[AR]

I just received this e-mail - I think we need to help out this young lady immediately:

MY NAME IS AHYLA KUASSI, I AM FROM ABIDJAN, COTE D IVORIE. WEST AFRICA.

I AM IN NEED OF A PERSON OR COUPLE WHO WILL ACCOMMODATE OR ADOPT ME AS
PART OF HIS OR HER FAMILY. I AM THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF MY LATE PARENTS
CHIEF AND MRS WILLIAM KUASSI. I AM 17 YEARS OLD. MY FATHER WAS A
POTENTIAL GOLD DEALER DURING HIS LIFE TIME BEFORE HE MET HIS SUDDEN DEATH. HE
WAS POISONED TO DEATH BY HIERED KILLERS ON 29TH NOVEMBER, 2003. MY
MOTHER DIED OF BREAST CANCER IN 1992 WHEN I WAS STILL AT A TENDER AGE.

BUT BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY LATE FATHER IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL HERE HE
TOLD ME HE DEPOSITED WITH THE RUSSIAN SECURITY COMPANY A CONSIGNMENT BOX
WORTH OF $8,000 000 ( EIGHT MILLION USD ) AND THAT HE USED MY NAME AS
HIS NEXT OF KIN. THAT HE IS DYING BECAUSE OF HIS WEALTH AS HIS ENEMIES
DON'T WANT HIM TO LIVE SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE FREE BUSINESS MONOPOLY.

AFTER THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, I WAS CONSULTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL
RUSSIAN SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN COTE D'IVOIRE TELLING ME THAT MY FATHER
HAD A CONSIGNMENT BOX OF FAMILY TREASURE DEPOSITED WITH THEM WITH MY NAME
AS HIS NEXT OF KIN.

PERSON OR COUPLE WHO WILL ADOPT ME AS PART OF HIS OR HER FAMILY AND HELP ME

SINCE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER I HAD BEEN TAKING REFUGE UNDER A PASTOR
AND HIS WIFE. ( PASTOR SILAS MOKOLO AND HIS WIFE ) I WANT SOMEONE THAT
WILL ACCOMMODATE OR ADOPT ME TO HELP ME LEAVE THIS PLACE.

I WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE BECAUSE OF THE CIVIL WAR GOING ON HERE. I
DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE OR MY INHERITANCE EITHER TO THE REBELS OR MY
LATE FATHER'S ENEMIES. AGAIN THE PASTOR THAT HAS BEEN HARBOURING ME IN
HIS FAMILY IS DUE TO BE TRANSFERED TO DARFUR IN SUDAN FOR HIS MISSIONARY
ASSIGNMENT. HOW UNFORTUNATE IT IS FOR ME NOT TO GO WITH HIM AS THE
SITUATION IN DARFUR IS VERY DEADLY BECAUSE OF HEAVY WAR THERE.

THESE ARE THE AREAS I NEED YOUR HELP;

1) AFTER GETTING THE CONSIGNMENT BOX RETRIEVED FROM THE RUSSIAN COMPANY

FROM THE BOX AND THEN SEND ME TO COME OVER.

EDUCATION OVER THERE.

3) WHEN I COME OVER WE ARE TO MAKE PROPER INVESTMENT WITH THE MONEY .
AND FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND IMPUTS YOU ARE TO INDICATE THE PERCENTAGE OF
THE TOTAL MONEY THAT WILL BE OKEY FOR YOU.

NOTE THAT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME IS NOT ACTUALLY THE MONEY AFTER
ALL, I AM ONLY A GIRL OF 17YEARS. BUT I WANT MY LIFE AND MY
INHERITANCE SAFE AND USEFUL. I WANT TO FEEL AT HOME SOMEWHER, FEEL BELONGED TO A
FAMILY AND BEEING CARED FOR. I NEED A KIND OF REPLACEMENT FOR MY LOST
PARENTS. LET ME TASTE THE JOY OF A FAMILY FOR ONCE. I REALLY NEED TO BE

I think anytime someone sends you something refering to the "International Russian Security Company", you know it has to be legit. As we all know, the Russians are pretty internationally secure company to keep.

[Clasicrockldy]

What a crock of shit that e-mail is. Another one of those African scams to get you to part with your hard earned money. And there are stupid people out there who will be taken in by this.

[Moon Beam]

I post like dust in the wind lately and my last one here has a spelling error.
Hate when that shit happens.

[nikki]

Sounds like a Nigerian scam to me.

[squirt1]

Nikkib- I get these daily and most are from Nigeria. They could be from anywhere. They haven't quit for a few yrs , so their must be some Americans that are not too bright.

Apparently not. I remember watching an investigative report on these a few months ago and you would be suprised at the seemingly intelligent people who fall for this crap.

[Crazie Scarab]

Ed.. there is a key on your keyboard with the word DELETE on it. Perhaps you should find it and use it when going through your emails.. Just trying to be helpful here..

[Ms_M]

What a crock of shit that e-mail is. Another one of those African scams to get you to part with your hard earned money. And there are stupid people out there who will be taken in by this.

That is just sad that there are people who still fall for this. The "Nigerian" scam has been talked about on just about every news program - how do you miss it??

This is how they miss it, M........... They are either on the net yakking to them via messenger, or on the phone........ They don't have time for tv.......... or they just don't think it could happen to them......... really sad.......

These people are really good at the scam. They tell their victim exactly what they want to hear....... reel them in....... get money from time to time, give excuses why they didn't make it somewhere......... it is sick........ Dr. Phil did a program on it....... And all of the victims were women.....

[silby1867]

I've just received a similar email but the name is different. This person starts their email: MY NAME IS ANNA OGBA, I AM FROM ABIDJAN, COTE D IVORIE. WEST AFRICA.
Like the rest of you I have no idea how people get sucked in. There's an old adage that says if something sounds too good to be true then it usually is. Even if these people were on the level then what they are proposing is fraudulent. However they are not. Far from some svelte, nubile 19 year old African girl you are probably replying to some slease ball with hair loss and bad breath.
When will people learn?

Why is this old ass thread resurrected?

I didn't noticed that it was old, but it looks like someone else got one of those emails recently.
