About 2 weeks ago my email account was sent a nigerian spam/scam, you know the type, they have $5 million in USD for you, they are sick in bed, and the money is for you, well that’s they type of mail I received. I decided to reply back and bait them a bit, who knows maybe it will work, I’ve tried in the past and most don’t respond, but I sent my reply from a yahoo account, they took the bait. Read on…
I will be posting messages from me and from my new best friend, Mrs Joy Mary, I don’t have all the letters I sent, because my Yahoo account did not have the option checked to save outbound message, about 3/4 way through, I got smart and enabled that. My goal at first was to get Mrs Joy Mary to say “The Power of Nemo” I built my whole bait on talking about the Power of Nemo and that I worked for “The Church of our Fish <><” With that in mind here is the scams and bait…
The first email I recieved:
Dear one in God.
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you for
my only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this
year.i prayed and got you email id from your countrys guestbook which i have
been with my late huband and liked to visit once more if God will in
his infinite mercies.
I am Mrs. Joy Mary from Amsterdam-Netherlands,I am 58 years old,i am
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my
brain,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is
quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that
i may not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage
has gotten to a very bad stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late
husband for twenty years without a child ,my husband died in a fatal
motor accident Before his death we were true beleivers.Since his death I
decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and
deposited all the sum of $5 million dollars with a BIAO Bank, Abidjan
Republic of Cote D’ Ivoire.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote
me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping
it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or
they get it confisticated.
Presently, I’m with my laptop in a hospital here in London where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs.my doctors have told
me that I have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see
that this money is invested to any organisation of your choice and
distributed each year among the charity organization,the poor and the
motherless babies home.
I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows,I took this decision, before i rest in peace
because my time will so on be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Biao Bank.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Joy Mary

Now we are getting somewhere, notive above, the Power of Nemo… :-) I now get smart and enable saved sent mail in my yahoo account… this is me replying to the above.
Mrs Joy Mary,
It’s a joy to be in in constant communications with you. You truly will have a star fish named after you! The power of Nemo <>< is with you, I can tell. Thank you so much for the picture, it is very nice to see you. Do you get any chances to go outside? Is there a lake or pond at your hospital? The Church of our Fish, really wants you to hold a sign to the water that says, “the power of nemo” if you can’t do this outside, we understand, but we do still need that in a picture. My church board requires that all missionaries that we aide to, does this. It’s a gesture of good will so that we may all be blessed. If you can’t do it, please have one of your friends do it. We trust it will be from you.
After we get that back, the offering our church gathered for you, will be sent to your bank to release your money so that we can do the work of God, who has made Nemo. We had a huge offering for you this week and we have planned another one next week, we hope to help you through. I am so amazed at the generosity of our Church of our Fish, they have a open hand to you.
The power of Nemo is here, do you believe it?Blessing to be blessed,
JamesChurch of our Fish.
Dear James Higley,
i thank you for your mail and your advice. You all who are in this power of nemo are blessed in the mighty name of God. Amen.

I believe in the Power of Nemo, and I am also praying for you all that are praying for me.
I have given the biao bank your contact information, they will contact you as soon as possible, for the release of my inheritance fund to you, so that you willl use it carry up the church of fish and bless the name of God.

note the email address from the bank.. and the form they want me to fill out is in jpg format, here it is:
I now ask Simon to send me a picture, since Mrs Joy Mary is so sick….
Hello Mr. Simon Pierre,
It’s a pleasure to meet you. This is a lot of money that Mrs, Joy Mary has given to do the work of Nemo, who was created by our God. The Church of our Fish <>< is excited to be here to receive this blessing, cause we bless to be blessed. It is very sad that our good friend Mrs Joy Mary is in the condition she is in, but she has a sort of power that shows through from Nemo, do you not think so?
My church board has taken an offering for Mrs Joy Mary, a way that we can give to her, the the proper routing, can you get this generous offering to her? Since you work for the bank and have contact with her, can you be the one who talks to her for us?
You letter has come to us at good timing, I have asked that Mrs Joy Mary take a picture near a lake or pond with that sign that says, “the power of nemo” if you cannot go outside that is fine, indoors is ok. But the Church of our Fish needs this, it’s something we get from all missionaries, and Mrs Joy Mary is that to us, a blessing! Now she has stated that she is too sick to do this, so I am asking you, her banker to take the extra step in faith and do it for her. The church elders have asked for this before we can release any information of our bank account or send Mrs Joy Mary the offering that was taken in her name, I truly believe she has the power, the amount our church has given for her is ready to released, including the interest earned over the past few days.
Please sir, do not hesitate on this, it’s near the season of our fish <>< and we have a lot of charities that we give to, to bless, so that we may be blessed.
Looking forward to hearing back from you. I will also scribe to Mrs joy Mary and let her know what I have asked for.
You sir, Mr Simon are also enpowered by Nemo <>< Do you feel it?

ATTN: James Higley,
We are in receipt of your message to our bank for the release of your inheritance fund.
I am sorry to let you know that our bank does not know what “God of Fish” is all about, what does this mean? and moreover this is not what we require from you, we require you to send your information to us, so that we carry on the transfer of this inheritance fund to your account as instructed by Mrs. Joy mary.
Our transaction does not related to your so -called “Power of Nemo” and Church of Fish” ok. This is bank and not market quear, so do not expect any of our bank officer to carry something and take a photo. Are you sure that you are going to handle this money the way Mrs. Joy Mary instructed you, a respected woman of her type.
Please if this is joke, stop it, because this is Bank, and not a playing ground as you may think that anybody can do anything he or she likes. So you so-called Church Of Fish, is your own business, our concern is to make the transfer to your account.
If you are interested to receive this fund, then send your banking information as we requested, so that we make the transfer.
Yours in Service,
Mr. Simon Pierre
Director of Payment,Biao Bank Abidjan.
Cote D’Ivoire.
I really don’t appreciate insult…
Mr Simon Pierre,
I’m sorry you do not respect the power of Nemo <>< Nor the respects of Mrs, Joy Mary, our friend. You listen really close.Mrs Joy Mary has entrusted me with this money, I will give you my bank account information, but before I do, I need that picture so that I know my transaction with you is solid. What game are you playing with me? Wasting my time on this email. Do you know the money that you have in your bank is acquiring huge interest. You should be more eager to earn my business. Do not try to mess around with me, or the “Church of our Fish”. We try to hold a standard. Once I get what I want, from you, a simple picture, with you holding a sign, “The Power of Nemo” then I will issue you with my account number so that we can begin the wire transfer. I will also issue the release our offering so that you may help Mrs Joy Mary.
Do not assume that this is a joke. We are a respected church, and our only mission is to bless others. You are a mere worker at a bank. Do not insult me, my church, or Mrs Joy Mary with your hard attacks. You can be sure that I will contact Mrs Joy Mary with your negative stants.
Have a good day.-JamesChurch of our Fish.
Mrs Joy Mary,
“I pray for you like the wind over the ocean. The fish swim to be with you, may Nemo <>< be with you as you feel pain and may he comfort you. His colors dash the screen like a rainbow in the sky.” these are the word of Nemo, I recite them so that you may also know his power that is shown through you.
I have received word from your bank and have asked that they take the picture in our absence, I told the church elders that you where too sick to take these, yet they are insistent that it be done before they can release any information or the offering that we took for you. Please understand that it is in both our best interest. I look forward to hearing back from Simon and we, the Church of our Fish, look forward to getting his picture with “The power of Nemo” on it. You do still trust in his power don’t you?
Stay in there my good friend.Blessed to be a blessing.
