Scam o Rama

THE ADVENTURES OF MRS. SAVIMBI IN THE EIGHTH DIMENSION

updated july14

From a Kindly Contributor in the USA:

This started with a piece of spam I got under a throwaway email address. It's the usual Savimbi spam. However, I'm having the spammer talk to "my man John Smallberries" and "Dr. Lizardo" under different addresses. I've got to the phony documents stage, and would like to share what I've got so far. I have no doubt I'll be hearing from them again.

February 4, 2004 - Dr. Savimbi And Mexico, Angola (?!)

Dear,

I am Dr.Nancy Savimbi. I am the wife to the late Jonas Savimbi, the late leader of the national Union for The Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). My husband was killed during combat action against government forces in Mexico, Angola on the 22nd of Feb. 2002. I am contacting you because of my need to deal with person whom my family had no previous relationship.

Since the death of my husband, my family has been subjected to all sorts of harassment and intimidation with lots of negative report emanating from the government of President Santos about my husband. The present government has also ensured that all our bank accounts are frozen, and all assets sized.

It is in view of this that I seek your assistance in investing and managing the sum of seventy five Million United State Dollars in your country, being the very last of my family funds in my possession and control unknown to the government.

This money now in question came as a result of Diamond Royalties that was paid to my late husband from the Diamond mining within the areas in Angola being controlled by (UNITA) for more than a decade. The money was packed in my husbands vault in our family house located out-skirt of our country home where no body will find it.

Right now, the present government has intensified their probe on my family's financial resources; frozen all our known foreign & local accounts, revoked Diamond licenses, and even detained my son (Charles) on alleged flimsy charges just because my husband before his death was the head of UNITA.

Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this money, I propose a commission of 10% (Ten Percent) of the total sum to you or your company for the expected services and assistance.

I await your prompt response.

Dr.Nancy Savimbi.

February 4, 2004 - Me:

Dear Dr. Nancy,

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. What a terrible time you must have had in Mexico, Angola. I didn't even know there was a Mexico in Angola. We have a Mexico near us as well, and I can imagine that there must have been a connection in the past.

I would like to assist you if I may. Please tell me more.

Thanks,

MY DEAR,
I am so sorry for not writing you since because of illness.This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail and your accepting to be of great assistance to me. i promise that you will never regret your association with my family and you are going to benefit immensely from this transaction. All i need from you is sincererity of purpose and dedicated honesty to enable me confide in you the required trust neccessary for the success of this transaction.i hope also that you will never dissappoint me because a lot of foreign expatriate has used this medium to defraud me due to my predicament . you have to understand that this is going to be the genesis of our business relationshp.I DON`T UNDERSTAND WHAT YO MEAN BY YOU WILL GIVE ALL THE INFORMATIONS ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT OVER THE PHONE. ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DEFRUDED ME BECAUSE OF PREDICAMENT.
in view of the above i advice you send me a copy of
your international passport by fax for my perusal and for my personal identifiction. And also your personal telephone and fax number, i will send to you also a transaction agreement if i receive your response,which you will sign and send back to me. that will guide us through out the duration of this transaction. Although we have no much time to waste, i have perfected an avenue to actualise the dream of this transaction. My idea is due to african strict banking policy, we cannot be able to use angolan bank for fund transfer. All we need to do is to move the funds in cash out of angola through a diplomatic means. By this reason you have to assume full beneficiary status of the funds by depositing it on your behalf with a courier company. Once this is done you assume full Ownership status of the funds, thereby making it impossible for seizure or confistication.
We have been using this medium to move out funds when my husband was alive. Once i receive your response, i shall feel free to give you detailed information on how we can proceed. please remember to keep this transaction highly secret and confidential. Note that my tel/fax number is as above you can always reach me there at any time,it is a satilite number.
PLEASE TRY AND SEND ME YOUR SECURITY AND FAX NUMBER FOR THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE TRANSACTION.
Thank you and God almight will bless you my brother I await your urgent response.
Best regards,
mrs savimbi

February 27, 2004 - Me:

Dear Dr. Nancy,

First, let me say how sorry I am that you have had to go through such illness in Mexico. Why, I myself have heard horrible, horrible stories about what visitors to Mexico sometimes suffer when they partake of the local fare. I only hope you've been spared such agonies and that your malady will soon offer you true and final surcease.

I don't understand some of your letter, though, and I'm not sure how I can help you. You say a medium has defrauded you? Perhaps your country has laws against fortune tellers and such, as is true in England. No doubt such mediums are mere con artists and fraudsters, people of low repute and even lower personal hygiene. My advice to you is to stay as clear of them as you can.

Also, you mentioned something about giving an account over the phone. I didn't see anything like that in your other email. Perhaps you mixed me up with someone else to whom you are writing?

Finally, if you need some medicine there in Angola I can send you some directly that will help with the "trots," as we call them here. Just send me your address and I'll get it right out to you.

Cheers,

March 2, 2004 - Dr. Savimbi Is Clueless

MY DEAR,

I DON`T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WROTE.

PLEASE SEND ME YOUR PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION AND YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBERS TO ENABLE US START THE TRANSACTION.

I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE

March 7, 2004 - Me:

Dear Dr. Savimbi,

I'm not sure why you don't understand what I wrote. You said you were having trouble with a medium in Mexico, and I sympathized with you. I will send you something to help with your terrible illness if you'll only send me your mailing address. The Angola trots must be even more terrifying than the Tijuana trots, or so I speculate.

As for my number, why do you need that? Please explain.

Hesitantly,

Sir

March 8, 2004- Dr. Savimbi Is Still Clueless

March 8. 2004 - Me:

Dear Dr. Savimbi,

Please go ahead and send me whatever details you need to send me, but I am very worried about this supernatural quack who is assailing you. The least you can do is let me send you a gift of medicine, something to help your poor distressed duodenum and sphincter after the Angolan trots have violated the integrity of your GI tract. I have some Imodium that has always done the trick for
me, dear, and I would like you to know the fullness of relief.

I have a man that handles financial things for me if you would like to talk to him. His email address is "[deleted] " and his name is John Smallberries. I don't know beans about money and I'm always spending it on impulse, so he helps me keep my spending under $10,000 a month. That way my income and my outflow
are the same. Aren't men wonderful?

Sincerly,
