Re: Nigerian 419 scams

Hm...Well, I suppose I could see about getting an...interesting e-mail account to send them. Once we have that, send it to them, and tell them to use that, as you're afraid that the first account is being monitored by unscrupulous relatives.

Re: Nigerian 419 scams

Just got one of these today and for the hell of it, I opened it and the first line just made me start laughing, so I started reading it and picking throught it. Bold is me.

Dear Friend,

I wish to accost you with a request that would be of immense benefit to both of us. Shit. Now they're *accosting* me. Being an executor of wills, it is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our client's situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option. Or tempted to scam stupid Americans, but that's beside the point.

The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client who willed a fortune to his next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died on the same day in the Sharja plane crash of Tuesday 10 February 2004. Unfortunate *and* convenient. I am now faced with confusion of who to pass the fortune to.

According to the English law, the fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the government. However, I don't belong to that school of thought which proposes that the fortune of unlucky people be given to the government.

My purpose of contacting you is to seek your acting as the beneficiary of the will, and lay claim the legacy of 7.9 million GBP, which this unfortunate client of mine bequeathed to his next-of-kin. For now, I alone know about his will, as my client has great confidence in me. Everything will be left between you and I. The share would be 45% for you and 55% for me. I would want to take care of the needy and less privileged, as this is my primary objective. Needy and less privileged. You know. Like me. All I have to do is amend the will to make you the beneficiary to the 7.9 million GBP legacy.

Again, I feel that you may apprehensive and consider this amount too big for you to defend. We have such a repor. He knows me so well. And now I have to defend the money. Against people that want to accost me, I guess. It does not matter, as there are documents to back it up. This is a legacy being passed on to a next-of-kin. As I am not very sure of getting your consent on the issue I prefer not to divulge my full identity so as not to risk being disbarred. The English Bar considers it a breach of the oath of the English Bar. Redundant statement is redundant. I need not emphasize to you that the sensitivity of this issue need not be toyed with by neglecting its confidentiality. I therefore appeal to you not discuss this request with anybody, even if you decline my request.Well, shit. Too late now, I guess.

Until I am sure of your consent and full cooperation, I would prefer that we maintain correspondence by email.

At this point I want to assure you that your true consent, full cooperation and confidentiality are all that are required for us to take full advantage of this opportunity.

I look forward to hearing from you soon with a letter of acceptance stating:
1. Full Names: So, should I respond with every freaking one of my aliases? I have been a gamer for 25 years now...
2. Recent contact address: Anyone have the address for the FBI?
3. Telephone/fax number: Should just give a fax number and let it screech at him.
4. Occupation: I investigate potential sources of email fraud.
5. Age: Wonder if he'd notice if I put something like 2 or 876?
6. Company name together with any form of ID and i want you to know both of us will share the cost in the process of the transaction.

Yours truly,
Barr. Alfred Johnson Heheheh. Johnson. *snickers*

Re: Nigerian 419 scams

As for the FBI's address...Give me a moment. Watch this space.

EDIT: Nevermind...FBI can't do anything about it, unless the email originated here, which it doesn't read as.

Re: Nigerian 419 scams

Ah well. Seemed to fit here better. Could transfer it over, but seems a little too after the fact.
