Scam e-mail..

[DragonRider]

I do believe this is an attempt to scam me for my wealth of money that I have stashed away, but I will be darned if I can figure out how they might do so, unless they think I will send them oodles and gobs of money to have their pets shipped stateside to me..only for them to be stuffed animals..................:think:

 

HELLO,

 

GOOD DAY AND GOD BLESS YOU.

 

MY NAME IS REV TONY BROWN,I LIVE IN OHIO,CLEVELAND USA. WITH A FAMILY OF

ONE WIFE AND THREE KIDS. I AND MY WIFE ARE ON A CHRISTIAN MISSION TO

AFRICA TO GO AND SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS TO THE PEOPLE OF ALAGONDA IN AFRICA.

SO WE CAME ALONG WITH OUR PETS MY TWO PUPPIES .

AFTER A WHILE WE NOTICED A SUDDEN CHANGE IN LIVE OF THE PETS.

SO WE TOOK THEM TO THE ANIMAL CLINIC AND WE WERE TOLD AT THE THAT THE

AFRICAN WEATHER IS NOT GOOD FOR THE 2 PUPPIES .MORE OVER MY WIFE(MARY)AND

I HAVE NOT BEEN

ABLE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF PUPPIES THE WAY WE ALWAYS USE TO DO BECAUSE OF

OUR MISSIONARY JOB.

It's gotta be a money scam somehow...maybe they get credit card info to ship the mutts to you? I haven't see this one before.

 

Hey but there is a real Rev Tony Brown: http://www.fbcwhitesburg.org/staff/pastor.html

Wonder just how much shipping would cost for two "puppies" from Africa.......

[mini-muffin]

Evidently you aren't the only person to get this email here's a link to others. Definitely a scam. Heck he says with a family of one wife and three kids. Nobody talks like that.

You would if you were a X Mormon raising billygoats.:rotfl:

[Monsta]

There is no such place as Alagonda.

 

Plus, those two puppies would feed a lot of starving Africans... Send him a recipe.

SCAM is definitely the proper description - I'm not too far from "Ohio, Cleveland USA" so ask him for his church address and I'll get some of his parishioners to adopt his PUPPIES.

 

I really enjoy pi$$ing with those nigerians.

I note in the e mail the mixed use of proper English and the shorthand that some people use on their cell phones to text message.

 

Also the use of all capital letters is suspect.

And I thought we all had 7 wives and 50 plus kids (thankfully not!!) :rotf:

I agree many foreign languages change the position of words compared to English. Like we would say There goes the dog" they would say "There dog goes." Like the Ohio, Cleveland we would say CLeveland, Ohio. Multiple wives etc. Sounds like a foreign scam to me and why would you get the email out of all the persons in the world.

Last time I checked, we hadn't had multiple wives in over 100 years, but I will ask Marsha or was it Julie, maybe Teresa,

I'd be OK with a pair of lions. Might have to buy some more land and a taller fence though.
