SIMBIAT TUREH
Dear Sir,Compliment of the season to you. I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise, with the full hope that you will bear with us to assist me in this mutual transaction that will extend our both families I am madam Simbiat Tureh from Guinea Bissau. My late husband Chief Johnson Tureh who was into raw Material export, died last year after a brief illness. Before he died, he deposited ( two big trunk boxes containing US $ 26.4 million with other valuables in a security company here in CÌ«te d'Ivoire registered it as Art work belonging to his foreign partner who will be coming for the release and export to abroad. Please, I want you to focus your mind in this transaction for this is risk free , legal and genuie business.I ask for your assistance and permission to submit your name as my late husband's foreign partner for release of this consignment and transfer/export to your country abroad for safe keeping and investment. I humbly ask you to response to this email immediately with your Tel/Fax numbers to enable me forward to you those documents concerning the doposit.So as to conclude this transaction under 15 goodworking days.My son and I have conclude to give you 10 % of the total money after the release of this consignment for your noble assistance. And note that this is the only hope of my son and me for survival therefore try to keep it confidential for the security of this money and our dear life. Waiting for your urgent response.
Best regards.
Madam Simbiat Tureh and Son
As you see, there are a few inconsistences here, so I (Natalia Sturgeon), get a little picky and greedy, I also throw a little bait at the end, to see if I can get in a "romance saga":
NATALIA STURGEON
>Dear Sir,Well, actually is "Dear Madam", since I am female but anyway I act as being properly saluted by you and your faithfull son.
Seasoned Greetings to you too!
I profoundly regret the death of your husband, I hope he didn't suffer much. What was the cause of his death?
I want to help you but you must clarify me some things:
First, where are you? Because in one part of the message you say you are in Guinea Bissau, and some paragraphs later you say you are in C™te d'Ivoire. And your email address is a French one. Excuse me but I am very confused. Then, please tell me more about the Art work that alledgelly belongs to me. I imagine you can imagine that I can't go just to the security company and claim for (two big trunk boxes which alledgelly contain Art work that belong to me when I can't answer the simple question the guy at the security company will ask me, that is "Describe me the Art work you say it is yours, please?"
Do you understand me? I can't just go and say "It's an sculpture" when your husband said it was a painting.
Also, tell me the nationality, the sex and the name of your husband's partner. I don't think he just wrote "This Art work belongs to somebody abroad. If I die give it to anybody who comes here asking for those (two big trunk boxes". I don't think the security company will be so easily fooled. My last concern is that, although I focus my mind in this transaction for it is risk free, legal and genuie bussiness, I feel that I will be actually lying to the security company, since I never met your husband, I don't know how he looked like, which was his favourite food, what kind of music he liked, and such, so I am running the risk to be easily catched by the security company as a liar and go to jail for being a liar who wanted to claim (two big trunk boxes that weren't mine.
So I think that 10% is very little reward for the risk I will run. I am waiting for a bigger offer. Call me greedy, call me whatevr you want, but is me who will show up there and face the security company guys pretending to be somebody I am actually not. What if they have guns and shoot at me? Eh?
So, when you answer me all those questions and satisfy my concerns and request I'll send you my personal phone. Until then, I wait eagerly to be as helpful as you think I should be.
On another level, how old is your son? I'm 30 and I always had a liking for black guys.
Kisses and hughs

I AM STOPPING HERE TILL HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN
I ATTACHED MY PICTURE FOR YOU TO SEE HOW I LOOK LIKE.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR URGENT REPLY.
MADAM SIMBIAT TUREH AND SON.
N/B PLEASE MADAM,FEEL VERY FREE TO ASK ME ANY OTHER QUESTION THAT YOU MAY LIKE ASK.
Simbi attaches her photo. I don't want to run into her in a
dark alley.
[She looked perfectly respectable to us, although awfully well dressed for someone living in a UN refugee camp. Of course it could be a relic of better days. ScamOReaders are reminded that this could have fallen out of
the pocketbook of the Lad's inoffensive next-door neighbor, for all we know.]
Anyway, Natalia, brave girl, writes back, a little puzzled at first and a
little hot at last
NATALIA STURGEON
My Lady TurehOk, if you say so, I understand.
But what I don't understand is why you can't take the money by yourself if you have all the documents needed to get the money.
And that thing that you are in a concentration camp in Cote d'Ivoire, I can't understand either. Why are you there? You didn't tell me anything about it. Are you political prisoners? Are you criminals? Why are you locked there?
I don't think so, because they shouldn't let you operate a computer or have email or such, but it gives me concern, you are not just people from one african country living in another african country but people who are inside a concentration camp in africa, which sounds murky to me, I must say.
Your son is too young for me, I regret that, I was searching for somebody with more age and wisdom, a man that made me feel like a real woman, you know what I mean because I think your late husband must have made you feel the same, that animal passion that rocks your body and soul from head to toes, that muscular sweat that lingers inside you as you reach the climatic point where everywoman gets in touch with the goddess inside her.
But, well, I must stop or I'll bring you happy memories from a past long gone, cos death is final and nothing would bring your husband back from the grave his is rotting right now.
You didn't tell me the cause of death of your husband, by the way.
Cheers
NATALIA
Three days later Simbi replies. She isn't fond of Natalia's questioning, and doesn't want to do girl talk, just business.
SIMBIAT TUREH
DEAR MADAMIT SEEMS YOU ARE DOUBTING ALL I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU, HOWEVER I ATTACHED THE PICTURE OF THE TRUNK BOXES TAKEN BY MY LAT HUSBAND BEFORE HE DIED.I ALSO ATTACHED THE CERTIFICATE OF THE DEPOSITE FOR YOU TO CONTACT THE MANAGEMEN AND CONFIRM THIS DEPOSIT.
PLERASE IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN MAKING THIS TRANSACTION WITH ME KINDLY GET BACK TO ME IN A MOORE SERIOUS MANNER.BUT IF YOU ARE NOT YET CONVIENCED YOU HAVE TO FORGET IT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS.
MADA SIMBIAT TUREH AND SON EDWIN.
She attaches a photo of the trunks.
[ScamoReaders may recognize this as the famous "Two Trunk Boxes" picture.
It gets around. You might like to use it for your desktop background.]
Wow, whola lotta dough!
Now all my doubts are gone!
As if...
Simbi, lady, I have seen enough "rescue movies" to know that only the top
notes are real and the rest just plain paper.
Anyway...
NATALIA STURGEON
My Lady:I've as serious as I can and I not doubting you, you told me that I can ask you any question I felt necesary and that's what I did.
Mind you, this is a quite serious business, with a lot of risk involved, and all precautions are few.
For instance, you never told me why are you in a concentration camp. If you are imprisioned you won't be able to come out and play the part you must play in the deal, with all the papers in your son Edwin hand and such.
Anyway, to show you my goodwill, I'll give you my phone number:
5401148266917
Call me and tell me all the information you want actually to know from me, plus we get to know each other very better, maybe we became friends or even sisters, anything.
You said you attached the picture of the deposit but you didn't, I only received the photo of the two trunks. Are they full of dollars? Wow!
Yours true humble servant
NATALIA STURGEON
PS: Give regards to little Edwin from Auntie Natalia and tell him to write more often.
The phone number is from a classified add of a prostitute in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. Of course, her name is also Natalia (hey, when I do it, I do it
with all the sidedishes)
Simbi is happy. Again, she tell the money is the sweat of her late husband.
Oh, I love sweaty money...
SIMBIAT TUREH
DEAR MADAM NATALIA,HOW ARE YOU TODAT?
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOUR REPLY IN WHICH YOU SHOWED A SIGN OF SERIOUSNESS NOW MORE THAN EVER.
MADAM,TO CLEAR YOUR FEARS FIRST,THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION.THE REASON FOR THIS STATEMENT IS THAT THIS FUND IN THE SECURITY COMPANY DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY OTHER PERSON RATHER THAN MY LATE HUSBAND.HE NEVER MADE THE MONEY IN A DUBIOUS WAY NEITHER THIS WAS RAISED FROM DRUG NOR A STOLEN MONEY.IT IS THE SWEAT OF THE BLESSED MEMORY CHEIF JOHNSON TUREH.THEREFORE IF YOU ARE ENTATAINING ANY FEAR IN THIS TRANSACTION YOU ARE JUST DOING THAT FOR NOTHING SAKE.
LISTEN,THE MAJOR REASON WHY I NEEDED YOUR HELP IS (1)TO HELP ME GET THIS OUT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND MAKE ARRANGEMENT WHERE THIS FUND WILL BE WISELY INVESTED.
(2)TO PROVIDE A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE THIS FUND WILL TRANSFERED INTO.
(3)TO BE A GUIDIAN OF THIS FUND WITH THE INVESTMENT WHICH WE ARE GOING TO MAKE WITH THIS FUND.
(4)TO HELP ME BUY A HOUSE A GOOD HOUSE IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR ME AND MY SON EDWIN.
(5)TO LOOK FOR A GOOD SCHOOL WHERE EDWIN WILL FINISH HIS EDUCATION CARRIER.
FINALLY,TO BE MY PARTNER AND MORE OR LESS BE LIKE ONE FAMILY AS I AM NOT ALL THAT CIVILISED AND DON'T HAVE ANY INTERNATIONAL CONECTION AND IDEA OF THE MODERN GOINGS.
FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION MADAM,WE ARE NOT IN THE PRISON NOR CONCENTRATION CAMP.ONLY WE ARE REFUGEES HERE LIVING IN THE UNITED NATION'S REUGEE'S CAMP.THE REASON WHY WE ARE LIVING IN THE UNITED NATION'S CAMP IS THAT DURING THE POLITICAL TURMOIL IN THE COUNTRY THE REBEL FORCES KILLED MANY INOCENT SOULS,VANDALISE,BURNED AND SHUT DOWN MILLIONS OF HOUSES HERE IN ABIDJAN IN WHICH OUR APARTMENT WAS ONE OF THEM.THEREFORE THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE RATHER THAT TO CONSTRUCT AN EMERGENCY BARCHERS IN CONIVANCE WITH THE THE AUTHORITY OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND ALL THE WAR VICTIMS WHO SURVIVED THE WAR AND ARE NOT CAPABLE OF RENTING ANOTHER APARTMENT WERE GARTHERED INTO THE CAMP.THE REASON FOR ALL THIS LONG EXPLAINATION IS FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND MY RAEL SITUATION.
I AM IN RECEIPT OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER,BUT AS AT NOW I CAN NOT CALL YOU AS WE DON'T HAVE FREE MOVEMENT LIKE THAT.PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ACCESS YOU CAN CALL ME TO ENABLE US DISCUSS VERY WELL CONCERNING THIS TRANSACTION.
N/B PLEASE MADAM,WITH THE CONTACT ADDRESSES APPEARED ON THE DOCUMENT, I ADVISE YOU TO CONTACT THE SECURITY COMPANY FOR CONFIRMATION OF THIS DEPOSIT AND INQUIRE FROM THEM THE MODERLITIES OF CHANGING THE OWNERSHIP FROM THE NAME OF MY SON EDWIN AS THE BENEFICIARY TO YOUR OWN NAME AS THE SECOND BENEFICIARY.
WHILE CONTACTING THEM,PLEASE DO NOT LET THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DR.ADAMA KONAN KNOW THAT THIS CONSIGNMENT CONTAINS MONEY HENCE IT WAS REGISTERED AS ART WORK FOR SECURITY REASONS.
HAVING CONTACTED THE SECURITY COMPANY, YOU TRY TO GET BACK TO ME WITH FEED BACK FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY TO ENABLE ME KNOW THE NEXT LINE OF ACTION.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR URGENT CALL.
MADAM SIMBIAT TUREH AND SON EDWIN.
MY NUMBER IS 00225-05-68-40-78
She attaches the certificate. Huge file. (I lightened it for your pleasure
only)
[We had problems with the files. The buck stops here. It was a colorful affair, a "certificate of deposit" from "Security & Trust" of Abidjan attesting that exporter Chief Johnson Tureh had deposited "TWOTRUCK BOXES" of artwork for safe keeping. There was field called "secret code" with a long number. The Chief had paid up three months in advance - through Sept. 2002. The overdue fees must be astonishingly high.]
Funny, it is in English and not in French (as it would be logical for a
document in Cote d'Ivoire)
For some unexplained reason I let some days pass, maybe expecting some
reaction from Simbi. Maybe because this lady isn't easy to fall into my
modest antiscamming skills (she is too damn serious).
Days pass and she doesn't show any life signs.
So I write:
NATALIA STURGEON
I have been examining the certificate with my lawyer, Dr Piccafecces, and we have a question: Isn't French the official language of Cote d'Ivoire? So why the document is in English?Buy the way, I apologize of me thinking that you were in a concentration camp. But, if you consider that you are gathered and not scattered, you are in some way concentrated in that camp.
Anyway, I wish you luck.
NATALIA
No answer (yet). Dr. Piccafecces is an argentinean comic character of the
80s, a ruthless lawyer that, compared to him, all the lads are toddlers. The
name is pronouced as "Pick a Fecces" and can be translated as this also.
I think Simbi got bored of me. I got bored of her, so it is possible.
Maybe I should try to contact the security company.
Till then, goodnight.

MADAM,
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
THE REASON WHY I HAVEC NOT COMMUNICATED YOU FOR LONG IS BECAUSE OF EDWIN'S ILLNESS.MY SON EDWIN HAS CONTACTED NEMONIA IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMP AND HAS BEEN AMMITTED IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL HERE IN ABIDJAN. PLEASE MADAM I NEED IMMEDIATE YOUR LITTLE FINANCIAL HELP TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SOME MEDICINE PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTOR.
AFTER I RECEIVE YOUR MAIL YESTERDAY I RUSHED TO THE SECURITY COMPANY TO CONFIRM WHETHER THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIER E-MAIL ADDRESS,BUT I FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE NEVER A TIME TRIED THIER E MAIL.PLEASE MADAM,IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSACTION YOU BETTER COME OUT FULLY,BUT IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED,YOU BETTER INDICATE IN YOUR NEXT MAIL TO ENABLE ME FIND MY LEVELS ON TIME.
BYE FOR NOW.
MADAM SIMBIAT TUREH.
Oh! Poor Edwin is sick! Should I send him some money for his make-believe medicines? What is "nemonia", btw? Notice that Simbi gave up and accepted that they are living in a concentration camp. I won! I won! I won!

Subject: Maybe
I wish the best for Edwin, I imagine that it should be not nice to be sick in your condition. I attach a picture of myself so he can feel better looking at his auntie Natalia.
On the subject of the security company email address, of course they never received something from me since everytime I tried to contact them it came back to me, rejected. It is because it is mistyped in the document you sent, there are spaces in the username and this is what is making impossible for me to reach them.
Anyway, let me tell you that I don't trust a seccurity company with a Hotmail address. Are they so cheap they can't afford a paid account?
And, as I told you before, my lawyer (Dr. Piccafecces) and I find very strange that, being French the official language of Cote d'Ivoire, the document is written in English.
You ask me if I am interested and I answer "YES"
Of course, YES if you give me certainties of the operation. And, please, I don't want you to tell me once more that it is the sweat of your dead husband or that it was honestly earned money or any blah blah blah. I want to know that the seccurity company is honest and the document you sent makes me very very doubtful, it looks like a cheap forgery.
Are you sure your husband told you the truth?
Maybe he spent all that money and you are counting on something that doesn't exist anymore.
By the way, you never told me how your husband died.
NATALIA STURGEON
The photo I attach is Katie from Katie's World (www.katies-world.com). Maybe Edwin will want to play a little with autie Natalia after all.
[It was a picture of a girl in a bikini on a beach - we think it might be legally iffy to re-post it, since it's from a web site that might consider it intellectual property, so to speak]
Will Simbi give up? Will she discover that I am fooling with her? Will the sweaty dollars ever get dry?
Don't miss next episode!
Stay tuned.
Good afternoon Scamoramers! The soap opera continues!
The next day, I felt like it would be nice to stirs a little bit the waters and sent this to Simbi
NATALIA STURGEON
MadamePlease send me the address of the hospital where Edwin lies. My friend Igor is travelling to Abidjain and I want to send him some gifts and medecines.
Igor is a great doctor, he can really perform miracles (my uncle Theodore was declared dead by others doctors but he got the corpse and with his arts and skills brought Uncle Theo back to life), I'll ask him to cure Edwin, you'll see, your son will be shining like new, jumping and chasing all the teen girls (or boys, you never know nowadays) around the camp.
Give Edwin a huge wet kiss from Autie Natty
NATALIA
PS: Please, let's get our bsiness straight
Igor is a new character I wanted to introduce. He is what his name implies, an "Igor", a hunchbacked mad scientist assistant with a good hand with corpses and digging tombs. But don't tell Simbi! Not yet! My uncle Theodore is the famous science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon. OK, he isn't really THAT Theodore Sturgeon, but, to be honest, I don't have an uncle Theo, nor a friend Igor nor I really am Natalia Sturgeon.
But Simbi didn't get interested in being visited by a doctor. Maybe he can notice that Edwin isn't really sick and that his mother is really a guy. Yes, my friend Igor is very perceptive, even if his eyes are not aligned.
So i flogged the dead horse

Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 17:19:31 -0300Subject: The unserious is you!
Look, Lady, I have been always serious. If there is someone who haven't been serious is you.
You send me a document from a company that looks very suspicious.
I ask for the nth time: Why it is in English when Cote d'Ivoire official language is French? This is a very logical and serious question. Then, you tell me to communicate with an email account that is incorrect. "as sc 2000iv@hotmail.com" is not valid!!! Some character MUST BE between as and sc and between sc and 2000iv. If you can't tell me something that simple you deserve any fatality that happens to you.
The business we are conducting is no child's play, lady, and I won't do it with the neccessary cautions. I TRUST IN MY LAWYER and he is bond by the secrecy attorney-client not to say a word. Dr Piccafecces and me are the same person, sort to speak.
You say you explained me everything about you and your family. But you DIDNT! You never told me which was the cause of death of your husband. You never told me how old are you. You never told me your maiden name. You never told me the names of your father and mother. (Do you want me to go on?)
And you say you told me that your son is seriously ill and that I didn't not even care to show any financial help.
Did you read my yesterday mail???
DID YOU READ IT?
DID YOU?
If you did it you MUST HAVE NOTICED THAT I was asking you where is the hospital where Edwin is, so my good friend Dr Igor Ditta could go there, cure him and give him all the medecines and gifts I bought from him.
Isn't it enough help for you? Or you are sooooooooooooooooooooo greedy you want money. Yeah, sure you want money, money, money, but not to cure Edwin, no, you want the money to buy fancy dresses like the one you wear in the photo you sent me, you don't care a little about poor Edwin fate, all you want is to live la vida loca.
More. I don't even think Edwin really exists. You never sent me a picture of him nor he didn't write me a line, even when I repeatedly tried to be nice and kind with him, I always send him my regards, I sent him my photo, for God's sake, I even wanted to MARRY him!
But what I got from him? Nothing. Nothing.
So he must be an invention of your greedy mind, some conconction to suck money from me by touching my femenine fibers, my romantic heart, my desire to marry a black man.
Don't try to touch my tender side threatening me with Edwin's death, lady. You are a young woman. If Edwin dies you can have another child. Ask any of the kind guards in that concentration camp you live to do you "the favor", if you know what I mean.
You want serious business?
Be serious then. Show me the meat. Don't babble mumbojumbo about sweaty money and truck boxes.
Tell me EXACTLY WHAT TO DO!
Angry but hopeful
NATALIA STURGEON
Do you think that Simbi will ever write me back? Do you think that the lad who pretends to be SImbi will ever write me back? Will poor Edwin die? Will I ever find my true love? Stay tuned!
