I haven’t had one of these requests in a long while. Mmm, I wonder what did happen to that Nigerian King in the end?
Hello Friend,
My name is Mrs.Rosemary King I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by the lord to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s hard earned funds inappropriately.
I have asked the lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has,because He is merciful. I will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $5.5 Million (Five Million five Hundred thousand Dollars) to charity through you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get.
Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you.
I know i have never met you but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.I will pay you 30% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and frigile to do things myself because of my cancer.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished,as I don’t want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish.
Rosemary King.
I just love the bit about her not being able to get to the phone. A master stroke!
Quick tip ‘Rosemary’, if you’re going to contact me then please don’t use a email address like john080222@myway.com!

Wow I got the exact same email this morning. I cant believe what these scammers are saying nowadays to get people’s info. How desperate do you have to be for money to fake being a old lady dying of cancer?! I hope whoever thought of this scam ends up with sores in very inconvenient places so they can learn their lesson.

My name is Mrs. Ellen Swanson. I am a dying woman who has decided to
donate what I have to you and your church. I am 63 years old and I was
diagnosed with cancer about 9 years ago immediately after the death of my
husband, who has left me everything he worked for.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my
late husband to the you for the good work of God, rather than allow my

pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to
forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God.
I decided to WILL/donate the sum of £6,500,000(Six million Five hundred
thousand British Pounds sterling) to you for the good work of the lord,
and also to help the motherless and
less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows with part of the
fund. I cannot take any
telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me
because my health status.
The security & finance company will arrange the transfer of the fund once
I authorize them to do so and that would be when I hear from you.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and
please use the fund well and always extend the good work to others.

I recieved so many of these offers and every one is going to trust me with their millions because I am an honest person. How do they know I’m honest? Even though I am honest, they don’t know me, I might be just as corrupt as they are.
The last one was from Mrs Rosmary King and her attorney David Moore Barrister.
Just for the heck of it I put the attorneys name in and his picture came up with this law firm that is all over the world.
Beautiful buildings and places they work from and a very impressive web site.
Just for giggles I sent them an e-mail and told them the story about Mrs King and her attorney I haven’t heard back yet.
Maybe they are also using the attorneys name thinking they can scam yet another person and they just made up this beautiful web site from pictures around the world thinking it will fool whom ever checks out the attorneys name.
I may not be the brightest star in the sky but I know no one with that kind of money is just going to turn it over to just anyone. They already have attorneys to do their work why not let them do their job. I assume they must get enough people to fall for it or they wouldn’t keep trying.
I looked up Mrs King and your site came up.
I very seldom ever open e-mails from anyone I don’t know except I was bored.
I also get porne things for just about anything I just spam them and they keep coming. I have never been to a porne site in my life.
I guess all we can do is keep forwarding these scams to the better business bureau and any other law enforment agent until they get so tried of it and they get to the right people and shut the loop hole for these things.

I also received a letter from Ms. King this morning. How do these people get your address seriously? Anyway its sad that whomever this original person was is now getting this kind of slander to their name this poor woman probably has no idea that her name is being used like this and probably has never had any money at all. If I remeber correctly I had a Rosemary King at my high school, makes you wonder if your high school mate is getting rich off of e-mail scams.

Dear friend,
Thanks for accepting my proposal, may the good Lord continue to bless you…
I know it is hard to believe my story, especially this days that we have a lot of scam going on all over the world, it is very obvious that someone like you, can still be skeptical in this matter.
Actually I and my late husband had this dream before his demise, we are married for more than 25 years without any children to show, this reason it has been difficult for me to leave and couple with my present state of health, my family and that of my late husband has been making life miserable for me, because of my terminal cancer.
Please help me achieve my dream, I assure you that my attorney, Mr. Anthony Lemba, shall give you all the legal back up, you required even evidence of the fund shall be forwarded to you, as well by him.
I want you to contact him, via his email address below, so that he can give you further details of the transaction.
Name: - Mr. Anthony Lemba
Email: - mranthonylembachambers@yahoo.co.uk
Kindly contact him today, as there is no time in this transaction, for in the next five days i should be undergoing my first surgical operation.
Thanks and God bless.
With love,
Rosemary King

I have three e-mail accounts one personal and two for my web business. I have over six hundred of these fraud e-mail between the three. Most have been forwarded to the Fraud department. It is something I work on in my spare time.
I spoke with a gentleman that advice me to keep sending them to spam@uce.gov he claims it is a special task force that is working on shutting these people down.
When I first started sending the offers to them after about two weeks they stoped coming. I thought well that was easy enough.
Now after three weeks of free and clear, I started getting things from Google, Yahoo, some well known business and credit card companies.
I made the mistake of opening them just to see what they were offering. Wouldn’t you know it we are back to the same thing, they have money for me. All they need is all of my personal information and my bank account numbers and I will get all the money.
They are getting pretty sneaky using legitimate business names. Once you open it they know it is an active account and away they go, you are now back on the active list.
I am once again being flooded with their offering at least three to ten a day at times. It is getting to the point I do not know what to open any more. I need to open most all my business e-mails unless I can tell in advance what it is.
They are sending them balk mail so you can’t even spam them without moving them to your in box.
I have set up as much protection on my mail as I can but nothing works.
Our government needs to try to put a stop to people selling or giving mailing address away. Make it an automatic jail time if caught. Maybe it would stop some people. Of course another one of those things that would be hard to prove I suppose.
Sending those e-mails to the fraud people did at least stop the prone from coming, knock on wood.
I thank you for reading my comments lets all keep after these idiots that thing we are dumb enough to fall for these scams.
Please try to educate every one in your family and friends from children up to grandma and grandpa about these scams. We all know they have a God given generous heart to help out people in need of anything.
We need to protect ourselves and our families from these greedy selfish people that steal and use people for their own benefits.

I was getting sometimes up to 10 different e-mails a day they all wanted to give me their money. I started sending them straight to the gov. / FBI for two months I flooded their e-mail it didn’t help.
Even if you spam them with out opening them they can go in the back door and see it is a working address and you get right back on their list.
What I did was made two folders in my e-mail. One I called (Fraud) the other (Junk Mail) Without opening any of the e-mails anything I feel is one of those lettters I move to the Fraud folder. The rest that I feel is just junk I move to the Junk Mail folder.
You can pretty much spot the money ones.
For several months now the junk e-mails have been coming less and less I only get a couple a week now instead of 25-150 a week so I beleive it must be working.
I have a couple hundred e-mails un-read but hey if it works. I just get tried of cleaning all that junk away just to see it back the next day. This way I go down the list and clean it up in the few minutes it takes me to click on them and hit move. Good Luck!
Have a happy smiling good day and please visit our great interesting new web-site at http://www.earthfirstnaturalproductsplus.com

I just received one of these e-mails from jane mayon, and just like you guys i decided to check it out on google. I found you guys.
I might be naive, how can these people scam you just by having the information they ask. If I am going to get $ 10`000.000 dollars from someone who is dying of cancer, for sure I will not be transfering any money at all to no one.
SO, I ask again, how does this scam work?

I found this site and reported it as a ohising scam… but I am worried that they’re gonna use my details to take out a loan or something… I dunno what to do… do I just go to the police?
