"Scammers often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man." - Scams

This book is about dishonesty - from street level to Cyberworld . It describes the common scams in circulation today and their origins. It shows how each fraud is perpetrated and how the informed reader can avoid or at least minimise their losses when faced with the scenario. If after reading this book you still manage to get scammed, you deserve to be put facing a corner with a dunce cap on your head and whipped with your empty wallet !

Mrs Trishia Wood,
Pisam Private Clinic
Abidjan
01 BP 120 Abj 01


Greeting Dear Friend,


I greet you with the name of our Lord; I know this letter may come to you as a surprise. Nevertheless, I humbly ask you to give me your attention and hear me well.


My name is Mrs. Trishia Wood from Australia. I am married to Dr Michael Wood who worked with Audi Automobile Italy for a period of 13 years before he died 2009 following the earth quake in italy. we were married but without any child. I was working under Renault Automobile plant in Abidjan Ivory Coast for more than 16 years now.
Since his death I did not remarry due to my cancer sickness. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$3.700.000.00 (Three Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United State American dollars) with a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.


Presently this money is still with the bank and the management has sent me a message to come forward and activate the account or rather Issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf If I cannot come over, but they don't exactly know my condition now. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment of Cancer of the lungs, I have since lost my ability to speak and the doctors have told me that survival is narrow. Note that this money is still with the Bank, I want a person that is trust worthy that will utilize 75% of this money to fund the less privilege, charity organisation, orphanages and widows in my name "Trinity Foundation" that is the reason why I contact you.


As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank, I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my ill-health but my lawyer is always beside me. As soon as I receive your reply I will instruct my lawyer what to do towards preparing the documents to your name, and give you the contact of the bank where this money is deposited. I also want you to always put me in prayers.


Any delay in your reply may give me room to look for another good person for this same purpose as my health issue. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hope to receive your response soonest


Thanks in advance and be bless.
Yours in christ,

Mrs Trishia Wood.
