Lixo eletrônico não é novidade.
Todos os dias, minha caixa de e-mails amanhece abarrotada de spams de todo tipo.
Ao longo do dia, mais uma dezena de mensagens com todo tipo de publicidade entope meu correio virtual.
Além dos e-mails de editoras tentando vender assinaturas e empresas com lançamentos, recebo uma quantidade enorme de mensagens de pessoas das quais nunca ouvi falar.
Em geral com nomes africanos e/ou muçulmanos (mas já recebi de supostos soldados americanos no Iraque).
Sim, certamente meu endereço eletrônico está na lista de mensagens de picaretas ao redor do mundo.
Comecei, por curiosidade, a ler algumas das mensagens.
Quase todas foram (teriam sido enviadas) por alguém em Burkina Faso que trabalha num banco ou é viúva de um figurão que morreu num desastre aéreo, sofre de câncer e tem apenas alguns dias mais de vida.
No caso do sujeitos que dizem trabalhar em bancos, a mensagem diz que ele descobriu uma quantia (em geral algo entre US$ 5 milhões e US$ 10 milhões) adormecida numa conta sem movimentação há vários anos.
O sujeito diz que chegou ao meu nome graças a contatos na alta direção da empresa, que me recomendou como sendo pessoa altamente confiável.
Ele quer meus dados pessoais (em geral nome completo, idade, endereço, senha do e-mail, número da conta bancária, telefone) para poder transferir parte do dinheiro.
Eu ficaria com algo entre 40% e 50% do valor. O sujeito com outros 40% ou 50% e o restante, quando houvesse, seria doado a orfanatos e instituições de caridade que cuidam de mães abandonadas.
As viúvas dizem que o dinheiro está preso no banco e, por causa de um golpe de estado, não conseguem movimentar os recursos.
Mas eu, como estrangeiro, poderia fazê-lo com grande facilidade.
Tenho enorme curiosidade de conhecer o pessoal que cria essas mensagens e como a quadrilha funciona.
Hoje recebi um e-mail, em inglês, de um sujeito que está à beira da morte num hospital no Paraguai.
Ele escreve como se fôssemos velhos amigos que tivéssemos tentado operação semelhante no passado.
Outro sujeito diz que, depois de jejuar e orar, recebeu a mensagem de que eu era pessoa confiável para receber US$ 5 milhões.
Um outro ainda se dispôs a, depois de receber meus dados pessoais e endereço, viajar até aqui para me encontrar e discutir detalhes da transferência.
O incrível é que uma quantidade enorme de gente responde a esses e-mails e acaba caindo no golpe.
Uns perdem alguns milhares de dólares ao enviar aos bandidos dinheiro que supostamente seria destinado a cobrir taxas referentes a operações bancárias.
Abaixo, uma seleção de alguns dos incríveis e-mails:
I AM MRS MIMI PHILIP
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU , BURKINA FASO .
Dear Friend.
CONFIDENTIAL
I will like you to help me, in receiving of this fund into your Bank Account .However; it's just my urgent need for foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance Department of BANK OF Africa (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (US$27.2 Million dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign Customer (MR. PAUL LOUIS from Paris, France) who died along with His entire family in July 2003 in a plane crash.
I am afraid if this money stays in our bank without claim for long period of time, our government will step in because
The Banking laws here does not allow such huge amount of money to stay
Dormant for more than 8years. And you will be receiving this money into your Bank account within 10 or 14 banking days.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Eight years an above, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and while 70%would be for me.
If you agree to my business proposal, further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your return mail. Make sure you keep this transaction as your top secret and make it confidential till we receive the fund into the account that you will provide to the Bank. Don't disclose it to any body, because the secrecy of this transaction is as well as the success of it, have a great day.
Place contact me immediately
Yours faithfully.
Mrs Mimi Philip

Good day,
Hope all is well with you and your family.
I am Blaise Samake I currently hold the post as the Audit Account Manager of our bank in Ouagadougou Branch, Burkina-Faso. I got your contact from a reliable web directory. We can see actually that the world is a very small place to meet people but what matters most for me is to transact with a person with full trust. I have developed the trust on you after one week of fasting and praying. Due to the trust, I made up my mind to disclose this confidential business to you.
We are in position to reclaim and inherit the sum of US$10, 000 million without any trouble, from a dormant account which remains unclaimed since 7 years the owner died. This is a U.S Dollar’s account and the beneficiary died without trace of his family to claim the fund.
Upon my personal audit investigation into the details of the account, I find out that the deceased is from Atlanta America, which makes it possible for you as a foreigner no matter your country to lay claim on the balance as the Foreign Business Partner or Extended Relative to the deceased. Your integrity and trustworthiness will make us succeed without any risk. Please if you think that the amount is too much to be transferred into your account, you have the right to ask our bank to transfer the fund into your account bit by bit after approval or you double the account. Once this fund is transferred into your account, we will share the fund accordingly.
40%, for you,
40%, for me,
3%, had been mapped out for you for the expense you make in this transaction,
17% as a free will donation to charity and motherless babies homes in both our countries as sign of breakthrough and more blessings.
If you are interested to help without disappointment or breach of trust, reply with your full details,
1. YOUR FULL NAME:........
2. YOUR CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBE
3. YOUR AGE:........
4. YOUR SEX:.........................
5. YOUR OCCUPATIONS:..........
6. YOUR COUNTRY AND CITY:........
7. YOUR PHOTO OR LOCAL IDENTITY:...............
so that I will guide you on the proper banking guidelines to follow for the claim. After the transfer, I will fly to your country for sharing according to our agreement.
Assurance: Note that this transaction will never in any way harm or foiled your good post or reputation in your country, because everything will follow legal process.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Blaise Samake
