WONDERFUL NEWS!
These two little goofballs are coming home on April 1st!
In other news, Phil and Annie are flying out on the 5th, to make Mad Planz for the wedding in September. Much running around town and planning stuff, including dress fitting. Busy busy busy!
And on to the fun: the Spam Report!
March 15:
-a 'loan offer' from mr.alexsmith11@vf.vc at 'Ascent Global Finance AGFi International'. (what domain is at 'vc'?)
- a notification of money to recompense scam victims, from mr.joancole@vf.vc (_Mr_ Joan?), at the 'OBAMA FOUNDATION'. Really! From Obama! Of course I will send him my bank information! :-)
- a notification that I'm an 'email winner!', from camafe@chile.com. It seems that my email was drawn at random for the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY PROMO. Riiiiight. A reply to caearl2012@aol.co.uk of course, with a bunch of my personal info...
March 16:
- a duplicate of the UK lottery post. In case I deleted the first one, I suppose?
- a duplicate of the Obama Foundation post. The President is nothing if not persistent!
- from john_wm777@yahoo.com.ph, from a bank official in Nigeria who wants to give me $1.8 million dollars for my past efforts to assist him, if I'll contact his secretary at vivian_obasi1985@ibibo.com, with my personal info, of course. It seems he has a new partner in India who is helping him out. Uh-huh...
- from Duke Gyan at duke1002@yahoo.com, with a reply email at duke.gyan244@adinet.com.uy (Uraguay? This is a new one.) He is "a politician and a previous member of Ghana's executive committee on contract awards.
My purpose of connecting you is to crave your indulgence to assist me in securing some funds abroad for safe keeping which I incidentally kept to help me finance my senatorial elections campaign under the party umbrella of National Patriotic Party (NPP) this year December 2012". It seems he has some kickback funding from China and Malaysia that he wants to hide abroad, and is willing to cut me off a chuck of it if I'll help him. Would I please give him my bank info so he can make the deposit? Oh, but of course I'll help smuggle funding out of the country! It is what I live for!
On March 17:
- another loan offer from ascentloancompany@hotmail.com.
- Whoa! The offer of a BMW from someone at dcmattey@lagrange.edu. From an email lottery that I've never heard of. They even offer a phone number to call and verify! Yes, I'll call +447024016394... wait, where is that? And do they really want to give me a BMW in exchange for a bunch of personal info?
- a Dr Raymond CH'IEN Kuo Fung at hangsengbank@yahoo.com.hk (return address: raymondchienkuofung11@9.cn) is a bank official- "There is the sum of $550,000.000.00 in my bank, there were no Beneficiaries stated concerning these funds which means no one would ever come forward to claim it and That is why I am asking that you be my partner and we work together as partners so as to have the sum transferred out of my bank into Your Account." Why, how generous of him! "Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred from my Bank to your Nominated Bank Account,We shall then share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you." And he has a website where I can confirm this, at http://www.hangseng.com/e_about_us/board_of_directors.html Of course, he needs to know my personal info, as well as " Your Level Of Investment". Oddly, I don't think I'm interested in this offer...
- a MRS SUSAN ABDEL-HALIM at info@mail.com (return address: susanabdelhalim@gmail.com) is a widow with cancer and no heirs. She has a substantial amount of money in a London bank, and " I want this muslim organisation or individual to use this money in all sincererity to fund mosques, orphanages,widows and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Quran." She doesn't want the money to fall into the hands of her family, who are Christians, and she wants me to help her hide it overseas... Hmm... think I'll give it to the Diocese...
- a letter from Mr Dom May at dm200028@yahoo.com.hk (return address:dommay10001@yahoo.co.jp) He has "funds total US$7.5 Million and you were made the beneficiary of these funds
by a benefactor whose details will be revealed to you after handing over the
funds to you in accordance with the Agreement I signed with thebenefactor when
he enlisted my assistance in delivering the funds to you." Funny, I don't remember discussing an inheritance with him.
- another note from Raymond CH'IEN Kuo Fung. Hmm. Must have slipped my mind.
- another note from Duke Gyan, who is apparently still unemployed.
- yet another note from Raymond CH'IEN Kuo Fung, who still wants to give me money.
March 19:
- Wow! Mrs. Suha Tawil Arafat, the wife of Yasser Arafat, at sut6565656665@msn.com (return address: suharafatw@yahoo.com) She says that "Since the death of my husband I have been humiliated by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. I have been subjected to physical torture." And of course there's secret money hidden abroad and she wants my help... and please to reply at suha.tawil@ymail.com. Gee, she has a lot of email addresses. How does she keep up with all that spam?
- wow, loans at 3% from info@loan.com! (return address at mr.hassan@ws-loei.ac.th) I've never heard of the J.M.C. Loan Finance Company. Have you?
- another loan offer from Ascent Global Finance AGFi International
March 20:
- from hmtreasury6@gmail.com (return address: hmtreasury617@yahoo.co.jp) "The treasury directorate division of the UK Financial Monetary Service

evidence in your favor to authorize the release of
GBP3,500,000.00(Three Million Five hundred Thousand Pounds Only) to
you being an outstanding payment accrued interest on your
contract/inheritance payment." Hmm. why does HM Treasury London
1 Horse guards Road, London
SW1A 2HQ; London UK have a return address in Japan?
- a Miss Liza Wong (liza.wong.2012@gmail.com) have an inheritance for me from a billionaire Business Mogul Late Mr. Moises Saba Masri, a Jew
from Mexico. Of course, this $8.5 "can be paid to your account.this transaction will be share 60/40 by both of us". Not a bad split, eh?
March 21:
- from p_ball_1@hotmail.com, a Powerball Lottery with a return address of: forexdept191@w.cn has an attachment for me to open to contact them for my claim. Right, accompanied by your virus...
- Oh no! Princess Fatima from Libya needs my help! Email princessfatima@freenet.de (return address: princessfatimael@gmail.com). She has US$7.1m left by her father, in a secret fund, and she needs my help transferring it... Gee, a Princess! She wants me to contact her at princessfatimaa@w.cn, to her her get the money out of Ghana. I never knew that Ghana had such a thriving banking industry!
- and Google has an office in Lagos, Nigeria, email address googleinc@lehoavn.com (return address: inqecom012@yahoo.com.hk). They have $500,000 dollars for me just for using Chrome! I received this on email I read using Thunderbird, and I'm currently typing this on Firefox...

My "fund is now deposited with our Bank/Security Bangkok Bank of Thailand and insured in your name. Due to mix up of some numbers and names, we ask that you keep this award from public notice until your claim has been processed". Fair enough. I just have to contact raporn.james@yahoo.com.hk to verify all of my information. Hmm. Why are all of the reply addresses in Hong Kong?
- Mr Raymond Kuo Fung , Executive Chairman, Hang Seng Bank wrote me from lydia@webmail.maehdros.be, which showed up ion my http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwindow as from lydia- which I'd thought was from my daughter. Well, he has $550,000.000.00 for me if I'll invest in his trust. Return address is raymondfung12@hotmail.com. Huh. Haven't I already gotten something from Hang Seng Bank? I seem to remember that the other offers were better.
March 22:
- a personal memo from info@donation.com (return address: helpdask@yahoo.cn). Someone who did not offer a name "won a Jackpot Lottery of 318 million dollars($318 million)
and have voluntarily decided to donate the sum of 159 million
dollars ($159 million) last year to 100 people as part of a charity
project to improve a lot of 100 unknown lucky individuals all over the
world." They'll give me $1 million pounds if I'll go to this web address to verify: http://www.vidjin.com/318-million-lottery-winner-shaw-mcbride-gives-away-his-money-through-the-grace-of-god.html Wow. Grace of God? That's a new one.
- the BBC FINANCE DEPARTMENT at cmena@diresacallao.gob.pe (return address: department_financebbc@yahoo.cn) has £18,000,000.00 for me as a lottery promotion part of the 2012 Olympic Games. Gee! I wonder if it would cover tickets to the Games?
March 23:
- an American soldier in Libya writes from riccotorres2@yahoo.com (return address: riccotorres1@wwjd.ru) that he and two buddies found $32million dollars hidden in "Muammar Ghadafi's secret house" and he wants to give me $7 million if I'll send him contact info. Hmm. Why would an American want to route money through Russian conduits?
March 24:
- Mr.Zuman Balanji writes from balanjizuman32@yahoo.com.vn (return address: wuniontransfer001@e-mail.ua) "We have concluded to effect of your payment through western union $5,000. Daily
until the total sum of $9,500,000.00 is completely transfered. The Western
union Agent: is Mr.Yoyo Babayalian." Cool. Although, I don't remember sending anyone $5000. "But you will not be able to pick it due to that your transfer was stopped by
the I.M.F demanding tax clearance of $160usd please try as much as you can to
send to them their tax clearance fee in order to release your fund." Well, I guess I'm stuck. I don't have that much in the back. Might if I hadn't sent them five grand...
- another from Mr. Balanji. I guess they really need that $160.
- from mauro@correo.iflowsa.com.ar (return address: frharrod@rogers.com) Mr.Roy Walker who says that in thanks for my help securing a new partner in South Africa, he has made a deposit of $500.000.00 (FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) in addition to my lottery winnings of $5.5m now amounting to $6,000,000.00 (Six million United States Dollars) with the Mr.FrankHarrod.

- 3% loans from silvagomesrep@netbandalarga.com.br (return address: springer_efinance@staff.reynholm.co.uk). I'm not sure how international loans work. Hmm.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
- a second one from springer_efinance. In case I lost the first one.
March 26:
- from Mr Van Hugo at vanhugo074@yahoo.com.ph. Apparently I helped him out for something, and am due some compensation. But "Having reviewed all the obstacles and problems surrounding the transfer of
your compensation payment of US$2,500,000.00 and your inability to meet up
with some charges levied against you due to the past transfer options, I
have concluded an arrangement with the Board of Directors of Bank Of
Africa (BOA) to issue you an ATM CARD where your payment will be uploaded
and mailed to you through courier service." It appears that I took care of that, but now they need $255.99 to cover customs. So I need to contact ups_customers_cares@yahoo.com.vn in Benin to make that arrangement. UPS is in Benin?
March 27:
- Mr. Samuel Kofi at teodie@dubailime.com, and he has $7,500,000.00 on the books at the bank he's manager of, that is in excess of their profit, and he wants to get it out of Ghana without a trace. And he'll give me 40% to help... what happens if we get caught, Samuel?
- a second one from Mr. Kofi. Someone stuttered.
March 28:
- BBC FINANCE still has money for me. Would I please reply? I might, but it's the end of the month and I'm broke...
See how much money I could have if I just had some to send to all of these people?
And of course, a couple of emails a day from people who think I need to increase my 'size and longevity'... for an organ that I don't have. Guess I can just dump those in the trash...

A recurring post!
Ok, just because I find them amusing, and because I can, I'm going to start posting my Nigerian scam spam here, for your amusement and for mocking material. :-) The first editions!

And last for today:
This is from yahoo@interest.com and they offer a reply to address of mrchinaboyanchaibkk2@yahoo.com.hk

From Mrs Susan Albert:
Mrs.Susan Albert. 31, Springfield Crescent, Camden Town, London, MH1 9NP, England. Here writes Suzan Albert, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Albert Bradly an Arabian who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without a child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Two Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family and i, I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows,widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth.

I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me.I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney who will instruct you on how to contact the bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family. Send your response to my email address: mrs.suzanbradly@yahoo.com.hk Yours Faithfully in Christ Mrs. Susan AlbertBradly.Uh-huh. God told me to hit *delete* on this one...

For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the National Lotto Group auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files and our financial update, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the Draft the faster the action, because when the auditors arrive and find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will call back the accrued interest to the lotto treasury account. What we need from you now is any form of your identification for example; Your International passport or your driver license, your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication to you with your mailing address where this DRAFT/CHEQUE will be delivered.

Short note on the cries for war...
About Iran, I think the President is quite aware of the drumbeating going on. He's also aware that: 1) Iran is a LOT bigger than Iraq, and has a LOT bigger, better equipped, and much more disciplined military. We'd be walking into a buzz saw. 2) The Iranian people are not anywhere near as dissatisfied with the current government as Iraqis were. They are also much more culturally unified, and better educated. There would be no Quislings.
The average American has no idea what Iran is about. All they remember is the overthrow of the Shah, Khomeni, and the hostage crisis. That was 30+ years ago. We have not adjusted our view of them since, and if we don't it could be very bad. Very bad indeed.
