Whatever gave you the thought that this is a scam Mr Duck. As far as I can see it is an appeal from the heart from a lady who is only trying to regain that which is rightfully hers. Now you should feel honoured that she has asked for your assistance in this quest. In exchange you will be duly rewarded. Take it at face value Mr Duck. How many times are you going to be offered such an attractive proposition? Lucrative is a word that springs to mind. I wish you all the best in your new business venture should you decide to help this poor unfortunate soul. I just can't work out why people are so suspicious of these pleas for help.
Terro.

Sir Terro, Your understanding and compassion appear to have no bounds. Others on this forum (No names mentioned.......but they know who they are) could learn a lot from you.
Some would be sceptical of that poor lonely orphaned heart crying out for help, but not you. You are a man amonst men!

Just calling it as I see it Mr Duck. Although, between you and me, I am a little wary of the motive behind the scheme. Perhaps a little judicious research would be of benefit before you jump on board. Just trying to help you understand.
Terro.

Will you blokes get your tongues out of your cynical cheeks! Such suspicious behaviour. I'm ashamed to be a nomad mate.
Actually I was once asked to look after an American bloke's fortune which he had been advised of just before he went to Nigeria on business. Then he ecided he was coming to Townsville to marry me. We "met" on an internet mating site. He saw my profile and thought I might be an easy touch. I knew it was a crock of sh.t, but I played along, knowing full well if he was a genuine, credible buisness man he would have an accountant and lawyers to look after the sol-called "funds". He gave me the email address of the bank holding the funds, but it didn't exist - of course. The english was very poor in all but one email. While in Nigeria his friend's daughter fell down the stairs and they needed $500 for medical expenses to treat her injuries. That's the bite! I replied with a very clear, abusive email expressing my disgust at his attempt to con me out of $500. For some reason I never heard from him again. I was almost broken hearted. NOT!

Tongue in cheek?? You mean it isn't real?? Herar that Sir Terro............it isn't real !!! Now I'm heartbroken.
Why do you have to be so mistrusting Granny? I guess that has blown my chance of getting some money from you to help pay for my rare Mongolian fan tailed Gold Fish' open heart surgery? I only need to raise another $25,000. The op will cost $25,050 but I already have the $50 saved. I think he will die if you don't help. She is so cute and has these lovely eyes. Hate anyhting to happen to her because you didn't care and only think of yourself.

voracious adjective wanting or devouring great quantities of food : he had a voracious appetite. -having a very eager approach to an activity : his voracious reading of literature. DERIVATIVES voraciously adverb voraciousness noun voracity noun ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Latin vorax, vorac- (from vorare 'devour' ) + -ious .
veracity noun conformity to facts; accuracy : officials expressed doubts concerning the veracity of the story. -habitual truthfulness : voters should be concerned about his veracity and character.

There is a difference
Voracity is quite appropriate.

Here we are, in the middle of a dire financial Crisis and Rolly swallows a dictionary. What chance do we have Sir Terro? I have a deep concern for the future of my beloved Goldfish. Is it only you and I that are taking this seriously? UNFEELING NOMADS!!!
No Granny.........I didn't tell them my name. I didn't get them. My ISP provider has a great spam filter that nothing gets through so I actually downloaded them from the net on an anti-scam site. Quite interesting to read some of the letters that get sent out and how clever some of these people are. As you said , making a scam out of a scam......not bad!

I don't receive them since I changed my email address. I used to forward them to scam watch or the Dept of Consumers who investigate these things. It's amazing how they get hold of everyone's details. I've been receiving a few in the snail mail recently. I just don't know how they get my address. It's really a worry. I give them the attention they deserve - in the wheelie bin where I think they've really been. Scary really, to the practical, logical person like myself. Technology is a wonderful thing, but the gherkins out there abuse it to rip people off to get rich quick. The pattern of good and bad continues.

The method they use to get your details Granny, is very simple.
Anything you fill in with your name and address such as applications for credit cards, store cards, lottery tickets, raffle tickets etc etc (You get my drift). Are all databased by the companies and the lists are then sold to marketing companies and these lists then become very public. So all a scammer has to do is look at a list (who knows where they end up) and Viola!!
Most things you fill out now will say (in very fine print) that your information may be used for market research. You take that any way you want!
You have no idea who has your details and information. All your banking, phone, and credit etc. details are in India. This is all thanks to the big companies going off shore. There is nothing you can do about it because once you fill out their paperwork.....your information becomes their information and they will use it and on-sell it as they see fit to do. This is despite what they tell you about privacy......more like piracy!! Trying taking it to court!!
There was a big problem with the internet Facebook thing a couple of years ago. Somebody's info or pictures ended up where they shouldn't have been and they kicked up. The courts said that once you gave Facebook the info........it was theirs. End of story!!
Be careful what you fill out.............although it is already too late.

We more or less covered this subject a while ago in a thread to do with people knowing you are not home etc. Can't see any solution to the banking details but surely the banks are not allowed to openly sell our details? As for Facebook Mr Duck, I experience that every night. Usually just before I turn off the light which is just after the book has hit me in the face......

LOL Sir Terro................ Don't you hate it when the book volumes get thicker too. They started out as the thin Mills and Boon and you are now up to the Encyclopedia Britannicas. You really hope your wife's arm gets tired soon don't you??
I apologise as I was not aware that that subject had been covered previously. Why wasn't I told??

Terro, that's really too much info, but thanks for sharing...I think.
I remember something on here, but it's quite good to compare notes, and for the benefit of newbies. Scammers are around every corner and mega byte. That unfortunately is the way of the world at the moment. There is always someone out there who wants what someone else has, without earning it honestly.

I've heard telepathy has come a long way.....................
Yer I did try it a while ago with some Russian woman who wanted to marry me and have my kids, she lost interest when I told her she would have to cough up her own airfare but I would get her a good well paid position at the Mi Mi Club in Fyshwick. She said she could not work with Asian Women.... Oh well her loss.... The tricky bit would have been explaining why I kept driving to Fyshwick to SWMBO.....
Ducky because I have my tinfoil beanie on I'm impervious to telepathy.....
