I just got spam in my private message area here on BellaOnline... They werent very original... Here's the text of the message.


____________________________________________

From: air334

Good day TO You
I'm deaf girl of 21 years old
reply at airbreeze30@yahoo.fr
And its A Good Thing of knowing you Which I believe
you will be of great assistants to me that will make
the beginning of never-ending family relationship. I
hope that this proposal will not be an inconvenience
or embarrassment to you.I must not hesitate to confide
in you this simple and sincere business.
My name is MARYAM , I am 21 years of age, the only
daughter of late Mr and Mrs MENTU ODINGA, from Nshili
District of Gikomgoro Province in Republic of Rwanda
My father before his death was a prosperous Cocoa and
Gold merchant in Kigali, Republic of Rwanda before
his untimely death, after his business tr! ip to Abidjan
-Cote d'Ivoire, to negotiate on a Cocoa and
Gold business he wanted to invest in Abidjan -
Coted'Ivoire.

My mother died when I was little ,and since then my
father took me so special. Before his death
on 12th November 2002 he told me that he has the sum
of Eight million,Five hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$8.500.000) deposited in a security
company in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, that he wanted to
use his fund to invest his cocoa business in Ivory
Coast.
After the burial of my late father i came down to
Abidjan and went to the security company where the
fund is deposited with all the documents regarding to
the deposit of the fund that was given to me by my
late father. But because of the unstable political
problems here last year I instructed the security
company to transfer the consignment to their
affilliate office in Europe, the fund is presently in
Europe now waiting for clearan! ce.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate
and really don't know what to do.Now I want you to
help me claim and transfer the fund for investment in
your country because I have suffered a lot of set
backs as a result of incessant political crisis here
in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought
sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in
this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be
highlyregarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me.
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your
custody.
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
posible.
Thank you so much and God bless you.
My sincere regards,
Miss MARYAM MENTU

You know, they'd probably make a better impression if it wasnt for all the grammatical and syntax errors...I cant believe people actually fall for this [censored].

Spammers need to be tarred, feathered, and drawn and quartered...

If anyone gets anything similar to this, dont reply to it, that only encourages these morons...just delete it.

Erin,

Did you report this to the Webmaster so she can check it out?

Because unless someone is coming on here and specifically sending you a private message, you shouldn't get SPAM in that area! It seems like a waste of time to go individually to everyone and spam their private message area.

None of us editors can see your information, so Lisa will not know about this unless you report it. Please send her as much information as you can, but I remember her saying NOT to forward spam messages, because her mailbox automatically catches and deletes it; so don't just forward the message! <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Unfortunately, this is NOT an area of my expertise (give me asthma, music, books - just not computers!)

Hi Erin, so sorry this happened to you, if you want to report it to the webmaster, go to the bottom of this page where it says Contact Us (lower left of your screen) but I don't really think there is anything that can be done. This happens every once in awhile someone comes thru and just picks people at random.
