Of curiosity i replied to it
Hello Miss Juliet,
How are you? i am all that u assume. What have u got to tell abt u?
Today i received a reply to it. It is too long. but i request you to take time and read it.
Hello Dearest,

How are you doing presently,I hope this my mail will reach you in good condition of health,I will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here.My name is Miss.Juliet Sankawulo. Am 25years old girl from Liberia, the only daughter of Late Dr.Wilton G. Sankawulo Jnr.
who was a politician. He died during the war in my country. My parents died during the war crises caused by the former president Charles Tailor.

Am the only suviverial of my family so i managed to make my way to the near by country Senegal, where am now residing in a refugue camp in Dakar Senegal.

I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I am receiving from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father.Her aim was to kill me.

Meanwhile,I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hide away my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily she did not discover where I kept my Father's File which contains important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Dakar, Republic of Senegal. I wish to contact you personally for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in your country.

My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$ 6.500,000.00 in Finance Firm with my name as the next of kin. However, I shall forward you with the necessary information of the deposit on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer and investment of the fund in your country. As you will help me in an investment, and I will like to complete my studies, as I was in my school before i escaped to this country to safe my life.

It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes.

As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.

I am staying at the female hostel. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self please I beg you not to disclose it to any body till I come over to you, once the fund has been transferred. I hope my explanation is very clear but if you need further clarification, then send in your questions.i will try to send you my picture in my next mail. Thanks as i hope to receive from you soon.

Yours Dearly
Miss.Juliet Sankawulo.
Dear friends,
This is a clear fraud. if anyone among u receive such emails please ignore. if you reply, you will be brainwashed to believe them and you will be asked to give your credit card number or to deposit a huge amount in their account. and you will not get even a single rupee back.
Belive me, One known person to me had a similar experience. He was a innocent soul, he belived that email and lost Rs 1,00,000. This amount he borrowed from some private lender with huge interest and because he could not pay it back, he ended up in suicide.

Friends, please, please, please............... Ignore these kinds of emails.

The surprising thing is the email mentions they got my email from indiabroadband. that means all of my friends using this forum is suseptible to this email

Take precaution

Thank you

Everything except this part is believable. And, I hope that you are not just following up on smoothvibe's post about it.

By the way, if this is true, then.......

Dhanesh,

Think about my intentions. why should i write such a long mail? i just thought i can save some body it will be good

you feel it unbelieveable because you have commonsense to think that, that email is fraud.
but there are people who belive it.

Please be careful while using your language.
I was talking about another thread which included the same "letters" mentioned here.
Sorry if I hurt you by any means.

Indiabroadband.net is not under any threat.

Your e-mail id is probbably the same as your user id. These guys set up bots which scan the whole members list which offcourse is avauilable to view for every one including guests.. once they have the whole list they just suffix the member id's with yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com and a small percentage of our members would end up getting their e-mails. You were one of them.

Our forum was not hacked or anything. I have had loads of such e-mails in the past saying saw your profile at so and so website.

Nothing to worry about. Just press the report phishing and it will be reported to your e-mail provider for furthur investigation.

hi nisant666
Would like to tell you the reason of getting such email
your email address is visible to all on your Indiabroadband.net profile, so anyone can check it from there, for your security you can hide it from your contact info.
Hope it will help you
