Hi, What is this email? Sounds to me it is a scam. Most importantly, this mail list is not for this purpose regardless the truth of the email. I was quite annoyed but this kind of emails. I believe this guys sent out such email more than once on this list. J -----Original Message----- From: . [mailto:la...@ne...] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 4:41 PM To: val...@li... Subject: [Valgrind-users] cry for assistanse FROM: AMSTERDAM-NETHERLANDS Dear friend, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am the first son of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD5.Million (Five million United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe when he introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. it is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South Africa for fear of our lives. After which I traveled to the Netherlands and I am currently staying in the Netherlands where i am seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. Since the law of Europe prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of European Union. As the eldest child of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future. Both countries have similar political history. I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the security company to clear the Consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 2% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 88% will be for my investment in your country. Contact with me immediately while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Best regards, NOTE: ON YOUR INABILITY TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION RESPOND TO ME AND INFORM ME SO I CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!

No, this is not a joke. This is a scam. See the following email. Jeff ======================================================== Subject: Security Alert!!!! Importance: High Internet Fraud Tips from the National Consumers League's Internet Fraud Watch Nigerian Money Offers: Someone has contacted you from Nigeria or another African country and offered you millions of dollars.All you have to do is help transfer money, diamonds, or other ricches to your bank account for safekeeping. It sounds like a dream come true, but it's really a night mare. Be aware that these scams are well-known. They used to be called "Nigerian letters" because they came by mail, but now these messages also come by phone, fax, or email. These promises are never true. The purpose of the scam is to get money out of your bank account, not to put money into it. Once you are on the hook, they'll never let you go. You will be asked for a never-ending series of payments for "transfer fees," "legal expenses," and other bogus costs. Be wary of offers to send you an "advance" on your "commission." Some con artists use this ploy to build trust and to get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your "commission," instructing you to deposit it and then wire payment to them for taxes, bonding, or some other phony purpose. The bank tells you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced. After you wire the money, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it turned out to be an elaborate fake. Now the crooks have your payment, and you're left owing your bank the amount that you withdrew. Don't believe photographs of the "treasure." One common ploy is to tape money around a block of wood or bundles of paper to make it look like a large amount of currency. Sometimes the crooks even sprinkle harmless powder on the money and tell victims that it's a toxic chemical used to protect it. Then they offer to sell a special substance to remove the powder! Never provide your bank account or other financial information. This information can be used to withdraw money from your account. Don't agree to travel anywhere to meet these people. They avoid coming to the United States because they fear arrest. Instead, they sometimes try to lure victims to meet them in Africa or other countries. Victims have been robbed and even murdered. Remember that these are hardened criminals. According to the Secret Service, these crooks use the money they make on this scam to finance other illegal activities such as drug dealing and credit card fraud. If they get your money, you'll never get it back. It's very difficult to bring these crooks to the United States for trial, and action is rarely taken against them in their own countries. However, it's still helpful to report actual or attempted Nigerian money offer scams to law enforcement agencies. ======================================================== -----Original Message----- From: Patrick McFarland [mailto:un...@pa...] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 3:12 AM To: val...@li...
