Good Day,

I have contacted you in request for investment to be a fund manager to my client. I am an attorney with the Ghana bar, Law Firm Client Mrs. Sofia Aziz Nationality of Libya

She is in agreement with me to source on her behalf, a foreign

Investor with many years of experience to manage her late husbands

Funds, deposited with above 1.500kilo of gold packed in two diplomatic tag cases

For safe keeping in a federal security company here in Africa before his untimely death,

She request your assistance to claim this cases directly from the security company to your country for safe keeping, for more details and privacy (monitory@blumail.org)

Or (johnlambertlaw@gmx.us)

Regards,

John Lambert Esq.

(I have a friend, shall I say a STUPID friend, that fell for something similar to this last year. He is now $30,000 in debt)

You're really serious? More like "really stupid"! "Libya"? "Ghana"? What, you think we're all money grubbing conservatives? Take a walk.

..but since I don't know anyone currently in Africa, I delete anything that says it's from Africa or anyone who makes offers too good to be true, so if I did get it, I deleted it without ever looking at it...

I completely ignored it, but will be reporting it. Even if it was real, WHICH IT ISN'T, if "John"is getting his investment advice from strangers on the internet than he has a REAL PROBLEM and shouldn't have a problem.

Another friend and I tried to stop him at $3,000. But that's when his stupidity kicked in.

Yeah I know how it feels to try and stop a friend from doing something stupid and they just don't listen.

Oh! An investment lawyer representing a client in Africa wanting to award you big money and cash prizes for your assistance. There's no way that could be a scam, right?

I usually get those in my spam mail box, never seen them on social sites before.
For those interested, you can send $10,000 to me and I will make sure you get about the same from me as you get from them.

I usually get about two of these sorts of emails a day. I'm getting bloody sick and tired of them, and I wish that solicitation for fraud were a crime because I'd love to put all their asses in jail. I cannot believe this ever works, but apparently it does.

Clearly the powers need to be made aware of this person as their account needs to go away.

Not this one, but I've had cons ask for help getting money/girls/royalty out of whatever country they claim to be in.

I usually ask them to send me money and then report them to SH.

It's hard to believe that anybody would still fall for this stuff. I've heard about various con games since I was a child.
