I've always laughed at that fact... Why would the "Royal bank of Nova Scotia" have a 'yahoo.co.hk' address? Still, their stupdity is on par with others unfortunate naivety.
I still scratch my head as to how people really fall for them though.

My God... look at this one that just hit my HotMail... I cannot imagine anyone falls for this....


Hello,

With profound respect and humble submission, I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration, I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hopes, joy and enthusiasm that I write you this mail which I know and believe by faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health. My name is Miss Grace John I am 23 years old. I'm from Ivory Coast in West Africa and presently, I am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar Senegal, as a result of the civil war in my country. I was a first year student of law at the university, before the incident that lead me into this situation of been in refugee camp in Dakar Senegal, I'm a very simple honest, respectful Caring, sincere and romantic girl.

My late father Dr. John Kewrell was the Managing Director of Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mine company, also a successful business man import and exporter of Cocoa during his life time. I am the only daughter of my parent. It is sad that the rebels attacked my house one early morning killing my mother and my father. Equally my mother was a senior lecturer at the university before her death. I don't have any relatives now whom I can go to, all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war. It is only me that is alive now because I am the only child to my parent, as I managed to make my way to near by country Senegal, where I am leaving now as a refugee. As a refugee here I don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.

I have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me, because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank which he used my name as the next of kin, the amount in question is USD$25 Million (TWENTY FIVE MILLION U.S DOLLARS). Already I have informed this bank about my intention to claim my late father's deposit. The bank told me to look for a foreign partner who will assist me in the transfer due to my refugee status here, as a refugee I am not allowed direct claim of the money but through an appointed representative as the United refugee law governing refugee all over the world states.

Now I want an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas who will assist me in transferring this money. I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is me and you. So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convenient for me to return back home if I so desire.

This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care in any business of your choice since I'm still too young to manage it. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions: 1. Can you honestly help me from your heart? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the fund has being transferred to your account and i come over to meet you?. Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immediately I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter. In the light of above I will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it.

Kind Regards Grace.

Ooh, check this out - it even touches on international politics:

From:Miss Madeline Zama
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.
Dearest One,

This is a letter of appeal and business proposal, it might upset you because we have not had any previous discussion on this or we have not met before now.I am Madeline Zama, Zimbabwean national currently living as political refugee in Abidjan Ivory Coast.I am Miss Madeline Zama , the only daughter of Mr. David Zama, an Indigenous Zimbabwean commercial farmer from Shona tribe.

My mother was murdered in cold blood in 2001 by fellow Indigenous black Zimbabwean war veterans who invaded our farms/home and forcefully evicted us out of our properties with the support of President Robert Mugabe, because my father was not in support of his political Ideologies. After that I flee to South
Africa with my father.

President Robert Mugabe claims land like this has been confiscated to assist the resettlement of landless peasants, but the selection process is controlled by committees from the ruling Zanu-PF party and the main beneficiaries are party officials, "war veterans", and card-carrying members of the party, some of whom have no background in farming.

All appeal from International Communities like the European Union (EEC) Common Wealth of Nations, United Kingdom, USA and notable individuals around the globe to President Mugabe to consider us has failed. Over 500 white settlers and their families were affected and had fled the country. I am currently living as refugee in Ivory Coast with the missionaries.

My father, who has been close friend of former Ivory Coast Defence Minister Émile Boga Doudou has been used by him to do military supplies in the past. Émile Boga Doudou who brought us to Ivory Coast from Durban South Africa was murdered with all members of his family during the military uprising in Abidjan on the 19th of September 2002.

We were at church night vigil whenthe genocide occurred. So we remained in the Church and did not go back again. My father decided and established another farming business here and it was successful. Late last year, he was diagnosed of prostrate cancer; unfortunately he died last month,MAY HIS SOUL LAST IN PERFECT PEACE AMEN).

After the funeral, when am going through his files, I discovered that he deposited sum of Ten Million USA Dollars (US$10M) in a fix/suspense account with a bank in Abidjan, Ivory Coast . The bank deposit was done in my name, with strict instruction from my father that I must invest the money abroad in future.

Now that my father is dead and nothing left behind in Zimbabwe, I have no intention of going back there as my life is in danger.I therefore seek your assistance to help me receive the money in your account for purpose of investment/safe keeping. You will also help me to migrate to your country or any other place that will be safe for me. You should inform me what will be your percentage commission. I must make it clear that there is nothing to be afraid of because I have documents about the money.

Please give my request concrete consideration, as I do not desire to die here. Kindly send your responses to the above email addresses and remain blessed.

Yours,
Madeline Zama

I think there was an actual documentary on this...with some american news agency, can't remember if it was ABC or MSNBC or something...They actually met up with the Nigerian scammers in London, two different ones i think, and video recorded everything, gave one $500 in a hotel room and arranged to meet somewhere else.

Was funny as hell when they announced they knew it was a scam..I think the sacammer and the presenter were in a bar drinking beer and the presenter said "I mean, do I look stupid to you?" The scammer guy drank that beer so fast...:laugh:

And again Dr Garuba Musa needs my help - last time it was $10.5 MIllion.. this time $7.5... I wonder where the missing 3 million is ?? ;) hehe


From The Desk Of Dr.GARUBA MUSA
Bill And Exchange Manager.
Bank of Africa B.O.A.
Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso.
( "REMITTANCE OF $7.5 SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSEND U.S.A DOLLARS Only.
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Dear Friend
On a very good day. I am (DR GARUBA MUSA) Manager Of BILL And Exchange in Bank of Africa(BOA).I got your contact from a Yahoo google Search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God or Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 7.5 million U.S.A dollars ( SEVEN Million Five hundred thousend U.S.A dollars Only) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer MR.ADAMS SALAH who died along with his entire family on (friday december 26,2003 ) in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death,
we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured
during the business and 60 % would be for me, Therefore after I and my family will visit you in your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have
been made for the transfer.

Latest thing going around US is a great deal on a classic Corvette or Camero. Its usually advertised in "local green sheets want ads etc nationwide" a Corvette is offered for $4600.00. Delivery is arranged and included already in price, car is in great condition and condition is guaranteed, but due to age of owner, no inspections can be made and owner is deaf and cannot talk on phone. emailed photos show a really good looking car. Phone number given is a fax.

Scammer is so successful that the prearranged shipper in the scam(who knows nothing about the whole thing) has added on their website, that it is a scam.

The scam is only successful because the "buyer" is a complete idiot. Period.

Anyone with half a brain that has any interest in older cars KNOWS you have to either see it in person or be sold a piece of crap. (thats ASSuming you even get an actual car at all).

Those buyers I have NO sympathy for - pure greed at work - they stupidly think "Goolllllyyy geeee... hyuk hyuk I gonna spend me $4600 an sell it at Barritt Jaxzon for a million... whooooweeeee!!!"

"From George Brown
Nigeria National Petroleun Corporation
P.O Box 6543 Victorian Island, Lagos
Nigeria
Email: [email protected]
Date: 08-12-2008

Dear Friend,

My name is George Brown. It is my pleasure to write this mail basically to seek your consent on transaction which involves transfer of an over-invoiced sum of money from my ministry to your bank account. The amount involved is US$25million.

I am a member of the Contract Award Committee (CAC) in my ministry Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The amount was intentionally over-invoiced for our benefit. We have worked carefully to secure the approval of the fund since the original contract value has been paid on completion of the contract in 2006. Then the remaining balance of the US$25million is what we intend to transfer secretly to you using your bank account details.

The civil service code of conduct does not allow any serving officer to operate a foreign bank account, we are seriously handicapped to transfer the fund to an offshore account hence this contact to you. It is on this basis that I thought it wisely to use a foreigner to receiver the fund for our mutual benefit. We shall draw an agreement to back up this transaction and also to spell out our duties, sharing modalities and safety of the fund in your bank account.

If you are interested, please contact me urgently through the email for us to reason together to get the transaction realized soon.

Summarily, there is no single risk involve having taken care of all forms of obstacles that would pose some risks in the deal. To avoid taking things for granted. The transaction will be processed legitimately with all legal proof on the execution of the contract.

I urgently expect your response for more details. Via this email box: [email protected]

George Brown"

Why would the Australian lottery use a bank in Africa to release the money. And if you really did win, why would you be disqualified for telling someone, or in this case reposting the letter on the web?

At least this letter was written by an English speaker, as opposed to the other letters which sometimes just seem to be a collection of words.

Maybe its set up by some Ultra-Rich old guy who has decided in his advancing years that rather than leave the money to his horrible children he will spread the wealth to those more deserving. And ofcourse the natural way to do this is by randomly picking E-mails. Duh!

$320 I have to fork out to get 1.5 million. I dont know sounds kind of risky, especially since it doesn't mention Nigeria. Most of the free millions I get comes from Nigeria and they don't require money upfront.

I have been getting some of these, my brother in law (who is top level homeland security) told me that they tried to scam one of his agents but did not tell me what happened after that... I probably don't want to know, but it would be great to counter attack these morons, thanx for that 419eater link
