Well, since james also published one of the spam/scam e-mails sent to him (by the way, he is a Senserely site’s webmaster), particularly in the “blog-entry” titled “STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL (but still a scam)”: http://www.senserely.com/james-strictly_confidential_but_sti…, I will do something similar in my own today’s “blog-entry”. Unfortunately I forgot to save the first/original e-mail message to me, but I hope that my reply and his response are quite entertaining too. Anyway, I simply don’t understand: does he really think that I am so stupid to give him the details of my bank account so easily ??!

1. So here below is my first and only reply to him titled “To the president/director of Bank of Anthens, Johannesburg, South Africa” (btw., his e-mail address is “jobulile_001@yahoo.com”)

The e-mail message from me:

Hello Mr. Jabulile Nkosi, the manager of Bank of Anthens in Johannesburg, South Africa …

I am very interested in helping you to make a transfer of the late Mr. Joseph Malheira Savimbi’s fixed deposit. Could you please tell me a bit more about the offer of 20% of the total funds ?? Also, I am curious: what are the expenses (for which to “set aside 10%”) that you’ve mentioned ??

Best regards, David, Croatia, Europe

2. And here is his first response to me titled “Reply Me Soonest ( J.Nkosi)” and which was delivered to me one day after my one and only reply; but note that I got many many others too lately (after I didn’t reply anymore on his continuous e-mailing of my Inbox), in which he continue to remind me to “break the silence” and reply to him with my banking details and such.

His response goes like this:

Dear David,

Thanks for your response to my request and your willingness to assist me in actualizing this project successfully.

Actually for this transaction to be successfully there must be mutual understanding between both parties involved in this transaction which I am very much aware that we will achieve.

Your willingness to assist me in concluding this will be of huge benefit to both of us provided we can keep this transaction strictly confidential till the conclusion of the transaction.

If you study my first proposal to you, you will understand that late Mr. Joseph Malheira Savimbi’s is a foreigner hence you will be a perfect person to be presented and there will be no question asked as the original owner is also foreigner.

The offer of 20% of the total funds will be given to you on the conclusion of the transaction (i.e. when the entire money have arrive in your designated account) for been part of this transaction and again we will use your personal details to file in for claim.

The set aside 10% will be use to cover expense that both parties incurred during the process of this transaction, (i.e. phone calls, your taxes and all miscellaneous) and again I will advice you to write down any expenses incurred, because we must return all expenses before the actual sharing from the already mapped out 10% from the total fund, but it is not necessarily mean that the total will be up to the set aside 10%.

The most important aspect of transaction is for you to assure me that my agreed percentage will reach me as soon as the entire money is transferred into your account.

If we have agreed on the above, you should forward the following information below to enable us commence action on this transaction.

1. YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS ( YOUR FULL NAME, ADDRESS, IF POSSIBLE YOUR COMPANY NAME, PHONE & FAX NUMBERS)
2. YOUR BANK DETAILS ( WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFER INTO AND MUST BE SAFE & SECURED)

As soon as I receive the requested info, I will commence action and on receipt of your reply mail, more communicate will be send to you.

Looking forward in hearing from you soonest.

Best regards,

Mr. J. Nkosi

P.S. - Ahhh, you are probably asking yourself why I replied to the scam so obvious as this one in the first place. You see, it’s just that I am in fact rarely getting such e-mail (though that is true only for the past two years) and that I simply couldn’t resist to not to try to see what actually happens in such cases when the “victim” actually “bites” the bait and replies with questions about it all, i.e. about the transaction in this particular case. And also, I don’t use this “tayi137@yahoo.com” e-mail account anymore (from which I replied and to which he send the original e-mail); it was my first or second one (beside the “…@hotmail.com” one) and when it started to receive tons of spam, I’ve rather decided to create another e-mail account at some other provider.

/UPDATE: Oh you know that I’ve later noticed that the one scam e-mail message that James was writing about (or rather he just posted it and comment on it) is in fact the very same e-mail message from the same “Mr. Jabulile Nkosi” guy. You know, I actually read that entry few days back, but I’ve totally forgot to details (i.e. the name of that guy etc.), and so I found out that it’s the same e-mail a minute ago or so, when I checked his entry for the type of formatting he applied and “categories” he used to tag it.
