Compliments!
After going through your profile, I found your profile interesting
and decided to contact you directly for an urgent transfer and
investment,During the heat of the civil war in my country -Cote D'Ivoire
,almost all government offices, operations and parastatals were attacked
and vandalized. The Cote D'Ivoire Cocoa Corporation was in like manner
loathed and burnt down to ashes, where and when Cocoa worth millions of
dollars were stolen by the invading rebel/military forces who attacked
many public offices/departments.Many top government officials and senior
army officers were selected and assassinated including my father who was a
key target because of his very sensitive military position and appointment
in my country.Regreatably, my father General Konan Leopold Banny,was then
captured and murdered along with his half brother in cold-blood during a
mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence in Abidjan was
ambushed by the notorious rebel leader,
I am contacting you to
seek your kind assistance to transfer and invest US$8.5 million belonging
to my late father which he deposited in a Financial house here in Abidjan.
This money is revenues from solid minerals and Cocoa sales from my late
Father's Farm which were made during my father's tenure immediately before
the out-break of hostilities in my country.
Before my
mother died, she secretly told me that my father deposited some money
which he made from Cocoa sales and contracts in one of the Financial house
here in Ivory Coast and that I should look for a trustworthy foreign-
business-partner who would help me to transfer and invest this money in
profitable business venture overseas.
She told me to do this
quickly so that I can leave Ivory Coast and, then settle down abroad. She
gave me the docments to prove the deposit and then told me that my father
used my name as the only son to deposit the money in the Financial house.
If you are willing to assist me, please let me know
immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the money to your
account with the Financial house. Please note that I have decided to
offer you 20% of the total money as compensation for your noble
assistance in accordance with my mothers advise. I am interested in any
profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your country
and you would also get a school for me, so that i can finish my education.
Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to you
because of the political crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now.
I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I will not look for
another foreign partner. Thank you and may God bless you and your dear
family. Yours sincerely

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
