The Email Scam Has Gone Global

At least the Taiwanese know how to use sentence case.


Found this in my mailbox today. I'm sure this one has been around the block too, but did they seriously think that by changing the country from Nigeria to Taiwan, they'd have a better chance?

2. A really good piece by silicon.com on everything 419, including an investigative piece on what comes after the introductory email...
3. The "Nigerian Email Conference" - (Ed. - Hilarious!)

Dear Sir,
Assalaam Alaikum.
Greetings in the name of almighty Allah.
Iam Mrs Aishat Suleiman,the wife Capt Suleman Musa an ex Nigerian soldier currently on exile in Cote d Ivoire.He worked with the late Nigerian head of state Gen. Sani Abachaas a member of his special strike force,Infact, reported directly to the then chief security officer, Maj.Hamza Al Mustapha. After the death of the head of state and the ushering in of the civilian government,they started arresting those who were close to the late head of state,Gen Abacha.When the new government arrested the former CSO, we knew we will be the next target,so my husband my children and myself ran to Cote d Ivoire where we are now on exile
Unfortunately my husband died of cadiac arrest leaving me with the two children.
My husband has the sum of $22 million U.S dollar he saved with a bank here and used my son!S name as the next of kin to the fund.presently the country is politiocally un sutable for us to continue to stay.Based on these,i will want you in the name of Allah help me receive these money into your account.
You will also get a visa for myself and children to enable us come over to your country after the transfer of the fund.
I want you to know that i am entrusting you with these hoping that you will not disappoint me.
please get back to me so that i will tell you what we have to do.
Wassalam.
AISHAT.

That's the e-mail that I got last week. Can't believe they would use Allah's name. Anyway, if you find this post is to long because of the e-mail, just delete it. Sorry for taking too much space.
