It’s not often that German freemail companies get misused for 419 scam types of e-mails. The Africans don’t usually speak the language and as such they don’t find their way around the sites.

Non the less, this one is obviously doing the 419 scam and is quoting an African, Okeke Frank as the contact man.

Now Frank’s e-mail address is from the French language version of Hotmail. So you can see that they certainly look for alternatives for their e-mail accounts.

This is just an adaption of earlier e-mails.

Funny though, the contact man is in “Ouagadougou”.

Doesn’t that sound familiar?
