This was the nth letter I received from a scammer. It's surprising to know that they are everywhere. Before, these people will mail you directly on yahoo. But now they have a lot of alternatives to contact you. Now, they'll get you in networking or communities you've signed up in. 'Pooch got a message in Friendster before from a lady who says she's stuck in a certain camp in Senegal who happens to get a large sum of money but couldn't get it for some reasons. 

So she wants to tie up with him ('Pooch or maybe anyone she's mailing) to get the money and in return she will be YOURS and you will get some money from her as well. I tried to trick her by letting her feel that I'm ignorant of what she's up to - to see what answers she'll give me while finding out ways to block the yahoo account she's using. Although blocking her account may not mean she can't do this scamming thing no more, I still sent her email address to yahoo.

A colleague's friend received a mail from someone claiming to be a staff of some company and informed her that she won a car. In order for them to ship the car they need to send some documents to her, and sending the docs means sending money to that alleged company. I printed out sample letters of the same which I got from the web of that having the same serial winning code. I thought that will help if she present it to her friend. However, my colleague's friend is determined to continue coordinating with the staff by calling them. She has sent money as well. We haven't heard a news that they received a car til now.

Now the mail I've pasted above from a certain Jack Dikko was sent through my Mobango account. I've no time now to have their email address blocked coz it's useless wasting my time since they can have free email accounts whenever they want to, one person may have a thousand email addresses for the sole purpose of scamming.

Be careful. One thing we should bear in mind is that - we won't win in any contest unless we join. Don't be a dumbass!
