Sharessa Posted September 16, 2002 Yeah...but you should at leat read bits of the scam all the way to the end. The dude (person being scammed) pretends to kill his wife and her friend, then he high tails it out of the country and tells the scam artist to wear yelow and hop on one foot in the middle of a town square. Hella funny, and I think its an ongoing thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

boris Posted October 4, 2002 Ok, I know this thread is rather old, but I just read on some german page that a group of people who used exactly this method were arrested in Spain. This group made $20 million (!) with those mails. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted October 5, 2002 I got one too, I'm just not goona bother replying in annoyance(annoyed by the slightest things, yes I am) ATTN: *=====. l am sorry for the embarrassment this my letter might cause you as we have not had any correspondence before this letter. l got your address through my newphew who works with Nigeria Chamber of Commerce lndustry and Minning during my research for a reliable and trustworthy partner who l can do business with. l am DR. MRS MARIAM ABACHA, wife of the late Nigeria Head of State, General Sanni Abacha who died on the 8th of June, 1998 while still on active duty. l am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other and also develop a cordial relationship. l currently have within my reach the sum of Fifty Million US Dollars (US$50,000,000.00) cash which l intend to use for investment, like Real Estate Development specifically in your country. This money came as a payback contract deal between my late husband and a Russian Firm on our countries multi-billion dollars Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian Partners returned my husband's share of USD$50,000,000.00 after the death of my husband and lodged in my husband's security company of which l am director right.The new Civilian Government have intensified their probe on my husband's financial and oil company. ln view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the US$50,000,000.00 from the company's vault and deposited it in a Security Company . lhave since declared the Security Company bankrupt. No record ever existed concerning the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received the money from the Russian. Due to the current situation in the country concerning government attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within. Let me refer you to the front page of this day newspapers of 10th March, 2001. You can check it through their website thisdayonline.com. The pressent government in Nigeria had frozen and seized all our bank accounts both here in Nigeria and abroad. Thus consent l shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss in detail about this transaction. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund,l proposed a percentage of 30% of the total sum to you for the expected service and assistance, 15% for offsetting minor expenses incurred in the course ofthis transaction. Your urgent response is highly needed as to stopfurther contacts. All correspondence must be bythe email address above. l will give you my tel/fax numbers where you can contact me when l hear from you. l must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential whatever your decision while await your prompt response. NB: Because of the security being mounted on the members of my family, l have decided that this transaction exist between you and my nephew Aminu Sali. Remember to include your private tel/fax or mobile number for easy communication.Best Regards. DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA. * Not using my real name for reasons, how they got my real name I will never know. Half of the population of Nigeria (looks like it) like to scam people. Are they poor? I forget, cuz they are desperate for our money. 0 Share this post Link to post
