mustang292 Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 I have recieved a ton of those kind of emails. Trash it.
Phi for All Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 Is he expecting you to squawk about the 60% commission so it will prod you into negotiating with him? "Well, if you'll send $10,00 to cover some expenses of mine, I'll cut my fee to 30%". I also love: it takes 2 weeks to bury your relative, there's no mention of who your relative was, local expenses on processing a will are going to be $2.3M!
Dak Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 419eater reply. waste his time. hell, even try to get some money out of him. its been done before (see above link -- 419 is the nigerian (where most these scams originate) police code for fraud, apparently). i especially like the 'tale of the red breast' scam. SCAMMER: "dear sir. i need to use your account to clear $25,000,000 from the funds of a nigerian oil company. i will give you $2,500,000 for your cooperation. interested?" ANTI-SCAMMER: "sure" SCAMMER:"well, you need to send $1,800 to clear the paperwork so that the money can be transfered to your account" ANTI-SCAMMER"ok, but youll need to send me $80 withdrawl fee, so that i can afford to withdraw the $1,800 to send you so that you can transfer the $25,000,000 into my acount" and the scammer fell for it too...

Dear McNeely I am Barrister Francis Godwin' date=' a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.P.B McNeely, a national Of your country, who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a caraccident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$4.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited. The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicatedwithin the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Best regards. Barr. F.Gogwin.
