Strange Private Message...did anyone else get one??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

*GoodMorningCalgary* · 01-22-2005, 10:01 PM

when I came online today I had a Private Message from a member named Villaran. In it, it said this...

I read your profile and i am interested in you.
My email address is: (villaran_01@yahoo.com)

I am Mrs Villaran Nenita from Philippines, widow to
the late former minister of finance in Philippine who
died on 15th of May 2002. I inherited a total sum of
$12.Million American dollars from my late husband, the
money was concealed in a metallic trunk box and was
deposited with a security and finance company in
Abidjan Cote DIvoire, that was because I needed a
maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body
nor government organization can trace the where about
of the money until I am ready and prepare to claim it.
but the Secuerity company didn't know the real content
of the box, because it was deposited as a family
valuables.

My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of
the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give
you this priority of shipping the box of
money to any address that you think is very secure and
save in your country for onward lodgement your account
for the purpose of future investment with your
percentage of which we shall chat on soon.

I will send you the Authorization Certificate to call
them in my next mail which is the Certificate of
deposit that they gave me on the very day when the box
of money was deposited under their company.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I
look forward to hear from you soon.
Address your response to my Private email address
(villaran_01@yahoo.com) for quick conclusion of this
business.
All the best,

Madam Villaran Nenita

I hope this is a Scam, cause if it isn't.... I'm a little scared here. did anyone else get one of these?
