They just keep on trying!

Usually I find the spam trapped by our spam-trapper at work deeply tedious, but I thought I would pass this latest one on. I've edited out much of the irrelevance, request for financial details, and so on:

I just love the idea of a fraud purporting to compensate you for being the victim of a previous fraud!

(Maybe those people who contributed to the thread about significant digits could assess whether the compensation amount is $14.6M, or $14.60 extremely precisely...)

But they've been trying that compensation lark on for years now! How often do you check your trapped-spam?

Maybe it was an old spam that was just delivered.

On the other hand, some months ago I got spam from 2017. Apparently they are still interested in diplomas in the future. Sounds reasonable; I can't see how the traditional "you have won the lottery” or “please help me move this treasure” can work for another ten years.

Here is the great one I got today. It is just great to know somebody out there would give her little girl the middle name 'John'...

Good day,

I am Dr. Cynthia J. Mershark, a US citizen, 48 years Old. I took part in the Compensation in Nigeria some years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $20,000 while in the US.

I went on holiday to Uk to visit my daughter, while there I complained to her and she contact an attorney on my behalf (Mr. Norman Holley) who filed a petition at the Nigerian embassy in UK. I was invited by the Nigerian government concerning my claim Mr. Norman Holley accompanied me to Nigeria and they made it known to us that whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. He accompanied me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment.

I have received my compensation funds of $1,500,000.00, Mr. Norman Holley, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will advise you to contact Mr. Norman Holley directly through the below information.

Holley & Partner Chambers United Kingdom
Name: Mr. Norman Holley
E-mail: normanholley71@yahoo.co.uk
Phone: +44-704-572-4335

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Mr. Norman Holley was just $1,420 for his legal fee and paper works, take note of that.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Dr. Cynthia John Mershark
