Recently I have been getting this spammer on my site who creates fishy accounts and sends messages to other members. I was tired of deleting each and every account therefore I decided to investigate further. I emailed this person back. And this is the response I got- -------------------------------------------------------- Compliment of the day, My Name is Mrs. Susana Nuhan Vaye from Liberia, a Country in West Africa. I picked interest on you after glancing through your short profile, I deemed it necessary to disclose this important issue to you. My Late Husband is Isaac Nuhan Vaye, Deputy Minister of Public Works in Liberia. My Husband was falsely accused of plotting to remove the then PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA CHARLES TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles Taylor killed him. I don't know what extent you are familiar with events and fragile political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins. You can verify this from some of the international newspapers posted in the web sites below: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm Since the death of my late husband, the Government has frozen all his access and accused him of the roll he played under the regime of Charles Taylor that he looted from the Government Treasury and I have been confined only to our country home and all my movements are been monitored. Base on this punishment inflected on my fatherless son and me, we have no other hope of surviving this unwanted situation hence I decided to contact you for assistance. I am therefore contacting you to assist me in channeling $7.2 million dollars belonging to my late husband into a productive investment venture and I look to make this investment discreetly under discretionary asset management arrangement. Please, I will appreciate your response to enable me furnish you with more details of this fund, once I hear from you I'll send you my pictures. Best Regards.

Yours Mrs. Susana Nuhan(Widow) ---------------------------------------- Now since this person is not trying to promote any website or working for any company online where shall I report it to make it stop? I have already wasted 2 hours deleting fake profiles.
And there is not one. There is a whole group which operates together. Got some more emails. ------------------------------ Dearest Peter Patterson. Really am very appreciative of your rapid response to my mail requesting for your assistance to securing the release and transfer of my inherited funds into your nominated account and to have me come over to your country to continue and complete my education. I may not express how happy I am at your acceptance to assisting me with this transaction.More willing to offer you 20% out of the total sum also 5% for the expensive that might arise during this time of the transfer.and more 5% for the experts that is going to assist us invest the fund in a real astate, Quite frankly, I know it may have sounded pretty strange for you on why I chose to contact you who is a complete stranger to me and I must tell you this, I contacted you for the simple reason that we do not know each other. It would be very difficult for me to contact anybody here who knows me for this purpose as I may stand the risk and chance of being cheated of my money because the person would have known my weaknesses. I may even lose my life on the long run but this is an exact opposite on contacting a complete stranger. I have always known that it would be very difficult if not totally impossible for someone who does not know me to try to hurt me over my inheritance hence, I contacted you. I believed in my heart that you will not fail me nor try to do anything funny and your mail to me now has reconfirmed what I had believed earlier. This is in addition to the fact that my father advised me in his dying bed to ensure that I had a foreigner assist me with this venture instead of having any of our local people do it for me. I guess he knows pretty well the ways of life of our people and didn't want me to go through the agonies he faced while having our local people as his business partners. You see the fact remains that the amount in question is my inheritance from my late father. Like I did explain in my earlier email to you; my Dad deposited the fund with a bank here in Cote d'Ivoire where I am still staying and writing you from now; with the utmost intentions of having it transferred overseas for investment but was killed by his associates primarily because of jealousy. They felt he was going to use his wealth to monopolise their business hence got him poisoned. Cote d'Ivoire is the world's largest producers and exporters of cocoa and coffee and it's a very lucrative business here. However, during the time of the fund's deposit, my father had a documented agreement with the bank that in the event of an uncertainty(death) I should not be allowed to have a direct access to the fund,in the same agreement, it stated that in the event that I want to have access to the funds, I must have a guardian/partner who must be of a foreign origin. This is why I have decided to have you assist me with the purpose of securing the release and transfer of the fund into your nominated account and to have me come over to your country to continue with my studies which is of importance to me at this time while the funds are being properly and legitimately invested. I want to assure and reassure you that my request is legitimate and 100% legal and hitch-free. I would not want to have anything to do with illegality hence, I would want us to follow the process of getting the fund transferred legally as may be stipulated by the bank. What I would do after I have sent out this letter to you is to contact the bank here and do let them know about you and introduce you as my appointed guardian/partner who would be receiving my inherited funds on my behalf. This will ultimately enable the bank to give you adequate attention when you contact them. Therefore you will have to contact the bank, informing them that you are my guardian/partner and by virtue of your position, you would request that my inherited fund be released and transferred into your nominated account so that you would have me come over to your country to continue with my education. THE BANK CONTACT AND THE ADDRESS: BOA - CI BANK OF AFRICA - Côte d'Ivoire 11 Av.

There is this group and they all operate from africa. I think they do not have any cyber laws in that country.
Can someone direct me to a site where you can report this sort of crime? This is really serious as it's adding bad reputation to my site.
