Fraud attempt through private messages on V

Did anyone else receive obvious fraud attempts through private messages?

The text below arrived today in my inbox at V, it is clearly an attempt to suck in gullible idiots to waste their money.

Wonder how they got the idea to pick me??

Maybe my transportation choices gave it away??? ROTFLMAO

Good day to you,
faithkona1 [at] yahoo.com
I am Mis Fiath Kona female from Cote d'ivoire 22 years of age. I am the only daughter of my father and mother. However, I wish to inform you that my father was the commander of the ancient Ashanti Kingdom in Cote d'ivoire and there was a controversial scandal going on into the Gold Sector of the Government whereby the government requested he should over influence a contract to the sum of US$10,000,000.Ten Million dollars to their personal benefits as top officials of the government.

To the refusal of my late father to this proposal, they have to kill him to have their way for their own selfish interest. But before the death of my father, he told me that he deposited the sum of(US$3, 5million dollars )Three million and five hundred thousand united states dollars with a security company in the box as consignments but registered them as precious items and personal effects. He told me that incase if anything happens to him that, I should make sure I find a foreign partner that will help me move the consignments out from the security company and invest the funds. He also warned me not to associate with any of his friends down here or members of the family for my own safety.

I want you to know that he gave me the Certificate of Deposit of the funds, Consignment Control Label Number and Transfer Freight Manifest and I will supply you with these documents once you agree to help me and have only 20% of the total funds after your efforts.I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways. and i contacted you with good faith beleive me. the whole documents conerning this transaction is with me.

(1) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years old.

(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.

(3) please my dear i am of real i really need your assistance for my life, and i promise that you will never regret to assisting me in life and i do promise that i will not let you down, so I beg you in the name of God to help me and all i have explained to you is all the truth about Me please my dear i need your help now. Hope to hear from you so that I will inform you what to do next.

Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards.

Faith Kona

Hey guys, the jokes on you. I responded to Faith, not only am I getting my share of the money but we're getting married too...

Well, at least I think so. Do you think it was a bad sign that she asked for my Visa Card number to buy the wedding dress?
