Next day,I got the email from DHL Nigeria(dhlpackagingservice.courier@yahoo.co.uk)

Hi
The package arrived in my office few hours ago and i'm about leaving for home.
Well,to be sincere with you,we have been contacted by the british high commision about releasing it but in your mail you didn't make mention of the 600 pounds you're going to send for it.

The period in which your fund which you've made out for the package has expired.Due to consideration,we gave you 2 weeks instead of 1 week to get the documents you were asked to get for your package to leave
I am a woman and i'm so concerned about it,but i also have someone thats heading me,if the fund is not made out,we won't be giving out a receipt and if there is no receipt,it will be stopped again.

Pardon me.What i am actually saying is that your fund has expired so all you have to do is pay for a clearance fee for the package to leave,but when it gets to your location,you will be paying the sum of 300 pounds but the clearance fee is 600 pounds.

Let me know what to do
Barbara Wallace

Next day,a email continue:

Hi
I know every of your details and as far as i am concerned,i feel so terrific about what has happened to your package.I am the exectutive manager of this company and i cannot sit right here in my office and start sending mails to intimidate people's life.

The fund you will making out is a clearance fee.Its suppose to be more than that because your label has already expired,but clearance simply means you have sent us a complaint and the head office has accepted your complaint,thats why i said you should make out the 600 pounds.I am the one that will composec the complaint letter for you and scan it to the head office.

The 300 piounds is the amount you will pay the DHL in china because they will call you that your package has arrived and they will ask you if they should send bring it over to your house or you will come over to their office to pick it up.
You will be making the fund out to thesame name (Yemi Taiwo) and scan the receipt across to my mail box.

I am here to help you and not to intimidate you

Have a nice day
Wallace

They need money again! she said if I didn¡¯t pay the fee to them ,they won¡¯t send my package to me.when I told the information to James,he tried to comfort me,encourage me,and expressed his love to me,I was captived by his words.because I really want to had the job and I wanted to go abroad as soon as possible . I had paid a lot of money,I have a lot of owe lists need to pay back to my family and friends. I had not any other ways to borrow money again, Finaly I could only use my parents¡¯ old flat to hypothecate to get the money ,I promised my parents I would get back the money in two monthes.poor two old people help me,maybe they believe I would mad if I couln¡¯t get the money. I sent 900 pounds to Yemi Taiwo as usual by western union,and gave Wallace the receipt.i thought all these would over! I was exhaust about it.

After 2 days,I didn¡¯t get my package and any eamil from anyone,I wrote to James and Wallace,no any respond.and I have never seen James online in yahoo messenger .i know what was happened ! I wrote to lundon police and efcc Nigeria,no respond too! I hate myself,I hate all these scammers ,but what could I do!No one help me! I didn¡¯t want to alive,if it was not my old parents cry and beg me not to do like that,I was dead now. those scammers still go on their action without any risk , the victims didn¡¯t get any help ,I would like to know who I can ask help for? What a law to those scammer! Who can tell me?

Now,it will be a lesson to everyone,that scammers are just around the corner.Be conscious and pray for it.Dont be blinded with all the good offers,if the employer is really interested in your service,they will not ask you to pay even a penny in your pocket.It's thier obligation to pay everything you needed in processing documents.

I WAS SHOCKED TO READ YOUR STORY AND YOUR BAD EXPERIENCED WITH A CERTAIN DR. JAMES PERCHANT. I ETERNALLY THANKED MY GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS DIVINE INTERVENTION IN MY LIFE. IF IT WEREN'T ABOUT YOUR STORY, I MIGHT BE THE NEXT VICTIM. YES, I WAS PRAYING TO THE LORD BEFORE I MADE ANY DECISIONS TO ACCEPT MR. PERCHANT'S VERY TEMPTING JOB OFFER. NOW I KNOW WHY THE LORD JUST PUT IN MY HEART TO SEARCH ABOUT THIS MAN IN THE INTERNET BEFORE COMMITTING TO HIM. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO READ YOUR STORY. TRULY, MY GOD IS AN ALL-KNOWING GOD WHO KNOWS THE HEARTS OF MEN. AND AS HIS CHILD, THE LORD DOESN'T WANT ME TO BE FOOLED.

KINDLY READ THE MESSAGES BELOW IF IT READ FAMILIAR TO YOU.

Hello Mr. Leonard! Are you hiring only one Nanny for your children? I have an aunt, she is 47, single parent (her son is 23 years old) and is the one taking care of my kids (since birth,now 4 and 5 years old). Since I already stopped from my work, I am willing to let her work in UK. We are currently living here in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. If you are interested to hire her, you may email Venus (her name) at +++++@yahoo.com. Thank you.

HIs reply:
Thanks for your mail. Let me explain to you better. This job is still available but there is only one thing i want you to know and if you can meet with the requirements then you will be qualify for the job. My advice to you is that you should be involved in the expenses to reach here in United Kingdom and i shall be responsible for refund for every expenses made by you immediately you get here. Why I said so is that i have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months which they did not come to my home but went to somewhere else and that is why I vowed that any Nannies that i will employ,will be involved in all the expenses,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies and you are ready to work with my family here in UK because I don't want someone who don't care about kids because i cherish my kids allot. The amount involve is 950 pounds. I am ready to shoulder 650 pounds and u will shoulder the 300 pounds. If you can do this then let me know so that i can introduce you to the travel agency that will process your travel documents and Visa. It is very important that you send to me you resume (CV) for my record.

Here's the site of tracking down IP address

Anyway, I tracked Abraham Snuss' email and I got the IP address. He really is in Nigeria.

Lesson learned. Everytime we get an email from someone we don't know and the content of the email seems too good to be true we should check the net first and see if this person's name or email addy has already been involved in scam issues.
