I just love getting these. The scam is very simple – to try to buy very heavy merchandise using stolen credit cards. However, you have to arrange for the shipping with their preferred (fake) shipping company. You’ll be asked to pre-pay the shipping cost with Western Union and add that to the credit card bill. Then you ship the product, the credit card is denied and you’re out the product and the shipping costs. What makes these so amusing is that the scammers are so desperate and dumb that they will go along with anything you say. So they’re quite fun to fuck with. This one is from “Nick” who apparently confuses my name with the product.

It’s $5.95 per pound

It’s $8.95 per pound

Indonesian Clay that has a high plasticity due to naturally occurring enzymes and phyto-nutrients
It a bit expensive at $12.99 per pound.

Thank you for the response, what will be the subtotal cost of 600 pounds of the Mongolian Clay

Nick.

Total cost is $5,370

Thank you for the response once again, Am sending them to ( Haiti ) So, I will like you to contact ( Saxasea  Shipping Co. ) with the weight, sizes, quantity, pick up and the delivery  location and ask them what will be the shipping charges to ship the clays to ( Port-Au-Prince, Haiti ). And get back to me with the subtotal cost of all the clays and the shipping charges so that, I will provide you with my major credit card information for you to run through all charges.

The shipping company email address is saxaseashipping@live.com

1st Ave Rue Martelly Seïde
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, HT6110

Thank you,
Nick.

Sorry Nick,

I talked it over with our insurance department and I’m going to have to pass on your order. We’re not shipping to Haiti right now. Our last batch of clay was stolen by looters and never made it to the buyer. When it was found a week later most of it had already been made into poorly made pinch pots and wobbly coil mugs. The insurance company said that since the clay had been modeled, glazed, and fired it was no longer the same product and therefor no longer covered by our policy! Apparently there is a black market for everything including ceramic supplies. Haiti is too unstable right now.

Thanks,

Clay Butler
Owner of Caverns O’Clay

Thank you for the response once again, I don’t have problem when it come’s to using this shipping co. They have been handle my shipment for the past years and they do handle my shipment very safety. so just go ahead and contact them and get me the shipping quote so that we can proceed with the payment. I can sing a document that will show if the goods departure from your location after the shipping co. have pick up the goods, it’s my own risk.

Whoa! I so glad Mr. Sanusi was a bit suspicious and stopped these impersonators from getting my inheritance. I guess it really does pay to bank with the Mother of All Commercial Banks®.

Attn: Beneficiary,

PAYMENT NOTIFICATION.

Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you. Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Mr. Lamido Sanusi, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

I am officially contacting you today because your Inheritance Funds were Re-deposited into the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right beneficiary. Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria.

Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu. I had to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were here to Collect the Inheritance Bill Sum of (US$4.5M) which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf.

At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me that you asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. In fact this was the biggest shock that this Bank have ever received so far because your Inheritance Funds is still in the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN, yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf without notifying us.

We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, at least you should have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank.

They actually tendered some Vital Documents, which proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of these Fund. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my consent.

Here are the Documents, which they tendered to this Bank

1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUNCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.

Actually, these Documents, which they tendered to this Noble Bank, is a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally, I told them to come back and they promised to come back.

As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the Recognized Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds.

Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf. In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required to respond immediately to this email: with your full name, address and phone number for reconfirmation and immediate action.

You are to call me immmediately you receive this email with my direct cell phone for more information on the way forward +234-809-589-5441

This is certainly a bold statement which I think is the point. If you’re going to lie, then lie big. This triggers the “no one would lie about something so outrageous and that is so easy to double check for accuracy – therefore it must be true” response. Although, the one I got for Luciano Pavarati’s estate is most certainly true and I’m anxiously awaiting my $10.5 million. Any day now dude!

I get so many Nigerian 419 scams that I just don’t bother posting them but Miss Jenny has a really interesting story that’s convoluted even by the standards of the genre. Her parents and three sisters were poisoned by their enemies. But even though she escaped the poisoning  because she was at school that day, she somehow ended up in a coma for two weeks. Her late father left her $5.2 million do with as she pleases. Fair enough, but she wants to give me, a total stranger, 20% of the money to help her invest it. Huh? She say she lives in “fear and bondage” which is something many people pay good money to achieve and says the real reason she’s giving me 20% is “because it looks stupid for me trying to confide in a total stranger I never met before”. Well yes, that is true, it does look stupid, but why pay someone for the privilege of looking stupid?

HONEST SOMEONE 

During the civil and political crisis in our country, my parents together with my
three sisters were poisoned by heartless elements. Fortunately for me, I was in
when this tragedy took place to our family. I was in coma for almost two weeks.
But I thank the almighty God because I never knew that I could support the shock
of losing almost my whole family. That is by the way. Right now I am still here
in Cote d’Ivoire with but very unsafe for me. I’m living in great fear and bondage. 

I intend leaving this country as soon as possible but only one thing kept me back. 

My late father has deposited with one of the prime bank the sum of money,
$5.2Million USD, for onward transfer to any bank abroad .But unfortunately
he did not complete the transaction before he died. I have met with the bank
director who has certified my claims to the money. I have all the documents
concerns this money in the bank; I have mapped out 20% out of the total money for
your help and assistance because it looks stupid for me trying to confide
in a total stranger I never met before. By instinct I am convinced you
are an honest person and you have the capacity to handle this transaction with me. 

As soon as it is done, I will come over to meet you and spend
the rest of my live in your country. I wish to invest the money
into estate business etc. I promise to greatly compensate you for any
assistance you may offer us. I do not know how you may feel about this
but I want you to take this very serious and confidential.

Down here, I am living in fear because enemies of my parents
are hunting for me. 

Please let me know your mind concerning my proposal to you.

Miss Jenny

This ones fun. The former Governor of some Nigerian state made  some money (oh, about 29 million) while in office and now it’s sitting in a trunk marked “Family Treasure” and “Diplomatic Luggage” in some bank. What I like most about these 419 scams is how they play off American ignorance and prejudice. If this was from the former Governor of say Alabama, and this trunk filled with 29 million dollars was sitting in a local Chase branch, you’d laugh your ass off. But hey, this is Africa and you know how crazy and backwards they are, so it’s totally possible this could be true. Suckers.

I am chief james ibori, former governor in one of niger delta oil rich
delta state in Nigeria from 1999 to 2007.

I am in desperate need of your help, I got your email address from a
friend in the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Ministry,
I made some money while in office, and the total sum of Twenty Nine
Million, Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only
(US$29,900,000.00) For more information about my profile, please take your
time to visit my official website at

www.saharareporters.com/real.../6066-james-ibori-arrested-in-dubai.html

I have successfully moved this fund to a Security and finance institution
in madrid, spain through the assistance of one my former aide,
who is now the new Director-General (DG) of the Nigerian Diplomatic Courier.

The fund was deposited with the finance institution as "Family Treasure"
and in a trunk box, marked diplomatic luggage, and it was deposited with a
foreign name,Mr. Raul Thompson as the beneficiary to avoid being traced by the present
government of my country and united kingdom police,who are trying so hard
to extradict me to uk

I cannot front any of my relative(s) or aides for the claim of this fund
from the finance institution since it was deposited with a foreign name as
the beneficiary, neither will I front myself, as I'm being monitored by the Anti-graft
Agency of my country.

Hence, my decision to solicit for your assistance in this regard in order
to front you as the trustee to Mr. Raul Thompson on whose name the fund
was deposited.

Upon your acceptance of my proposal, I shall have my family attorney
contact you for further directives on how to effect the change of your
name to read the beneficiary of this fund,
which shall facilitate the claim on your name as the trustee to Mr. Raul
Thompson, and you shall be duly advice on how to spilt the fund into
several accounts in your country when transferred to you.

I have considerably agreed to give you 35% of this fund as a compensation
for whatever assistance that you shall give in this regard,
10% set aside to take care of whatever expenses that we may likely incure
at the course of retrieving the fund and the transfer to you,
while the remaining 55% shall remain in an account that you shall set up
in your country pending when I shall need it.

I do hope that I can trust you with this fund, as it is entirely all I
have left, which I plan to start life again when all this problem will be
over.
And most importantly, if this transaction is executed perfectly, I shall
come over to Nigeria for other business negotiations when i am free,
especially on the issue of private business empire.

In your response, please do not forget to provide your full name(s),
address, phone number and any copy of your identification,
as required by my family attorney for the facilitation of the necessary
paper works.

Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,
chief james ibori

Not sure what is “nobel” about fraud but hey, what do I know about all this fancy pants banking lingo? Not sure what they mean “excess profit” either. Isn’t that just a bigger profit? I didn’t know there was a cap on profit and anything above that is excess and free for the taking. The banking world is soooo complicated!

Dear friend,
My name is Mr. John Gelsthorp. I am the accountant of the
FinBank Plc Victoria Island Lagos. I am  married with two kids.

I am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer
of US$3,800,000.00 (Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the accountant
made as profit last year. I have already submitted an approved end
year report for  2008 and also submitted report of first quarter
of this year 2009 to my Head Office here in Lagos and they will never
know of this Excess. I have placed this fund on a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT
without a beneficiary.

As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to
this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to
receive this money into your bank account. I intend to part with
30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to
stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. 

It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated
bank account anywhere you feel safe. All I need from you is to
stand as the original depositor of this fund.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response. 

Best regards,
Mr. John Gelsthorp

Come on now. A $30 million dollar life insurance policy? It simply doesn’t exist anywhere, and if it did, what would the premiums be, like $10,000 a month? It’s not mathematically practical to write a $30 million dollar policy in case of death. For it to work the premiums would have to be enormous and if you had the money to pay those premiums, you wouldn’t need a life insurance policy to begin with!

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.

My name is Mr. John Chan; I am the Senior Claim Adjuster for
our Insurance Company.

During our last primary audit in 2008, I found out in my department
that one of our clients who insured his properties and life was dead
for about two years that was in 2008. Since then, nobody has comes
forward to claim his insurance premium which amounted to
Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00).

Therefore, I am seeking for a reliable and trustworthy person
that can act as the deceased next of kin to make claim for this
above stated premium. Note that I shall provide all necessary
assistance to make sure this premium is being paid out to you.
All documents regarding this claim will be forwarded to the
Bank for presentation and approval. If this goes well with you,
we shall disburse the funds in accordance to an agreed percentage 50/50%.
Note that this is absolutely confidential and upon your response,
I shall explain explicitly to you for more understanding. 

Please Endeavour to contact me through my private email indicating
your interest in this business proposition.
Private email:  john_chan0011@yahoo.com.hk

Yours truly,
John Chan

I find it amusing that they recommend transferring the 25 million through an online account as that would draw less attention from the authorities. I don’t think my online account even has enough spaces in the transfer form to write 25,000,000.00.

Why yes, it’s a scam of course.

Support the Earthquake Recovery Efforts in Haiti

On March 22, The JOFRANK org visited Haiti to assess relief and recovery efforts, and work with organizations and people on the ground, who continue to face devastation in the wake of the January earthquake.In the midst of profound challenges, we saw the astounding resilience, courage, and hope of the Haitian people. We saw their fierce resolution to rebuild their communities, their neighborhoods, their cities –– and their nation.

We’re more determined than ever to help the people of Haiti not just rebuild, but to “build back better.” The donations Fund will be utilize to work with partners to assist Haiti’s long-term recovery every step of the way.Already, Haitian’ve received more than 200,000 contributions donated by individual, org and companies, which are supporting critical efforts such as getting essential medical equipment to critically injured patients at a 240-bed tent hospital; supplying a Port-au-Prince clinic that’s been transformed into a camp, serving 5,000 patients with medical care, food, and water; providing emergency shelter kits to help protect families against the elements; and delivering relief supplies including water purification tablets, hygiene kits, mosquito nets, and temporary latrines.

These efforts are only the beginning. The needs will continue to be urgent as the rainy season sets in, bringing new threats for those still homeless.And even as the immediate relief phase continues, we are looking ahead to long-term reconstruction. We are insisting on sound rebuilding and economic growth plans that will lead to a better life for the Haitian people.With the love and hope of neighbors and especially through their own hard work and resilience, the Haitian people can have hope for the future. A better future means an improved infrastructure, better schools, cleaner energy, and improved access to health care. A better future especially means creating jobs and economic opportunity for the people of Haiti, so they can emerge from this devastation a stronger, more secure nation that can stand on its own two feet.Help us chart Haiti’s long-term recovery by contributing what you can. Even if you have already given, we ask you to consider another donation. and hence you are intending to give please dont hesitate to make this donation, it means alot to the country nomattter how big or small your donation is.As they say in Haiti: “Many Hands Lighten the Load.” Every donation will make an enormous difference.

The more I read this the more amusing it becomes. This is so loaded with red flags how could it possibly work? I’ll tell you how. There’s going to be at least several people who have already been scammed of thousands of dollars when this email arrives. It promises to get your money for real this time but you need to stop communication with the  previous “miscreant elements” who have been jerking you around lest you blow the whole deal and lose everything. Finally, the victims says, now I’m dealing with some honest people and can get my money!

This of course brings up an interesting question. Is this the same scammer or is it a different scammer trying to poach victims from his competitors? Hmmmm, I’m intrigued.

These spammers need to update their scams. He refers to 2003 as being “five years ago”. Sloppy, sloppy sloppy. His client is also an Iraqi with a personal oil well just like Besem Faruak who coincidentally was also killed in the war and has no next of kin to claim his money in a Hong Kong back. If I was a wealthy Iraqi businessman with a personal oil well by my house I think I’d form a corporation to hold the title to the well and most definitely move to another country. Apparently it’s just too dangerous to hang out by your personal oil well. And what’s up with the name “Haider Hanoon” isn’t that a Star Wars character?

Hello My Friend,

I am Richard Tang, None Executive Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Hong Kong.

An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, Five years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil-well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration seven years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner gives you the priviledge to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased had no relation all his family died with him during the war and I can not use my relation because its not accepted here in Hong Kong. Also I am very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this deal and all that I need for the time been is your willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the next one weeks. I like to inform you that I got your email account from my country commerce center.

What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure that it passes through all international banking laws regards to this I will take care of all the expenses and the cost of retaining the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this transaction is to accept to stand in as the only existing relative of my deceased client and you will have to set up offshore account that can accomodate these funds with my principal bank which I will give you information later once we finalize this deal. We will share 50/50 of the total sum.

Further more I sending you my personal information.. below;
Name: Mr. Richard Tang
Address:39A Morrison Hill Road,Hong Kong.
Fax: +852-3014-4758
Mobile No: +8821633303563

I hope that the above is well clear to you,if so kindly send me the following;
1. Your Full Name:
2. Your Current Home Address:
3. Your Personal Phone Number:
4. Occupation:
5. A scanned copy of your means of identification Either International Passport,Driver’s License or Working ID card.

Mind you your names and address will be use by my Attorney to prepare the needed documents that will back you up as the sole beneficiary of my deceased client funds while I shall contact you with your phone number for further discussions.

Once again thanks for your interest and willingness to partner with me in pulling out my late client funds from my bank,I am
anticipating to reading from you
very soon.

Sincerely
Mr. Richard Tang.

This is another one that builds upon the Nigerian 419 scam. This email assumes that you already got involved in one of these scams and this is the “remedy”. Alternately it hopes that you are greedy and are more than willing to pretend you are the person they are referring to to get the money. My favorite part is the issuing of your $14.6 million dollars in the form of an ATM card that quite amazingly has a daily limit of $15,000. Since ATM dispense in twenties, and you can only do one withdrawal per day, that means it will take you 973 days to withdrawal all the money from the account and each time you do you will walk away with a stack of 75,000 twenty dollar bills. Besides this being completely impossible as most banks have daily limits well below that, how long before word gets around that there is this guy who withdrawals $15,000 every day from this one ATM and therefore he’s a great target for thieves? I’d give it one month tops before you are kidnapped, beaten, raped, and kept in a basement in chains only to be let out once per day to make your withdrawal. And what’s up with writing the whole email in Title Case and the avoidance of periods?

There is a whole new style of 419 scams. This example represents the second wave of 419 scams in that they assume you’re already familiar with the scam. So this attempts build on that knowledge and convince you that this is the remedy for the scam. The spammer assumes:

1. You’ve already been jerked around by a scammer and are looking for justice.

2. You are greedy and want to get in on the free reconciliation/settlement cash and are more than eager to play along with the fraud.

Poor Tony Smith. He’s a talented guy but some 419 spammers have decided to use his totally legit business to front their scam. Unfortunately there is nothing Tony can do about it. Just don’t blame Tony.

This one rocks! His business partner tells him to “go to hell” and leaves behind his share of the deal which totals $10 million. Suuuure, happens all the time.

Hello Dear,

I am Mr. Dan Mustaf, 

My purpose of writing to you is this: there is a business deal of
Ј25Million that I did with one Mr. Mohammed Abdul which we agreed
that he will take 30% while I take 70% now I have transferred Ј10Million
to him and he collected the money 7days ago, he called me three today ago
and say I should go to hell that I will never see him again. 

The balance of the deal which is Ј15million was transferred four days
ago to one of the Arab country which I will tell you as we go on. 

I don’t have any one now who can receive this Ј15Million and the
must difficult thing for me now is I don’t trust any one any more.

I want to see if you can help me in getting and keeping the money
till I come I can give you 30%. If you are capable reply me now
with your name and your phone number so that we can discus before we proceed.

Mr. Mustaf

These US soldiers are just finding all sorts of cool stuff! He should definitely hook up with Sergeant Brian Horn and Capt. John Nielsen and ask him how they got the money moved to the United States. I’m sure they would have a great time swapping some wild stories.

Hello,

My name is Sgt. Marriot Troy Brown, I am an American soldier serving with the 3rd infantry division in Iraq.

I have summed up courage to contact you to seek your co-operation in moving some funds from here.

The said fund in US currency was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse during a rescue operation in one of the former military dictator’s top men who died while trying to escape,I managed to conceal some of this fund with the help of a colleague.

Now that we are out of town and restricted to our camp till we pullout finally,I have been able to get the money, which runs close to fifteen million dollars,carefully packaged and carefully packaged and moved safely out of troubled spot and spotlight to a British security courier company office which enjoys diplomatic immunity here.THEY DON’T KNOW THE REAL CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE BUT BELIEVE THAT IT CONTAINS PERSONAL EFFECTS WHICH BELONG TO AN AMERICAN MEDICAL DOCTOR SOLDIER WHO DIED IN A RAID HERE IN IRAQ WHO BEFORE GIVING UP, URGED ME TO DELIVER THE LUGGAGE TO HIS FAMILY IN THE STATE.

With our impending return to State,I have decided to move the package (fund) out now, and this is where I need you to act as the supposed relatives of the deceased and thereby receive the package.

I have found a very safe way of getting this package to you at home and will discuss it upon your response provided I can be assured it will be safe till I return.I want you to indicate YOUR INTEREST to go on with me,and how much percentage you want for your co-operation.

Above all,I cannot over-emphasize the importance of confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of this mail.Whether or not you are interested,do not discuss this with anybody as it will spell doom to us here.

Do respond promptly so I can furnish you with more details.

Regards,
Marriot Troy Brown.

So Mr Gardner dies and they can’t find a single relative to give the money to so they turn to the web to find random people to pretend they are his long lost family. Suuuure, totally makes sense. And don’t call me “Att”. That’s “Mr.Att” to you sir!

Dear Att:

I am Barrister Bernard Montez a solicitor at law. the personal attorney to Mr Kenneth
Gardner,a national of your country,who used to work with British/Dutch Shell
petroleum-development Company Pty in Cote d ‘Ivoire. after referred as my client. On the 21st of April 2005, my client, his Wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along sandton express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.

I am contacting 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 claim his contract sum which he executed under Cote d’Ivoire National Petroleum Corperation (SNPC) before his sudden death. Particularly, the Federal Ministry of finance (FMF) and the Finance Company where the deceased had his contract fund valued at about [76,000.000.00USD][Seventy Six million United States Dollars] has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for almost 2years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at [76,000.000.00USD][Seventy Six million United States Dollars] can be paid to your bank account. I will acquire all necessary legal documents in your name that can be used to backup any claim we may make. We will start the first transfer with Thirty Six million[$36,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account.

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

I am looking for someone who has profitable investments ideas and experience. Someone whom I can heartedly impose full trust and confidence to stand as an Investor to receive the fund as Annual Investment. Also I will need your assurance that you will not try to BETRAY me or RUN AWAY with the funds when the funds is finally deposited in your country. All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to you prior to your acceptance. Meanwhile, I have worked out the modalities and technicalities whereby the funds can be claimed. Most importantly, you will be required to:

(1). Stand as the beneficiary to receive the funds as I will present you before the firm.

(2). Receive the funds into a business/personal bank account in your country.

(3). 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.

If you are interested, Please indicate your positive interest immediately by return email, for us to proceed with full details of transaction. Remember this transaction must be kept absolutely confidential. I guarantee again that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me to enable us discuss further. I am reposing my confidence in you now beliving that you will never let me down.
Respectfully Yours,

Barrister Bernard Montez (esq.)

I like this one. The come-on is that we already have a business relationship and this is my fair share from that previous deal. So unlike the fake lotto winnings or the next of kin scams this one assumes I know that this is a mistaken identity situation. The hopes is that in my greed I’ll play along to get “my” money. Anyone who get’s shafted by this one deserves it. Brilliant!

Good Day,

I am using this opportunity to thank you for your effort toward our unfinished
transfer of fund into your account; you may not understand why this mail
came to you. But if you do not remember me, you might have received an email
from me in the past regarding a multi-million-dollar business proposal that was
not finalizes by us. Fortunately I have successfully transferred the Cheque out
of the company through the help of someone else. Due to your effort, sincerity,
courage and trustworthiness you showed during the process of the transaction,
I want to compensate you, and show my gratitude to you with the sum of $900,000.00.

Therefore, i have deposited an international certified bank draft worth about
$900,000.00 on your behalf and also settle the delivery commission.
My dear friend, I will like you to contact the Finance House Instructor
MR. MARVIN JAMES for the collection of the certified bank draft.
I have authorized him to release the international certified bank draft to
you as soon as you contact him regarding this issue.

soon as you contact them.

It doesn’t make sense. My email address was put into a pool of 2.5 million other addresses. Instead of just selecting one email address as the winner, they assigned everyone a set of lotto numbers. Then they had a lotto drawing and then checked if anyone’s numbers matched. Huh? And as usual they want you to keep this “confidential” for your protection. Ha, ha! Pity the fool that thinks these email  lotteries are legit.

The concept is simple. Hack into someones email account and send this out to everyone in their address book and hope one of them takes the bait. I don’t know Stephen but I’ve gotten these from friends whose accounts who’ve been hacked (usually through a Phishing scheme). I guess he was so distraught and his eyes so full of tears he couldn’t finish the word family when he was typing. Alternately, these are sometimes just sent out to hundreds and thousands of people randomly in hopes that one of them has a friend named Stephen who might be on vacation in Europe.

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes,my fam and I came down here to Wales,United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

We’ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in less than 3hrs from now but we’re having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won’t let us leave until we settle the bills,i’m freaked out at the moment.

Stephen

I’m a Thunderball winner! Fuck yeah! What a kick ass name for a lottery! And I’m totally stoked that they are “fully supported and powered by Google”. What a totally fucking awesome line of meaningless bullshit! Yeahaaaaa!

This was sooo funny. I get an email asking to buy a Pop Corn popper. Obviously as scam. Most likely involving fake or stolen credit cards. So I decided to have a little fun. My responses are in RED. Not only does the Frozen Ham machine not phase him, he’s willing to pay full price!

—————————————————————

So sorry Mark,

I just checked my inventory and the last PopMaster X has already been committed to another buyer and the Pop-O-Matic 2000 is our last floor model. New shipments will arrive in two weeks. However we do have a refurbished frozen ham machine for only $850 (they normally sell for $1,250). If your church group likes pop corn they will probably like frozen ham as well. It’s a new treat that’s becoming very popular. The machine freezes a full size ham and then you connect the ham to a device that runs it through a shredder. It’s just like Hawaiian Shaved ice except it’s ham. Kit comes with 12 flavors of syrup and 24 boxes of cups as well to get you started.

Let me know if you’d like to proceed with this order instead.

Thanks,

Clay

I must say I was quite amused when I read that the money is a “very tidy sum”. Is that banker’s lingo? After that it gets even funnier. This one’s worth a complete read. I mean, come on, anyone who’s ever opened a checking account knows that this is not how banking works.

Dear Friend, 

I work as an international auditor for a reputable Bank (ALM) Asset Liability
Managerial department monitoring five branches including Singapore, Belgium
and Netherlands. I have taken pains to find your contact through personal
endeavors which I may explain to you upon your response.

A possible family member of yours (name withheld for security reason)
died nine months ago leaving behind an investment totaling a very tidy
sum with my bank.  With interest at today's value, the said investment has
grown considerably.

His lawyer has since notified my department of the sudden death of the said
investor in a car crash and the lawyer has also asked us to check through our
records to see who his client may have indicated as next of kin to the
investment, since the fiance (Derby Myrthe) who was indicated
in his WILL as beneficiary to most of his properties also died
in the same car crash.

Findings and verification as auditor in the bank has led me to
realize that the investor has also named his fiance as next of kin to the
investment. We have as yet not informed anyone of this because of the
implications, the investor's lawyer will obviously handover his properties
including the investment to the government which will in turn be shared
amongst undeserving government officials. However, because of the
relevance of the sameness of your surname and you being a possible
relative to the late investor, we are making you this proposal
since my boss and I can provide you with much
needed information to claim the investment. 

You are guaranteed that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law, as the funds did not originate from terrorism or drugs,
but through inheritance.

Please kindly reply through my private email (jacobstorck7@aol.com) to
confirm your full name, telephone and fax number to enable us discuss
and facilitate all due process regarding
this transaction. 

Yours truly,
Jacob.

Dear Dr. Johnson,

I don’t recall being owed this sum of money. Could you please explain how I missed this payment. $1,5000,000 is a lot of money and I of course don’t want to miss this opportunity,

Yours in Christ,

Sam Malone

Welcome

————————————-

I’m still confused. Is this money I accidentally paid out and am now receiving a refund? I don’t remember paying $1,500,00 to anyone. Is this an inheritance or a winning? Why am I being sent this money? I don’t want to get involved in anything illegal.

Please explain.

Thank you.

One of the more elegant written scams I’ve ever come across. I periodically check around to see what other people are saying out these scams that flood my mailbox. The sad part is I continually run across people asking “is this legitimate?” No, it’s not legitimate. Every single piece of unsolicited email you get is a scam. Get that through your head. Every piece of spam you get is designed to rip you off. No exceptions.

So she I got my information while browsing through  internet in search of a reliable person who could be of help. How do you dot that exactly? Do you Google “find reliable people”?  This whole interweb thing is soooo confusing!

Good Day,

May I crave your indulgence to solicit for your co-operation concerning the
content of my mail, although I am not comfortable discussing it on the internet
owing to lots of unsolicited/Spam mails on the net this days, but I have no
other medium to do so right now since the situation of my health is
deteriorating so I have decided to donate what I have to charity through any
nice person.

My name is Mrs. Harriet Shelton; I got your information while browsing through
internet in search of a reliable person who could be of help. I am 59 years old
and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, after the death of my husband
who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by the Lord to
donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity for the good
work of humanity, rather than allow my greedy relatives to use my husband’s
hard earned funds inappropriately.

I will be going in for an operation tomorrow morning and I have decided to WILL/
donate the sum of $3,500,000(Three million five hundred thousand dollars) to
you/Organization for the good work of the Lord also for the assistance of the
widows according to (JAMES 1:27). At the moment I cannot take any telephone
calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health
status. I have adjusted my WILL and my Executor is aware I have changed my
will; you and he will arrange the transfer of the funds from the Private
Finance Company to your humble self. I wish you all the best and may the good
Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the
good work to others.

Contact my Executor: BARRISTER EDWARD HAYES With this specified Email:
(esq.edward_hayes001@yahoo.com.hk).

Do send along your full names, contact, telephone/fax number and your full
address and tell him that I have WILLED($3,500,000.00) to you and I have also
notified him that I am WILL-IN that amount to you for a specific and good work.
Thanks and God bless.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished as I do not want anything that will jeopardize my last wish.
And also I will be contacting with you by email as I don’t want my relation or
anybody to know because they are always around me.

Thank You,
Mrs. Harriet Shelton.

Holy cow, what whiner! I’m terminally ill with both cancer and a stroke…my husband died… I’m over-powered with both gloom and despair…blah, blah,blah.

My name is Mrs. Lewella Donald, I am terminally ill and have decided to donate my inheritance from my husband to you. Regarding how I got your personal details, it is via the internet with the help of the nurse assigned to attend to me in my private ward here in the hospital, under my direction because I cannot surf on my own due to partial stroke.

It may interest you to know that I am 51 years old and have been diagnosed of acute cancer for about 2 years now, shortly after the death of my husband, which made me hypertensive and resulted in stroke. I feel over-powered by gloom and despair and saw nothing but death lurking around. All these are my reasons for deciding on using anything in my name for charity in which co-incidentally you have been favoured as the beneficiary.

I have decided to donate my inheritance to a stranger instead of my husband’s relatives because they are such that it will amount to betrayal of my late husband if I let them have his hard-laboured fortune and enjoy it, despite how they mistreated me after the demise of my late husband under my very nose.I will expect that you will as is about doing to you this day do to the lives of others, for life is better lead on the philosophy of give and take. I will advise that you don’t see this windfall as avenue for pleasure spree but should see it as an opportunity to build and grow your personal finances to an enviable level and help others.

Please note that to avoid my husband’s relatives who spy around me and because of my health condition I shall not entertain phone calls and conversations. If you are sure that you will use the donated fund as I have advised here, contact my Lawyer Barr. Higgs Wiltshire (Email: higgs.wiltshire@live.co.uk) to help you arrange the transfer of the fund to your account and furnish him with the details as I included below for verification of informations on the Limited Power of Attorney issued to him on your behalf so that all the paperwork in your name can be processed as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the transfer;

Full Names:
Address:
Telephone number:
Age:
Gender:
Occupation:

You should give him your cooperation so that he can assists you fully in the processing and remittance of your donation/bequest.

All the best!
Mrs. Lewella Donald

Dude this makes total sense! Give out 2.5 million dollars to 25 randomly selected winners during a global recession when you’re getting your butt kicked by Google. Oh, and don’t advertise it either. Wouldn’t want to let people know you’re doing this and maybe get some publicity out of it.

I just can’t wait to get my $800,000 winnings! After all, they have “verified the entire transaction to be Safe and 100% risk free”. What more could you ask? Just need to scrape up $250.00 and Bank of America will release my money. That’s a 320,000% return on my investment!

Attn: Beneficiary,

This e-mail has been issued to you in order to Officially inform you that we 

have completed an investigation on an International Payment in which was 

issued to you by an International Lottery Company. With the help of our newly 

developed technology (International Monitoring Network System) we discovered 

that your e-mail address was automatically selected by an Online Balloting 

System, this has legally won you the sum of US$800,000.00 from a Lottery 

Company outside the United States of America. During our investigation we 

discovered that your e-mail won the money from an Online Balloting System and 

we have authorized this winning to be paid to you via a Certified Cashier's 

Check.

Normally, it will take up to 10 business days for an International Check to be 

cashed by your local bank. We have successfully notified this company on your 

behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank within the United 

States Of America so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any 

delay, henceforth the stated amount of US$800,000.00 has been deposited with 

Bank Of America.

We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to receive 

the winning prize as we have verified the entire transaction to be Safe and 

100% risk free, due to the fact that the funds have been deposited at Bank Of 

America you will be required to settle the following bills directly to the

Bank which is - Bank Of America )
(2) Cashier's Check Conversion Fee ( Fee for converting the Wire Transfer 

payment into a Certified Cashier's Check)
(3) Shipping Fee's ( This is the charge for shipping the Cashier's Check to 

your home address and this fee includes Insurance )

The total amount for everything is US$250.00 (Two Hundred And Fifty US Dollars). We 

have tried our possible best to indicate that this US$250.00 should be 

deducted from your winning prize but we found out that the funds have already 

been deposited at Bank Of America and cannot be accessed by anyone apart from 

you the winner, therefore you will be required to pay the required fee's to 

the Agent in-charge of this transaction via Western Union Money Transfer or 

Money Gram International Transfer.

In order to proceed with this transaction, you will be required to contact the 

agent in-charge ( Dr Duke Mark) via e-mail. Kindly look below to find

So their “Intelligence Monitoring Network System” found out I won $850,000 in a British Lotto game that I somehow forgot I entered. But I’m smarter than that.  I know this is totally fake because a British Lotto would award it’s payments in Euros or pounds, not US dollars! Ah-ha, gotcha! Do they think I’m stoooopid?

One of the more creative  “I’m a soldier in Iraq and or Afghanistan and I found a butt load of money” scams. My favorite part is the declaration “this is no stolen money and there is no danger involved”. Which is actually true, because, well, it’s entirely made up to begin with. Probably the only true thing in the letter.

Good day,

My name is Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, Maryland. I am an American soldier with a Swiss background serving with the Army 3rd Infantry Division. I am in desperate need of your assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you, I found your contact particulars on an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to move the sum of Sixteen Million United States Dollars ( USD$ 16 Million) to you as far I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in Iraq & Afghanistan .

This is no stolen money and there is no danger involved, I am presently in a hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.
See website for more details……………..(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm)

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrel at a farm house near Saddam Hussan’s  old palace in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescuer  operation and it was agreed by Sgt. Gary Bourland and I that some part of this money should be shared among us before informing anyone about the discovery, this was quite illegal thing to do but i tell you what? No compensation will make it up for the risk we taken our lives in this hell hole of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week.

The above figure was given me as my share to cancel this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a ( Canadian ) contact working here and his office enjoys some immunity I was able to move the money to a security company in ( Canada) as a diplomatic baggage. They are waiting for me to provide the name of the beneficiary who they will transfer the funds to, as a soldier I cannot present myself as the direct owner of this fund it against our code of conduct we are not allowed to do business and the US Government is planting a close watch on all military personnel that is why i need you to help me receive this fund.

The moment I get a response from you and you willing to help me I will forward all the details of the security company so you can contact them for immediate release, I want you to tell me how much you will accept for helping me receive this fund and for your mutual understanding.

One more passionate appeal please do not discuss this issue with anyone, should you have reasons to reject this offer please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers in Iraq, I don’t know how long I will remain here I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide attacks by special grace of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach you for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately please get back asap,

Brian Horn
Camp MXP-512 Third Infantry Division Unit( T.I.D.U),
Abul Uruj Bagdad Iraq .

Regards.

Glad he found me in his  “address journal”. And you can tell he’s a real soldier because he used the word “evacuate” which is a very military-ish phrase.

Dear Friend,

With a very desperate need for assistance,I have summed up courage to
contact you.I am presently in Afghanistan with the USA marine platoon;I
found your contact particulars in an Address journal.I am seeking your
assistance to evacuate the sum of $900,000.00(Nine hundred thousand
dollars)to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your
care until I complete my service here.This is no stolen money,and there
are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with
piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location during a rescue
operation,and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared
amongst us,this was quite an illegal thing to do,but I tell you what? No
compensation can make up for the risks we havetaken with our lives in this
hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share,and to conceal this kind of
money became a problem for me,so with the help of a German contact working
here,and his office enjoys some immunity,I was able to get the package out
to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does notknow the real
contents of the package,and believes that it belongs to an American who
died in an air raid,and before giving up,trusted me to hand over the
package to his family.

There is a secured way of getting the package out to a safer country for
you to pick up,and i will discuss this with you when I am sure that you
are willing to assist me.One passionate appeal I will make to you is not
to discuss this matter with a third party,should you have reasons to

Yours in Christ,

Yep, just another 15 million lying around in some dormant account that strangely enough doesn’t belong to anyone. Even my $100 balance at the credit union, that I only set up so I could get a car loan, still has my name on it. I had to show ID and proof of address and everything. My favorite part about these scams is the whole “this will be done legally” part. Like, how the fuck could this ever be legal?

Greetings, 

I have interest of investing in your country as well as seek your services
in a private and confidential matter. I am a senior Auditor heading
computing department here in our bank. 

On my routine inspection I discovered a dormant account that does not
belong to anybody with a Balance of 15 Million Pounds(GBP).
I write to seek your indulgence and assistance in transferring this
fund to your country through legal means. I am proposing to make this
transfer to a designated bank account of your choice in your country
for investment. At the conclusion of this transaction, you will be
given 40% of the total amount, 60% will be for me. 

Call me immediately you get this message +447955133543.

Let me know if you can handle it. 

Regards 

Mr. David Brown

Suuuure. Makes total sense. The now deceased former president of South Korea left $48,000,000 in a bank account and no one has claimed it. It’s so crazy it must be true!

From: Mr. David Joong-hyun
Seoul,South Korea.

I will introduce myself I am Mr.David Joong-hyun a Banker working in a bank in south Korea Until now I am the account officer to most of the south Korea government accounts and I have since discovered that most of the account are dormant account with alot of money in the account on further investigation I found out that one particular account belong to the former president of south Korean MR PARK CHUNG HEE,who ruled south Korean from
1963-1979 and this particular account has a deposit of $48m with no next of kin.
My proposal is that since I am the account officer and the money or the account is dormant and there is no next of kin obviously the account owner the former president of South Korea has died long time ago, that you should provide an account for the money to be transferred.
The money that is floating in the bank right now is $48m and this is what I want to transfer to your account for our mutual benefit. Please if this is okay by you I will advice that you contact me through my direct email address.
Please this transaction should be kept confidential. For your assistance as the account owner we shall share the money on equal basis.

Your reply will be appreciated.

Thank you.

David Joong-hyun
