Jessica Kone email scam part II
I was so touched by Jessica Kone’s heartfelt email, that I couldn’t resist replying to her. It didn’t take her long to get back to me with a new message and a picture:
Hello, Nice in your respond as i said before my parents are late as the only child that’s while I find it difficult in life,am 18ys old nationally cote D’ ivory My daddy was cocoa merchant when he was alive,the bank here ask me to bring somebody who will witness the transfer that is why i contacted you,I also believe that you are god send person to me,i what to present you to the bank as my guardian, please I don’t want to remain here any longer as soon as the bank transfer the money into your account you quickly send me money for my ticket fair to enable me meet you in your country immediately, what i need is your complete contact information to enable me submit it to the bank.. i attach my photo in mail.
From Jessica kone.
The interesting thing about this scam is that the emails are coming from two seperate addresses:
jessi04@centrum.cz
jskone_08@yahoo.com
