No More Email Scams!
A photo shoot i did for Genevieve Magazine.
What kind of people fall for this kind of scam,am so sure that the victims are greed people who want to reap where they did not sow.Tell me why would anyone want to be a next of kin to dead man that he never heard of before.The time and energy some of these people put in composing and sending these emails is enough for them to be productive in genuine endeavors. This is so painful to me because of the fact that it is indirectly affecting me,i know that you might be wondering in what ways that it affects me. Everyone who knows me know that most of my time is spent online either shopping,browsing to improve myself and so many other things. Now because am in Nigeria right ,shopping online has become a task instead of fun that it used to be;because of my IP address am asked to confirm my credit card either by scanning and attaching it to their verifying dept or they totally block my account on that website yes its true Amazon.com did that to my account of almost 7yrs.This made me so sad because i really like that website as if that was not enough Calumet.com did not process my order for over one week after waiting patiently i called to find out what was taking so long for goods that was supposed to ship same day;they actually thought that someone stole my card and was making those orders from Nigeria. I had to call my credit card bank in France for verification after the drilling of answering questions when everything was settled the website told me that they can not call my bank since it was outside USA they advice me to wire the money to them,i couldn’t be bothered with all that stress so i canceled my ordered items.I went to B & H photos.com mind you for the same items, i made my orders and waited and nothing happened.At this point i was really fed up with the whole process and time was running out for the assignment that i need those items. So well! i reluctantly did the verification after which they processed and sent it out yesterday. All this embarrassments were caused by “My friend the fraudster“. I have enclosed an example of their nonsense emails.
Dear,
My name is Barr. Jerry Jackson, I have a client, who used to work with Mekon Associates Company in London, On the 2nd of August 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Manchester Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
I made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate my client’s extended relatives, this proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance institution where the huge fund was lodged, which was the same finance institution, where the deceased had an account valued at about US$20M dollars. The finance institution issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.Since then, I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over nine (9) months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$20M dollars can be paid to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this message, do not forget to send me your contact address, and direct telephone number, so that I can put a call through to you for an extensive discussion on this deal.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
BARR. JERRY JACKSON.
