Ｓ不在家的週五晚上，發慌到看垃圾信件夾裡頭的信件，發現了這一封很有趣的詐騙信。
類似的英文詐騙信也不只收過一次，所以看到一半，其實已經覺得這個故事有點誇張，都已經轉換到別的網頁，但卻又因為好奇心驅使，讓我將這整封信看完！看完後，只想跟大家分享這個『看似真實性很高』的超級大騙局。
貼上這封詐騙信的原文，有興趣的人可以慢慢地欣賞，我就簡單地將我對每段的分析跟想法寫出，盼能在博君一笑的同時，也希望大家不要受騙上當。
Dearest in Christ, GREETING IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
I hope you will not be embarrassed receiving this mail as we have not had
previous correspondences on this. I got your email address through the
assistance of Microsoft church directory system.
詐騙第一步：取得初步信任
第一段的開頭就先以上帝之名，很平常地向收信人問好。雖然收信人一定會產生『這個人是誰？』的疑問，在美國的收信人，更會懷疑『從哪裡得到我的帳號？』於是，第一段也交待了她是從微軟的教會目錄系統中得到電子郵件帳號，來讓很多人放下戒心。不過這招對我不管用，因為我根本就不是什麼天主或基督教徒，更不相信什麼都有的微軟還會有個教會目錄系統。但，這招對於身兼虔誠教徒及網路世界初學者這兩種身分的人，的確是很有說服力。
I hope you will not impede the trust and confidence I repose in you. In brief
introduction.I am Mrs Alima Kaneez converted from islam to christainity,
(Sierra-leone).I am married to late Mr Abu Kaneez, former director of
Sierra-leone Regional Training Institute in Ivory Coast for Twenty years
before he died in the year 2006,after a brief illness that lasted for only five
days.
We were married for Eleven years without a child. Before the untimely
death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his
death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home
which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he kept the
sum of (US$2,000,000 M)(Two Million Dollars) in a security company here
in abidjan Cote D’Ivoire.
詐騙第二步：說故事讓人產生同情或更深度的信任
接著第二段跟第三段，這位 Kaneez 女士便開始說故事了！如果只是單純看這兩段，大概會覺得這位女士是寫信來宣揚教義，有點以前七百俱樂部的感覺。她的故事在這時候已經成功地引起收信人的同情及注意，在第二段的最後，只輕描淡寫地把兩百萬美元遺產搬出檯面。而這兩百萬美元便是讓人繼續往下閱讀的餌！
In view of my condition, and the fact that I have nobody to leave this
money behind for, knowing fully well that my extended family are after my
life,just because my late husband susceeded in converting me from islam to
christianity above all they beleived on what the doctor told them that I’m
not going to survive the illness,they now concluded in their heart that
there is no need for them to be wasting money on me.I decided to donate
this money to either a living Church or a humaniterian organization/religious
organization that will use this money in propagating the gospel and also
taking care of the orphans,widows, and the needy generally.( 2Cor: 4:6-18-
17 ).By so doing,I would have susceeded in immortalising the names of my
late husband.
收信人想，好吧繼續往下讀並不會怎麼樣，於是看到這一段，Kaneez 女士提到她願意無私地將這兩百萬美元捐贈給教會或者是人道團體，這樣她可以讓她先生的名字萬古流芳。看到這裡，我不禁想，真是偉大的情操啊！我真是同意這樣無私、大愛的舉動，只是，既然都已經決定要捐贈出去，幹嘛還要寫這封信呢？但我也相信，一定會有人在看到這封信的時候，心裡是想，這兩百萬美金要是給自己該有多好？小心！當這麼想的時候，你就已經是咬住她放下的餌的魚！
Beloved,though I am sick and diying,I am not afraid of death because I
know where I am going.My soul has found a resting place in the handsome
bossom of the lord.Who shall seperate us from the love of christ?shall
tribulation,or persecution- — -Rom 8:28-38 vs 35 As soon as I receive your
reply,
Beloved,if my inner spirit has led me well, i need to hear from you, i need
to know you better, possible invite you so that we can develope proper
intimacy after which I will then give you the contact of the Security
Company and all the documents that would warrant the transfer of the
trunk contianing the money to you.
詐騙第三步：願者上鉤？還是扮豬吃老虎？
為什麼呢？因為在這兩段，這位女士讚揚上帝的愛之外，還提到她靈魂引領她寄這封信給收信人，因此，如果收信人願意回信，願意跟她建立起親密的關係的話，她願意提供保存這兩百萬的公司的連絡資料，以及將兩百萬美金轉給收信人所需要的所有文件。哈，這願者上鉤的做法實在高明！大概會有人這時候會想，哈，只要輕輕鬆鬆地跟這位女士建立關係，就可以得到兩百萬美金，多麼簡單呀！
Please understand that this massage requires urgency as my ill-health
demands, any delay in your response will give me room to contact other
person,I also want an assurance that you will use this money for the
purpose I have stated here.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ Mrs Alima Kaneez
詐騙第四步：勾起貪念、完成詐騙的第一階段
在信件的最後，這位有著無私大愛的女士還要叮嚀正在準備要寄信的人，她真的不久人世，因此如果不在第一時間跟她回信，她將會與其他人連絡。除此之外，還要再次強調這筆錢一定要用在她說的慈善人道用途才可以。這時候，我估計會有兩種人寄信，一種，是真正相當虔誠的教徒，覺得這種無私大愛的行為，如果自己可以替這位女士完成，真的是好事一樁！另一種，則是想兩百萬到手之後，她恐怕也已經見棺，或者是自己立馬遠走高飛，最後這錢當然就落自己的口袋！不論是哪一種，都可以想見在回信給這位女士之後，她或者是詐騙集團會用各種手段，如先付贈與稅金等之類的說法，讓人付錢給他們。到最後，原以為可以拿到的兩百萬，一毛也不會出現！
詐騙事件層出不窮，在台灣，我老爸便曾經是受害者，我們也只能認命地想，花錢算是買一個教訓！事實上要提醒大家，在很多很多地方，其實只要冷靜、不慌張、不貪心地應對，都可以發現破綻！
