今天收到一封詐騙電子郵件，跟一般不太一樣的是，內容如下：
Hello Dear Florence Ko
Please I want to have a deal with you.
( I am Miss Ehmy Ashima ) I was engaged to a foreign contractor, whom I had a child for ,In the same year he was attacked in Somalia by rebels.
Before the incident happened ,he shipped some refurbished mining machines to a firm in Monrovia on an agreement to be paid after 3 months upon the receipt (which precisely was to be June 2008) before the incident happened.
And ever since that 2008 ,I have have been thinking that the relative would come to us or contact us ,which as a result ,I opted not to contact the firm till I speak with them to discuss about the debt ,which has taken too long to wait for more time as I believe they probably might not know about us.
Due to challenges ,I decided to come to the company ,which I have met their management with a resident lawyer that I hired to assist me .After several meeting ,they demanded a letter of surety from the lawyer to enable them release the money to me but the lawyer is demanding to speak with the family before he can sign for the surety ,and there is no way I can get to the family as I never met with them for the first time and I don’t want the lawyer to know of that.
Please I am craving for your cooperation (by the virtue of your same family name) to stand as a relative to speak as the family representative please ,I am willing to offer 25% of the payment to you as a deal and agreement.
Please help me ;there is no risk of any problem, the lawyer just want to speak with the family member to be sure of their knowledge over my pursuit of the payment before he can sign for the payment to me ,and I don’t want to tarry to connect him to the family to avoid misconception please.
Ehmy Ashima.
這封郵件的內容還真的花了一些心思去構想與撰寫，是一位女士，希望我可以充當她親戚與他律師談談，好讓這位律師可以了解、信任這位女士，進而為她做保，來追回她未婚夫之前交易的一筆帳款，並說這不會造成我的任何損失。
表面上好像是位可憐的女士在尋求協助，但是故事內容不合常理，相關的人事資訊卻完全沒有寫明出來，而且最重要的是：我根本不認識她，怎麼可以充當她的親戚，來讓她的律師信服。我相信若我一旦回信，這位Ashima女士應該還會告訴我一大堆她可憐的故事來騙取我的同情心，進而詐取錢財！
這真是個名符其實的釣魚詐騙信件！
上網搜尋了一下，原來類似這樣的詐騙郵件早在2004年開始就到處流竄了，下面這個網頁中，有許多不同的釣魚故事版本：

詐騙信件時常都會收到，但是不知道為什麼，今天這封特別令我厭惡！也許是因為那種用盡心機編故事、以騙人錢財的心機特別深重，所以讓我隱隱感到非常不舒服。
