Compassion-that’s a word scammers thrive on. The thought of an unknown stranger dying in a hospital is enough to thaw the iciest of hearts. But when the bait is an orphan being left behind with a huge inheritance, there must be something unbelievable about the story or you are greedy enough not to notice.

Here’s an amazing tale from a so called ‘Felicia Luna’:

(The ailing stranger)

“Dear Beloved One,

This is Miss Felicia Luna from Trinidad & Tobago. I am writing from the hospital in  Ivory Coast , therefore this mail is very urgent, as you can see that I am dying in the hospital. I was told by the doctor that i was poisoned and has got my liver damaged and can only live for some months.

(The temptation)

I inherited some money ($3.5 Million) from my late father and i cannot think of anybody trying to kill me apart from my step mother in order to inherit the money, she is an Ivorian by nationality.

(The bait)

I have a little orphan child called who has been with me, named Martins Henry, my step mother and her children are after him and because of that he ran far away where he is hiding now, so I want you to help him out of this country with the money

I want you to contact Martins with this information below:

Orphan  Martins Henry.

Address: Rue De La Princess L/G 152 , Cocody ,

Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.

Email: martinshenry1996@yahoo.co.jp

He will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to a well known lawyer that I have appointed, the lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you.

This is the favour I need when you have gotten the money :

* Give 20% of the money to Martins as he has been there for me throughout my illness and I have promised to support him in life. I want you to take him along with you to your country and establish him as your son.

* Give 30% of the money to handicap people and charity organization. Note; This should be a code between you and Martins in this transaction “Hospital” any mail from him, the barrister he will direct you to, without this code “Hospital” is not fro m the barrister, Martins, the bank or myself as I don’t know what will happen to me in the next few hours.

* The lawyer’s name is Mc Lambert Adams. And Let Martins send you his International Passport as he has no passport to be sure of who you are dealing with. Martins is so little, therefore guide him.

And if I don’t hear from you, I will look for another person or an organization.”

This email is a scam. It would be for your good if this person gets another person or organization!
