Attention english speaking visitors: The text message below is a form of advanced fee fraud, a.k.a. a Nigerian or 419 scam. An explanation of these scams can be found on scam-o-rama or on the website of the US secret service.

Onderstaande epistel is een Nigeriaanse- of 419 scam, een vorm van oplichterij per email. Lees de uitleg hier. Qua inhoud lijkt hij op andere exemplaren die ik gezien heb: een brigadier die wapens moet kopen voor één of andere Afrikaanse regering, die brigadier verduisterd daar wat van, bergt het veilig op, maar sterft voordat hij ervan kan profiteren. Zelfde oplichterij, zelfde thema, andere namen.

From: "MR MARTIN ZUMA" Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2004 18:28:33 -0700 Subject: FROM MR MARTIN ZUMA Dear Sir/Madam, I know you will be surprised to read from me. But please consider this letter as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. Firstly , I must introduce myself. I am Mr. MARTIN ZUMA from Angola. I am the first and the only son of Brigadier JOE ZUMA. I am presently residing in Dubai (United Arabi Emirates). On behalf of my widowed mother Mrs. Gloria Zuma, I decided to solicit for assistance to transfer the sum of US$80 Million ( Eighty Million United States Dollars) inherited from my late father into your personal/company’saccount. Before his death he was brigadier in change of arms and ammunition procurement for the Angolan Army.In his WILL he specifically drew my attention to the sum of US$ 80 Million which he deposited in a safe box in a private Security Company in SPAIN in my name(MR JOMO ZUMA)As as treasure box fully documented in my name. In fact my father said and I quote:my beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to US$80 Million ( Eighty Million U.S.Dollars). I deposited the box containing the fund in a security company in SPAIN. during the war I was very dedicated and committed to winning the war against rebels until I found out that senior army official and Government functionaries were busy helping themselves with Government funds and properties and sending them to foreign countries. Due to this when the former special adviser to the president and I were assigned by thepresident ( EDUADO SANTOS) to purchase arms, we saw this as a golden opportunity and diverted the money and divided it and I got a total sum of US$80 Million. In case of my absence on earth as a result of death only, you should solicit for the fund investment purposes. From the above, you will understand that lives and future of my family depends on this money as such I will be grateful if you can assist us. I am now living in Dubai while my mother and others are there in my home country Angola. You know that Dubai Govt does not give foriegners permit without a guarantor so I am stranded this is the reason I contacted you so that you will come over to Dubai For us to meet or you contact with the securirty company in SPAIN and get the consignment box out and get the fund transfer to your country where I will make good use of the fund. In view of this I cannot invest in Dubai, hence I am prepared to offer you 30% of the total fund while 10% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 60% will be for me and my family . Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we have established trust and confidence between ourselves. Please treat this matter as very urgent and contact me through this mail address. However, I need your private mobile number so that I can call you and give you mine for easy communication. May our almighty God bless you and your family Amen. Thanks MARTIN ZUMA.
