With this story, they start off by saying you get the cash card if you pay a “reactivation” fee of 135 US Dollars. Now I’ve seen that somewhere before.

Oh yes, it was the 135 US Dollar shipment fee for FEDEX.

To be honest if a real medical student sent me a message like this, I would suggest they consider another profession, like a road sweeper, for example.

Yes, this is a strange sort of logic what this fellow calling himself “Datuk Tanko Ibrahim” is quoting here. The reason I should do this deal with him is because the so called “deceased” is a “nationality of German”.

This was sent to an e-mail address belonging to a German company, so his logic says that all Germans are brothers.

Funny that “all Africans are brothers” doesn’t work, does it?

Check up on Ibrahim Tanko here. This gives reason to believe the name is being used as a front on this e-mail.
