chickenfeetWeirdness the first - I'm used, as I'm sure we all are, to getting Nigerian scam emails and variants from other parts of the world. Today, however, was the first time I got a genuine Mancunian scam email.
Hello
I am Edward Hunt Martin I am 14 years old I live in Manchester(UK) before my father died, now I live with my mother in Ireland. my father is from Manchester UK and my mother is from Ireland. My late father Mr. Hunt Martin has a big Real Estate company in Manchester before he died in a car accident last year July 25th 2005. he left £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds) in his account before he died. The £10Million is in (Union National Bank UK)
I have been trying to collect the money from (Union National Bank UK) but the MD CEO told me to go and look for some body that is honest and old enough to help me collect the £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds) I could have told my mother to assist me in collecting the £10Million but my mother and father where divorced before my father died and my father told me not to have anything to do with my mother, I don’t even want her to know about this because what my father told me before he died was correct, now that I stay with my mother in Ireland she doesn’t take care of me all she dose is to take hard drugs and to bring men to the house and she always hit me.
I don’t want to have anything to do with her, I just want some body that is old enough and honest to help me collect the £10Million from the bank as I am too young to take control of £10Million. Please I need your help, if you can assist me to collect the £10Million from the bank I will give you 30% and take 70%. I have all documents in my name you can confirm from the bank. I am indeed the Next of Kin to my late father Mr. Edward Hunt Martin.
The MD CEO (Union National Bank UK) told me to look for some body that is honest and old enough so that he can send the £10Million to the persons account as soon as possible..
If you can help me I will contact the MD CEO (Union National Bank UK) and tell him that I have found an honest person who is willing to help me collect the £10Million, so when you contact him he will know I sent you.
I will give you is contact so you can contact him to enable him send the £10Million to your provided account immediately Please help me. I will be waiting for your urgent reply so I can give you the contact of the bank and send you the last statement of account of my late father and I will also send you my picture and my birth certificate. Please help me reply back on this email: edward_h01@mail.md so I can send you all information’s you need.
Best Regards
Edward Hunt Martin
Weirdness the second - I made a quick trip to Loblaw's just after lunch to buy a few unexciting bits and pieces. As I usually do, I used the automated self service checkout. To my surprise, when I got home there was, in addition to my purchases, a kilo of cod fillets in one of my bags.
