Well here is a slightly new variation on the advance fee scam – this time the scammer is (allegedly) from Zimbabwe. We all remember the problems there in 2002 with the governments vs. the farmers right?
Now, after 2 years of mourning… making it 2004? Mrs Ncube is ready to cash in on her late husband’s fortune….
ATTN: Sir/ Madam
My name is Mrs. Rosemary Ncube and my sons name is Pascal Ncube. I
am a refugee from Zimbabwe presently residing in South Africa.
I am contacting you on behalf of the Ncube family with a
great sense of loss having just finished a customary two (2) year
period of mourning for my late husband, Mr. Gibson Ncube. Thank you
for your attention, I must apologize firstly for contacting you by this
medium because I had no other option. I am prepared to offer you a
substantial amount of money for you to assist my family in this
venture.
My late husband, Mr. Gibson Ncube was a very rich Zimbabwean farmer
who was murdered in his farm in the year 2002 by the War veterans who
took over his farm due to his position as Administrative secretary of
the Matabeleland Movement for Democratic Change(MDC), the main
opposition party in my country Zimbabwe kicking against the wicked acts
of Mr. Robert Mugabe, the incumbent prime minister against the White
farmers. As you may be aware, Prime Minister Robert Mugabe introduced
new land reforms, which was particularly not favourable for the rich
white farmers and few black farmers(my father inclusive). After his
death, I had to flee with my son and daughter to South Africa because
we were secretly informed of his plans to kill us.
Before his death, my husband had sold off his farming equipments and
was preparing to re-locate to neighbouring Botswana where he was
negotiating another expanse of land to set up another farm, but due to
the tip-off he had received about his farm being up for seizure, he had
diverted the proceeds of sale of his equipments and other monies to
tune of US$12,500,000 (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars)
into vault company in London. He also gave us the transaction codes for
the deposit and specifically instructed that we should contact a
foreigner who will take delivery of the deposit once we have given out
the transaction codes. As you may be aware, the law prohibits asylum
seekers from operating bank accounts or any involvement in financial
transactions of any kind. All I need is your trustworthiness to be able
to entrust the above said amount and help me with investment
opportunities.
I am contacting you with my only son- Pascal, who is 32 years old and
the next of kin to his fathers estate. I am gravely sick with Breast
Cancer and require your honest assistance as I am preparing to return
to Zimbabwe to continually seek medical treatment. This explains the
reason for my contact to you. Please do not be surprised at this
correspondence because my ill health has required me to seek your
services urgently because I do not know how much longer I can live.
If this correspondence touches your conscience, please feel free to
contact my son- Mr. Pascal Ncube on his email address:
pascalncube101@rediffmail.com providing your full names, telephone and fax
number. He is in a good position to give you further information
regarding the transaction as the next of kin. I am making arrangements
to travel to Zimbabwe anytime from now. The funds are not of illegal
origin, it is not being traced or investigated, it is not stolen money,
it is money that my husband made as a farmer and from selling his farm
properties and I assure you there is no risk involved for you. Your
assistance will guarantee you at least 40% of this money. Please do not
ignore this correspondence and treat with utmost confidentiality due to
the volume of money involved.
I await your urgent reply.
Sincerely yours,
Rosemary Ncube(Mrs).
Their email address is rediffmail – another free email account. I guess after Rosemary Ncube gets her cash she’ll be able to afford her own email address huh?
