3/10 - Demurraged Modalities to Jane Momoh
Cher Mlle Jane,
My Uncle Paul sent me your message. He thought I might
be able to help you better than he could.
[I actually received this on another spoof account, and put this line in
just in case the guy actually checked his sent list.]
My name is Demurraged Modalities, and just like you, I am a
career woman to-be! Isn't that neat? I think it's
wonderful that your father wants you and your brother
Emmanuel to have a good education and a job. I think
alot of men don't want women to have jobs or important
positions, but I know we can do it! I consider you my
sister in the struggle for our liberation, Jane.
Let me tell you about myself. I was a student at
Montana State, but I didn't do too well. There was
just so much studying, and it got in the way of
parties, boyfriends, ecetera. So, I mean, I just had
to drop out because they wouldn'y give me good grades
for trying. Daddy gave me some money and said I should
travel and see the world, then come back and get
married. Ha! That's what he thinks! I went all over
Europe, and then found a place in Strasbourg, France.
Now I'm taking some classes at the Universite de
Strasbourg II, but they are really hard because
they're in French. Maybe you could help me, since you
are in Cote Divoire and I know they speak French
there. I'm also trying to get a job here and live on
my own, but for now I still need Daddy's checks every
month. Anyway, I think I can help you. There are a lot
of African immigrants here, and I could see about
getting Emmanuel into the school I'm in. I have a
friend who can help me with the financial things. My
Uncle Paul comes over to Europe four or five times a
year to do business, and he might be able to help you
invest your money.
Let me know how I can help you, Sister Jane. Men can't
be trusted, so it is up to us Sisters to make our way
in the world.
Toot al hure!,
Demurraged

Dear Mr. Tutu,
I am a foreign business partner with Dr. Fred Momoh,
who is recently deceased. I was recently contacted by
his two children, Jane and Emmanuel, to assist them
with recovering money Dr. Momoh has at your bank.
Please e-mail me at this address with details on how

Dear Princess Jane,
It's good to hear from you again. I was getting
worried after not hearing from you in a few days. I
hope everything is ok. I have a bank account here with
Credit Mutuel de Strasbourg, and I might be able to
open up a new account there. As far as investing the
money, I don't know that much about it. I will try to
find someone in the Admissions office of the
University and see what Emmanuel would need to do to
get into the University here. Hopefully I can find
someone who speaks English, since my French isn't that
good, and I get really stressed out. But I'll do what
I can to help you, my Sister.
As you asked, I have contacted Mr. Henry Tutu.

I don't have a phone number to give you. I live in a
small village outside of Strasbourg called Deibsheim
with a widow. I pay her rent, and cook and clean some.
I take a train into Strasbourg, or get a ride with
someone going to the city. I have to go to the
university to go on-line, and their computer lab isn't
open on weekends. So, you won't hear from me until
Monday, but don't you worry, because by then I may
have good news.
Stay strong, Sister Jane,

3/14 - Jane to Tutu
M. Tutu,
I am writing this in a hurry, as the Universite
computer lab is about to shut down for the week-end
(20.00h). As I explained to Jane, I will attempt to
open a new account with Credit Mutuel de Strasbourg,
and will send you this information when I get it. I
live outside of Strasbourg with a pensionner, and have
no access to a phone, so I cannot call you. Please
also explain the monetary units (CFA); I am not
familiar with them. Right now, all I have are Euros.
1.200.000,00 CFAs sounds like alot, and it may take me
time to assemble that amount.
Ms. Demurraged Modalities
3/14 - Demurraged to Jane Momoh
My dearest friend Jane,
I just received word from Mr. Tutu at the bank, and he
does sound very official. I tried to sound official,
too, for your sake. I must write this in a hurry, as
the Universite computer center closes at 20.00h for
the week-end. Mr. Tutu wants more than a million CFAs,
and I don't know what they are. Can you tell me,
please. Also, he asked me to call him as soon as I got
his mail, but I told him, like I told yuou that I
don't have access to a phone where I live. Perhaps you
could call him and explain my dilemma. He also wants a
copy of my passport or other photo ID. I'm not sure
this is a good idea - I mean, I've been told not to
give that kind of information away. I'm not really
sure what to do - I don't want to let you down, but I
also am starting to feel a little uncomfortable with
the information Mr. Tut ut wants. Please advse me.
Your Sister,
Demurraged

the funds
will be transferred into your account.It will be good if the funds are
transferred on or
before next week Wednesday.
If you have an existing account,use it to transfer the funds,instead of
opening another
account to avoid delay because of our conditions here.
There is no harm in sending to the bank copy of your international passport
but if you
don't want to send it,give him your full name and t he passport number.
You should treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality until the
funds are
transferred into your account.You should try to call MR HENRY TUTU,whenever

lunch, and I will check again. As soon as I have the
account information, I will pass it on.

3/19 - Demurraged to Jane
Dearest Jane,
I'm sorry I didn't write yesterday. The SNCF was
on strike until 8:00am today, and I couldn't come in
yesterday. I barely got home Monday night, as the
strike started at 8:00pm. I went to the bank this
morning, but Daddy's money hadn't arrived yet. I'm
going back to check as soon as I finish writing this.
I know you want to get into Togo, and I'm working on
it as fast as I can.
As far as Emmanuel's education, money isn't a
problem. The government pays most of the tuition, and
the student ends up paying very little. It's a
wonderful system, but you have to declare a major when
you enter.
By the way, I forgot to send Mr. Tutu my address.
Could you give it to him for me? It's:
8, rue des Cigognes
F-67305 Deibsheim.
[cigognes are storks in French,and they are common to Alsace and a symbol of
the Province]
3/19 - Demurraged to Jane again
Oh, Jane, I'm so worried about the war in Iraq.
We shouldn't be there, and the French are really upset
with us Americans. I try to speak only French now and
stay out of sight when I can. I'm so afraid and scared
and alone here. The French are really nice people once
you get to know them, but they don't support us. They
did say yesterday that if Iraq used chemical or germ
weapons, they would be right there for us, but not
now. If women were in charge, things would be so much
better. No wars, or crimes, or deceit.
Take care, and stay safe, my Sister.

[On my log-in screen, I saw where the French national railroad was on a 24

Mr. Tutu,
I received a wire transfer, and set up an account at:

31 rue Jean Wenger Valentin

the moment. I was expecting a larger transfer. I will
be arranging another wire to arrive at the end of this
week. I intend to have EUR 2500 available for our
transaction.

[The bank is real, as is the address. However, the account number is
spoofed.]
3/19, later - Demurraged to Jane
Dear Jane,
I received money from Daddy today, but he only
sent me EUR 2000. 1000 is the minimum I'll need for
rent and food, but I opened an account and put EUR 500
in. I will ask my Uncle Paul for another EUR 2000, and
I think I'll have it by Friday. I'm really sorry about
this. Daddy usually sends me at least EUR 2000 a
month, but we had a "discussion" (a fight, really) on
the phone about how much I was spending. Just wait
till he sees how much I'll get after I help you and
Emmanuel!
Stay strong and safe.

[Ooops, I meant to say EUR 2500. I hope he doesn’t think too much about the
error. I’m stalling, waiting for the Iraq war to start, as it is key to my

My belove sister,
Your two mails have been received,thanks for the information contained
therein.
No doubt you are meeting up with your school assignments.
I will send to MR TUTU the address.It will be very good if you send the
money to him on Friday or Saturday this week for the account reactivation
and onward transfer of the
funds.
It is good to surprise people,your daddy does not know that you will be a
millionaire soon
and when this is accomplished he will know that you are hard working.So
please plead
with your uncle to raise the money because that is the only thing that is
hindering the
transfer.
War is a terrible situation,we should not pray for it and refrain from
anything that will
lead to war.This is the reason we are stranded inspite of the money our late
father
deposited in the bank.Take care and remain blessed while hoping to hear from
you as
soon as you send the money to the bank for the reactivation of the account.
Emmanuel is very fond of you and extends his greetings.

It is a surprise to hear that you have not heard from me for a day.
I sent a mail to you in the morning today.There is serious problem in Ivory
Coast but we
are safe although we are still contemplating of travelling to LOME-TOGO a
more peaceful
country.
Concering the money,please as soon as your uncle wire it into your
account,try to send
to MR HENRY TUTU,the bank manager in LOME-TOGO,the 1,200,000cfa which you
said
is 2000 EUROS Dollar equivalent.I know MR TUTU will transfer the funds
immediately
once he received the money for the reactivation of the account.
Emmanuel is eager to see you face to face and he extends his regards to you.
Keep fit ,remain blessed while looking forward to your response.

today. I will make arrangements on Monday for the
transfer by Western Union. I believe I have all of the

3/21 - Demurraged to Jane
My dear Sister Jane,
Wonderful news, in the middle of alot of terrible
news about the war. My Uncle Paul sent me money today,
and it arrived at the bank a little while ago. It came
too late for me to transfer today, so it will have to
wait until I come back on Monday. I'm sorry about the
delay again, but it is hard to come into town on the
week-end, and this computer cluster closes in 15
minutes for the week-end. My Uncle also said that if I
needed more money, it wasn't a problem. Sometimes I
wish he were my father. He treats me like I'm a
grownup and have some brains.
Anyway, there have been protests here, and alot
of gendarmes around because of the European Parliament
buildings. I have been staying out of sight and out of
the way. The French are very angry with Americans
right now, and it's hard for me to get around. But
don't you worry. I promised to help you, and I will
next week.
Take care, and stay safe.

[Time for the end-game]
Mr. Tutu,
I have run into a problem getting the money to you. I went to the Western
Union office here, and they said that money transfers to the Middle East and
Africa have been suspended due to the war in Iraq. This is on order of the
French Government. I was told that bank-to-bank electronic transfers are
still available. I then went immediately to my bank, and they confirmed
this. However, they said that the government may also block bank-to-bank
transfers within 48 hours. If you can send me your bank information (Bank
name, address and account number), I will transfer the money to you
immediately.

My dearest Sister Jane,
I went to the Western Union office this morning to transfer the EUR
2000 to Mr. Tutu, but they told me that all transfers out of France to the
Middle East and Africa have been blocked by the government. I was pretty
upset when they told me that, but they said that banks can still transfer
money electronically. So I ran to my bank just around the corner, and they
said they could transfer the money to you. All I need is the bank name,
address, and account number. But we have to hurry, because they said that
the government may shut down electronic transfers in two days. All of this
is because of the war in Iraq, and they said something about security
against terrorists.
Oh, Jane, I am just sick about this! We are so close, and I may not be
able to get the money to you, unless you get the information to me fast.
Alot of changes have been going on since the war started, and I am scared
and confused by what is going on in the city. I don't even talk to my
classmates anymore, because I am tired of hearing about how America should
not be in Iraq.
Stay safe, my Sister.

My dear Amy,
Infact the information you related to me concerning the wire transfer by
western union
is shocking and confusing.Please kindy pass the information to MR HENRY TUTU
and see
if there will be an alternative way to send the money.I want the transfer to
be finalized
this week and I will not like this to delay the transfer.
In time of war like this, refrain from discussions about the
situation,otherwise it will
disturb your mind all the time.Bye while waiting to hear from you after
contacting MR
TUTU.
Yours belove sister,
Jane Momoh

Mr. Tutu,
I cannot stress enough to you the importance of your bank information. I
have the money, and I am ready to transfer it, but I cannot transfer it by
Western Union for reasons beyond my control. Your insistance on using
Western Union after I have informed you that it has been blocked by the
French Government serves no purpose, and endangers the transaction that we
have both worked hard on. Please send me your bank name, address and account
number immediately. We have less than 24 hours before wire transfers will be
blocked as well. We have come too far to let this fall apart, and I have
made a promis to Jane and Emmanuel that I would help them.

I told you to pay the money via MONEYGRAM which is
different from western union money transfer.
I have given the account which you will use topay the
money to your partner JANE MOMOH.Here is the account

fake bank and a pretty odd and unbelievable account number…]
3/25 - Demurraged to Jane
My dear Sister Jane,
I really don't know what to do at this point. Mr. Tutu wrote back to
me, asking me to send the money by Western Union. It's like he didn't even
read my message about the wire transfers being blocked. I sent him a message
back, and I was pretty upset. I hope I didn't make him angry, but I can only
send money to you by electronic transfer from my bank. Please, my dearest
sister, you have to call him and make him see that he can trust me. You've
been through a war, and you've been a stranger in another country. You know
that I am having a hard time getting things done, because I'm an American in
France and America is in a war with Iraq and France thinks America is wrong.
If Mr. Tutu doesn't send me the bank information in 24 hours, I won't be
able to send you the money. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. All that
money for me gone, and you and Emmanuel won't be able to cross over to Togo.
Please help me get through to Mr. Tutu.
Your Sister,
Demurraged

[…so I lower the boom.]
Dear John, Jane, Emmanuel, Henry, whoever you are,
With the very first letter from you, I knew that neither you nor the money
was real. You have probably stolen money by fraud from others, but this time
the mugu chose you to scam. I posted my e-mail address on a guestbook
frequented by guymen, and within 6 hours, I had a lettre from "Jane." I
fished, caught you, and reeled you in. Who do you think the mugu is? My name
is not Amy, I am not female, I do not live in France, and my Euros are as
real as the money in your bank account. Every word of our exchange of e-mail
will soon be posted to a web site for all the world to see. There are
hundreds of us worldwide who fish for escrocs like you, just waiting for you
to bite, and our numbers are increasing daily. Soon, it will be harder and
harder for you to find a victim, and you will run into more and more of us
who will take you for a ride. That is the beauty of the Internet: that
information travels quickly.
You have been warned.
