John Tanga wants me to be his daddy.

From:John Tanga.
TEl:+22507695333,
Abidjan Afrika.


Good Day Dear,

I feel it is very neccessary to bring to you the problem we are facing and I believe that you will assist us. Since we have no person to turn to for assistance.

My name is John Tanga,am 20yrs old,a native of Sierra-leone in West African regoin and am the only son of late Chief Robert Tanga ,my late father is the former Director of Cocoa expoter in the Republic of Sierra-leone,who was poison to death by his co-workers in the office,after two years I lost my mother,I am now left with my sister.

I wish to let you know that we inherited wealth ,cash sum of USD 15. 500 000.00(Fifteen million,five hundred thousand dollars) this money was his own share during his days in the office before his death.

My late father told us that he lodged this fund in fix_suspend account here in Abidjan ,for onward transfer to a foriegn account for security reason,he as well instructed the bank that I should be 25 years before having access to the fund. My problem now is to look for a reliable person who will assist me to transfer this money out of Cote d'ivoire because of recent political crisis here in this country, where we are presently now as refugees.

Please my reasons of contacting you is to request for your co-operartion and assistance to help me move this money out into a foreign account of yours where the money can be remitted in your care and take us as your children untill we grow up.We have in mind to offer you 15% of the total sum,while 5% will be for any expencise you will make to see this transaction through.

Remember to keep the confidentiality required in this transaction, while I expect to hear from you.Please call me with this numbers:+22507695333 if you are willing to assist us.

Thanks and God bless you.

Yours sincerely

John Tanga.

You seem to be a target for this type of stuff Mike!

My latest flood of "spam" is in the form of 3-4 penny stock tips that are "guaranteed" to make me rich!!! The problem is, they come from a different email address and a different subject line every time and makes it close to impossible for me to block.

This site explains the nature of those scams and gives several example's of turning the scam around. Some of them are pretty funny.
