Kev946 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Just go this email. Should I reply......? Good day,Am Hamed Fareed, a merchant in Cuba,I am suffering from esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools Cuba. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit of USD$4.6 M (Four million six hundred thousan dollars) that I have with Financial Firm Abroad.I will want you to help me collectthis deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and dont let themknow that it is I Hamed Fareed that is making this generous donation as the holy book does not allow this. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come, I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I dont want anything that will Jeopadize my last wish. and Also I will be contacting with you by email as I dont want anybody to know cos they are always around me. Hamed Fareed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 This was the best one i got If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes", delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto-dial to call the speaking clock in America and Russian sex lines. This virus will crash your car and cause your insurance to be null and void. IT WILL CAUSE YOUR S**T TO FLOAT TO THE SURFACE AND BE "UNFLUSHABLE" WHEN VISITING AT FRIENDS HOUSES. It will smoke ALL your marijuana and drink ALL your wine & beer and eat ALL your chocolate. FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING?? It will leave the toilet seat up, switch your spray deodorent with hair spray, your eye make-up remover with nail polish remover, your shaving foam with hair mousse and your aspirins with sleeping pills while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. It will cause you to be mysteriously overdrawn on your overdraft at the bank (most probably due to all those hotel rendezvous). It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences. If the "Badtimes" message opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave you with no clean underwear and put that lost black sock in your whites wash. It will not only convert your low fat margarine to salted butter but also refill your skimmed milk with full cream and cause you to put on loads of weight. ******* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. ******* And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds you'll fart so hard you'll wish they made Pampers for grown ups. Send to everyone ..... p.s. In case you are a blonde, this is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'm tempted to wind him up. Maybe askign for a picture of him in hospital? , TBH couldn't be ar5sed wasting my time. What is annoying is how they get your emails in the first place. Mine's Hotmail, (easy I hear you all say), but it didn't even detect it as Junk.

Zedrush Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 AND LET THE GAMES BEGIN To my poor Hamed Fareed, I am so sorry to hear of your current state, I cant believe how generous you have been with your money and totally understand the reasons why you have taken the path of the good Samariton. I wish there were more of Gods great creatures like you. I am so surprised you chose me, how did you find my email? You may already know of me but let me introduce myself anyway, my name is Laura Lopez, and I run an investment in development company called Anusmiboi PLC, our market is helping underdeveloped countries have a chance in growing economically. We recieve a lot of funding from succesful people who wish to help other people in under develope countries grow financially. Perhaps it is by the Lords guidance rather than coincidence that we are currently looking for a candidate who would be willing to start a successful Pottery Company in an under developed country economically where you are based. But as of yet not had any many ideas of where to start or who to help us with such a search. We are looking to invest up to 76,000 US Dollars + training, travel expenses, and food to and thro the USA to start the company up, the kind of company will be one where authentic cultural vases and bowls are made and then imported over to here for sale. We are looking for someone who is talented and buisness minded and knows about pottery and cultural vases. Perhaps now may not be a good time to be asking you if you know of a suitable candidate because of your current situation, I am so worried and my heart goes out to you. I wish I could help you, but I share my bank account with my sister Jennifer, and lately I cant get hold of her as she is always busy with her music concerts. I look forward to hearing from you my Fareed, my heart goes out to you you brave soul kinded man. i wish there were more men like you, not like my bastard ex boyfriend who I found out later was more into men than me. Anyway Please take care All my Love Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 There's an exact same scam in the letter's archive. How about using that one. OK. On with the old faithful "art company" introduction. From: Brian Anthony To: Hamed Fareed Dear Mr. Hamed Fareed, Thank you very much for your very interesting email, however I am afraid that I will be unable to help you at this time. These next three months are by far the busiest and most profitable period for my company and I cannot give any time to anything other than finding new artwork for our galleries especially wooden carvings. You may already know of me since it was you that contacted me. My name is Brian Anthony and I am the director of Brian Anthony Fine Arts & Artist Scholarships. We are dealers in fine art and ethnic art from all over the world. We run eight art galleries and two scholarship centres here in the UK. We also offer scholarship donations to aid up and coming new artists who may otherwise not have the financial means to be able to produce or improve upon their work. Our scholarship payments range from between $25,000 and $150,000 depending on the potential of the artist. I am sorry but I am unable to enter into your business proposition at this time, however if you have any contacts in your part of the world who may be artists that you think may benefit from our financial help then I would be very interested to be put in touch with them. We are especially very keen on promoting new artists with experience in wood carving and will be happy to offer a very generous $25,000 to $150,000 scholarship package to young or old artists with good potential who may benefit from our help. You may see some of our latest recipients and awards on our website (just click on the "visit this page" link on our homepage). If you know of an artist who could benefit from our financial help and who would be prepared to produce work for us to sell or promote then please do let me know. Again I am sorry that I am unable to help with your proposition at this time but I wish you luck in finding somebody to help you. Sincerely, Brian Anthony Director Brian Anthony Fine Arts Will this poor dying cancer victim be able to do some work for me before he kisses goodbye to this mortal world - surely not?
