Goodmorning Melinda, How are you today? Like I said Testing your efficiency and diligence is to run an errand of an orphanage home for me, which I do every month and I am pleased to inform you that the funds for the orphanage and your weekly payment has been sent and you it would be delivered to your provided information any time from now today through FedEx. The payment was sent to your home address, So make sure you stay at home, so you can sign for the delivery of the Envelope from FedEx to proceed with your First assignment. The Envelope was sent via FedEx tracking # 779785601839 The Envelope contain an Official Business Check for the sum of $3,170 from LEGACY BANK TEXAS. However, I have been contacted by the woman orphanage home in charge and taking care of the home, she told me about 2 of the kids under their care that as a heart disease, she made me to understand that those kids need to undergo a surgical heart transplant which as to be carried out on the 4TH AUGUST, 2017 .. I promised the woman that we will do anything we can to help out by providing some funds to them along with the normal monthly contribution I use to do.I have been given the list of the items they needed, The items are much and it will cost a lot of money to get them shipped, so i reached an accord with the woman that they need to get all those items themselves since they know am not in town for now, She agreed that they will be getting the items themselves.I also have made it known to them that i have a new Personal Assistant that is working with me in the states, as for now, I don't need to send you the list any more, since they will be getting all the items themselves, I think that should be relief for you for running around purchasing items and shipping. NOTE: All you have to do once you receive the payment take it directly to your Bank and have it deposited at your bank and the funds should be available overnight then when its morning you can go to Bank to withdraw the funds. You will have to deduct you weekly Salary of $550.00 from the amount you received, then you transfer the rest funds to the orphanage home through MoneyGram or Deposit the cash at the bank I will get the details across to you. After you have the payment in cash remember you have to deduct your weekly Salary of $550, the rest of the fund is to be transferred to the woman in charge of the orphanage home....I will send you the lady’s Info once you have the payment cash and ready to transfer the funds to them. After you get this first assignment done email me so as to plan on the next task and your next payment.I want you to be rest assured that I'll never stress you at all in any assignment given to you and i promise to pay your fee weekly as we both agreed. Take good care of yourself and have a blessed day. Waiting to read from you soon. James Decker

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
