A hearty scam-o-welcome to Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking in love with Gadaffi's daughter. A pork processor in Sweden, he wants to give her things she is needin'.
This debut scambait opens with the classic 'help a dictator's daughter claim her funds' format. Ragnar counters with a marriage proposal. Hilarity ensues.
The cast:
Aisha Gadaffi, daughter of the late dictator
(Muammar Gaddafi did have a daughter named Aisha. This is not her. But you knew that. Right?)
Ragnar Lothbrok, owner of a pork product factory in Sweden - our hero

Good Day,
Am Aisha Gaddafi daughter of late Colonel Gaddafi the Libyan leader.I am contacting you to assist me in removing the sum of sixty five million USA dollars being deposited with a security company in UAE Dubai.
The funds was deposited with a security company in my name and as a matter of fact, me my only surviving son manage to escape with the help of a security guard on duty that fateful day, I am presently into hiding in a refugee camp between the border of Chad and Nigria because I know that the regime of my father has collapse after his death.
Actually the Omani government is hosting her, all expenses paid, so don't bring out the violins just yet.
Please for your kind assistance I will offer you 30% of the total sum, all the legal documentation concerning the deposit are with me, I will issue power of attorney making you the new beneficiary of the deposit so that the security company can release the consignment to you.
Once you successfully secure the consignment from the security company an arrangement would be made for disbursement.
May Allah grant you the heart to assist me and my only son in this our trial period, please never you abandon me with my son just because we are Arabs, but I want to assure you that honesty and trust must remain our bond.
Get back with your details so that we can proceed without delay because l am here without help from no one.
Aisha Gaddafi
The old Dictator's Widow format! basically the Dead Bank Customer with political window-dressing. For the new reader, here's the M.O. (key phrases highlighted above):
- my late husband (father, boss...) left some money ( hidden, deposited, stored ) somewhere
- please collect it for me (for some reason I can't collect it myself)
- you must pay some fees to collect the (imaginary) money, a money order will do nicely

Hello Aisha,
Where is Nigria?
Your proposal seems interesting at first view.
As a matter of fact, I travel to Dubai on Business every once in a while.
Is there anything I can do in person when I am there?
Sincerely,
Ragnar Lothbrok

Dear Aisha,
I took the liberty of looking you up on the internet, and I see that you are a widow since 2011.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself: my name is Ragnar, I own a small factory in Sweden, and I am 43, so only 5 years older than you, and divorced.
I thought about your proposal, and I think I may have something even better to offer you.
I know you will have to think about this for a while, so take your time in answering me.
I saw on Wikipedia that you are an educated, intelligent, and may I say quite beautiful woman.
Therefore, I am proposing to you a marriage of convenience.
I could get you a fiancee visa, to bring you and your son to Sweden. We could then get married, I would adopt your son, and we could either live in my nice house, or we could use some of your money to buy a bigger mansion. You would have peace and security in beautiful Sweden. More importantly for you: your son would have a good education and a real future here in Sweden.
As for the money, we could either manage it jointly, or split it 50/50 into separate bank accounts.
What do you think, lovely Aisha?
Ragnar
P.S.: you do have beautiful eyes

Dear reader: a compliant victim will dutifully contact the 'security company' Lad, who will try to close the deal by charging 'fees' for the various 'legal' documents and services. The first scammer - aka the 'guyman' or 'catcher' - and the second Lad will work on the victim to extract a money order.
But this is Ragnar they're dealing with...

Dear Ragnar,
I was very glad to receive your email . I was Born Aug. 10th 1976

I am a writer, I write books on law. I like swimming too.
I am a honest person, I believe in the truth and honesty, and love.
Please make sure you contact union security vault Dubai to enable us get started.
Love you always Aisha

Aisha baby,
I dreamt about you last night. You said you like swimming; do you have any sexy pictures of you in bikini that you could send me?
So you are a baby-making machine. Unfortunately, my last wife was barren. Can we have many children together?
I erased the last e-mails by mistake, including the one with the people I am supposed to contact. Can you send that to me again?
Actually, if you want to save some time, maybe you could just forward them all my information which you already have.
The reason for this is that I am leaving now to go spend a few days with my parents to spend Christmas and the feast of Saint Loki with them. They are very old, they do not have internet, and live far from the city.
So, I will not be able to check my e-mail for a few days.
Enjoy your Christmas!
Love,
Ragnar

Yo babe,
Here's my driver's license.
Actually, I'm kind of hoping the kid dies.
This way, we'll have more time to ourselves, and can have hot steamy sex
every day. You look delicious!
