Aisha Gaddafi impersonated in an Online Scam attempt – Is this really her?

I am writing this to let you know of the latest tricks people are using online to exploit other people off their hard-earned money; it works offline too – you just have to be careful. As I opened my Gmail app this morning, I saw an email claiming that it was from the daughter of the well known and rebellious African leader, Muammar Gaddafi – he’s now late.

What baffles me most is that how come on earth would this happen so easily? I don’t have anyone residing in Libya, neither do we have anything in common – I mean, I have no personal ties with the Muammar Gaddafi family.

I have inserted below the transcripts of the message so that you can learn one or two lines of lies used by these group of online scammers, so as to avoid online scams schemes and attacks that may be aimed at you. They are very dangerous and they have all it takes to get people down.
