From Engr Jerry Aliu
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
Block 708b Falomo Close.
Victoria Island.
Lagos Nigeria.

I am Engr. Jerry Aliu, the Director of the Foreign Operations in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. (NNPC)

Recently I awarded and over invoiced a contract project in my Department to a foreign firm in Nigeria, the contract project has been completed awaiting to be commissioned, the account department of my
corporation is about to send their invoice to the Central Bank of Nigeria for immediate payment to the
Contractor

So my main reason of contacting you is for you to team up with me in order to claim the over invoiced
amount together. I intend to forward your company’s name to our account department as a sister
company to the Original Contractors to enable them approve the over invoiced amount to you (us)

Greetings,

I am a Civil Staff working under United States Marine Corps operating with the Engineering military Dept unit in Baghdad, Iraq, we discover about $65 Million US dollars that we want to move out but we need a good partner we can trust. This fund is oil money and legal. Click on the link bellow for more information http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

We have already secretly moved this fund out of Iraq to finance firm in Europe. This is a deal. But the question is can we trust you when the funds get to you? You will take your 30% for the assistance and keep the remaining for us in a safe custody. Your role is to find a safe place for the funds while our own part is sending it to you.

A quick fast count of how many people have been briefly affected by our hard working Akismet spam filter (and eventually been liberated by our hard working docents) recently:

  • 2/14 - 6
  • 2/13 - 6
  • 2/12 - 7
  • 2/11 - 3
  • 2/10 - 3
  • 2/09 - 8

I understand folks get occasionally frustrated. The spam filter is needed for the orderly running of OlyBlog. I and others have written about this many times before and I'd like to repost an excellent contribution Merwyn made:

I think I've mentioned this

I think I've mentioned this before. If, and I mean if because I don't believe for a minute it would happen, the docents were going to be in the habit of playing Access Games with those they perceive to be "troublemakers", then I would have been hit, and I would have been hit hard many, many times. It hasn't happened yet.

Many times I wonder why I even bother tattooing brickwall imprints in my forehead but when all is said and done I have to admit that OlyBlog has always allowed me to say my piece, even if it was just long enough for the gang to jump on me. True, there've been times where I'm right and everyone else was just so unbelievably wrong that it wasn't even funny, but that hardly counts as censorship.
