There are people who frown on my attempts to publish all iscams that find its way into my mailbox. But I can’t help to publish the really bad ones like this one, where the scammer haven’t bothered to keep track of the sender name. In the mail header it’s Hajia Maria, but in the signature it’s Hajia Mariam… Or is it a deliberate error made to further build the impression of a heard broken lady in distress? Naw…
