Please i am sending you my passport identity first that you can know me as you can see that i am not in a comfortable position for a thorough communication, i am always getting scared of my life for dangers running all over here in my country this time which everybody are living in fears,

Please kindly send me your information for identification, your full name, office / home address , phone and your identity passport or whatever of your ID card that can identify you to me.  Immediately i have received this, I will forward to you the documents of deposit and can also contact the lawyer of my father in Malaysia whom my father told me is his international legal caretaker and witness during the time of deposit he made with the bank in Malaysia. I hope this lawyer can help in all legal advised for transferring this money to your possession for me and as soon as i have the opportunity for leaving, i will travel out from here for my life, I will move out of Cote d`Ivoire and can arrange for meeting you for i am afraid of staying here anymore as my father has passed from this ugly political leadership of no confidence.

She even added a fake passport photo : " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I replied asking for her fathers death certificate. The scammer won't reply I think

[bad_brain]

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I have seen a report on TV a little ago about that whole scammer scene, half of the country lives off that. a french lady that was scammed too specialized in hacking into scammer mail accounts and webspace, she showed that they have all kind of fake certificates stored there too.

keep us up to date man...

I will hope to hear from you to help me out.

What shall I ask now?

[skulldragon_001]

What the..?
Do you even understand that you are talking to a bot?

I get gazillions of this kind of spam every day at Y!Mail. They are all the same, either "we have chosen You/You have won $$$$, because we know you, but we still need Your info, because we don't know You." OR comes a similar message, like hpprinter100 got, asking for anything, but not Your info, and when you answer, doesn't matter at all what you reply, you will automatically get message about "thanks for reply", but then requiring you to give info about Yourself.

So, don't bother, it's just a bot, that just gathers info about suckers.

only the initial spam mails are automated ones, as soon as someone shows interest and becomes a potential victim they sit in their stinky internet cafes and take care of it personally....

ask for copies of the bank docs...
