawyer contact my attorney. They can handle the final preparations for your " so called" funds. Oh ... one more thing: I traced your IP address, for security reasons. So unless you tell me exactly where you are (be honest) we will no longer be doing business. Thank you. ....TO BE CONTINUED
