I have Spoken! Leave the posts of pitty and join the others in bliss, untill I return...


note: by "posts of pitty" I don't mean these forum posts, I mean actual posts, like a scouting post n stuff like that.

I would not have fallen for it because I would not have read it.

[Little Faith]

I wouldn't fall for it because I am too lazy for all that paperwork involved.

heh yeah. ditto.

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.

Holy Crap, U read that far? I got to "are the fake" and I closed the window out of boredom.

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.

[Mordeth]

Got those scams too, although that was months ago. I just love server-side spam filters.

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.
