Another offer I am not able to refuse (wanna bet)

@Topper

"Good" (well, actually far from it!) to hear that I am not the only one who gets quite a lot of spams (but not nearly as much as you appeared to have had)
VM used to be good in that respect, but a lot more has been getting through over the last few months.

Hmmm the Nigerian Scam got a Syrian twist now... name dropping Israel, CNN, BBC - it must be true. I have to say, the English and Grammar have improved considerably sin



Miss. Marriam Husameddine
Dearest One,

I know that this proposal will come to you as a big surprise considering the fact that we have not had any formal acquaintance before or met in person but all the same I want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in view of the fact that the security of life and possession is at stake.
I am Miss. Marriam Husameddine a 20 years old girl from war ravaged Syria but presently leaving in Israel border Refugee camp with my brother Ali who is 16 years old. My father Abdo Husameddine who before his untimely assassination by the government troop was the highest ranking official in Syrian government .He was killed in our government residential house alongside two of my other brothers, two house maids and security aid, fortunately for me and my younger brother including our mother we were on a weekend visit to our home town. A as we got the news of the tragedy, we immediately managed to ran into neighbouring Israel border for refuge.

In the same vein, as Faith would have it we lost our dear mother after a month we lost our father (May soul rest in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.
As we were coming into this country, we had some documents of a deposit of $ 48,500.000.00 USD (Forty eight million Five hundred thousand USD) made by my late father in a security and trust company, according to the note we found in our fathers brief case, he intended to use this fund for his international business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately murdered.

We have located the security company where the money is deposited with the help of an attorney and established ownership having been told that the consignment is been held at their head in Europe for security reasons. Though, our father did not declare the deposit as real cash rather as family treasures/valuables worth US$48.5M. Please considering the bitter experiences we had in our country and the war still going on especially in Damascus area which incidentally is where we came from plus the incessant political upheavals and hostilities in this Israel border Refugee camp, we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours hence this proposal and request is made to you.

I therefore on behalf on my only brother seek your kind assistance towards helping us to claim the money from where is deposited. My attorney will work out a change of ownership to your name so that you will be legally empowered to represent me claim the money from the company. After the conclusion of the transaction, you will help us to invest the money into a lucrative business and also assist my brother get a college admission to further his education.

Please I know that this letter may sound strange and incredible to you but the CNN and the BBC have it as their major news features .Therefore for the sake of God and humanity kindly give an immediate and positive consideration.
I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of the money you will propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above .please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still conscious of our father's enemies, I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach. I await your response.
Thank Regard.

Just maybe found out why I get so many spam/phishing emails because I have just received a letter from the EQUIFAX credit checking ("geddit"!?) company to tell me that my personal data had been accessed following that recently widely publicised cyber attack!

Luckily, no real damage does seem to have been done over the years and my credit score is still Excellent!

OTOH, they offered me an apparently non-time limited free use of their Equifax Protect and Webdefend monitoring services - so I've just signed up for "the lot" covering potential misuse of my email addresses, bank accounts and plastic cards, phone numbers, NI number and so on!

All that takes quite time but it should give a little more protection - won't stop anything that is already "out there" but might help in the future.

If anyone else gets a similar letter I think I recommend that you take up the offers

Update: Seems to be working so far - I've now had 2 monthly updates from EQUIFAX confirming that there appear to have been no further identity fraud alerts detected, and that's covering my main email addresses and the main sites where I've been using them.

Heads Up!

A bit of a "new one" in terms of how it shows up - "looks" a little like an Amazon delivery alert and that's what I thought it was until I looked at my outstanding orders with them, and there aren't any, and then I looked closer!

 

[sonnetpete]

This just turned up in my Spam mails (with a live link of course)

"Kind acquirer! We are preferably watch your cruching in a bedroom with the helpmate."

Damn, it seems they've hacked into my security cameras....

You must be a bit like someone I knew many years ago if you really have a security cam in the bedroom (before they were "everywhere") - he had mirrors on the ceiling over the bed in his bedroom (Seriously! ).
