Scam emails seem to be breeding. I don’t usually reply to them but as Attorney Kenneth Moore sent me 3 identical emails on the same day I thought I’d have a bit of fun with him.
Dear Correspondent.
I am compelled to write you this email for the following reason:-
One of my client, who is now deceased, in his Will, left his entire Estate and Cash deposit, valued millions of US dollars,The truth is that l do not know if you are the beneficiary or not.,For over two years, l have tried effortlessly to locate the person on the will without success, which mandated me to contact you.
Can you get back to me urgently if you are capable of investing these funds in any profitable ventures in your domain? You can reach me via this email address: kennethmooreesq@strompost.com further explanation.
Regards,
Attorney Kenneth Moore

Dear Kenneth,
I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner. You see when I first read your message on September 2nd I was so excited that I fell off my chair and landed on the cat who shocked scratched the dog on her nose. The dog chased the cat out of the house and a driver swerved to avoid them both and crashed into my wall.
The driver got angry with me and is suing me for car repairs and his whiplash injuries. I broke my arm when I fell off the chair and am off work. With my loss of wages I can’t afford to pay the driver and the vet is chasing me for an unpaid bill from when I took the dog in because the scratch became infected.
When I fell off the chair I knocked my computer off the desk and it wasn’t working until my brother came round and fixed it today. My brother who is also called Kenneth (maybe you are related) advised me to sue you for giving me a shock, not just once but 3 emails!
I told him that no I didn’t want to do that. After all you are the bringer of good news, even if it caused all of those accidents. I have been trying to think who could have left me all of that money. It can’t be Aunt Flossie because you said ‘his will’, anyway Aunt Flossie was so broke she dried her teabags on her washing line and reused them.
It could be Uncle Gerry, he was stinking rich but I’d be surprised if he left me even his toenail cuttings after I nearly poisoned him with my homemade chicken pie. I didn’t know that you had to thaw frozen chicken before cooking it.
I’m getting so excited here I’m rambling on. I look forward to you getting back to me with more details. I certainly have a profitable venture to invest the money in. I have a brand new invention of a toilet seat called ‘Embarrass Not’ that sings when you sit on it to cloak your natural functions. I will send you a free sample if you let me have your postal address and you need never be embarrassed again.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
Patricia
Hopefully I won’t get a reply, but if I do I’ll add it here.
Anything like this that comes by email or letter is sure to be a scam. If you want to believe it do a google search and you’ll soon find out the truth.
When I did a search I found that I wasn’t the only one to receive the scam email and he has been sending the same one out for quite some time. He would only be doing that if he were making money from it, so please don’t let scamsters like him take you in.
I would always advise not to reply to the scam emails, because you might get more trouble than just losing money. Several years ago I got fed up with the amount of Nigerian fraud emails that I was getting and sent an email back basically saying get lost scammer but less politely. What I didn’t realise was that it was my business email address with my telephone number in the signature.
Late that evening I received a menacing phone call from the scammer and the same happened the following evening. After that I stopped answering my phone for a while in the evenings.
P.S.
I used to walk past a house where an old lady hung teabags out on her washing line and I remember reading about a singing toilet seat invention years ago, so my reply wasn’t that far fetched!
