Dear xxxxxxx, (was my last name)

I am making this contact with you in good faith. I got your email
address from the Foreign Department in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Office. I am working with the Standard Trust Bank Plc,Apapa Branch Lagos.

virgin bank account where we can successfully secure the sum of $10.5
million (ten million five hundred thousand united states dollars).I happen

xxxxxx,a foreign contractor with the DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES
NIGERIA.

On January 30th, 2001, our customer Late.Mr.Jeremiah xxxxxxx ,his wife,
and three children were involved in a plane crash and the whole family
died in this fatal air crash On January 30th,Since then I have made
several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended Relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you.so that you will assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by our bank where these huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the account he have with us,Where the deceased had an account Valued
at US$10,5m (Ten million five hundred thousand U.S Dollars Only).


Recently, our bank have issued me a notice to provide the next of kin

funds in the account of the deceased customer will be declared dormant,
unserviceable and without a living Next Of kin, if i fail to trace and
provide the bonafide Next of Kin to the account within the next 14
banking days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now, I hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
bank account of the deceased, since you have the same last name so that
the proceeds of this account valued at ($10.5 million US Dollars) can
be transferred to you and then you and me Can share the money, thus:70%
to me and 25% to you and 5% for any expences and tax payment.


All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. I look

The damn nerve of some people.... Googled the name, and found out that Jeremiah xxxxxx was a woodshop worker......in 1775!
There are no other references to him at all. Surely there would be a obit or newspare story if this was legit.

 

Typical scam...different flavor...Unless you really do have rich relatives..

By the time I got to the end of the first sentence I knew it was spam. Why do people bother reading this tripe? It matters not what words they type, they will make up absolutely anything that is capable of eliciting the desired response.

 

I don't have it now, but I know there is a State Department web site that you can report things like this to...maybe someone here has it..

 

I found it in my wife's email, and she's not the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes. I just hope that she recognized it as a scam...

 

disable the 'preview' feature of your Outlook or Outlook Express so you don't see the content of an email unless you open it. Then when your email comes in you delete every email using unknown or unrecognizable names on the Sender or the Recipient lines, without ever seeing the content.

 

Thanks for the advice, Rocky, but she uses Yahoo. I don't think that she really was dumb enough to respond, but one never knows.....

 

Not to say anything bad about my fiance, but that is something that she might respond to. I'm not saying she would, but she might. She will open every email and read them even though I tell her not to. Anytime she's online, she hits the subscribe buttons on webpages all the time. Or if she is filling out a form and it asks if she wants special offers from other sites, she says yes. So now , not only does the website she was on have her info, bt so do all of the other sites. She gets 5-15 emails a day that are 99% junk, where I may get 1 every 2 or 3 days on my screen name. I keep telling her not to open every email, but she does anyways.

Anyone who falls for that type of scam deserves to be taken for what they have.

 

Yeah, pretty unlikely that you would inherit 10 million via an email. I can't believe that some people could fall for that.

 

Where in N FL are you? Do you mud?? I need someone to go with...

 

I'm in the Jacksonville/Orange Park area. My truck is only a 2wd, so I don't really go mudding unless I didn't intend to go mudding. Which of course has happened several times where I have almost got stuck. I wouldn't even know where to go to mudding.

 

Oh, I'm about 20 miles north of Jax in GA. There's no one around here from this site, except around Atlanta, and that's just too far to drive...

 

there was a special on those scams on 20/20 a couple of months ago....90% of them originate in nigeria where they are called "409" scams... they even have songs about it..joking how it is easy to steal money from the "stupid americans"..... If i get one more i'm going to start a 30-06 scam...

 

Just had to laugh at that! Pretty funny 98.

 

Oh hell yeah!!!!! It's the opportunity of a lifetime!!!!!!!!
