========================================= My Dearest Friend,

Message Body everlastingdiva said: My Dearest Friend, Please do not be offended by this mail or the way I contacted you, it is about the only way I could get to you after going through your profile considering my present situation in which I found myself.Though I have not meet with you before but I believe, one has to take risk to succeed sometimes in life. I am Miss.Evelyn Bida, 19 years of age, the only child of my parents, Dr and Mrs.Leonard Grant Bida, My parents were Natives of Cote d’Ivoire before they migrated to the United States where they lived and worked and they were residing at No 215 West Wieuca Road Northeast Atlanta, Georgia USA , but when my mother fell sick and died June 2006, My father became weak every now and then he will fall sick, i believe it was the shock of my mum’s sudden death that deteriorated his health. He got retired from his office, Fidelity National Insurance Company at No 200 Galleria Parkway Southeast Atlanta GA 30339 USA October 2007. Then December 2007 my father called me and told that he doesn’t want to die in a foreign land. That he has made so much money, he felt the best thing for him to do now is for him to relocate back to his home country of Cote d’Ivoire so that he can set up his own Insurance company and give job opportunities to his people On the 14 of December 2007 he returned back to Cote d’Ivoire. On his arrival, my Dad deposited all the money he came with that he want to use to set up the company in a security company in a metal trunk box, which he bought and declare it family valuables because according to him, he doesn’t want anybody to know anything about the money till he has settle and ready to use it for the purpose of which he suffer to bring the money down here. Then after some time my dad started to look for properties to buy to use for an office, in several occasions I went out with him to inspect some properties. But unfortunately On the 6th of April 2008 My father died, but before his death my father told me that I should not let any of his relations to know about this money because he was poisioned by them and if they know about it, that they will do nothing but to kill me in other to take hold of every thing, He told me that I should seek for a foriegn partner abroad who will help me transfer this money to his or her account in abroad and also travel with him or her in other to continue my Life and Education and also to start a Bussines relationship with the person whom can take care of me in the future. I am just a university undergraduate and really don’t know what to do. this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life, My dear, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards and your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. I have all the documents he used in depositing the metal trunk box in the security company, name and address of the security company i will also give you latter. Please i would like to ask for your help here, i want you to please accept my humbly request that you stand as my guardian and i then introduce you to company and you receive the deposit for me.This is the true situation of things as it stands now. Please,take your time, go through this mail and let me know the best way you feel you can help me. Thank you soo much for your understanding and may almighty God bless you and your Family to the Glory of God Almighty.

    You may also find “Undisclosed Recipient” and there is message about winning a big deal. Your email address wins the money etc. These are all fake. Never trust, you will be in trouble. Even if you get message (it says) from yahoo about your email authentication. Please don’t reply. It may hack your email address. Be careful these days.

    @aritdas: thanks for reporting this. The user who sent those messages has had their account suspended.

    Spam hasn’t been a huge problem on Learnhub so far, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.

    Hi SpeedDeepu,

    You should mark those emails as Spam and not open them. Its a good idea to totally avoid emails which ask you to share your password, credit card details, bank account details and so on. Also there are emails where someone tells you that you have won a lottery or someone has given away all their property (in millions) to you. Such emails should be sent directly to the spam folder.

    In case you get such trash in your LearnHub Inbox – then please alert the Support Community the way Arit Das has so that the problem can be eliminated.
