Ainda há quem vá nisto

Nos últimos tempos, recebemos aqui no blog uma espécie de correio a oscilar entre o spam e o apelo à ilegalidade pura e dura. Há um par de semanas era um apelo de um soldado no Iraque a braços com a necessidade de transferir dinheiro confiscado às forças do Saddam.
Agora é um tipo que se diz da Libéria e a viver num campo de refugiados do Benim. Isto é o que faz a internacionalização do AVP e a profunda credibilidade dos seus editores que já conseguem atrair a confiança de tipos a milhares de Km.
Ora leiam lá e digam se não é um belo canto da sereia a roçar a obra-prima (está em inglês, porque não houve paciência para traduzir):

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am JACKSON AGURU, an ex-military personel from Liberia (west africa), currently living in a refugee camp in Rep du Benin as a result of war that happened in my country Liberia that claimed the lifes of my entire family and two of my colleagues that worked together with me in the mining company i worked.

Before the advent of the war,we made 12million U.S Dollars from sales of Gold and Diamond.

This money was packaged in trunk boxes and lodged in a security company in Cotonou Rep du Benin (west africa),and i declared the content inside to be Gold bars.

Now, the security company believes that what I deposited with them was Gold Bars.

In my search for kind and honest person, I then came across your contact on the Internet as I was browsing in the refugee camp.I therefore decided to seek your immediate and kind assistance to help me out from this predicament as long i am still in the refuge camp i am ''handicap'' ie, i have nothing with me right now as it was a Rep du Benin plane that enlifted us from Liberia in the course of the tough war that has been on for about 13years.

I therefore need your assistance to help claim the funds on my behalf. I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the trunk boxes that contained the funds, that someone will be coming to claim the trunk boxes on my behalf; of which they accepted. If you are ready to help me out from this problem, You will be highly compensated if you can render this service. We shall discuss this later. I trust in the faith of establishing a rewarding and good relationship between yourself and myself and please, bear in mind that my lives depend on this fund and i do hope that this money will be safe when finally transferred/moved into your account/country.

You should also forward to me your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

Finally, you are requested to maintain absolute secrecy of this deal till we achieve success and it is 100% risk freeYour prompt response will be highly appreciated.Thanks for your co-operation,

JACKSON AGURU
