From: Miss. Marie Dagogo.
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
West Africa.
Dearest One,
My name is Marie from West Africa and I am 19 years old.
Please it is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I
intend to establish in your country requiring maximum trust and 100%
confident.
Although I have not known or met with you before but I believe that one
has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life. So, there
is this huge amount of money in the total amount of four million eight
hundred thousand euro (4,800,00.00 €) only which I inherited from my late
father in a bank here in Abidjan Cote d’ Ivoire before he was poisoned to
death by his business associates in collaboration with the family members.
My mother died when I was just a baby and since then my father took me so
special. Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in
Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me about the money
that he deposited in a banks here in Cote d’Ivoire using my name as his
only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the money. He further
explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by
his business associates in collaboration with family members out of wicked
and jealousness.
Now, due to the political instability in this country and my family
relatives are threatening my life because of my inheritance from my late
father; therefore, I have decieded to leave this country and invest this
money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security
purposes. I want you to help me to transfer this money into your country
for investment purposes on the followings below:
-Telecommunication Industries
-Real Estate Managements
-International Schools
-Five star hotels
As soon as I receive your urgent reply indicating your interest to assist
me to successfully transfer the money into your account, I will give you
all the necessary information you may require to proceed towards
transferring the money to your account. Finally, I am willing to offer you
15% of the total money as mode of compensation for your effort for
assisting me with this humble request. Please for my security reason,
reply me through my private email address at (mariedagogo450@gmail.com)
Thank you and God bless you.

1. Take caution when you open email attachments, if you don't know the sender, google search or internet search the sending email address first. You can also search for the title of the attachment, also key words found in the scam email like. Such as keywords like names of individuals, phone numbers, the scammers so called place of business, anything is valuable in a scam letter to help identify it
2. Respond to only email addresses you recognize. Contacts that you have used before, although infrequently can at times be hijacked, so take caution even if you know the sender
3. Never give out personal information. If asked for anything other than your name and email address, do not reply. This is a basic rule, if the ask for anything other than what you feel comfortable sharing, don't reply
4. Call before sending information, even if the email looks legit. The number should also be searched or googled before calling. Numbers with a +44 prefix are normally scam numbers. You can also have your service provider search the number as well.
5. Never give out bank account information or any form of identification numbers, Social Security Numbers, or Credit Card numbers. Don't fall for it, never give out a bank number or credit card number, unless your doing direct business with the bank itself, there should be no reason for anyone to ask you to place your numbers in any email
6. Western Union requests are typically fraudulent. A company should be able to use Credit Card services or PayPal Services. Never send money to anyone by wire for a purchase. Even money grams and bank cards are being used as bait, don't fall for these scams!
TIPS FROM THE FBI
Here are some tips you can use to avoid becoming a victim of cyber fraud or email scams:
Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.
Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.
Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders. Virus scan the attachments if possible.
Avoid filling out forms contained in e-mail messages that ask for personal information.
Always compare the link in the e-mail to the link you are actually directed to and determine if they actually match and will lead you to a legitimate site.
Log on directly to the official website for the business identified in the e-mail, instead of "linking" to it from an unsolicited e-mail. If the e-mail appears to be from your bank, credit card issuer, or other company you deal with frequently, your statements or official correspondence from the business will provide the proper contact information.
Contact the actual business that supposedly sent the e-mail to verify if the e-mail is genuine.
To receive the latest information about cyber scams, please go to the FBI website and sign up for e-mail alerts by clicking on one of the red envelopes. If you have received a scam e-mail, please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
If you are really fed up with the flood of scam emails entering your spam box or inbox, maybe it's time to start out new? If you do, here is the best way to do it. No matter what service you use, the number one ways to avoid the scams and spam is this.
Never sign up for anything where you address is going to be posted openly on a website.
Never sign a online Guest Book. This is how I deliberately get scam emails, I can start a fresh account, sign one guest book and get 20 scam emails in a few hours.
Never post you email in a forum or digest.
Never post your email in a service website, such as Newsvine, The Slate, or any other blog/news service.
Never send your email to a unknown person or company.
Follow these few simple guidelines and you should avoid the massive spams and scam emails. The more you think PRIVACY the less they will find your email address. It's really that simple.
