Falklands : Emmanuel Mensah Does NOT Need your Money
Submitted by Falkland Islands News Network (Juanita Brock) 02.02.2009 (Article Archived on 16.02.2009)

Anyone receiving a message like this needs to immediately consider it as fraud. I hope Emmanuel Mensah finds this out sooner rather than later.

I got the below message on a user's group forum and, due to communications problems could not tell other members of the group that this message is fradulent.  Monsignor McPartland had a similar problem in 2007 when a message with the same wording was sent around about him.  I hope members of the group called the police or at least informed Mr Mensah that someone broke into his web based e-mail account and stole his mailing list.

See the fradulent message below:

 

How are you doing today? I am sorry i didn't inform you about my traveling to Africa for a program called "Empowering Youth to Fight Racism, AIDS, Poverty and Lack of Education,It as been a very sad and bad moment for me over here and the present condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain.

 

 I am really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in the Taxi where my money, passport,documents and other valuable things were kept on my way to the Hotel am staying, I am facing a hard time here because i have no money on me to clear my Hotel bill, I am now owning a sum $2000 for my Hotel bill.

 

 I need you to help me out with a sum of $3,500 urgently so that i can arrange and travel back home,I need this help so much and on time because i am in a terrible and tight situation here, I don't even have money to feed myself for a day which means i had been starving so please understand how important and urgent i needed your help.

 

  

 I am sending you this e-mail

from the city Library and I only have 30 min, I will appreciate what so ever you can afford to send me immediately through Western Union or Money Gram and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home so please let me know on time so that i can forward you the details you need to transfer the money through Money Gram or Western Union.

 

Emmanuel Mensah..
