The Life of Matt Campos

Who falls for this stuff? Anyway, buyer beware, this is a fraud.

Hello

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met.  I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you  read
this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone
will die someday.

My name is  SALAM JAFER, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I  have been
diagnosed with prostate and  esophageal Cancer that was discovered  very
late  due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has  defiled  all
form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few WEEKS to live  according to medical  experts.I have
not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really  cared for
anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never  generous, I was always
hostile to people and only focus on my  business as that  was the only
thing I
cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know  that  there is more
to life than just wanting to  have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I
would live my life a different way from
how I have lived it. Now that I know my  time is near, I have willed and
given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended
family members
and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have
decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one
of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money
to some  charity organizations in the U.A.E,

London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members  of my family to
close one of my accounts
and donate the money, which I have  there to charity organization in
Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to  themselves. Hence, I do
not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for
them. The last of my money which is the  huge cash deposit that I have
with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations
and let  them know that it is I SALAM JAFER  that is making this
generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I
wait for my  time to come. I pray that God  uses you to support and
assist me with good heart

God be with you.
MR. SALAM JAFER

Got a new phishing email in today, which was not caught by Google spam. Claims I won an “Microsoft Lottery” in the Netherlands? Now don’t get me wrong, I am American, I live in Florida….Microsoft is based out of Redmond, Washington. Why would a lottery done by Microsoft be paying on a bank in the Netherlands? Just me but come on, so I did a little research on this and it appears people are sending THOUSANDS of dollars via western union to try and claim their prize. COME ON PEOPLE!? A bank is telling you they need funds from you to wire the funds? HELLO, if they charge a fee they take it OUT of the money they are sending you. I did report the email as a phishing email to gmail, Anyway here is the text of the email.
