(URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL)

(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS

Dear sir,

We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
One hundred and Fifty two million United States
Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa, I want to ask
you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person
who will be capable and fit to provide either an
existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end for this important
business trusting in you and believing in God that
you will never let me down either now or in future.

I am Mr, Ebube Chi,the Auditor General of prime
banks, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of
the account died without a [heir] hence the money
is floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner
of this account is Mr. Adams.C. Nicole, a foreigner,
and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. and
no other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Adams.C. Nicole until his death was the manager
Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.

We will start the first transfer with fifty two
million [$52,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account,

The amount involved is (USD 152M) One hundred and
Fifty two million United States Dollars, only I want
to first transfer $52,000.000 [fifty two million
United States Dollar from this money into a
safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as
a foreigner because this money can not be approved to
a local person here, without valid international
foreign passport, but can only be approved to any
foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in us
dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Adams.C.
Nicole is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be
approved into a foreign a/c

However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from the Girl
who operates computer, I am revealing this to you
with believe in God that you will never let me down in
this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any account
of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we
fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.

I need your full co-operation to make
this work fine. because the management is ready to
approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you,
upon your positive response and once I am convinced
that you are capable and will meet up with
instruction of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,
never let me down.

With my influence and the position of the bank
official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
any place and to build confidence you can come
immediately to discuss with me face to face after
which I will make this remittance in
your presence and three of us will fly to your country
at least two days ahead of the money going into the
account.

I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address.

Yours truly

Mr,Ebube Chi.

Do you know my name?
How did you get my address?

===============================
His speedy Reply:

Dear,Alex J.

I received your mail and I am very willing and earger
to do this business with you and we are going to
succeed if you follow my instructions accordingly.

My confidential secretary only got your contact from
the internet and I am sure she doesn't know you before
being that I told her to get me a foreigners contact
address with whom i can transact this business with,
because the original operator of the A/C is a
foreigner and this money can only be approved into a
foreign beneficiaries A/C only.

Considering your positive responses and cooperation in
this business, infact I am very very interested to do
this business with you in full confidence trusting
that you will never let me down in future.

This business will be completed within Seven days from
the date of the receipt of your A/C details and
subsequent approvals from the Foreign Exchange control
division. You should not tell your bank that money is
coming until I finish processing of all documents to
show your bank that this money is clean money from
genuine source. To avoid your bank asking you early
questions that you may not be able to answer so you
should not alert.

After the processing of all Foreign Payment documents,
and when the money is ready to be paid into your A/C,
I will fly to meet you at least 2-3days ahead of the
money going into your A/C then we will sign the
binding agreement, after your bank must have been
satisfied with the original documents which I will
bring along with me to your country to show your bank.

My fear now is the security of this money in your
custody once transferred into your A/C because I don't
know you before nor your capability and facilities to
handle this large amount, what is your age and
profession? I really want to know more of you and I
will want you to keep it very confidential at all
times and also to be maintaining constant
communications with me knowing that this business
should take precedence over any other business for the
mean time.

Now I need the A/C information and your private tele
nos as a need may arise either to call you in the day
or night as occasion warrants. Finally you have to be
following instructions which I will be getting from
the "OUR' insider' in the bank who is the main Key to
the success of this business without much questions
until we see face to face because 'too many questions
can sink a ship.

I will be waiting to receive the neccessary
informations from you regarding the informations
immediately.

Yours,

Ebubechi.

You must understand that my entire life savings is in this account, and I
need some assurance this is a legitimate deal.

Thank you

geez, this guy cannot be legit. i would lead him on and see what he says. what i am wondering is why someone would write so much if hes is not legit. maybe he is.

 

I was trying to figure out the scam, and one possible idea that comes to mind is "Identity Theft"

So far he has asked for my name and telephone number,
i'm sure eventually he will ask for a credit card number for "validation" LOL LOL

This email prob went out to 100,000 people, remember he only needs a few suckers to make money.

I am going to give him a fake name, and my cell number,
I will post his next email here, I too am curious to see what kind of scam this is.

Habibi

 

he seems very intent on your "private" ph no. make sure there is no way he could charge calls from your phone to, oh say like a 900 number, of which he could be the proprieter. you could get stuck with a very large ph bill.
have fun.

 

See the U.S. State Department information at the URL below. It is in PDF format. What you find out is that this has been going on for a decade at least; the only thing new is the use of email.

If I were you Habibi, I would contact the RCMP, or local cops, ASAP

Its just an over seas scam the use to obtain account numbers and clear them out. Ive gotten one in the mail saying they wanted to transfer 1 Billion to my account. I just sent it to the FTC and went on.

 

You've got to be kidding me ...

Google search of "TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD ONE HUNDRED..."

I gave up going through the pages and pages ...

 

LOL good search.

 

I posted that already. Sorry but I just had to post this picture!

Habibi.....I'm not sure I would have replyed to that email.

These guys that run these scams are sending out thousands and thousands of emails, not neccassarly (sp?) hoping that someone is going to volunteer up their bank account (although that would be a bonus for them if it happened), but that someone will reply so that they know they have any active email address. That is really all they need to "steal" your idenity. Plus they can then turn around and sell your email address to ad agencies, legally I might add.

Same scam can run on some junk email that you get and at the bottom of the email it will say "to have your name taken off this email list click here and type no in the subject line" I had a few of those emails hit my inbox four or five days in a row so I clicked on the line and type no. Next two months I start seeing 10 and 15 dollar miscellaneous charges showing up on one of my credit cards. Lucky for me the credit card company reimbursed me and I closed that account. Credit card company could not trace the transactions.

Make sure you keep a close eye on your accounts, I would hate to see something unfortuante like this happen to ya!

 

If i don't recognize the address it came from, i don't even open it. It gets deleted right away. Besides.....if it's THAT important, they can either call me or send it through USPS.

 

Waturner, you actually filled out the e-mail application with your correct info on it? I bet you've been getting a bunch of junk mail in the mailbox outside. Why would an e-mail company need your vitals? All they are going to do is sell them to somone else.

On hotmail my name is fdgfddsffsd
I live in argentina
and my address is 666 devil drive.

I havent gotten any jjunkmail like i did my last.

 

SO how much you think I can get for that info?
