Attn

I am Barrister Tom Tida, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Engr.P.B.Bystander , a national Of your country,who used to be a contractor and importer here in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my client,his wife and their only daughter were involved in a ghasty motor accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended family relatives, this is to no avail.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$12 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited. The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.

Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all
necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this attract no risk at all for it will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

On the receipt of your response i will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.

Best Regards.
Tom Tida Esq


To barr_tom_tida1@yahoo.co.uk

Dear Mr Tida,



I was very interested to receive your communication. There are not many members of the Bystander family in existence, as my Great-Grandfather changed his name in 1881 after being disowned by his Father, Mr James MacIlhinny of Lisburn, County Down.



The client to which you refer sounds like my Great-Uncle, Mr Padraig Bystander. He had no other name than this. It may possible that latterly he used another name beginning with B – I really could not say. No-one in the family is aware of it.



However, because of his disgraceful behaviour, and the activities which brought shame on the family name, my Father was told by his Father never to speak of him, and he never did. Indeed, my Mother on her deathbed cautioned me to beware of my Great-Uncle, and in no circumstances have anything to do with him. He was trained, I believe, as a Civil Engineer, and many of his immoral schemes depended on this qualification.



So my position is this. If your client is not Padraig Bystander, then there is no possibility of his being even remotely related to me. If your client is indeed Padraig Bystander, then I wish to have nothing to do with him or his estate. In either case, I suggest you invest the money in your business, or give the amount to charity, as your conscience directs you. If this is not possible, then let the Security Finance Firm confiscate it, and welcome. No-one in my family would wish to have anything to do with it. Anyone who knew the full story of my Great-Uncle’s shocking history would feel the same.



I would dearly love to draw a line under the regrettable fact of my Great-Uncle’s existence. Our hearts would be relieved in sorrow to know of the death of this terrible man. It is a grim consolation that he died without issue, if your client is one and the same.

So my question is this: does the abbreviation “Engr.” Mean “Engineer”? In Ireland this is not common usage, although we understand it is the case in Germany, to which my Great-Uncle initially fled. The answer to this question would set our minds at rest.





Yours sincerely,



Innocent Bystander

I've been deleting all the typical letters from 'important people' who want to transfer millions into my account and share their profits with me. A few weeks ago there were a rash of young teen orgies video scams but I can use "MailWasher" and bounce them back to the sender. I think this has helped reduce the amount of SPAM I've been getting over the years. This one turned up today. It's a new one for me...

A hot one! I can't post the text, because the email is a picture file with embedded links. Basically it looks like I am contest winner, or have been picked for a special promotion to receive a free laptop. All I have to do is log in to the embedded site, give my address and phone number (and probably download some nasty spyware onto my computer).

This is the header:

It has a link saying to receive your free computer, log into this link...

As with most Phishing emails it is often sent late at night or early in the morning when people are often not thinking too clearly.

Be careful out there. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the world.

I tend to delete this stuff right away, so I can't post any good spam letters. "Good Spam"... isn't that an oxymoron?

However, maybe someone here can help me find something. Last year I was sent a website where the author had a unique way of handling spam. She strung them along, sometimes for weeks on end. The spammers ended up almost frantic because they thought they were going to lose out.

Then she posted all the emails that had been written during the sting. It was hilarious! Has anyone seen this page?

The latest spam bit involves ebay. You get a letter offering to sell you something directly to avoid the bid process. The giveaway is that the "seller" doesn't have the same email addy as the listed seller and always wants cash or a Western Union payment

I still scan the paper closely every morning looking for that one guy in Africa who is desperately trying to give away his millions but has yet to receive a reply. Poor bugger.
