Lagos, Nigeria - Nigerian billionaire Esenam Ayele wants to share
his millions with the rest of the world, but he's having trouble
finding takers.
Ayele made his millions in property and oil, but he believes that
keeping his money in an unstable country like Nigeria is not fiscally
responsible. "I have more than I know what to do with, so I
thought random acts of kindness would be the best way to enrich the
world."
"Charities use too much of my donations in overhead so I've
been contacting people through e-mail and asking if they want to
share in my wealth. I thought it would be easy to give away millions
and make it on the Philanthropist's Top 100 list, but I have only
had one taker so far," explained Ayele.
Thomas Hutton of St. Louis, Missouri was the lucky recipient of
$12 million from Ayele. "I was so excited when I received this
e-mail from Ayele. I mean how many times do you get to help out a
Nigerian billionaire? The next thing I know $12 million dollars had
been deposited into my account. Since then I've gotten a lot more
opportunities that I'm going to check out."
"Bill Gates can give away millions in Africa, but when I want
to help out the fine people of the United States in return I am ignored
and sometimes even chastised for trying to help," said Ayele.
Ayele is furious at the countless Nigerian scam spammers who flood
the Internet with messages hoping for an easy mark. "These people
make my job more difficult. That is why I've started the Society
of Charitable African Millionaires organization. This group of wealthy
Africans finds ways to fight the spammers, so legitimate philanthropists
can share their money with random people through the miracle of the
Internet."
Ayele has encouraged SCAM members to proudly proclaim their SCAM
membership in their e-mails, so the SCAM name can become a sign of
trust. "I sign each e-mail with 'Proud Member of SCAM' or "Proud
to be a SCAMmer', but unfortunately my percentage of giveaways has
gone down since. What can I do?" wondered Ayele.
