Fax from Michael J. Simpson South Africa

I received a fax today from Michael J. Simpson, private consultant for eminent persons in Asian and South African region.   But I am just a poor boy and not a well established businessman abroad so I can't help him.  Haha.

Watch out for michealsim147@gmail.com & micheal147@trustkonsult.com +27783840827
Interesting how Michael spells his name with the 'a' & 'e' reversed in his email.  Most people like their names spelled correctly.

    I also received this fax, and I decided to look into this as my instincts screamed scam. I mean what kind of business man will respond to text, email or fax, but not a simple phone call?

    You never know. These are distinguished and prestigious persons he represents. With persons of such high eminence they may have that much in their sock drawer.

      I have read other blogs where people have lead these scammers on. Some of it is quite hilarious. http://www.419eater.com/ is an example. (I have not affiliation except I have admired their work).

      I do not have the time to tease these guys but the thought has crossed my mind. ;) Be careful though the characters on the other side could be dangerous.

    I have just received the same fax. I wouldn't call the number. It could be the type of scam where you call a number and find out by your phone service that you owe thousands of dollars in international calls.
