Solomon Jomo

Another scam, this time sent as a word document. What these scammers do is look for a news report, like the one they mentioned (BBC) and then fabricate an elaborate lie based on the story, which helps make it seem real.

It’s all a scam designed to get your hard earned money and I’ve included it below:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Don’t be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don’t know me in person. I am MR. Solomon Jomo from Zimbabwe the first Son of MR.NDULOV JOMO who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE, you must have heard his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white farmers.

My Father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the war veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my Father, he deposited the sum of US $35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five Million United State Dollars) with one of the security company in South Africa, as if he knew the looming danger in ZIMBABWE.

The money was deposited as a gem and precious stones to avoid much attraction & demurrage from the security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland before the regretted incident.

This Land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act. Which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the “Modus operandi” adopted by the government.

This resulted to rampart killing and Mob actions. My mother and I (Solomon Jomo) are staying in South Africa now as Asylum seekers, which have not been beneficial to us; I have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political policy and also law does not permit us to investment hence we’re refugees.

I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter, you can help us if you wish. I and my family have agreed to give you 25% of the total US$ 35 Million dollars, 5% will be mapped out for all expenses that maybe incurred during the transfer and 70% will be for me (Solomon Jomo) and my family’s investment in your country.

Therefore if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through this private mail Address for more brief clarifications. I also need your private mobile, telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Remember; this is highly confidential and the success of this business depends on how secret it is kept.
