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! big_smile

'Don't tell them what's in the box.' lol


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

How would an email increase one's manhood? I'm confused...:P

I'm just saying.

Re: Those irritating but sometimes hilarious Nigerian email scams

I get emails like this too. The only things they are trying to sell though are manhood increasing medication and watches.....I mean come on guys, at least put some thought into it, use a little imagination.

I certainly don't need a watch........;)

Re: Those irritating but sometimes hilarious Nigerian email scams

I really don't get too much spam, and the few I do get are usually about fake rolexes, cheap meds, weight loss, and work-from-home deals... lately I've been getting a lot about being a rebate processor, and I gotta wonder if maybe they're targeting me because I myself submit a lot of rebates online? hmm

Anyway, I did get one today that made me laugh... and no, I don't actually open these emails because that just confirms it's a valid email address, but sometimes if I'm curious I'll right-click on it and go to Properties, click the Details tab, click on Message Source, and then you can read the email... anyway, I don't even understand the point of this one, but I just love the grammar, punctuation, arbitrary capitalization, made up offices, etc.  Even if they could get all that stuff right, I can't believe anyone would ever respond to these things anyway... although I do remember once having a conversation with a slightly mentally challenged adult man who was caught up in one of these things, and no matter how I explained it to him or how many times I told him not to send them any more money, he'd keep coming back to "but they told me..."... so I believe any success these crooks have with these email scams must be coming from that segment of the population... it's a shame.  Probably not so much the elderly in this case, as most of them don't have computers, but they're still suseptible to scams that come by mail and phone... grrr... mad

Anyway, here it is... lol

Dear Friend,

I am micheal ashby, a solicitor at law and a partner in Morgan, Lewis &
Bockius LLP. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Roland George , an
American Citizen who worked with SHELL Oil Producing Company in Britain;
Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
  On the 21st of April 2005, my client, his wife and their only daughter
were involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several inquiries
to the embassy here to locate any of my client's extended relatives,
this has also proved unsuccessful,
  we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money
because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in banking sector guidlings
and laws. but unfortunately, After these several unsuccessful attempts.
I have come to contact you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at
US$16.5 million left behind by my client before it gets Confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge amount were to be
deposited. The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin,It
is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.
   The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into
the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next
of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner.
   I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the
provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the business and 50% would be for me Thereafter, I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage
indicated.   Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund
to your desiggnited bank account,you must apply first to the Bank as a
relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application that
I will send to you, so I will like you to send to me with my Email
below:

1: Contact address
2:International passport or driving license
3:marital status
4:Phone/ fax number
5;Age

N:B I shall ensure that all relevant information and legal documents that
may be needed to actualize this transaction is provided. All I require
from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Best Regard.
