Nigerian E-mail scam
2004-11-30, 7:19 PM #1
lol, I just got one of those Nigerian scams in my e-mail inbox. Take a peek. I'm thinking of humoring them by telling him stuff like, "I feel so very sorry that you had to eat your attorney to feed your family" and such...



Dear Friend,

Good Day,

Before i proceed, i must say that I am very sorry for jumping into your
private mail box, there was no other safe way to contact you in regards
to this business transaction, which requires a direct contact with you and
all confidentiality. I got your email address from an a reliable email journal
and i decided to mail you which i beleive it's your private email box, i
do NOT know you, but hope to meet a trust-worthy friend.

My name is Major Anthony P. Kanayo, a very close and personal
assistance to the late Head of State of Nigeria, who died in Office in 1998.
During my boss rule, some persons in the now ruling political parties (PDP)
were charged with felony in the court of jurisdiction and those found guilty
were consequently jailed. Now as a retaliatory measure on all that served
under the Late Head of State of regime and late Head of state family itself,
they are all out to seize, destroy and confiscate all perceived and suspected
wealth, estate, companies etc that has to do with my late boss since this
wealth where acquired through some of the late head of state private illegal
deals. Few days before the death of my boss, I was mandated to deposit some
GOLD in a security company,since i was his chief personal assistance in
one of the Europes States and to be precise Holland, Only came back to meet
the death of my boss and this Gold, they have not discovered. Right now,
my accounts has been frozen, my compaines, estates, cars have been taken
confiscated.

To avoid seizure of this gold if discovered, my lawyer (BARRISTER KOFI A
BASIL) advised me to open a correspondence with someone who can help us
evacuate the GOLD to a safe place and change ownership (ON TRUST) till we
conclude with the buyer of the gold. I am ready to cede some portion to
you consequent upon an agreement signed by an attorney. If you are capable
and trusted, and it touches your mind to assist a fellow human that has
been subjected to a different tortures and humiliation, my children especially,
my family are suffering because of this reason. It is like hell now for
me and family, leaving a life of not been sure of tomorrow. My wife has
been very sick and needs proper medical attention which i can not afford
now, i love my wife so much and can not afford to loss her. What is wealth
without a dear family to share it with. I have been feeding my family with
the help of my attorney who wouldn't have done all this for me, if i had
nothing to offer for his services.I need to move out of my country immediately
the gold is sold money transfered into your account for a business investment.

Please quickly send an email to my attorney, Barrister Kofi Basil indicating
your interest to assist. Any questions you may have should be directed
to him. His email address.

You'd think that if you were the only person they sent it to, they'd know HOW they sent it to you. You might want to email them back a solution to this little flaw so they can be better scammers. :p

Apparently so, but the only ones who actually use it are the scammers.

Tell him you will be touring Nigeria in the next 2 weeks for military purposes and would be happy to meet with him along with your personal lawyer.

This must be the best deal I have seen so far: 30% of 13.5 M. This guy is really generous!

I wonder if these things are nowadays more a hobby than real scamming. They have gained, after all, so much publicity that you would think nobody would fall for them anymore, no matter how stupid a person.
