Today 27 April 2008, 3pm Sunday, I’ve opened my email to check wheater my friend has send his eBook on my email as he already promised to do so. So I scroll up and down in my email for a few seconds and I found it. Then I was thinking about cleaning my email a bit because I found out that in the spam section has already being populated by the spam email in about 20 of spam emails.
So I began to delete each of em one by one. Then I found something interesting in the spam section and i open it and here’s what I found..

Yes, what I found is an African email scam So, he thinks I was that damn stupid to believe that kind of bull**** huh ?
Now here’s the reason why this is a scam…
- I don’t now who the hack is Jimmy Gamba is.
- I don’t have any friends in African countries.
- I don’t have any Africans contact in my email, cell phones, and so on..
- He said, he will pay me 30% of his $15 million transfer money. Hmm.. it sounds to good to be real.
- If I was him, i don’t thrust strangers to handle the money matters. Why he ask me to do so? I’m a stranger.
-I don’t even have any connections with any of African’s banks
So guys, please don’t fall to these stupid African email scams. I will post more of these scams soon.
