Hey Dan heres another for ya

I am Barrister Afe Babalola a solicitor at law.

I am the personal attorney to Mr. Harry P. a
national of your country, who used to work with
ZENON OIL REFINERY NIGERIA (PLC). On the 6th of May, 2002
it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their
only daughter were involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano
State, enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants in
the Plane lost their lives, unfortunately on this same
flight were other dignitaries like the Sports Minister and
a host of others. The following websites could be

Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy 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 contacted you to assist in claiming this fund from the
finance house where he deposited it bfore his untimely
death.

The finance company where the deceased had an account
valued at about USD$7.5 million dollars has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have theaccount
confisicated within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same
last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at
USD$7.5 million dollars can be paid to you as the next of
kin.

All I need is your full maximum suport and cooperation to
enable us achieve this transaction within 10 working days
and I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of thelaw.

If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish
me with your full name, address, private telephone and fax
numbers to enable us commence immediately.

Do note that it is essential you send your reply to me via
my private email: [email protected]


Best regards,
Barrister Afe Babalola.

I get at least two of these a month.Each time the story varies. First was Mr. P was in a car crash with his whole family and all died. Another they were on a boat and yet another they were murdered. I have spam guard on and yet they just keep coming...each time with a different email address. *Shrugs* maybe I should send this to my ex-husband...he just MIGHT be gullible enough to fall for it. *laughs*

A Liar must have good memories. There is one way to find out if a man is honest. Ask him "are you honest?" If he says 'Yes', then he's crooked

I just got this one this morning.

ROM THE DESK OF:
MR.WANG QIN
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.

Dear Sir/madam,

I am Mr.Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation,Mr.David Huckerby made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty-eight Million Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. David Huckerby died from an automobile accident. On furtherinvestigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and allttempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.David Huckerby did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. David Huckerby so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.There is no risk at all,as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately to my personal email box: [email protected] Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.Please send me your confidential email and fax numbers for easy communication as my spoken english is not very good.You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards.

Mr.Wang Qin.

I realize that I'm not offering any legal advice in this post, but since there have been links to other sites regarding the nigerian scams, I thought that I'd offer this up for review.

There are a lot of sites that deal with the nigerian 4-1-9 scams, but the best one has to be 419 eater page.

Go to the letter archives page, and check out the "Tale of the Painted Breast".
It is hilarious! You'll laugh your butt off!

The person reverse scammed the scammer...numerous times!


And beware...these guys are now targeting high dollar muscle car buyers on "Epay"...though the fake auctions are being taken off almost as fast as they're being listed.

Have a great afternoon
