Topic: Those irritating but sometimes hilarious Nigerian email scams
There was a time when they used to take a bit of pride in their work and actually make these begging letters as real and convincing as possible. Benson here must have been in a hurry!
'Don't tell them what's in the box.'
Goodday!!!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable
Bank Draft of ($1.2m) United States Dollars, but I did not hear from
you since for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to
confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and
Dr.Wilson the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft
will get to your hand that it will expire.
So I told him to cash the ($1.2m)USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash
payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out
out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till
ending of May 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you
because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for
the delivering Charge, Insurance premium.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY to deliver
your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is
($105.00 US) One Hundred & Five United States Dollars only being
Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.Again, don't be
deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $105.00 US Dollars.
I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when
you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
You have to contact FEDEX COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your
Draft with this information bellow;
Directors Name: Dr. Aminu Yusuf
Companys Name:FEDEX COURIER COMPANY
Email Address: (fedexcouriercompany1982@gmail.com)
Tel/FAX: +229 93923205
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery
and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your
package over there and know when it will get to your address. Let me
repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to
avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security
Keeping fee of $105.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.
Note this. The FEDEX COURIER COMPANY don't know the contents of the
Box. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the
contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don't
let them know that box contents money ok.
I am waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.benson henry
