Enough Is Enough

May 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

So, about ten minutes ago, I got the following email:

Dear Friend,

My name is Tony Chan Chun-chuen, friend and close confidant to NinaWang Kung, Who passed away on the 3rd of April 2007. I will save your time by not boring you with all the details at this time, Which has already been disseminated by the international media during the Controversial dispute that erupted between her and her late husband Relatives concerning the huge estate he left behind.

To save my time and yours I ask that you go to this link,
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/200704/04/content_843604.htm

As you will learn after going through the link above, all sorts of stories Have been assumed concerning the huge sum of money she left behind. Some Stories even say she left the bulk of her estate to me .But the truth is,
Although I am the sole custodian of a huge sum of her estate, she left strict Instructions that I hand over the money to charity and also that under no Circumstance should I let any of her late husbands relatives and
even her own Relatives lay their hands on the money. Contrary to media reports, she made Sure her immediate family is well catered for since she had no children of her Own,Before her death Nina Wang went ahead to
dispatch the sum of Eight hundred and Twenty Million British Pounds (820, 000,000.00 GBP) in cash with the assistance Of a foreign diplomat who now resides in Europe, but I will ensure to make her Wish comes through.

Now the reason why I have contacted you is that there is also some other Funds in the tune of $12,000,000.00 with the Hang Seng Bank China,and I want Your assistance for me to transfer these funds in your name to your
account for Both of us I will agree to share with you in a negotiable percentage as far as You agree to take part in this mutual benefiting opportunity.

Please I count on your absolute confidentiality, transparency and trust while Looking forward to your prompt response towards a swift conclusion of this Business transaction through my email address as follows:
info_ninawang13@yahoo.com.hk

Thanks & May the Stars Guide us In the Right Path,

I remain yours sincerely,
Tony Chan Chun-chuen

To which I replied:

Dear Tony,

Die in a fire.

Now, I know that my reply will do nothing. I know that this spammer won’t even read it. But I’ve just been getting so many of these emails that I finally just replied to one. It’s totally illogical, but I’d had enough and decided to reply even though I’m 100% it will do no good.

When have you had a moment like that? A moment when you’ve said enough is enough, even though you know your response or reaction wouldn’t change what is driving you nuts?

    My friend recently took the bait on an “adult” spam. Basically it was someone who claimed to be a hot Russian girl desperate for love, who felt she had a connection with my friend (or his email address- they had never met, obvs). He wrote back something along the lines of “Svetlana! I feel the same way! I’ve been waiting for you all my life. When can we meet? I feel like my heart is already yours.”

    She wrote back, in very broken English, about her job situation in Russia, and how she just knows that my friend is her soul mate, but she has to get to America first….yadda yadda yadda.

    At this point, my friend got freaked out and abandoned his efforts at bluff-calling.

    What I want to know is:
    1.) Who does this?
    2.) What do they expect to get from the people on the other end of these random email addresses? Is anyone actually retarded enough to send money?
