Am I Rich?
I got this email today. So what do you think am I going to be set for life?
RAYMOND ABUMA (Esq) ABUMOND ASSOCIATE CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE AVOCATS ET AVOCATS-CONSEILS LOT, 2743 ,COCODY ABIDJAN,COTE D' IVOIRE Dear Jeff I have access to some legal and confidential information concerning a late Mr. Allen T. Jensen a resident investor here who recently passed away. I handled some legal briefs for him concerning a deposit of valuables and cash he made with a deposit company here. Owing to the demise of my client and by virtue of my relationship with him, I have decided to use all the resources within my power to retrieve the deposit, since my client died intestate . Until this time I, the solicitors, have been trying to determine the whereabouts of any of the relatives who will assume the responsibility of safe guarding the estate of the deceased. It is not my will to see the above matter treated that way hence I conducted a search that will assist me in first and foremost fighting for the safety of the consignment and all that is contained therein.I am very much aware of my client's last dealings with the deposit firm and I have the singular privilege of being in possession of some of the signed agreement papers. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client because If a relative is not found within six weeks then the Public Trustee will seize the entire estate of my late client, a substantial windfall for both the government and the deposit company. I look forward to your cooperation and your extreme discretion in this matter. Until such time as this matter is settled, I will continue to work with you to see that the deposit is retrieved and forwarded in your name as a bona fide proxy to my late client. We shall within the course of the next few days plan and execute how best to pursue this mutual matter with a view to cost effectiveness, I have all the necessary legal documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. Yours sincerely Raymond Abuma Esq

Re: Am I Rich?
no, sorry - you're still poor
it's a common (at least nowadays) scam. I'd play along with it - and then at the right time be like "well I'm Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC - we're doing a story on ..." blah blah blah and then have a bunch of dudes with cameras and staged mics come out of nowhere. it'd be hilarious |

I've been patiently waiting for the money to roll in, but all I get is more requests for money to pay for processing and such. SHOOT, I feel foolish now. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Am I Rich?
I bought this book a couple of years. He plays with a couple of these guys for a year or so under names like Elmer Fudd.

Re: Am I Rich?
One of the biggest targets for scams is the horse buying business (some things NEVER change). The owner of "Big Horse Farm" has been scamming the scammers for a number of years. Some of the experiences she has posted are hilarious. She's nailed many of them real good. Go here to read any number of them - watch it, you may get hooked and spend hours, BTDT.
