Recently a comment came in to iLook China and wasn’t sent to the SPAM folder. When I opened it, the first thing I saw was Him Yao Sui, Emperor of China.
The comment said, “I am dropping you a line to let you know that I have visited your website.”
Oh my, I’m so honored!
I’ve opened e-mails by accident from some African prince who needs money to get his inherited fortune out of some bank in some European country.
When I open one of those by accident, I delete them immediately.
However, this SCAM is on WordPress, and it is a Blog.
President Lincoln once said, “You can fool some of the people most of the time…” That’s who these e-mails are aimed at.
I might be stupid, but I’m not that stupid.
I want to share some of the suffering of Him Yao Sui (this link will take you to the Blog if it’s still up), the exiled “fictional” Christian Emperor of China.
1. I am an international VIP. Someone who is currently poor… I might be described as a beggar, a leech on society.
2. I am needing a house and a job.
3. I would like to find a good church to call my home.
4. The Emperor has asthma and his majesty needs a motorized wheelchair but he has no money and no medical insurance.
The exiled Emperor of China offers an introduction to himself and China’s Hebrew Jo Dynasty (3896 BC to 2010 AD).
The exiled emperor lists a 24 hour 808 number.
Don’t call, it’s probably one of those numbers that charges and your next phone bill may have a charge for several thousand dollars on it.
According to the note that follows the 808-telephone number, the service will be gone after July 31, 2010. The comment that was linked to this WordPress Blog arrived on September 30, 2010.
After I posted this, I deleted the comment.
If this exiled emperor is homeless, how did he manage to find a computer and put up this extensive Blog on WordPress? Maybe somewhere in all the posts there is another tearjerker explanation.

Dear Mr. Lloyd,
I read your blog with great interest. I agree that these Chinese scammers are terrible and I hope you catch them. I am an exiled prince from Nigeria and I too have received many such email scams. This is why I think you and I can form an excellent alliance. You see, my family has over one million US dollars in hidden bank accounts around the world. However we need a trustworth American who can help us transfer the funds into the US. If you agree to pay the wire transfer fee, I can ensure you 10% of the total amount. What do you say? You know you can trust me because we are in the same boat. Please let me know. Thank you, Mr. Lloyd.
I’m laughing!
