I got one of those Nigerian scam emails the other day and, because I was bored, I decided to respond. A few hours later "Gloria" (the spammer) responded and we've been going back and forth a little bit.

Now, I know that I'm not the first person to do this, but I'm having fun. For those interested in following the saga, read behind the cut.

Personally,my name is Gloria Wilfred and My Brother Oba wilfred,the only children of late Mr.Frank Wilfred,who was the chairman/President/CEO,Cacao-Cafe &Agro-Alimentary industries Plc,and a well known Diamond Merchant and he made the money in sales of Diamonds,and the fund is safely deposited with a Holding Company here in Dakar Senegal,and the money is due to me us Inheritance.

We,would like to apply through this medium for your co-operation and to secure an opportunity to invest and do joint business with you in your country.we,are contacting you believing you are a honest and trustworthy person,and also believe you will not betray the confidence we are willing to repose in you,for we to have contacted you even though we've not met before.

On,Monday August 4,2003 a group of so called rebel forces took over the city of (MONROVIA)to over-throw the Government of Mr.Charles Taylor,the President of LIBERIA.and on the 20th day morning at about 4:18am some fractions of the same group of rebels forces break into our house and killed our security guard and pass through the gate entrance to the main building and took my father away to an un
known destination.

After,about four hours later we found him (my father)at the road side,by then he had been totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in the pool of his own blood.From there,we rushed him to a near by hospital and hours later he sent for my mother.So he told me and my Sister that he can not make it from the doctors diagnosis,he also told us that it was because he (my father) was not from the northern part of the country that he has been treated this way and also being a political activist.And again he said he is suspecting some of his business partners for conspiracy and this sort of brutality.

He,also told me and my sister that he deposited a huge amount of money i.e Eight Million United States Dollar (US$8,000,000.00) in a holding company in the Capital city of Senegal (Dakar) and also told us where he kept the whole documents concerning this deposit that is made for investment purpose in the western world.

That same day,he (my father) gave up the ghost.Then with the help of the soldiers, called (ECOMOG)we escaped to Dakar/Senegal, where we are now.I am now contacting you believing you are honest and trustworthy to help/assist us to retrive and receive the money in your account for proper investment,in your country and also accept us in your country as your own blood family.

Your able co-operation is to become our business partner in your country and create ideas on how money will be invested,properly managed and the type of investment after the money is transferred to your custody with your honest help and assistance. Meanwhile,on indication of your willingness to handle this transaction sincerely by protecting our interests and upon your acceptance of this proposal I would furnish you with the full detailed information,procedure,and mutually agree on your percentage interest or share holding for helping us to secure the release of the deposit and investing the money in your country under your proper management and care.

I shall be glad to reserve this respect and opportunity for you,if you so desire,but do urge you to give this matter your immediate attention it deserves.If this proposal is acceptable by you,please do not make undue advantage of the trust i bestow on you,and please do
take your time to go through the mail and get back to me immediately as your urgent call and reply today is highly needed,for more detailes informations and oral talks.

Looking forward to your urgent call and positive reply today and a mutual healthy business relationship with you,and God bless.

Best regards,and have a peacefully and cool day.

Yours Faithfully,
Gloria William.

Gloria,

What has happened to your family sounds terrible. My prayers are with you.

I am assuming that it is through one of my business partners, who has had many dealings in your country, that you came by my name. I do not mind this, although I wish that he would have let me know to expect your email in advance. That said, with your circumstances, I can understand why he might have remained mute on the subject.

I do not want to mince words, as I know that moments are precious at this time.

Please let me know, how can I help?

Fred Grisolm, Esq.

Gloria,

I have begun fasting today and will pray for you when I return from my meetings later this evening. May God bless you and save you from the dangerous position which you now find yourself in.

I am presently out of town for a week long conference on condiments. As such, I do not have access to a fax machine and my phone is off for most of the day. I do, however, have my laptop and internet access on at all times. So, at present, you can really only reach me by email. If you would prefer to speak by phone, then you would have to wait until November 16th, when I will return home and again have access to both my phone and fax machine. However, I sense that this might be too late. I wish that I did have access to these things right now, and will ask some of the other people here if they do. I do not hold out much hope though. The condiment industry is very competitive and the other attendees tend to keep to their self and seldom help.

One thing that I am slightly confused about, and please forgive me for asking, your email address says that your name is Wilfred. I thought it was Gloria? I just want to make sure that we're both being honest with one another. I have attached a photo of myself to this email, can you please send me a photo of yourself so that I can be sure of who I'm dealing with. I hope you understand. I've had someone take advantage of me in the past (they sold me a car that fell apart after 20kms, literally! The doors fell off while I was driving down the highway), and just want to be sure that I'm dealing with a straight shooter.

I wish you also a peaceful day that is not too warm, yet not too cold.

Thanks,
Fred Grisolm, Esq.

p.s. When fasting (this is my first time), are no foods allowed at all? Because I am at this conference, I am required by my company to taste some ketchups, mustards and relishes. These are only the tiniest tastes, so it barely counts as eating. If this is not permitted, then I will make sure to spit the condiment out after tasting.

Wow. Gloria, you are a very attractive woman. If you were ever to come over here for a visit, I would be very much honoured if you would allow me to take you out to dinner and show you the sights. I apologize if this offer offends you, but I am smitten.

I was so taken with your photo that I had to show it to one of the other men at the conference. He is less trusting than I and thinks that you may be trying to take advantage of me. That is the problem with this world - not enough people have trust and faith in one another. So that I can prove him wrong, could you please send me a photo of you holding a paper with my email address on it? That would shut him up.

I have been fasting since yesterday and have a question (not answered in your previous email): Do I have to stop eating all foods? Is ketchup, mustard and relish ok? As I mentioned, I'm at a condiment conference and am searching out new tastes and trends for our company and am required to at least taste everything once. Also, I've been feeling a little dizzy and even fainted when walking down the hotel steps this morning. Is this normal? Will the fainting spells pass?

I'm pretty new to this whole fasting thing and could really use your advice.

I will be emailing Dr. Alfred Mbaye later this afternoon.

Fred Grisolm, Esq.

Dear Dr. Alfred Mbaye,

I was referred to you by Gloira William, who I wish to help in her quest to get her money out of Nigeria.

She told me to contact you directly. Please advise.


Hoping that your day finds the correct balance between cold and hot,
Fred Grisolm, Esq.

p.s. What is Gloria like as a person? Please do not tell her I asked. I think that she is a very beautiful woman and I should like to ask her out on a date when she arrives in this country. I have not felt this way since before my wife passed away - and I barely know Gloria! The lord does work in mysterious ways.

I stumbled upon a website once where people messed with these scammers, and got them to do some crazy shit in pictures "just to make sure they're legit", like pose holding a bunch of fish, or have them pose naked, or posing naked covered in fish. All I really remember is the fish and nudity, but I'm sure you can come up with something better.
