The tone is carefully chosen: subservient, condescending, solicitous, disdainful. Thats the way the now ubiquitous African Scam Mail has descended upon us and thats the way German illustrator and author Henning Wagenbreth applies his own distinct style and wit to depict them. Using just a few bright colors and an amazing command of typography, A Cry For Help is a series of brilliant vignettes illustrating 36 of Wagenbreths favorite scam emails from Africa. Styles utlized include woodblock, linocut prints and computerized images, and all visualize in tragicomic manner just how easily a weapon of globalization (the internet) can be turned against its creators. Henning Wagenbreth is an awardwinning illustrator and professor of Visual Communication at the Universitt der Knste in Berlin (Berlin Academy of Arts).

This collection of scam emails has some amusing parts, but I found a few that were just too similar. It’s good for a laugh and makes you think about internet safety. Delivery was quick, but I expected a bit more variety in the contents.

Disappointing quality
I really wanted to enjoy this product, but it felt poorly put together. Some emails didn’t seem realistic at all, and a few were just plain confusing. Not what I expected for a collection like this. I wouldn't recommend it.

Great for learning about scams
I picked up the 36 Scam Emails from Africa as a quirky way to educate myself and my friends about online scams. The emails are really eye-opening and made for some interesting discussions! Just wish the formatting was a bit nicer, but it's still a fun read.
