Hilarious Qadaffi E-mail

Those who come by here regularly know that I have a niece who is not only a professor of Arabic culture and studies, but is also beautiful and funny and adventerous. I had no idea she was so well connected, LOL. Thank you, Little Diamond, for contributing this wonderful scam e-mail to the HT&E collection. Read and weep!

My name is Saif Al Islam Gaddafi, the son of the present president of Libya. I am contacting you for an urgent assistance.

As you can read and see in the media, my family is presently undergoing tough time in the hand of the masses due to his long stay in power as the president of Libya for over 40 years now. Although there is no way you can satisfy human being, my father has done so many things to better the life of our people unfortunately they never appreciated his effort instead it resulted in calling my family bad names.

The International community has reached a resolution for immediate seizure of our assets both in US and the UK which the have already done and many other sanctions but it can’t affect our financial statue in the world. But as you can not predict tomorrow the say that is while I decided to reach you for this assistant hoping it will be top secret and you should avoid the media

I want to request your humble assistance to receive a total sum of €22m.
I will not give you details of the fund now because of security reasons but just have in mind that the fund exit in one of the African countries.

You will receive this fund directly and keep it safe or invest it in any business of yours till this saga is over then I will get back to you on how the fund or profit will be shared. By the special grace of Allah nothing will happen to me.

If you are ready and will keep it top secret and avoid the media contact this email address (aarifqasif@hotmail.com ) the details of where the fund exit and how it will be transferred will be made known t

I know you may have little fear on you but it is risk free.

I know you will be in hurry to reply me but due to what my family is facing now and security reasons I will not be responding ! ! ! ! ! ! !.
All you need to do is to contact my representative with the email given to you and tell him that you received an email from Saif Al Islam Gaddafi and that you are willing to receive the fund.

Assalamu ‘alaikum
Saif Al Islam Gaddafi

Little Diamond, that’s the best laugh I’ve had all day. πŸ˜€

  4. I can’t help wondering how does this scam work? Suppose someone fell for it and sent them his account info , how can they rob him of his money while they are in a different country ? It has always puzzled me !

  5. Safe travels, Little Diamond, off on another adventure. πŸ™‚

    Susu, from what I read, you think you are all set to go when suddenly, there is an ‘unexpected’ bribe that needs to be paid, or a fee, or something where they need just a little from you, and once you give that, something else comes, like the need for a deposit to prove your good faith, or a courier fee for the person bringing the funds, etc . . . People have given away their life savings, believing they are going to get rich quick. Very sad.

  6. In some scams they will ask you for your account number in order to transfer the money to your account . Also they will ask you for a signed blank personal or company letter head for bank formalities .

    Of course they will type in the papers what they need namely to close the bank account and transfer all the funds to another bank account (theirs) . It is that simple ,and people still fall for it .

  7. Thank you, Daggero, I didn’t know about that part of it. I have watched a couple programs on TV where they scammed the scammers, which I always love, but these scammers tended to be the kind that drew it out, a few hundred here, a good-faith-deposit there, etc.

    It is so scary to me, the way your bank account could be emptied and you might never know about it – until it’s too late. And some of the phone calls we get, even just solicitations, are SO cleverly worded that you think that there is something wrong with your account, and they ask for details – if you were trusting, you could really get taken, and many are. Thanks for your input.
