Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Not me mate, the only people I've ever emailed on this board are Pete, and Ellie.
I've been getting some funny stuff myself, since I posted my email address (which is closely guarded) on here a few weeks ago. Did it supposedly come from philat blah blah?. If it did, someone is watching these pages, or someone we both know has got a virus, and it's spoofing my email address.
I've been getting the paypal spoof, wells fargo bank spoof, and some kind gentleman in Zimbabwe asking me if I'd like to transfer funds from the farm he was forced out of by Mugabe. He's a bloody superb chap, he will let me keep 20% of everything I move through my account for him......................do people really fall for this crap?

Mike, while your online, you must go to your bank account and update the details, or you'll be suspended. Just put all your personal details including account number, password, inside leg etc etc.


Everybody, DO NOT respond to any email that supposedly comes from your bank, paypal , in fact anywhere you have details stored. DO NOT repond to any of these.

Attention:

I am Mr.SAMORA KANGA, the elder son of late Mr. JAMES KANGA of Zimbabwe. I got your contact address from the South African Chambers of Commerce and Industry please don't worry. During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in my country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers. My father was one of the biggest farmers in the country and although a black indigene, he did not support the President's political ideology. Therefore, the president's supporters invaded my father's farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments.

After the death of my father, my mother and I together with my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. On our departure from Zimbabwe, we took along with us some money, which my father kept in the safe in my mother's custody which amounted to the sum of US$18,600,000.00 (EIGHTEEN MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) to the Republic of South Africa where we have deposited it as personal valuables in a private security company and sought for political asylum. My mother has suggested and I agree that we have to further move out of the African continent to overseas for actual safety and to do reliable business investments. Therefore we have decided that I should contact any reliable overseas person/firm/company who could assist us to transfer this money out of South Africa through a current investment account because as refugees we are not allowed to operate any account exceeding US$2,000(Two Tho
usand US Dollars). So we need your help to come down to South Africa to open a bank account through which we can transfer this money to your country. Or alternatively you may appoint a good lawyer who can help us on the relevant changes to your favor and subsequent transfers into your nominated account.

If my proposal is considered, for assisting us to Transfer this money to your country, we unanimously agree to offer you 20% of the total fund, 5% will be for any expenses that may be incurred during the transaction, 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country under your assistance. For detailed information, you can contact me on my direct line TEL: +27 731 644 029

NOTE: PLEASE, FOR REASON OF OUR ASYLUM STATUS DO MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY WHILE WE ALSO PROMISE TO DO SAME. I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100%RISKFREE. TIME IS OF ESSENCE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

BEST REGARDS

SAMORA KANGA
