Investing in the UK

Investing in the UK

We've been passed an email from Geoff Griffiths who received an offer relating to $50 million that is being put aside for investment in the UK.
We've contacted Samir, who is keen to work with us to release these funds to a bank in the UK. No doubt he'll be asking for some money off us before long.

Dear Samir

What a wonderful surprise it was to hear from you again.
How is Jean Bertrand Aristide, I haven't seen him since the conference in Cairo, a pyramid summit that involved a number of top delegates from all over the globe. I'll never forget his way with words, but he did have a problem with body odour, the sphinx was often very overpowering.
Anyway, I'm keen to proceed further, but what happens next?

I want to know if you have contacted Mrs Roses Galore and make request for the transfer of the funds to your account.
I wait for your update,

Our reply

Dear Samir

I have passed this correspondence on to my brother, Father Buster, as his church is in much need of the funds for charitable causes. I trust that this won't be a problem and that you can deal with my brother through this email address for all future matters relating to the transaction.
Lord Buster

Samir

Dear David, (We'll have to ask who David is at some stage)

I am ok with your arrangement and I am happy also to know that Cuthbert Buster is a christian.
Cuthbert, I want you to be following all the instructions by Mrs Roses Galore and always get back to me where you need clearification.I want you to also know that my family are in tight condition here so we will always need your prayers.

I have also decided to give your church 5% outside the 20% that will be coming to you for assisting me.
I wait for your update.

Samir

Our reply

Dear Samir

I will certainly follow the instructions as requested by Roses, but I do have a slight problem as I don't know what religion you are?
Our church forbids me entertaining even the thought of helping someone who isn't a member of our church.

Regards and prayers
Father Cuthbert Buster
Church of the holy webmail

Samir

Dear, Cutbert, (Never found out who David was?)

I am a christian with Islamic background but I don't think religion really matters in this case.We are helping each other and I believe that after the funds are suceesfully transfered to your account, I will be coming over to your country with my family for my investment in commercial real estate and then I will know you better and I also believe that you will also help me in this investment. Let me know the position of things with Mrs Roses Galore.

Best Regards,
Samir

Our reply

Dear Samir

Thank you for your reply, however, being spiritually linked to our church isn't enough for me to be able to continue with this proposal. Our church has a strict policy of only being able to assist bonafide members of the order of the holy webmail.
I am therefore enclosing an application form for you to fill in. Should you wish to join our church, please complete the form and return it as soon as possible.
I look forward to your reply and hope that we can assist you further once you are truly one of us.

Regards
Father C Buster

Samir

Dear Cutbert,

I will prefer to do this when I arrive to your country with my family. For now, my money is astake and we have to work towards the transfer of this funds to your account. I will keep your form.
Pls update me on the level n the situation

Best Regards,
Samir

Our reply

Dear Samir
The Cardinal has informed me, that I am already breaking the rules of our church by discussing this matter with someone who is not a member of our church.
For this reason, I cannot continue to assist you until we have received the completed form.

Dear Roses

Thank you for your swift reponse.
I will now contact the Cardinal and inform him that funds are no longer required for any possible expenses that would have occured during this transaction.

Trying out the website

So, we tried the website and login we were given and hey presto, we were presented with a very nice page that although being fairly basic, looked good enough to fool some people. After entering the tracking code, we were shown a page that clearly stated that $50,000,000 was waiting to be transferred to our bank account. We entered our (false) bank details and waited while the money was transferred.

Eventually, the whole thing timed out and we were asked to contact the Legal department.
We are currently sending all of our findings to the authorities in a hope that this website will be closed down as soon as possible.

Mrs. Roses Galore

Dear Sir,
Pleasee do not contact us again because the funds was sent to its origin. Please contact your patners because we do not practice money laundry.
Mrs. Galore

Doesn't look like they were happy with us entering the wrong bank details.

Samir

Something has gone wong.
I will get back to you after finding out what happened
Best Regards,
Samir

Our reply

Dear Samir
This is all very embarrassing for me. The Cardinal isn't at all pleased and feels that I am letting the church down. Please sort this out as soon as possible as I'm very worried by the accusations made by Roses.
Regards
Father Buster

Samir

You have nothing to worry about.I will get back to you for directives.
Regards,
Samir

THE END

They never did come back to us, so we gather they were shut down.
