‘Lo these past 10 installments Eval Hood has been the unwitting victim of diabolical Nigerian scammer Ziva Abiya. Intent on taking her as a short-term new wife to replace the first who died in slightly sinister circumstances and get his hands on her fake inheritance, Hood has shared with his beloved how he has unwittingly been victim, both financially and physically, of fake scammer Reverend Attar. Now the good Reverend seeks to ruin the couples happiness by setting up his own fake e-mail account in her name and sending photos of someone else claiming to be the real Ziva.
Never the sharpest tool in the box, Hood has mistaken these for photos of Ziva’s fake sister who doesn’t yet exist, but might need to soon as there’s some tragic news afoot…

With the loss of his second true love Hood is doubtless broken up and defiantly not lining up his next vict- err… betrothed, even if her fake dead sister would have wanted it that way to ensure the money kept flowing to Attar…

Pinta, I am most egregious for your loss and hope Emanuelle Henry will be brought to justice for his crimes soon. The funeral for your sister looks to have been a great success with a huge turnout from the refugee camp in DAKAR.
The details your sister requested before her murder are as follows:
1. your bank ACCOUNT number : 814401701
3.your bank sort code – 14-32-20
Could you please send more photos of yourself at your earliest convenience, to allow me to judge if you look like my dead wife Tintin as I still have many of her clothes and had planned to ask Ziva to wear them on our honeymoon, a role obviously I would appreciate you filling after her passing.
By way of an example I would expect you to wear the dress seen in this picture of us both while making me my breakfast each morning.
Regards,
Eval Hood
Probably pushing it too far there even for the scammers’ intelligence. Original Ziva breaks off contact at that point and even one final poking by Attar displaying his mastery of Photoshop sadly fails to provoke a response…

I’m not altogether sad it ended though, by the end of it I was apparently trying to scam myself, marry myself and kill myself off. I was certainly confusing myself if nothing else..!
