My Life With IT

I’m not sure what to make of this but it smells like what Felix had received before. I received this in my private message in Yebber. I thought something might be interesting and boy oh boy, I’m the trusted recipient to help some guy named Serge who is yet of age 24 to help him keep the money. Does this count as a hoax or spam or abuse?

Dear Friend,

I came to you because i saw your profile and contact in this site and believe that your names has planted you in the centre of relevance in my life.

Before I go further I will like to introduce myself to you. I am Serge Micheal Konan, 17 years of age, the only child of my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Arnaud Leonard Konan. My parents were Natives of Cote d’Ivoire before they migrated to the United States where I was born and we lived at No 215 West Wieuca Road Northeast Atlanta, Georgia USA and I attended the famous Frederick Douglass High School, 225 Hamilton E.Holmes Drive, N.W. Atlanta, GA 30318, Georgia USA, but when my mother fell sick and died June 2004, My father became weak every now and fall sick often, i believe it was the shock of my mum’s sudden death that deteriorated his health. He got retired from his office, Fidelity National Insurance Company at No 200 Galleria Parkway Southeast Atlanta GA 30339 USA October 2005.

Then December 2005 my father called me and told that he doesn’t want to die in a foreign land. That he has made so much money, he felt the best thing for him to do now is for us to relocate back to his home country of Cote d’Ivoire so that he can set up his own Insurance company and give job opportunities to his people and he also told me that he wanted me to learn about his people and their culture. On the 14 of December 2005 we returned back to Cote d’Ivoire, On our arrival, my Dad deposited all the money we came with that we want to use to set up the company in a security company as family valuables because according to him, he doesn’t want anybody to know anything about the money till he has settled and ready to use it, for the purpose of which he suffered to bring the money down home. Then after some time my dad started to look for properties to buy
to use for an office, in several occasions i went out with him to inspect for this purpose.

But unfortunately On the 6th of February 2006 My father died, but before his death he brought out all the documents he used in depositing the money with the security company, name and address of the security company i will also give you later, and gave them to me. So four months after the burial of my father, i approached the company and asked for the release of my deposit to me as the only child of Dr. and Mrs.Arnaud Leonard Konan but to my surprise the company refused my request. I have been to the company time without number and all they said was that the only way that they can release the deposit to me will be when i am 24yrs old or if i can find a guardian that will stand for me. Please i would like to ask for your help here, i want you to please accept my humble request that you stand as my guardian and i then introduce you to the company and you receive the deposit for me.

My situation here is so unbearable that i cant really wait to possess this money.

This is the true situation of things as it stands now. Please, take your time, go through this mail and let me know the best way you feel you can help me. On my email: smkonan225@yahoo.fr

Yours sincerely
Serge

Seriously though, I can’t see why on earth I am chosen to be the one to look after his money when he doesn’t even know me. And it’s been 2 years since his daddy passed away. Oh, I’m so touched that I’m the centre of relevance in his life.

Misleading advertisements don’t work very well. Proclaimed to get the chance to buy something after answering an SMS correct but in fact, it doesn’t work that way. You actually get charged for every SMS received. The thing is that you are automatically subscribed to an SMS per day unless you answer more SMS received that makes you the unsuspecting subscriber and still get more charges for each message received.

Screw Glomobi. When I didn’t reply, it means you don’t have to send me any more SMS but you did it so happily because I am charged for 5 unwanted SMS from you. Each SMS cost me $2. You have now earned $10 from me. The option to stop the SMS was only given today and not during the initial part. So that’s how you cheat people of their money, huh?

Every other SMS I have received from other companies always include the option to stop in each SMS and not only after 5 SMS from them. Glomobi, you are a big cheat. Nothing but a scam with misleading/fake advertisements to let people thing that one SMS will let them buy a product at a low price when it’s actually a draw.
