Ivory Coast.

My name is ROLAND YAYA BEKAI,I am resident in Abidjan the capital city of Ivory Coast.I am presently in a
refugee camp here in abidjan.
I urgently want to acquire properties (THREE BIG
HOUSES or more) because I want to relocate my myself
out of this war torn country for safety and also to
start a new life.
My parents are no more living but they have left some
tangible amount of money for me.They left the sum
of 6,5million dollars for me.(Six million,five
hundrend thousand us dollars.)


I am 19 years old.I want to also present you to my bank as my guardian since i am still not up to 25 years old to enable lay claims to my inheritance.
This is according to the agreement my late father
entered with the bank and ordered that i must be
twenty five years old before I can have access to the
money but that incase of his death,I can present a
guardian of my choice to the bank and the bank can let
such individual have access and manage the money for
me until I reach the age of 25 years.I went to the
bank after his death to try and withdraw money for my
use and I found out about all what I am telling you
now.


This is the reason why I need you now to assist me so
that I can leave this country to come and live with
you and continue my studies while you will help me
invest the money until I reach the age of 25 years.
Please contact me as soon possible for it is very
urgent.


God bless you.
Regards,
ROLAND YAYA BEKAI

Also they are hitting people with rental property around colleges.  They offer to send 10 months rent if the people will cash their cashiers check and pay the shipping agent the extra amount to pay for shipping their furnature and car to the good ole USA.  Needless to say it hit some very nice Christain people who thought they were helping someone else tothe tune of being out over $5000.00 of their own money.  They bank who first stated that the cashiers check was OK now say they aren't responsible.............

new Pentons! Dennis D

Golly, I'm really excited to be given the opportunity to make a big chunk of change. And wouldn't all of us POG members want to help out such a repressed fellow? I can't wait to hear from him.

This is the first time I've gotten one of these letters, so I'm feeling pretty popular right now.

Darn, This guy isn't legit? I already had half the fortune spent on a 14 karat gold plated Jackpiner with authentic rhino leather seat.

I got that same email. The net is full of them

Death to spammers!

Larry Seale
I choose to ride

[Gavin Housh]

I got this email also. I think we should turn it over to the FBI. You never know who will fall pray to these scammers. Gavin

Sorry (for him) to say that I know of someone who fell for this, and got burned to the tune of $1500.  Personally, I instantly delete any and all email from which I do not know the sender.  Same goes with junk mail, and I politely hang up on any telemarketer.  If I want to buy something, I'll go get it.  I don't need ANYONE contacting me and trying to sell me something.  I'm sure I speak for every POG'er in saying that our money is too hard-earned to give up to thieves - 'cause that's just what they are.  

Hey Chris - I think there's also an "Ostrich" seat cover available, in addition to that Rhino hide.
