It is rip apart that scam e-mail game

[rklenseth]

Now for our first one;

Dear Friend.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.

My name is Ibrahim Gawish, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty seven million dollars $27,000,000,that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.please send a reply through this email address (ibragawish1@netscape.net) with your full contact information for more private and confidential communication.

God be with you.

Ibrahim Gawish

Now have at it, my friends. No holds barred.

*takes a deep breath*
i hate those stupid emails, everyone i know falls for them, theyre all the same damn thing...too good to be true...cause its NOT TRUE... like those things that say forwarding this automatically adds 10000 to your account, or, if you dont send this message on, your email account will be deactivated....its all the same......
it wouldnt bug me so if so many people didnt fall for it

[jeslange]

I've gotten about 6 different one like that

[Lone Wolf]

I have a real problem with this one....other than the fact that I hate these stupid things. But here is the problem:

never really cared for anyone(not even myself)

Okay you got that part?

I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.

Does that make sence? I never could understand how people could fall for these things. I think it's just pure greed.

I got one once about a rich distant uncle that I had and how I have been left his estate, but all the money was locked up in an account overseas. Supposedly he found me through a family history search.
One problem with this, I'm adopted. Thus, the family history search wouldn't show me as my adoption file is still sealed, and I have never had a family tree filed with my name in it

I knew right away it was a fraud.

[Tolomus]

OK, I never get emails like that...

[thingnumber2]

I'm gonna die if I don't forward this to my whole address book? BALEETED!

1,000 dollars for everyone I send this to? BALEETED!

I love those ones...so fun to delete...

[Lone Wolf]

Dude! you have the same uncle as me!!!

This is not a joke someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. so dont break this or else.no send back

[Lone Wolf]

Okay here is one that I just got. I'll post it, and then I'll have a few things to point out and you tell me if it makes sence.

Dear Roger McIntosh,

My records indicate a while ago you were interested in a 2003 Ford ZX2 you found on the Internet. Well, our entire database of customers that placed an Internet request between 05/17/2004 and 06/04/2004 was deleted by clerical error (WHOOPS !!!). We are very sorry for the inconvenience and apologize that we do not have the records any more that indicated what you needed from us to assist with you car buying experience.

Okay point number one. If all thier internet records were deleted, then how can his records show anything?

Point number 2. I bought a Chevy Blazer 4X4 in Late January-early Febuary of 2004. Now why would I be looking to buy another vehicle?

Point Number 3. This is possilby the biggest point of all. I HATE FORDS.
So why would I be looking at a 2003 Ford ZX2?

You would think that they could do better than this

[Mavsfan911]

if they said you were looking at a vehicle then their records got deleted, how would they know?
i think you said that, though

I am so sick of those emails. AAAAGGHHH I had to let that out.

I have more than one email account with different last names and they still manage to mail a letter to each of them. Claiming if I help them get my ancestors money I will get 40% and they will get 60%. Get real.

I wrote some of them back saying I had given there letter to a lawyer who will be contacting them soon to discuss how this was illegal. That really scared them and I never got anymore letters.

All I want to know is, what are the benefiting out of this. Do they use people's information to make a mailing list or what. I just don't see what the point of these letters are and what they do. It must make them reach counting all the people who have mailed me one.

And its only from people in different countries. I never get one from the United States. Maybe somethings going on over there that I don't know about.
