Urgent Attention: Beneficiary<br />
<br />
<br />
I am special Agent Kelvin Willaims from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Intelligence Unit, we have just intercepted and confiscated two (2) trunk boxes at John F Kennedy airport in New York, and are on the verge of moving it to our bureau headquarter.<br />
We crosschecked the content of the boxes and found it to contain a total sum of $4.1 million and also backup documents which bears your name as the receiver of the money contained in the boxes, investigations carried out on the diplomat which accompanied the boxes into the united states has it that he was to deliver this funds to your residence as payment which was due you from unpaid contract, inheritance, lotto, loan, etc.<br />
<br />
We cross-checked all legal documentations in the boxes, and were about to release the consignment to the diplomat, when we found out that the boxes is lacking two very important documentation which as a result, the boxes has been confiscated and kept in our security vault.<br />
<br />
<br />
According to section 229 subsection 31 of the constitution ratified in 1992, your consignment lacks proof of OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND LEGAL DELIVERY PERMIT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE from the joint team of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and homeland security and therefore you must contact us for direction on how to procure the two certificates, so that you can be relieved of the charges of evading tax which is a punishable offense under section 12 subsection 441 of constitution on tax evasion.<br />
<br />
You are therefore required to get back to me on this email { kelvinwilliams116@yahoo.com.hk } within 72 hours, so that i will guide you on how to get the needed documents. Failure to comply with our directive may lead you into problem; you may be arrested, interrogated and prosecuted in the court of law for money laundering.<br />
<br />
<br />
We may also get the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on money laundering involved if you do not follow our instructions. You are also advised not to get in contact with any other institution, since your funds are here now in the United States of America and can be delivered to any country of your choice once you secure those required documents.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Dear Friend,<br /><br />Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Joseph Poon, Managing Director and Deputy Chief Executive of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a Secured business suggestion for you., Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr.Fayez Abdulaziz Mohammed who was a business merchant and a contractor with the Iraqi Government but a citizen of SAUDI ARABIA,Made a numbered fixed deposit for 24 calendar months(2Years), with a value of Twenty Two million Four Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Mr.Fayez Abdulaziz Mohammed along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit His Resident. After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr.Fayez Abdulaziz Mohammed did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty Two million Four Hundred Thousand <span style="color: red; font-size: large;">(Why is thousand capitalized, but million is not?) </span>United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years and six month the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Fayez Abdulaziz Mohammed so that you will be able to receive his funds.<br /><br />WHAT IS TO BE DONE:<br /><br />I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mr.Fayez Abdulaziz Mohammed,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized <span style="color: red; font-size: large;">(by who? Or is that whom?)</span> method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Should you be interested please send me your<br /><br />1,Full names,<br />2,Private phone number,<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> (As opposed to what?)</span><br />3,Current residential address.<br /><br />And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below;<br /><br />(<a href="mailto:joseph_poon114@yahoo.co.jp" ymailto="mailto:joseph_poon114@yahoo.co.jp">joseph_poon114@yahoo.co.jp</a>)<br /><br />And finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. I want to know if you are willing to follow up this business seriously before I can give you more details about this transaction,I shall be waiting for your response and assurance.Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Joseph Poon<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <br />

<br />
They were really excellent! The chef put a touch of lime juice on the salsa which really zinged! The home-made tortillas were so much better than store bought, too!<br />
<br />
The "chef", by the way, was my daughter.<br />

And by massive, I mean ninety books checked out! Yea for that, anyway!<br />

A legitimate company, according to the web site I Googled. I had to Google it because there was no URL on the letter.<br /><br />It says I've been selected as a NEW CANDIDATE to be a Mystery Shopper! Uh huh.<br /><br />It says (I have to call them for details, of course. It's a 760 area code in SoCal.) I get to evaluate Western Union by sending $945.00 to someone. I get to keep $200.00! Wow! All that money for so little work! What a deal!<br /><br />I Googled the phone number (with the word 'scam') and I find the SAME phone number used for a scam in Poway (California) with a DIFFERENT company. Interesting.<br /><br />Oh, and the letter has a Canadian stamp on it.<br /><br />So many clues that it is a TOTAL SCAM, as if anyone had a doubt!<br /><br />I hope STAR Marketing put a disclaimer on their website that they have nothing to do with this scam. It can not be good for their business to be linked to dishonesty by these scammers.<br /><br />They (the scammers) sure did a good job on the letter and check, though.The Squeaky Cyclisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328453966818701990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219020172214164037.post-71388093032809102642010-09-26T16:20:00.000-07:002010-09-26T16:25:21.093-07:00A New ScamYay, I won the Department Of State Immigration Lottery.

And I strongly and meant to believed that you are a foreigner I suppose, I'm one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria, London, Malaysia and Spain two year's ago. I was even contacted through email by an individual claiming to be my country (FBI) and they told me that they will help me too and they too sucks me dry by me sending them money to help retrieved my money and me having a new and better life and they all refused to pay me, I had paid over $91,320 while in the US my husband and family had to leave me because I refused to listen to them when they are telling me to stop, trying to get my payment all to no avail.<br /><br />So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet Barrister George K. C. Esq, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD AUTHORITY and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake and that they are all working together as different gangs and partners. It all started with one man Barrister Frank Okoh who contacted me to help him and since then my life was hell till now.<br /><br />All the above name and many more were listed to me and showed to me by Barrister George K. C., because I was scammed by Mark Welling, Barrister Frank Okoh & James Obi. But I was disappointed when I went to my country FBI face to face to seek that I have been paying money to them. And they was very annoyed with me because they say that I am going above the law by dealing with people that are claiming to be them, I was heart broken and ashamed of my own self all of that i lost my hard earn money and my entire family at that. That’s when I took the mind and spirit to go down to Nigeria when it all began?<br /><br />There are still real transactions in the world globe today but the scammers are just much than the real transaction so we are all confused so is better you gets the compensation money instead of pursuing empty dreams. When I went to the U.S.A embassy I was directed to Barrister George K. C. Esq of London immediately, He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment and he showed me care and help me when I first approached him I was very annoyed with all black's at that time. Right now I'm the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds amounting to $970,000.00. Moreover, Barrister George K. C., showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email and name as one of the scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister George K. C. in London.<br /><br />You have to contact him directly on this information below.<br /><br />COMPENSATION AWARD AUTHORITY<br />Name: Barrister George K. C. (Legal Practitioner and Consultant)<br />Cell Number: +44 762 419 9026<br />Email: gkchi@sify.com<br /><br /><br />You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister George K. C. was just $1,325.00, so you have to take note of that. Don't worry at all as you do not need to go down to his country Nigeria all he need's from you is for you to identify yourself briefly and he will take it from there. I am traveling to Mexico to find my family now and start a new and better life but I had to do some good before I take my live as I will not be coming to the computer for long again till I see my family and start a new and better life. Once again my brother and friend do not waste your time and money on those empty promises. Instead, go ahead and contact Barrister George K. C. immediately you can call him if you like.<br /><br />Thank You and Be Blessed.<br />Ms. Elizabeth Park Fowler (Elizabeth)<br />Trustee/Treasurer, Triad Foundation Inc.<br />1902 South Wykagyl Street<br />Tampa, FL USA. 33629<br />Education: BS, Business Administration.</blockquote>The Squeaky Cyclisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328453966818701990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219020172214164037.post-45011758117887054742009-11-08T10:30:00.000-08:002009-11-08T10:32:26.258-08:00DinnerCharred hamburger and boiled spinach...dinner last night.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zooomr.com/photos/27270@Z01/8488553/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8488553_8a02e09c50.jpg" width="500" height="376" alt="2009November 07 hamburger" /></a><br /><br />Try to make a poem out of THAT!The Squeaky Cyclisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328453966818701990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219020172214164037.post-21961787466682521822009-11-03T18:02:00.000-08:002010-07-16T12:01:15.248-07:00Gross Copyright ViolationI was at the dentist the other month.

We have successfully notified this company on your<br />behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank within the United<br />States of America so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any<br />delay, henceforth the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD has been deposited with<br /><span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1239843403_3">Bank of America</span>.<br /><br />We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to receive the<br />winning prize as we have verified the entire transaction to be Safe and 100%<br />risk free, due to the fact that the funds have been deposited at Bank Of America<br />you will be required to settle the following bills directly to the Lottery Agent<br />in-charge of this transaction whom is located in Lagos, Nigeria.
