928mr2 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Here what i received from member matins500 thru the this forum, is this normal ? :Rating: 0View Member ProfileAdd as FriendSend MessageAdd to PM block listForward PMFind Member's TopicsFind Member's Posts My Dearest One,, Today, 01:13 PMGroup: New MembersPosts: 0Member No.: 6,417Joined: Today, 10:24 AM My Dearest One,With the hope that you are okay and doing fine, this message could be strange but real, if only you will pay some attention to it. I got your contact details on the internet. As you will know that the internet is the fastest and the easiest way of getting connected to the business world.My name is Matins Kuffour, I inherited the sum of USD$ 5,800,000.00 (Five Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from my late father, But l am faced with a problem. On the certificate of deposit which states me as the next of kin, my late father appended a clause stating that: I the next of kin, must attain the age of 35 years, before taking full control of the deposited fund in the security company; But, in the event of war or natural disasters (the security company should honour a release of the deposit which was kept as family valuables) from me which must be for the safety of the deposit; And in this case, I must have an investment manager, who will act as my guardian.I am not yet 35 years, but Ivory Coast is not a safe country at this time because of the war, and the political uprising that we face here everyday. I want the Security company to transfer the deposit out of Ivory Coast, but the security company is insisting that l fulfil the conditions put down by my late father while making the deposit.This is actually reason why l am looking for an investment manager. I would like you to be my investment manager. When you become my investment manager, l would instruct the security company to transfer the deposit to the country of my investment manager, so that you would be able to help me invest the money wisely.If you would be my investment manager, please write me as soon as possible. I am willing to give you 5% of the total money.I will be expecting to hear positively from you as soon as possible.Regards.Matins Kuffour.please contact me now with my email address Edited September 10, 2008 by 928mr2 Quote

IMSMRT Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 the site feedback section would be the better place to ask this type of question as the site admins do see that one right away... Quote

Albertaaw Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Must be that he is new and didn't realize it. Smart Center Bedford is located in Bedford, Ohio. Hopefully, he will figure out that he should post appropriately for such messages to reach the audience for which it is intended. ---- Alberta Quote
smartmom Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I sent the salesman from Ohio a pm with my above post included and suggested he would find our club a valuable resource if he posts appropriately. Quote
herbie Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 This reads like a scam mentionned on W5 and The Fifth estate a couple of weeks ago. Quote
