Измами по телефона / Общества / Професионални / Преводачи

Не знам защо това се оформя като толкова голям проблем.
С всичкото добро чувство към пострадалите колеги... но наистина трябва да си много, ама много наивен, за да се хванеш на подобна измама.
Аз специално не пропускам случай да се погавря. Ето например каква поща получих неотдавна и какво отговорих. Дано ви е толкова забавно, колкото ми беше на мен:

Писмото:

Contact Fedex courier company.
Dear friend,

How are you today ?.I'm writing to inform you that I have Paid the fee for your Draft Cheque. Yesterday, I went to the bank to confirm if the Cheque has expired or getting near to expire and Mr.Ahmed Zuma the Director of B.O.A Bank of Africa told me that before the cheque will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the $950,000.00, (Nine Hundred and Fifty thousand USD)to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 6 Months Course and I will not come back till end of Nov. 2008. What you have to do now is to contact the FedEx Delivery Express as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you immediatey.For your information, I have paid for the yellow tag fee and delivery Charge.

The only money you will send to the FedEx Express to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is US$106 One Hundred & Six United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee for the Fedex Service so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of dumourrage on your Package with them.

Please write a letter of application to the given address below:

Company Name: FedEx Express
Director: Dr.Nelson Fabian
Email: fedexoficebenin@sify.com
Contact Tel: +229 97 01 46 06

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address,nearest local and international airport, Direct telephone number contact address and picture or id to avoid wrong delivery, they will issue you a tracking #, to enable you track your consignment box and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $106.00 for their immediate action to deliver urgently. Note this. The FedEx Express don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a BOX of sensitive telegraphic film materials. They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don't let them know that box contains money ok.

Thanks and More Blesssing.

Отговорът ми:

Dear Eustace,
It is great to hear from you again. And what fabulous news! What you did was so thoughtful. I am at a loss for words.
Unfortunately I am also away. Hank (do you remember good old Hank?) arranged for me to visit him in Ittoqqortoormiit (he is in charge of the HDQT station there so there was no problem with accomodation) and I like it here so much I am not sure when I'll be back to civilization. It will be very hard for me to send or receive anything from here (especially urgently and least of all by mail) because we are in the mid of nothing (that's the whole beauty of it).
I hate to subject you to undue strain but since you have handled everything so far so nicely could you pay the lousy $106.00 on my behalf, keep 10% of the amount (Nine Hundred and Fifty thousand USD) and send me the rest with a cheque to:

John Goldsmith von Himmelstein Sr, Esq.
Ittoqqortoormiit
Greenland

No need for address, you know - there are so few of us here, that I am sure the cheque will reach me with no problems whatsoever.
On second thoughts... why not come here with the cheque yourself (or even the box, bring the bloody box, for god sake!), we'll have the time of our lives. No need for any directions, you will find it in a jiffy. Just let me know in advance so that I can meet the boat. And don't forget to bring some warm clothes for yourself.

Best,
John.
