    What kind of fucking Scam is dis?

    I just got this e-mail. Has to be a fucking scam...

    ATT Meehoff ,
    I am Barrister Al Farouk the Personal Attorney to Mr.
    Williams Meehoff , a national of your
    country,who used to work with shell
    development company Lome-Togo. On the 21st of October
    2001, my Client, his wife and three children were
    involved in a car accident along the Hillakondji
    Express Road. All occupants of the Vehicle
    unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made

    several efforts to locate any of my clients extended
    relatives, this has proved unsuccessful. After these
    several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
    relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of
    his family to assist in repatriating the money and
    property left behind by my client before they get
    confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security
    company, where this hug deposits were lodged.
    Particularly, Security Company where the deceased had
    a deposit value of $ 29 million dollars. The company
    has issu! ed me a notice to provide the next of kin or

    have the deposit confiscated within the next three
    official working months. Since I have been
    unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7
    months now I seek your consent to present you as the
    next of Kin of my deceased client to enable us take
    over the proceeds of this deposit value at $29 million

    dollars be paid to you and then you and me will share
    the money. I do not know if you are in anyway related
    to him as your names are similar to his, even if you
    are not in anyway related to him, I want to know you
    will be interested to do the business with me. If you
    are interested in this proposal, I will want us to
    have a meeting to enable us agree on the modalities to

    do the business and the sharing ratio and the method
    to carry out the operation. Above all the meting will
    afford us the opportunity to know ourselves and to
    know the roles to be played by any of us! . I have all

    necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
    any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
    cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I
    guarantee that this will be executed under a
    legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
    breach of law. You have to assure me of your honesty
    and sincerity that you will not sit on the fund when
    it is finally claimed to enable us forge ahead
    immediately.

    Please get in touch with me through e-mail to enable
    us discuss further
    Best regards.

    Al Farouk

      so I replied...

      What? That is my uncle... WHO IS THIS?

      -Meehoff

      and I got

      Dear Mehoff,
      I am so happy today to locate you as the relation of
      this my client. In fact you have gladden my day and I
      have every reason to be happy throughout this weekend.
      Now as it stands, you have to prepare and meet me up
      here in Accra Ghana which is in west Africa where I am
      based and which is where the security company your
      Uncle kept the money. I came to know Mr Williams at
      the time he came to deposit this money and some other
      personal belongings with the security company from his
      Base then in Lome Togo. I have the security deposit
      certicate which was given to him at the time the
      deposit was made.I am going to guide you on how to go
      about the whole thing because as his personal attorney
      before his demise, I have all the information that
      will make the company believe you plus your passport
      that bears the same surename with him. Again I know
      how to obtain any other information that will help you
      to claim this money and his other personal belongings
      that are here and there depending on the way you may
      want it done. But remember that this company gave me
      only three months to produce the relations of my
      client otherwise they confiscate the whole thing.
      Today I thank almighty God that I have gotten you. So
      you have to come quickly let us do the necessary thing
      and get this thing out without any further delay
      because we are nearing the expiration of the three
      months notice.
      To make it easier for you ,I can help you to get you
      an entry visa direct from here so that you don't waste
      time to come. All you need to do is to send me the
      photocopy of the first two pages of your passport so
      that I Can use it to apply for the visa immediately.
      You can send it by email or through my fax line which
      is 233 -27-566648.the (233) is the country code for
      Ghana.
      BUT THE MOMENT YOU GET THIS MAIL TRY TO CALL ME ON MY
      PHONE NUMBER: 233-20 -8666414. This phone is open
      24hrs and I can talk to you at any time no matter the
      time and day.
      Your urgent response will be appreciated.

      Yours truly,
      Al Farouk.

                      me thinks this is probably a rip off of the old nigerian scam that's been around forever http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/...s/nigerian.htm

                          Don't believe the racist naysayers. My cousin helped out in a very similar situation and made some serious cash. I'd suggest you follow up on this.

                            Hi I got a few of those letters to different email addresses, promising to give me a cut of their millions or whatever. I searched the RCMP's site and they actually want a copy of your letters if possible. Here's the link if you want to read more about it. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scams/nigerian.htm

                            What frightens me is who's behind it and what are they funding with the stolen money??

                                          I had a woman that wanted me to come to China about a month ago. She was paying for every thing. Man she must live in the sticks, as it would be like a 15 to 20 hour train ride after I got to China. I told her and her brother I would pass for the time being. She want's to get married. This lady must be really hard up. I told her I'd been married 4 times and she was still buying.. No telling what might happen to my white ass over there.

                                          Oh your email is a scam...

                                                I may be wrong but doesn?t it seem strange that an attorney would be contacting you by email instead of a certified letter or something along those lines especially if he is in charge of a 29million dollar estate? I mean if he had the ability to get your email surly he could get an address? 29 million is a lot of money but I would be very cautious with this. Sounds kind of scammy to me.

                                                  I believe this what is called the "Nigerian scam" It has been running for more than a decade and people still fall for it. If you do some search you should be able to find out how many businessmen have been kidnapped and killed in that country. If you decide to give it a go, make sure you write your will

                                                        Are you an attorney? Just wondering. I do a lot of business by email too but something in the range of 29 million from an attorney, it just seems to me a letter on official letter head maybe even notarized or something would seem a little more valid in this case...but maybe it's just me.
