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.

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.

I'd be careful. Hire a middleman.

Hmmmm...you could send ME your money and I'll take care of it from there for you. That way you're safe and nothing happens to you.

This one is new but I get others that are similar. All involving banks or some type of political espionage. My resume is listed on a few business sites (old shit) and I got them there too.

They must be getting ducks or they wouldn?t do it.
