Moderators dtel Posted March 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2009 I normaly don't even open them but I wanted to see what kind of scam it was this time ? Flag this message IN GOD WE TRUST (2009). Saturday, March 21, 2009 12:47 PM From: "Patrick Zuma" <nuhan6@aol.com> Add sender to Contacts To: patrickzuma1@hotmail.com REPRESENTATIVE NEEDED URGENTLY, (2009). I manage our family company here in SOUTH AFRICA. ZUMA FABRICS AND TEXTILES INDUSTRIAL LTD, We supply Fabrics and Textiles. Actually I am in need of a trustworthy and honest someone who can stand in your country as a rep to my little establishment as a representative in your country. We make lots of supplies to clients in the Europe/Asia/Americas and North America and to some other part of the world, of which I do come to your country to receive payments after supplies. I realize that it's quite too expensive and stressful for me to be coming to your Country to receive such payments twice in a month Most of the payments we usually receive them paid by check. This is the main and sincere reason why I should be in need of your assistance with trust and honesty from you. As the MD if this company I am willing offer to you 5% of every payment that comes in through you with honesty on my behalf. All you need to do is to receive payment on my behalf and then cash it and you will remove 5% for yourself and then send the rest down to my company You don't have to go any length to pick the payment, because I will instruct my client to make the payment out to you and it will be mailed out to you via mail. All you will need is to provide me with following if you are interested in becoming our representative complete the details below and send via email: YOUR FULL NAMES: COMPANY NAME (Optional): FULL MAILING ADDRESS: CITY: STATE: ZIP CODE: TEL: CELLPHONE: FAX (Optional): OCCUPATION: MARITAL STATUS: Respectfully, Patrick Zuma +27 73 708 1400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 How in the world to these guys "survive" doing this? Are there folks that will actually go along with these scams? If we all replied and took him up on the offer and simply never sent anything then maybe they would stop casting the nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all replied and took him up on the offer and simply never sent anything then maybe they would stop casting the nets. My best friends family is wealthy and although he is 44 years old, his grandmother is still alive and he has grand children. His grandmother is an animal lover and gets several snail mail packets a day from animal scams. She has donated 10s of thousands of dollars to these scams, it is bad enough that my friend and his father intercept her daily mail and weed them out. A few weeks ago, I was over and she got 3 that day. My buddy opened them up and showed me two of them. These are thick, detailed packets with photo quality paper. One was asking for money for wild horses that were bought to save their lives from being put down from their poor condition and was asking for moneys for vet bills and feed. The second was for "LIMPY"!! Limpy was what they actually called him and they had pictures of a three legged wolf that had supposedly been shot and had to have his leg amputated! They wanted donations to pay for "LIMPY"s vet bills and pain medicine. My buddy was considdering having a 22/250 round engraved with "FOR LIMPY" and mailing it to the address!!
