The "Nigerian spam" now has a New Zealand variation, from a "Mr. Raymond." How exciting, the country has really come of age. Whoever is sending these emails doesn't know that in New Zealand "Raymond Dobbs Keith" would be known as "Mr. Keith" and poeple would sometimes ask him if he was related to Ken Keith, the "world famous in New Zealand" judge.
Hello,My name is Raymond Dobbs Keith, a New Zealand citizen based in Europe. I am an International businessman who has made many supplies to United States and Canada.
I have a debtor, an investment company in Canada that owes me the sum of Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (USD$450,000). Sequel to our correspondence with the investor in Canada, they are ready to pay the money and they requested for a bank account in United States of America or Canada so they can transfer the funds to the account.
Meanwhile, I do not have an account in either USA or Canada and further explanation to have the funds transferred to my bank account in Europe has met a brick wall.Posted by robe0419 at April 19, 2005 11:50 AM | TrackBackSo I want them to transfer the money to your account in United States (if you have one) and upon conformation of the transfer, I will send you my private account so you can then transfer the money to me.
Sincerely, you are not going to face any risk in rendering assistance, spend any money or demand anything from you.
In rendering your assistance in this transaction, you will be entitled to 10% of any money transferred to your account while the balance of the money will be transferred to me.If you are interested in having my identity I will provide it as soon as you agree to assist.
What I need is your sincerity and just be honest with me.
Moreover, I will send you the contact details of the investor in Canada once you have accepted my offer. And I would let them know that you are receiving the money on my behalf.Thanks,
Raymond Keith.
I also received an email similar to this. Can anyone please tell me what he hopes to gain from this?
Posted by: Jetta Clinton at July 20, 2005 11:54 AMI have just received an email from this Raymond Keith Dobbs guy although this time its a bit twisted. its titled "Peace be with you". He says he's been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer and the last of his money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of "US$16.3M" that he lodged with a Security company in Europe.
bottomline is , he needs a God fearing and trustworthy person that will be able to collect this deposit from the security company and dispatched it to any noteable charity organizations, in redeeming his vow to God.
how impressive......
As I have never received a spam from this name before I went to google to carry out a search and i found this webpage and I was not surprised that he had other variants of his name and letters to scam people.
its only greedy people that will respond to such mail. Always ignore them.
