Dear Friend,

I am Mrs. Joleen Moore; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My Residential Address is as follows. 108 rockett

Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States.I am one of those that was granted a benefits in Nigeria years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $20,000 trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my documents, and I was directed to meet the Attorney in charge of foreign remittances and beneficiary funds, Barrister Ricard Derek , who is the member of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA TEAM FOR FOREIGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me.He said that those people that are contacting us through emails are fake imposters and wants to rip us off. Then he took me to the paying bank,which is ZENITH BANK INTERNATIONAL and I am the happiest woman on planent Earth because I have received my CONTRACT funds of $5,000,000,00. (five million united states Dollars).

Moreover, Barrister Richard Derek showed me the full information of those that have not received Their payment and I saw your name as one of the beneficiary on the BENEFICIARIES/REWARDS COMMITEE LIST Including your email address, that why i decided to email you and tell you to stop dealing with those Imposters, they are not with your fund.I will advice you to contact the attorney in charge of funds issued to beneficiaries, Barrister Richard Derek or the COMMITEE ITSELF,so as for him to assist you to get your fund transfer into your bank account.

You have to contact him direct on this information below.

Name: Attorney Richard Derek (SAN).

Email: bar.richard101@lawyer.com

Tel: 009-704-142-9715

Office Address: 13, Cole Street, Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.

You really have to stop dealing with those scam imposters and fraudsters that are contacting you via email And telephone informing you of your funds with them why your fund is not with them, they are only taking Advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing left to eat. The only money I paid to the attorney was just $920 for NRTC (Non Residence Tax Clearance), which is Necessary to be paid, so you have to take note of that.

Once again stop contacting those people, i will Advice you to contact Barrister Richard Dereck so that he can help you to finalize the transfer of your Fund, instead of dealing with those Imposters that will be turning you around asking for different kind of Money to complete your transfer and you keep getting into trouble with the FBI and other monetary authorities.

Thank You and God Bless.

Mrs. Joleen Moore.

Exxon and Mobil. Both Exxon and Mobil were descendants of the John D. Rockefeller
corporation.In 1998, Exxon and Mobil signed a US $73.7 billion definitive agreement
to merge and form a new company called ExxonMobil Corporation, the largest
company on the planet.After shareholder and regulatory approvals, the merger was
completed on December 10, 1999.The merger of Exxon and Mobil was unique in history
because it reunited the two largest companies of John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil
trust, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey/Exxon and Standard Oil Company of
New York/Mobil, which had been forcibly separated by government order nearly a
century earlier.This reunion resulted in the largest merger in US corporate history.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in the energy industry and

programs targeted to worldwide health issues because it believes that good health is
a spring-board to opportunity, achievement and development.Health support falls into
several categories, the fight against global health pandemics, support for medical
centres/hospitals, health education and health care delivery, health and environment,

So How Come?

My photo
I have two blogs at the moment - Here Be Dragons which is devoted to rental scams primarily sourced through Craigslist although the proliferation of free ad sites has widened the hunting grounds. Many additions come from other sources (ie: blogs/anti-scam sites/online community ad sites) or are provided by people who want to share their experiences. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch is for copies of scammail that I find in my mailboxes ~ sometimes I can't resist the odd acerbic comment but for the most part I post 'em because the more that people do, the fewer fools they get to gull. Dunno what to say about me that would be very interesting ~ I'm a granny who reads, gardens and crafts as the mood strikes me. :) I don't particularly care for the social predators on this planet and this blog is part of my way of saying so.
