Janet the scammer

One day I was sent an urgent message from someone who needed to move millions of dollars of oil money out of their country before their government appropriated it for their own needs.

This is a typical story that is concocted by scammers who promise you a generous percentage of the vast fortune they will send you for teporary safekeeping.

The only trick is, you need to keep sending them money as personal donations to clear that last 'legal hurdle'. They get lots of your money and you never hear from them again.

Janet didn't get any money from me, but she left me with a broken heart.

Dear Sir,

I come to you with blessings upon you from the great Lord our God and a business proposal which could make you very rich.

Please keep this said proposal in confidence and please come back to me, for this matter is of upmost importance and urgency.

It is with sadness that I must report that my husband, a one Robert Mpoyo has passed away.

His plane was downed by rebels as it was flying close to the border with Chad.

My husband was a highly influential man who had several business all over Africa, including several oil fields producing a high quality yield.

We must act urgently! The money he has left me will be consumed by the government in a matter of days unless I can transfer it out of the country.

I propose to you to accept this money and hold on to it for a short time. A banker in Switzerland will then receive it, and we are prepared to offer you ten percent.

Please be speedy in your responses and come back to me soon, for time is of the essence.

May the mighty Lord God bless you,

Janet Mpoyo

Hello Janet,

My heart went out to you when you wrote me this letter. I have also fallen victim to grief in recent days.

My beloved wife, Julia, fell victim to tractor bite and succumbed to her injuries only a few weeks ago. I am bearing up well but my pet tortoise, Terence, who was dearly fond of her, is uncontrollable.

He is vomiting constantly a sickly pink-green bile mix and he is not eating his food. I fear he may soon succumb to the same fate as my dear wife.

Dissalow me to prattle on, I will get straight down to business. Please do be aware that this information must be kept in the strictest confidence, and should anyone else find out about this other than those who need to know, our dealings may come to an abrupt end.

I am a very highly, highly, respected pillar of my community. I am a god loving and god fearing Christian with a beautiful family.

I will do everything I can to make sure that they get all the opportunities presented to them. I assume that since you have carried out research on me, you know alot of this information already.

We have hit a rough patch ever since the mink trade hit rock bottom after the grand cull of '05. Every day I would pray to the Lord in the hope that a breakthrough opportunity would answer my prayers.

Now I feel that my prayers, and indeed your prayers, have been answered.

I beseech you to contact me as soon as you get this email I pray to you a happy and prosperous new year will come forward and embrace you and that we all look forward to new and exciting beginnings.

Please tell me more about yourself and where we should take things now.

May God hold and bless, keep and smother you in love,

Your Friend,

The Rotten Angel

Dear Janet

My deepest love and wishes extend to you on this pious new years. Call me a fool, too quick to think, but I can see we have a connection.

As you know, I am not as young as I used to be, but I still do have some spring in my step. I am a very caring man with an undying love for my children.

I care for them morning, noon, and night, and I give them everything they need, but they are missing one thing.

The thing is, Janet, that they need a mother. Come over to Ireland and live with me and my children. They are adorable little souls.

There is Edward, who is eleven years old. He has fine flowing blonde hair and freckles you could just eat off a dinnerplate.

Lakia is a lovely little girl of nine years. She was born on the day of my birthday. I remember when she was born she was the most adorable thing we had ever seen.

You would absolutely love these kids. I would treat you well. You would be cared for.

I could promise you a television with colour picture, a radio, a car, and maybe a laptop with internet access when we get it installed.

I know you are lonely. I am lonely too and in need of some company. What do you say?? I promise you that there would be minimal manual labour for you to carry out everyday.

We have machines now to remove dust from the carpets and clean windows at the same time. They are highly efficient.

We could share the money together and help others. We could be very happy.

Please let me know. I picture you as a strong, vivacious woman with a heart of gold and an unshaken stability.

I feel a strong connection that grows by the day.

Love,

The Rotten Angel

Dearest Janet

I am overwhelmed that you have decided to come and join me in my abode. I promise you that you will be the happiest happiest human alive.

Our connection is growing, don't you feel it? I would ask of you one thing, however to ensure that I can trust you completely.

I would like you do do one thing. I can then send my full details onto you. Complete any one of these three tasks to prove to me that you are as capable as I hope you are.

1: Find me a picture of a cat sitting on a black camel. The camel must be facing left. The cat must be white and lying on top of it. There must be sun. No black and white photos will be accepted.

2: Send me a picture of yourself holding up a copy of time magazine from November 1979. I'm sure you can find one somewhere - they're not too hard to come across.

3: Send me a picture of yourself hiding in a bathroom with an Alsation dog and four frogs. You must be sitting in a bathtub preferably and fully clothed.

I will send you half my details now, and the other half later on once you have completed these tasks.

I love you and I hope that you love me too. Put your trust in me, as I have put my trust in the Lord.

Dearest Janet,

I assure you I am no joker! I am very serious about this transaction and I need you to take it seriously. You must understand that.

Please my love. I need to know that I can trust you and that you love me too.

I am lonely. Please tell me that you love me. Don't worry about these outlandish tasks. Come to Ireland. I can forward you the airfare if you want.

I want you by my side immediately. You must come soon my heart aches until we finally meet.

I can send the airfare today. I will have a car collect you from the airport when you arrive. My trusted associate and personal attourney Jesep Trezuget will take care of the money for us.

Don't be alarmed. He has no knowlege of what is going on. I have kept this our little secret. I will not inform him of the transaction until you feel comfortable about this.

Oh I'm very excited and looking forward to having you live with us. I have prepared your room in the cellar already!
