Mr.Clement Chi.
Senior manager,
Foreign Remittance,
Equity Bank of Nigeria PLC,
Lagos, Nigeria.
Reply To:[email protected]


Dear Friend,

I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my
colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my
department.

I work with the Equity Bank of Nigeria PLC; currently I am the senior
manager of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of
my bank. I was the account officer to one Mr. FORREST STEPHEN DeMARTINO
of Sidney, Ohio United States of America. Who was involved in an {AIR
CRASH} that occurred on Jan Thursday 9th 2003 With an air craft {US
Airways Express Flight 5481 } which crashed Wednesday at
Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport, killing all 21 aboard passengers.

I got your contact through the help of my sister-in-law that works with
the American Chambers of Commerce and Tourism, due I did not disclose
to her my humble intention for an honest foreigner like you, Having
noted the confidence reposed on your person by the sponsor of the
recommendation.

He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $25.5m,{Twenty Five
million, five hundred thousand USA Dollars}. Since the management got
the information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation
or his next of kin to come up and claim his money.

Below is his account information:
===================================
Equity Bank of Nigeria Plc
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 2342765709/784768
ROUTING NUMBER: 2342657765
CODE: EIB/LILLACWONG/99/05
BENEFICIARY'S NAME:MR. FORREST STEPHEN DeMARTINO
AMOUNT: $25.5 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
===================================
Unfortunately, From the day of his death till the time of this letter
none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.The banking
and financial law of Equity Bank of Nigeria PLC stipulates that if such
fund remained unclaimed after a period of (2)Two years, it will be
transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. On this
discovery.

sir, I and two other senior staffs now decided to do business with you
and release the money to you as the next of kin to Mr. FORREST STEPHEN
DeMARTINO for safety and subsequent disbursement. I will soon proceed
for my retirement leave this year, and I personally do not want this
fund to be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I
proceed on my retirement from the banking services this year.The need
for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned
by the fact that the customer Mr. FORREST STEPHEN DeMARTINO was a
foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir. We
have agreed that 30% of the Fund would be for you as foreign partner;
thereafter my colleague and I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated.

To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated
account, you will first apply to the bank as the next of kin of the
deceased, indicating your bank account number and location where in the
money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your acknowledgement indicating
your interest, I will send to you the text of the application that you
will send to the Equity Bank of Nigeria PLC authority for an approval
to submit your claims.

Send your reply through my direct and Private:
[email protected]
Indicate the following;
1.Your Full Names, Address Direct Fax and telephone numbers for
effective communication that this transaction needs.

2.Age and Occupation

Looking forward to urgently hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Clement Chi.

It's legit. Give them your money.

I always forward those letters to abuse@[server].
But usually those messages bounce back.

Some more imaginative people enjoy teasing those scammers by pretending to believe that they are honest, and continually pretending that they are on the verge of sending advance fees. Here is the story of a person who pretended to be a member of the Cult of Alien Visitation, and who asked the scammer to join his cult:

I get one of those emails every few months or so.

[Bulsajo]

Sure 411 scams are old old news, but here's a new twist- targetting US soldiers:

It's easy to understand how someone might fall for this:

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0821-01.htm
couple that with a showing of "Three Kings" and you've got yourself a scam.

[guangho]

I'm still waiting for my Japanese lotto winnings as well as the proceeds from the estate of the English couple on the Ivory Coast who were in that tragic car accident. If those don't work out, there is the English bank officer who "has to get rid of" 25 million pounds. Just you wait Mr. Higgins! I'm going to be somebody!

[Hyalucent]

I'm wondering if they keep track of the email accounts they send to. I've often wanted to try sending something back but not from a traceable email address.

Citizen EastWay, London-England

Reply to my private email ONLY: [email protected]

Dear Sir,
I am one of the transfer officers of Citizen EastWay London and my name is Mr. Janevski Zivko, a citizen of Macedonia. Please permit me to make this plea to you and if interested, do not hesitate to get back to me via my email immediately for further action.
Last 4 years, a group of men from Africa were able to move the sum of $15M (Fifteen Million Dollars Only) to our branch here in London and since then, none of them have shown up to lay claims on the said amount.

Several calls have been made to the owners and none was successful on the numbers given and now I have all the paper work to transfer the funds via our payment office in New York to your account without any trace as all documents will be destroyed by me immediately the transfer is taken place after 5 days of receiving your details.
Just few days I discovered from the right source that the owner of this money is dead and I have gone through his file and have discovered that he has no Next of Kin to inherit his money. I want to use you as the Next of Kin to enable me transfer the funds ($15M) to your account immediately.

Please this is very confidential and must not be discussed with anyone else as I have prepared all my documents to effect the transfer to your account once I have made all changes on the account. Also you will assure me that you will not disappear with the funds hence I make this plea in good faith. I have all the documents gotten from the Registry to put you in place as the Next of Kin.

The funds will be shared on 60-40 bases to avoid greed on both sides. If you are interested, get back to me with your contacts now and we shall get this done.
Please it is very important to send your response to my private email address:

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Firstly, I sincerely apologize for breaking into your privacy,
however I have decided to contact you through this medium due to the
urgency of this proposed business transaction. I got your contact
over the Internet during my search for assistance in this mutual
beneficial business transaction. I must first solicit your strictest
confidentiality in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature
as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and ��TOP SECRET��. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, considering the fact that we have not met each other before,
but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

I am Scott Phillip an Accountant by profession and also a Director
General in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Right
now I am presently the chairman of the Contract Awards/Review and
Payment Approvals committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation. My colleagues and I are presently looking for a very
reliable and God-fearing person to handle a highly confidential
business transaction for us, which involves the transfer of a huge
sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum CONFIDENCE. My
colleagues and I are top Officials of the Federal Government Contract
Review and Award Panel.

Our duties include Evaluation, Vetting, and Approval for payment of
Contract jobs done for the N.N.P.C etc. In order to commence this
business we solicit for your assistance with the transfer of the said
funds into any bank account you will provide for this business. The
source of these funds is as follows: In the first quarter of 2004
this committee was mandated to review and award contracts to the tune
of over US$400 million US dollars to a group of five firms for the
supply, construction and installation of Oil Pipe lines in Warri and
Port Harcourt environs. During this process my colleagues and I
decided and agreed among ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the
total contract sum from US$400 million to US$416 million with the
main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$16 million amongst
ourselves.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has since early this year approved
the sum of US$416 million for us as the contract payment, and the sum
of US$400 million has also been paid out to the foreign companies
concerned as contract entitlements for the various jobs done, but
since the companies are entitled to US$400 million dollars only, we
are now left with US$16 million dollars balance in the account which
we intend to disburse amongst ourselves quickly, but by virtue of our
positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do
this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct
Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign
accounts in our names while still in Government service, making it
impossible for us to acquire the money in our names right now.

Consequently, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust
and urgency by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas
partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$16
million. Hence I am writing you this letter. My Colleagues and I have
agreed that if you or your company can act as the beneficiary of
these funds on our behalf, you or your Company will retain 20% of the
total amount (US$16 million), while 60% will be for us (OFFICIALS)
and the remaining 20% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses
and Taxes incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this
transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture
is enormous.

In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You must however
NOTE therefore, that this transaction will be strictly based on the
following terms and conditions as we have stated below;

a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence
b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
Confidentiality
c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds
Once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail.
d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as
Instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20% from the
total amount.

Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe, legal and risk free
and we hope to conclude this transaction 7 bank working days from the
date of receipt of the necessary requirements from you. We are
looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your Total
Confidentiality in this transaction. There is no cause for alarm. I
give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with
us. Transactions like this have been successfully carried out in the
past by most Government executives. Here in my country there is great
economic and political disarray and thus looting and corruption is
rampant and the order of the day amongst high ranking government
officials, thus explaining why you might have heard stories of how
money is been looted out of Nigeria most especially by our past
Presidents, they are doing it for their own selfish interest while we
are doing it because we have to secure a good future for ourselves
and our families, so that when we retire from active service we do
not languish in poverty.

Presently we are grossly underpaid as compared to our counterparts in
the western world. My country is blessed with so many natural
resources but the revenue from these are being embezzled on a daily
basis by those in the corridors of power without a thought for
others. I will explain more to you when I have heard from you. Please
acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above email address.
I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending business
transaction when I have heard from you and also receive your
confidential telephone and fax numbers to enable me fax to you all
necessary information you need to know about our pending business
transaction. I will also forward to you copy of my International
passport so you know whom you are dealing with. Your urgent response
will be highly appreciated to enable us still transfer the funds
under this first financial quarter of the year 2005.

Thank you and God Bless.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Phillip

From the desk of Barriste .COLLINS ABU
ATTN Sir/Ma
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.
This is because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
However, I am , Barriste Collins personal Attorney to the late Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1996,my client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos
Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to tracehisrelatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about $27million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America dollars).Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55%to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by my email,<[email protected]> to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister COLLINS ABU

Hello, Dulouz!

Maybe you get so many scam letters because you open them.
I read somewhere that those scam artists somehow keep records on which recipients open their letters. Then they sell those recipients' addresses to other scam artists.

I get a lot of those little gems too. That's because I open them and then forward them to the abuse desk.

[dulouz]

Yea, thats a good point. I think its called a reciept. I'll try not to open them from now on. TY.

[tomato]

Dulouz, I'm kinda disappointed in you.
I was hoping that you would continue opening them so that you could forward them to the abuse desk.

[tomato]

Anyone ever gotten any message from a Nigerian hoaxter named Ugo Williams? He adds an interesting little twist!

Twice I''ve gotten messages from him saying that a multimillionaire named Robertson--which is my last name--died intestate as a result of an accident.

I wonder whether he has an alphabetical list or whether he has some sort of program which personalizes spam messages.

Anyway, I think if I had two multimillionaires in my family, I would know about it.
