Today I got another 419 (my third so far this week).  This one was a bit unique; this one actually claimed to be from an attorney for a relative of my husband. 

FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER CHARLES MOORE

Dear Schlenker,

I am Barrister Charles Moore, the personal attorney to Mr Adam Schlenker.

He was among the victim of the bomb explosion that took place on 27th
January 2002 lagos Nigeria. who is a national of your country, and an oil
consultant/contractor with via Nigerian Liquidfied Natural Gas(NLNG) my
client deposited the sum of US$7.9Million dollars(Seven million Nine Hundred
Dollars) with a SECURITY COMPANY. On maturity, after some months I couldn't
hear from my client again and finally I discovered from his contract
employee (Nigeria Liquidfied Natural Gas) indicating that my Client was
among the victim of the bomb explosion.

And it was clear that he died without making a will to any of his relation
with my office. All attempts has been made to see if I could get any of his
relation but all of no available.

This is total bullshit.  Try Googling Schlenker.  There are so many relatives to my husband out there, thousands of pages show up.

 I therefore decided to look for a
foreigner bearing the same name with my Client who will stand as his next of
kin to claim this fund. The total sum of US$7.9, is still with the SECURITY
COMPANY. No one will come and claim it except the next of kin to my
Client.And according to Nigerian banking law, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Nigerian Government. If the account owner is certified
death and no body comes forward to claim it.

This is the situation, and my plan is looking for a foreigner who will stand
in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you have to do is to
send me Your company name and address if any,Your telephone and fax numbers
which i will use to process and procure all the legal papers/documents that
backs you up as the true next of kin to my client and I will submit it to
the Finance house for proper Claim of the fund and we are going to share in
the ratio of 60% for me 40% for you.

There is no risk involved.Because i will use my position as attorney and
prepare all the legal documents/papers the SECURITY COMPANY may/would demand
from you for this transaction.If you are interested, please reply and be
rest assured that this transaction could be most profitable for both of us.

I am waiting for your quiet reply.

Respectfully,

Barrister Charles Moore.

Just another scumsucking scammer....

I hate seeing all the St. Valentine's Day ads on tv.  The most romantic and sweetest Valentine's Day gifts I ever received were as simple as a rose, bought by my husband on his way home from work.

His hours are hell, and I knew it.  We were (and are) broke, and I knew that.  He got me what he could, and I appreciated it more than a diamond ring or a fancy dinner.

I will admit my second favorite, in all of these years, was when he bought me a live lobster from the grocery store, butter, and a rose.  He couldn't stand to eat in a restaurant (since he works such long hours in restaurants), but he wanted me to have a lobster, my favorite food.

Of course, the poor guy is sort of stuck about this time of year; Valentine's Day, my birthday, and our anniversary all fall within a two week period of time.....but I still don't try to ask much of him, since he has to work so hard.  His hard work is his biggest gift of all, and he does that year round.

In West Virginia, a subcontractor for a pet crematorium dumped dead pets from shelters and animal control offices in several sites.  The pet crematorium has been coorperating with authorities to determine exactly what has happened.
