AFRICAN SCAMMERS

AFRICAN SCAMMERS
21.09.2012 LISTEN

There are some Africans including, Ghanaians who are dragging the name and the pride of Africa in the mud. They would go at any length to dupe people of their hard earned money. They don't care what they do to people so long as naive and greedy people in the Western world fall victim to their clandestine activities and deception. I have received countless unsolicited emails purported to inform me of my inheritance, lottery, Western Union money, you name it. The good thing is that these emails all go to my junk mails. Sometimes I read some of them for fun. However, this one has caught my attention. I don't know if the author of the email is actually a Ghanaian or some African of another nationality that is feigning to be a Ghanaian. However, it has raised my concern simply because of the "alleged" position that this writer holds in Ghana. Therefore, I have posted the content of his email below for your attention, perusal, and judgment. If this person is indeed a Ghanaian, then our nation is in trouble. How can we eradicate or scale down corruption, embezzlement, bribery, and stealing of the national coffers if such people are at the helm of leadership in the country? Read the email and make your own valid judgment.
