My husband and I have our house up for sale. It is listed in several sites at no cost to us but especially at the site For Sale by Owner. I received an email accepting the price of the house with $1,000 non-refundable holding fee. Today I received via UPS 3 moneygrams totaling $2,625. I am supposed to keep $1000 and western Union the balance to her agent in Ghana. This is just another scam with different players. Beware homeowners!!

(Service to Allah, God, the Creator)

I am Mrs. Shimshai Mohammed a citizen of Kuwait but currently residing in the United Kingdom. I was married to Late Isa Mohammed of blessed memory who was an oil explorer in Kuwait and Angola for twelve years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve years without a child; he died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he deposited a substantial amount of money worth US$8.5Million with a bank in the United Kingdom which I inherited after his death.

Recently, my doctor told me that I have only 1 month to live due to my ailment. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a charity/orphanage home or devoted Allah (God) fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct therein. I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund charity homes (motherless homes), orphanages, and widows. I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are into radical organization and I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner, hence the reasons for this bold decision. Please, pray for me to recover as your prayers will go a long way in uplifting my spirit.

I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health condition which has seriously affected my speech and also because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you further directives on what to do and how to go about actualizing this project. I will also instruct my lawyer to file an application on your behalf to the bank where the funds were deposited for the transfer of the money to you for this purpose. I want you to always pray for me. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for an organization or a devoted Individual for this same purpose.
Contact me on my privet email mrs.shimmohammed@gmail.com

Until I hear from you by email; my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.

Remain blessed,
MRS.Shimshai Mohammed

Good Morning Pamela,


How are you this morning and how was your night? I am writing to inform you that payment has been sent out to you and you would be getting it today (Wednesday) morning (04-22-2009) via UPS with the tracking number J2114733672. Please if you aren't going to be around i would need you to leave a letter of authorization at your front door telling them to deliver the package if you aren't around. You would be receiving money order in total of $2000.


On receiving the payment you are expected to take them to your bank and have them cashed, i suppose since the payment is in money orders you should get it cashed right away at your bank. You should then take your 10% which is $200 and you would have $1800 left. You are to send $1750 via western union money transfer using the $50 as the transfer charges. The funds should be sent via western union to:


RECEIVER: FRANK OFORI
ADDRESS: 2 JUMEIRAH ROAD
CITY: SHARJAH
STATE: DUBAI
COUNTRY: UNITED ARAB EMIRATE


Once payment is sent out kindly get back in touch with me with the following information to aid in picking up the money. Western Union info from you should include:

Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)
Test Question and Answer
Total Amount Sent

Please make sure the money is sent out using the MONEY AVAILABLE IN MINUTES
.. Please send me an email with the details immediately the transaction is completed and any other useful information that might aid in picking up the money. I would want the payment cashed today and the transfer also sent out
today.

N:B- Western Union Transfer Charges are to be deducted from the company's balance and not from your own percentage pay.

Thank you.
Niel Stevenson.

Hi,

My bf was looking at a motor bike on Craig's list for a bike listed way below book price. The woman selling it, Jessica Madsen jessica.madden11@gmail.com 8547 Ferndale Rd. Dallas, TX 75238, said she had just finished a divorce and wanted to sell it for that price (2006 Honda Goldwing for $4200). She wanted "eBay" to handle the transaction so they would both be safe. She insisted they take care of this immediately. "Ebay" sent my boyfriend a message with an attached PDF that was supposed to be the invoice. It basically looked like a print screen of an Ebay page, and I assume the names and addresses were photoshopped in or a fake site was used to generate the graphic. It asked for money gram to be transferred and spelled "Wal Mart" incorrectly as well as using incorrect grammar another place. I am sure this was a scam.
