A new member from Nigeria????
« on: November 17, 2010, 10:25:52 »
I've been approached by a member with a once in a lifetime opportunity, and fear that others may well have been approached as well.
   
   This is the email I recieved this morning.
   
   
   Hello REV
   
   You received the following message from: geo123 (george_manda01@yahoo.fr)
   
   At: http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/
   
   Hello
   
   My name is Mr.George Manda. Please kindly allow me to inform you about this
   deal which I have been wrapping up for years now, and which I will love
   to do with you as it is the reason why I have contacted you. Although
   this proposal may come to you as a suprise, but I would want you to
   understand that this deal is 100% legal and risk free, though it
   requires confidentiality. What I need from you is trust and your honest
   coperation for us to execute this project for our benefit only.If you
   really believe in deal, get back to me or give me a call on my private
   telephone number for details. I await your urgent response.
   
   Have my best regards.
   Mr.George Mand
   +22545903362
   
   Strangely George can't spell his own surname at the bottom of the letter.
   
   I have never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I would suggest that George's letter is ignored if you have also been a lucky recipient!

ODD.
   
   Unless the moderators have been extremely quick deleting his profile, geo123 doesn`t appear in the MEMBERS LIST, but was able to email you via the forum?
   Can`t believe this old '419' scam is still going on...

You have to be logged in to access the 'email user' or members list details...each member is 'approved', by mods, and I don`t recall seeing geo123 appear in the 'our newest member' on the index page. Odd.

I've just had a mail from Bryan, and he's used his delete button to precise effect already this morning!
   
   I can't believe it works either, but would hate to think someone lost their hard earned because I did nothing.
   
   Hopefully alls well that ends well!

Fantastic work, Bryanator!
   So at least the security features are secure, and someone had to work hard to gain access. Probably the real George Mand(a) doesn`t know his ID has been borrowed for scamming...
   Blighters....the lot of `em!

Ok, OK... I'll cut you in.
   
   Just give Generous George a ring and send him your money. I'll go 50/50 with you on what he sends back!

I got the same email, and hate to tell you guys: but I got extremely rich, quick, with this secret deal! I split the funds with Bryan, as he was so kind to take it off the web and leave all the spoils to just him and I....

Hey! That's my man!! He walked into my garage yesterday, just like that!
   I'm about 1/3 on the way through counting the loot. Anyone have any AC's for sale, I'm starting a museum.

I know where there is one...
   
   Nice rare car, Black (good colour and unusual for this model), low mileage, mildly customized, open top, air scoop.....
   
   Does that tick all the boxes?????
   
   You could maybe make an offer....
   
   
   
   
   
   I wonder if Generous George was a previous owner???? Maybe how he came to join the club website????
