UNEXPECTED E.MAIL

MEC176 · 2009-06-21T15:45:47+0100

Hello, I joined a few weeks ago regarding help on camera matters (Macro)which I am still trying to sort out, many thanks for all your advice, today I have a strange e.mail via www.pentaxuse.com, see attached FROM MISS ROSELINE KOMO WILLIAMS RUE 22, PEACE AVENUE ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE. EMAIL: r222w@live.fr DEAREST ONE, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO CONTACT YOU FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE WHICH I INTEND TO ESTABLISH IN YOUR COUNTRY, THOUGH I HAVE NOT MET WITH YOU BEFORE BUT I BELIEVE ONE HAS TO RISK, CONFIDING IN SOMEONE TO SUCCEED SOMETIMES IN LIFE. THERE IS THIS HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY, TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS (10,5000,000,00) WHICH MY LATE FATHER MR KOMO WILLIAMS DEPOSITED IN A FINANCE HOUSE HERE IN COTE D'IVOIRE BEFORE HE WAS ASSASSINATED BY UNKNOWN PERSONS. BEING HIS ONLY CHILD AND DAUGHTER, HE USED MY NAME AS THE NEXT OF KIN. NOW DUE TO INTENSE POLITICAL CRISIS IN MY COUNTRY AND TO ESCAPE BEING TRAPPED BY THE ASSASINS WHO KILLED MY FATHER, I HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THIS MONEY OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND TO INVEST IT IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ANYWHERE SAFE ENOUGH FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. I WANT YOU TO HELP ME TO TRANSFER THIS FUND FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ON THE FOLOWINGS BELOW: 1) TELECOMMUNICATIONS 2) INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL 3) FIVE STAR HOTEL OR ANY OTHER PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. IF YOU CAN BE OF AN ASSISTANCE TO ME, I WILL BE PLEASED TO OFFER TO YOU 20% OF THE TOTAL FUND. REPLY THROUGH: r222w@live.fr Obviously it's a scam and I have no intentions of replying I just wondered if any one else has had this via the Pentax site and has some one got our e.mail details via Pentax.

Thanks for the infor MEC176, but it has been dealt with. I've removed your original post because by including the offending e-mail text you have effectively re-published it, along with her contact details!

If it happens again, a PM will suffice to alert us.
