What on earth is this guy talking about?

[Tulloni]

Wow the level of English in the email is stunningly bad! I mean I've seen some bad English before but that takes the biscuit. I know plenty of places have problems with infrastructure and their education systems but even people from those places can write better than this despite facing massive barriers. This guy's a scammer and not a very good one either. Let's hope he doesn't persist.

Bad grammar and spelling is very common among Scammers. There is a regular scam supposedly coming from the Manager of the London Diamond Hotel that starts off: "I need your assistant". I'm very tempted to reply saying that my Assistant is busy and not available. Another common spelling mistake is between "advice" and "advise, i.e., "I advice you to reply immediately". I had one of those yesterday supposedly from Ban Ki Moon, the Director General of the UN. They don't seem to know the difference.

Has he perhaps made a Typo and means Manga - some sort of Japanese cartoon style I understand.

As soon as I read "Nigeria" I had no need to read any further. You must have heard of the "Nigerian Money Laundering Scam" I suppose if they send these requests for peoples bank details to enough addresses they're bound to hit someone gullible enough to respond.

Delete, delete, delete.

I think Manga would make even less sense than Maga

Goshdarnit, I'm curious now! I want to know what Maga means too

send money

Yes, seems legit if he has an email, and he has to be at least 18 to have one of those and go anywhere of value on the internet.

Seems this guy has been busy and is known:

Here's another example jut received:

UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES
Internal Audit, Monitoring, Consulting and Investigative Division.

From: Ms. Carman L. Lapointe
Dear Beneficiary,
This is to inform you of my trip to Nigeria yesterday from London, due to series of complain from the United State Financial Security Services and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, America and other parts of the world, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations. The new strategy this thieves are using now is that they will inform you that your fund is in London UK in a bank that is not existing and start to extort your money again from London, don't listen to them because the origin of your fund is in Africa Nigeria.

I want to use this opportunity to notify you that I have forwarded your file to Nigerian Financial Service Authority on Friday last week to contact you for the release of your payment of $2.5M, I was sent down to this country by United Nations Financial Security to make sure that all beneficiaries receive their payment and I have sorted all American beneficiary payment file and forward it to the (NFSA) as directed by Nigerian presidency.

Some people here in Africa use my name to extort people claiming that they are Ms Carman Lapointe, Please you have to be very careful with anybody you are dealing with. They will direct you to another office or Bank in UK to contact for your payment while you know that the origin of your funds is from Africa; don't allow them to scam you anymore. The Nigeria Financial Service Authority is the only authority approved by the Federal Government of Nigeria to handle your payment, What I want you to do now is to comply with them because they are only approved office in this country for the payment so you should stop any further communication with any office apart from Nigerian Financial Service Authority.

It is very important you reconfirm your full details, full names, your full address, your direct phone number and your account details So that I can forward to them to immediately open correspondence with you.

Sincerely yours,
Ms. Carman L. Lapointe
United Nations Under-Secretary-
General for Internal Oversight

You would think that the United Nations Under Secretary would be able to write correct English and why do these SCAM addressed to the "Beneficiary" so they supposedly know who you are and where you live, always ask you to confirm your details?
