My father took me so special because i am motherless. and he shower all his love on me being his only child, and he promised me that he will never have another woman because he did not want me for any problem. but as fate may have it, my father died last year.

Meanwhile that he used my name as the next of kin in deposit of the fund.He also explained to me that it was because of this money that he was poisoned by his business enemies and that i should seek for foreign partner in a country of my choice where i would transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, such as;real estate investment or stock market investment.

Hello Ms Dikko,

I thank you for your email. As a successful business man and compulsive gambler I am keen to assist with your your business proposition and would very much like to assist you in this venture.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. My business partner is Steven Shakins he is also keen to assist you, I am 56 years old and together we own Shakin Crafts, a business which deals in carvings and engravings from foreign lands, I very much love my work. I employ 15 men in 15 different countries who do carvings and engravings for our business and each of these carvings can sell from $12000 to $98000, which is very profitable and enables me to pay my employees a very generous wage. It is therefore relatively easy for us to move very large sums on money in many currencies without attracting the attentions of any police. Mr Bodie and Mr Doyle famously of CI5 are now in my employment and ensure that all financial transactions are very discrete.

It would please me greatly to discuss this opportunity with you. I feel that doing some business with you will not only help my company but will also assist you with your education, residency and financial status.

We would however need to do some preliminary checks and due to the secure methods that we use to transfer money we would need a larger percentage of 23% and $5000 in Bearer Bonds paid upfront. These Bearer Bonds will be returned to you with an additional 60%, with Mr Stevens and I each keeping 15%. The remaining 10% will go to a third party who will 'invest' the Bearer Bonds.

I look forward to harmonising with you.

Kind regards.


Let's see if they bite........

I feel your being a tad harsh on Elizibeth (Leroy from Amsterdam) 23% !!!
thats a real scam, if I were Elizibeth I would politely tell you to go put your kind offer where the sun dont shine, I mean look at the life she has had so far! BOTH her parents are in wooden pajama's, Sh'e still only 22 with an unfortunate surname!, then she finds out she has ?10.5 million, but cant touch it, also her Fathers Business enemies are after her, she only has one city and guilds in woodworking, cant type, and she has asked god himself to bless you. I cant believe you could be so heartless with the poor lass.
How DO you sleep at night.

What makes me laugh about the fucking idiots that write these begging e-mails.

They are asking you to commit an illegal act, but give you in precise details their name, where they live, their parents names, and the exact amount of money.

Surely if what they were going to do was illegal they would try to keep some of this information secret.

Bastards

[Robches]

Some cunt keeps e-mailing me from South Africa to say I have won ?900,000 in a lottery I have never entered. I think I'll keep the inevitable admin fee in my pocket.

Check out www.419eater.com for some great baiting of these scam merchants, some of the stories are hilarious, and it's lovely to see these twisting little fuckers get turned over.

Its even being done via phonecalls now.
Just watched a US TV item about the various scams.
Apparently people who fall for it are called mugus by the perps.
Google "mugu" and there's lot of scam baiting sites and pics of the scammers posing for silly photos.

The response:

Hai,

Thank you very much for your mail message.

I am very glad as you have provide yourself to assist me and without any further excuse i will not hasten to allow the persentage which you requested warras you will not betray me at last,Then if this your resquested persentage will engged you not to think of betrayal i am fully with you in good maner.

Another thing is this if i may ask you,Will you be able to come down here so that you can visit the bank where this money is being deposited by my beloved late father,So that you can have what ever round table with them and to make sure that you are with them before the transfer.Then the type of your business i hope it is very very profitable business like as you explained and i will abide in what ever you suggested hence everything will workout accordingly,What you have to do now is that you should send your telephone and fax numbers and the idea of some on front payment you will discuss that with the bank where this money is being deposited because the bank promised me that who ever that i'm dealing with that they must know the kind of person before they will allow to transfer this money for my security reasons and with the advise i believe that it is a professional advise to me due to my age and to avoid falling into victim.

Please position yourself whether your coming or not then you send your telephone and fax numbers with your full address for trust because i will take it to the bank for them to investigate you very well whether you really mean what you are saying or you came to cheat me.

Expecting to hear from you soonest

My reply

Hi Ms Dikko

I am afraid that due to business I have to attend to namely the opening of an exhibition by our top sculptor Dawn French at the Prestigious Jaffa Gallery, I will be unable to travel at the moment. However my business partner Steven Shakins will be able to. I have enclose a picture of ourselves (I am on the left of the picture). I would appreciate it if you could do the same.




I will speak to our associate Tom Cookson to make arrangements for his visit and will send verifiable details for your bank to check out.

We are happy to make a deposit with an independant third party of $2000 as a token of good faith and so that you feel that we are genuine. For this we will need bank details and a SWIFT Code.

Do you know many artists in your country? if so please let me know as I desperately need to employ two more sculptors.

Kind regards




The verifiable details are of course fecking huge corrupt email attachments (BMP, GIF, JPG, TIFF, PNG, DOC, XLS, RTF files)
