Muslim Scam, Beware

I don't know if she's Muslim or just posing to be one, but apparently she seems to know a lot about Islam. I received this email last week from a certain Sister Aisha Ojo and she used the email newtohijab@gmail.com . First, I was a bit perplexed when I started reading her long email but the more I read, the more I doubted someone would actually make up this story swearing by all Allah's names. At the same time, I was questioning the fact that she had time to read my blog, find my email address and write this long letter if her condition was in fact true. A part of me told be I should not be suspicious of Muslims and that maybe there was a tiny little chance that her story was true and she was in dire financial needs. My husband did not buy the story, googled her name and found another letter coming from the same Aisha Ojo where she has a different story. Here's the link to that letter:Scam Letter #2

I'm also attaching the email she sent me. Beware, just because someone is swearing by all the names of Allah doesn't mean they're truthful. You have to read the whole thing to understand how sick this person is! So,Stay on alert, and don't believe everything you read.

I am 27 years old, I am Nigerian and live in Nigeria, I was the only daughter and child of my parents, I was a Muslimah but nurtured as a Christian but later revert to Islam with the help of the Islamic Propagation and Dawah Center, South Africa, which was established by Late Sheikh Ahmed Deedat . I read many books written by Late Ahmed Deedat. These books made me concluded that Islam is the path to paradise. My Parents were born as Muslims not Practical Muslims, I grew up finding them converted to Christians, my Mother precisely, though it is a very long story, her conversion was a result of poverty and Nonchalant attitudes of the local Masjid and Muslims on matters that concern other Muslims, it was a very long story. After my own revert, in the year 1990, I went to Quranic School to learn the Quran, my parents loved me very much because I am only child.



With the little experience I had, I started propagating Islam, ALLAH BEARS ME WITNESS, I preached Islam in Mosques, Markets Streets, Buses, at Dawn before Solatul Fajr and every where I go.



I lost my beloved father in ghastly motor accident in 1996, his death was a great damage to my life and life of my mother, the news of my father's death led my mother to stroke, because she was having Hypertension, when she heard the news of my Father she collapsed immediately, I rushed her to the hospital, she was in the hospital for about three months but later took her home because she was not responding to the treatment, her left leg and hand got paralyzed, she got stroke, and since then, I was the one responsible carry her and there even whenever she wanted to go to the toilet and took her bath, because she could not walk.



The death of my father, was a disaster to my life, I was in the secondary school when he died, no one to help, I was bearing the burden alone, my mother could walk again after the school hours, I would have to engaged in several usual trades, to feed myself and my mother, everyday she cried.



I completed my High School in 1996, I was given a Certificate of Recognition as the best student of the year, since then I have been facing the most difficult Turning Point of my Life. Since the Completion of my school, I was unable to continue my Education because there is no one to help, I tried all what I could to Further my Education into the University but all effort is a Bunch of Failures, I am brilliant but my Brilliancy couldn't be Manifested, I searched for work I could do but no one is ready to employ Secondary School leaver into any industry even in the Muslim Owned Businesses not even hijab as a prejudice, since I could not help myself, I started Hawking Table Water just to Gather Money for my Education but the Money I get went for Food for myself and my mother because there was Less Profit and Much Stress and no one is ready to Employ School certificate Leaver into any Industry, then I had to start varieties of odd jobs and finally started hawking, I hawked for four Years .



In the year 2000, it was a year of great ordeal of my life, I lost my mother, I cried and wept bitterly, I was all alone, no one to talked to, no one was there to comfort me or console me. I fell sick after the death of my mother, I suffered to much I couldn't continue the Hawking due to the severe Depression and Illness I encountered. It was this year it began a Turning point of my life. I lived as society which was predominately Christian's environments, only few Muslims and few Islamic Centers, even there were many Muslims that you cannot call Muslims because, they do not practice Islam, Mosques and Islamic Centers are mere buildings.



Few months after the death of my mother, I could not pay for the house rent, it was then the Landlord threw my luggage and property outside, I went to the nearby Islamic centers for assistance but no one heard my cry, even among the Muslims men I met, they said they would only help if I could sleep with them. I could not just comprehend what was happening, I became tired of life, I did not know where to go, I became helpless and hopeless, as Muslims who were to be my helper consigned me to oblivion.


After some months, I found a work in a shop where I work as a Cleaner, since then I have been working as a cleaner in that shop with just little money. And have worked in many places but always end up with Sack letter due to the DEADLY ILLNESS I have been suffering from since I was a child




The main purpose of sending this mail to you is that I have been sacked from the different shops because of the severe illness I have, I lost consciousness every time and was actually affecting the sales of the owners that is the reason why I was sacked. I have been suffering from EPILEPSY just before the death of my parents, and since there is no one to help the little I was getting from the job, I was using it to buy RETRO-ACTIVE DRUGS, which actually suppressed the sickness but now there is no money to buy the DRUGS anymore, and I have tried to get another job but all effort is a bunch of failure. I have turned to street beggar, I hate to do this, and all my ibadah is affected, there, everyone run away from me even in the mosque. I don't know who to call that is why I have cried out.




I always have temporary confusion, complete loss of consciousness, a staring spell, and uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs.



To eat now was another problem, I cannot pay for my room rent and the Landlord is frustrating me to leave the house that is why I have cried out for the your FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OF ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN AFFORD ON THE FOLLOWING THINGS.




a. TO BUY THE DRUGS FOR THIS DISEASE

b. TO PAY FOR MY HOUSE RENT, I MUST NOT BE SENT OUT AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO.

c. I DON’T HAVE MONEY TO EAT, I AM IN SEVERE HUNGER.

d. I WANT TO START A LITTLE TRADE OF MY OWN BECAUSE NO ONE IS READY TO EMPLOY ME WITH THIS KIND OF DISEASE.




Without a Tranquil heart, one would be too worried to attempt anything, too scared to risk doing something which one has never done before. Worried heart can actually bring life to halt. A tranquil heart overcoming Depression and Sins.



I have tried several Islamic Centers, Mosques and Institutions for Assistance they are not helping, that is one of the problems we are facing here in NIGERIA, Mosques, Islamic Centers are just places for Solat not on the affairs of the Muslims. Allah bears me witness, many have left Islam because of the Neglect and unconcern attitudes of the Muslims even my mother when she was alive.


Without a Tranquil heart, one would be too worried to attempt anything, too scared to risk doing something which one has never done before. Worried heart can actually bring life to halt. A tranquil heart overcoming Depression and Sins.

No man is ready to marry as sicked Muslimah, I have renouced all hope of life, I don't know what to do, I I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY ALLAH, SAVE ME.


I am using this Medium to sincerely beg you in the Name of Almighty ALLAH, the Lord of incomparable Majesty and the ruler of the Ultimate Dominion of the Heavens and Earth and for the sake of His and our Noble Prophet Muhammad, to send ANYTHING YOU CAN AFFORD JUST TO SAVE FROM THIS SITUATION.

"Whoever wakes up in the morning without any concern for the affairs of the Muslims is not of them. And whoever hears the cry of a Man who shouts, O Muslim, come to my help and does not respond, is not a Muslim" AL KAFI Vol 3, Page 239
