Venditoris: Beware of Sellers & Scams

Here’s another or YANL scam email “Hook”. It’s from a different “person” at a different email address and with a different story. Still it promises something for nothing.

However, the pitch is one and the same. First the “Hook”.

Dearest Beloved One,

I am Mrs.Esther Wulff from Ivory Coast. I was married to Late
Rev.Thompson Wulff a Structural engineer designer who was a contractor with the
government of Cote D’Ivoire before his sudden death. He was a victim of
a sudden Cardiac Arrest and he died after few days in the hospital where
he was rushed to from his office.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.2MUS$ Seven
million two hundred thousand dollars with a Security Company in Cote D
lvoire (TAGGED AS FAMILY VALUABLES). Presently this money is still in
the custody of the Security Company here in Cote DIvoire. My Doctor told me
that it is very likely I will die within the next few months due to a
blood cancer disease {Leukamia} This is the reason that spurred me into
immediate plan to do something fast before it will be too late for me to act
since we were not blessed with any fruit of the womb during the years of my
marriage with my husband.

I have therefore decided to donate the money for charity through
you,since I do not have a child to inherit it and it is better I do not die
leaving the money here without it reaching the poor and the less priviledged
ones in the society.

As soon as I receive your response I shall inform the Security Company
to detailed you for the onward delivery of the consignment.

Mrs.Esther Wulff.
