Scams from Widows and Orphans: Mrs. Monica Molisa

Scam Money Transfers
Example -
Mrs. Monica Molisa,
"I got your address from the South African Network Online {SAINO} when I was desperately looking for a trust-worthy person to assist my son who is currently residing in South Africa , and so I decided to contact you.", "my son, Peter Molisa"

Have you received an email from "Mrs. Monica Molisa", who says "I got your address from the South African Network Online {SAINO} when I was desperately looking for a trust-worthy person to assist my son who is currently residing in South Africa , and so I decided to contact you."? And what follows is a convoluted sob story of one misery after another, along with a healthy dose of gibberish, spelling errors, terrible gram, syntax and punctuation, not exactly befitting an extremely wealthy person. And now, poor bereaved "Mrs. Monica Molisa", needs YOUR help to my son, Peter Molisa. Odd that they'd pick a total stranger, in a foreign country to trust their money to, don't you think?

Of course, it is a scam. Don't reply to it.

THE DIRECTOR/C.E.O,

My name is Mrs. MONICA MOLISA the wife of DAVID MOLISA from Zimbabwe .
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address, I
got your address from the South African Network Online {SAINO} when I was
desperately looking for a trust-worthy person to assist my son who is
currently residing in South Africa , and so I decided to contact you.
 
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to
his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender their farms to his party members.

My husband was one of the best farmers in our country and because he
did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supports invaded my husband farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband farm.
Before his death, my husband had deposited with one of the Security
Company in Johannesburg , South Africa the sum of (US$14 Million Fourteen
Million United States Dollars). After the death of my husband, my son {PETER
MOLISA} decided to move out of my country to Republic of South Africa
where my husband had deposited the money with the Security Company as
valuables.
 
Please why I am contacting you is to assist my son to move this money
out of South Africa because as asylum seekers he is not allowed to operate any
Bank Account or assured of security our investment within in the country.
We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance,
5% will be out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this
transaction while 75% will be for me and my family which I believe that
with your help we will invest it in your country.
 
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication. You can contact my son on his private
telephone number {PETER MOLISA} on: +27-785-750-340 or on his email
