Today, I received an email from a person who claimed to be Kennedy Ozuoka of United Bank of Africa. The email was as usual offering me money that I had been scammed off. I could immediately see that it was a scam email. There were many red herrings in the email. Given below is my communication with Mr. Kennedy Ozuoka. My comments are as usual in red.

Whenever I get such emails, I always Google to see if there are similar emails going around. This time my search for Kennedy Ozuoka took me to a Facebook post by the real Kennedy Ozuoka. He states in the post – It has come to my attention that people claiming to be Mr. Kennedy Uzoka send scam mails to innocent individuals urging them to part with their monies or other…

As I have mentioned in one of my earlier articles, I like to understand how the mind of the scammer works. What does he desire? What will he ask for? So I communicate with them.
