I had telephone conversation with a scamster

The first e-mail from the scamster


From Mrs Aisha Yacuba Ali.
Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire

As_salamn Alaikum,
Dearest One.
In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Most Merciful, His Holy Prophets and the most respected of His Prophet-Prophet Mohammed (the Peace of Allah be with him) I say As salam Alaikum.
I do recognised the surprise this letter will bring to you, most especially as it comes from a stranger. I am Mrs. Aisha Yacuba Ali. 

We are from Sao Tome. I am married to Dr. Yacuba Ali who was a a good operator of Cocoa Business for many years before he died in Ivory Coast Crisis of Presidential Election 2010 where many peoples lost their lifes and properties. 

We were married for eleven years without a child. He died in gun shooting with his 3 blood brothers by pro- Laurent Gbagbo supporters just because my husband he's one of Alassan Dramma Ouatarra supporters. Before  before he was killed by pro- Laurent Gbagbo supporters.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the holy Quran is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited one truck box with a security company here in Abidjan which is valued of $2.5 Million USD.
Though my late husband did not tell the security company what is inside the truck box,the box was decleared as family valuable treasure,but due to the  instruction which my husband  has already given to the Security Company that ( PURPOSE OF DEPOSITED THE TRUCK BOX IS TO TRANSFER IT TO THE FOREIGN COUNTRY )  this instruction was already stated on the  deposit receipt  and it cannot be change, which i'm going to send you in my next mail for your confirmation, also my condition in cancer problem recently   which my Doctor told me that they will need to do the operation again which they said it's 50-50  under risk because they have already do the operation twice before,so they let me understand the third one is very risk but nothing they can do eccept they do the operation.
Having known what's going to happen, I decided to donate this fund to a anybody or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. 

I want a someone that will use this fund for orphanages home, hospital, mosque, school and propagating the word of mighty Allah and to endeavour that the house of mighty Allah is maintained. The Holy Quran made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that gives.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child and noy haveing any family here that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not here we both are stranger here in this country and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be loose and  I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. 

This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the mighty Allah.
As stated in the Holy Quran (Surah xxxvi Yasin) Thou wariest only him who followeth the reminder and fearieth the beneficent in secret to him bear tiding of forgives and a rich reward. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health.
With almighty Allah all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company here in Cote D'Ivoire -Abidjan, I want you  to always pray for me because the mighty Allah is my shepherd.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Muslim. Whoever that wants to serve the mighty Allah must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on the above e_mail address for more information, any delay in your reply will give me room in contacting someone else or individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.Thanks.
Yours Sister in Islam,
Mrs Aisha Yacuba Ali.

Salam Alaikum,,,
My brother, i read your mail and it's well understood.
But to be frankly, i cannot hide anything for you because we have became  brother and sister, as i'm sending you this mail, i have only $220 with me which i reserved for my treatment and my feeding as you know that i have no husband, but if you want me to submit the $200 from the money i will call the security company to come to my house tomorrow to collect  $200 from then i can reserve $20 only.
Please, i want you to try all your possible best to make sure that the box is arrive to you and use the money in nomal way, my brother i gave you authorization to use the half of the money for your own goodself and use the remain to help poors and others.
My brother, i assured you that even if you borrow money from anywhere, you will surelu become a rich man upon receive the truck box, but only you must be very careful in using the money and you must have secret hope you understand my point??
So i will call Mr BALLO AHMED to come and collect $200 from me, you just send $250 to them and tell them to proceed for delivery immediately the money is submit to them ok.
Have a very pleasant day and always remember me in your prayers.
Yours,

Alert: Spoof & Phishing Emails

There are two types of email scams – known as 'phishing' and 'spoofing' - that can be difficult to identify. Both practices concern fraudulent emails where the 'from address' has been forged to make it appear as if it came from somewhere, or someone, other than the actual source.



What is 'phishing' all about - and how do I spot it?

Phishing emails are used to fraudulently obtain personal identification and account information. They can also be used to lure the recipient into downloading malicious software. The message will often suggest there are issues with the recipient's account that requires immediate attention. A link will also be provided to a spoof website where the recipient will be asked to provide personal/account information or download malicious software.



How is it different than 'spoofing'?


Spoof emails often include a fraudulent offer of employment and/or the invitation to serve as a go-between for payment processing or money transfers.



Consumer Advice: How to Avoid Phishing Scams


The number and sophistication of phishing scams sent out to consumers is continuing to increase dramatically. While online banking and e-commerce is very safe, as a general rule you should be careful about giving out your personal financial information over the Internet. The Anti-Phishing Working Group has compiled a list of recommendations that you can use to avoid becoming a victim of these scams.
  • Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information
  • Phishers typically include upsetting or exciting (but false) statements in their emails to get people to react immediately
  • They typically ask for information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, passport number, photograph, date of birth, etc.
  • Don't use the links in an email, instant message, or chat to get to any web page if you suspect the message might not be authentic.
  • Instead, call the company on the telephone, or log onto the website directly by typing in the Web address in your browser.
  • You should only communicate information such as credit card numbers or account information via a secure website or the telephone.
  • Always ensure that you're using a secure website when submitting credit card or other sensitive information via your Web browser.
