Is this a scam or real?

Quote:
Dr Idris Kudi
Director of Procurement,
Nigerian Telecommunication Plc.
Fax: 234-1-7597120



Dear Sir,

SUBJECT: PROJECT ASSISTANCE.

I am the director of procurement, Nigeria telecommunication Plc (Nitel)
and a close
associate of the immediate past Director of Finance.

We are presently in apposition to transfer the sum of Six Million;
Three Hundred thousand
United States Dollars only ($6.3), acquired from deliberately
over-invoiced contracts
involving the Nigerian telecommunication Plc (Nitel) into a private
oversea account.

The funds need to be transferred out of my corporations account due to
the present
privatization exercise going on, which will make transfers impossible
after the NITEL has
been fully acquired in the on going national Privatization excursive.

I have made proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the
above-mentioned funds
that is retained in a coded account of NITEL in my country's apex bank.
We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund in trust.
We cannot complete this transaction smoothly without the participation
of a foreign partner
who would provide an account where the funds could be lodged. Since the
source of the
funds is related with foreign contracts and payments, the funds must be
remitted to a foreign
account.

The remittance of the funds requires little documentation that would be
completed as soon
as you provide us with a secured bank account where you may wish to
receive the money.
Since it may difficult for you to divulge such private information, it
may help if you can leave
a phone number or email me for further advise.



There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since the
former director and I

have perfected all modalities to have a smooth transaction

What we require from you by Fax or Email are viz:

{i} Acceptance letter of this offer

{ii} Your name/company name and confidential telephone and fax numbers

{iii} Convincing Honesty, Trustworthiness and Willingness to abide by
the requirements of
this proposal paramount of which is Confidentiality.

We have agreed that you will retain 20% of the entire US$6,300,000.00
for your effort in
this transaction, 70% for us partners here in Nigeria and the remaining
10% will be used for
refunds of incidental cost in the course of this transfer.

Please reply urgently by e-mail or fax as we expect that the
transaction will not take more
than ten working days.

Best regard


Dr Idris Kudi.
Director of procurement
NITEL

Do you think this is legit?

Got the same shit in my email...so for the fuck of it i replied and said" Like sure ..where do I sign ".about 3 days later he replied saying he cant use email cause he is being watched...Tried to respond back to him and email was returned. I think everybody sooner or later gets this scam, They ask you for a deposit eventually, and run away with your loot.. The saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is.

I've started replying to those too, telling them I was going to come to Nigeria to hunt them down and kill them. None of them ever respond. If I'm going to get spammed at least I'm gonna have some fun with it.

Those emails have been around since day 1.

Funny to see the amount has now increased to $6.3M, the first one I recall was for $200K.

They make Millions of dollars - FOR THEMSELFS!!!

They honestly have professional writers and its a full on business in those 3rd world countries, they have writers making up the most bullshit letters they can that people will believe. And they have phone numbers faked for Nigeria banks and Nigeria consultats and other stuff. So after you talk to 10 different people while checking it all our you become so convinced its real and your risking only $500-2000 on something that can make you rich you just go for it.

They make a lot of money from desperate people and gullible people.

OK, here's a rule of thumb: If anyone in the email is from Nigeria, it is a scam.

Yeah, it's for real. That's how I bought my 75-foot yacht and my fleet of Boxters. Kofi Annan shows up at your door with a TV crew and a giant check.

Dude, I used to get that shit, but WAY before the net was even the net. It would arrive by fucking mail!

And it was nigeria, several other countries as well, first a prince, a guy who inherits money, etc...

Come on... do you actually need someone to tell you its BS?

Its like those fucking stupid ass emails, saying, forward this email to 10 friends or you will have terrible luck...

Francis Fuckmenow did not forward this email and lost her job sucking her boss's dick the next day. Her dog died and she was blinded with a massive cum shot to the eye, while trying to pay for her breakfast...

etc...

Or the kid who recieves .32 cents everytime you send the email around, uh huh. For her liver trasnplant. Geez.

That shit makes me laugh my ass off.

something fishy with shit goin on with africa, i placed an ad in the recycler and soem chic responded to me and said this:

magee,

Have seen all the conditions of the 2 horn sharks, and 4 long spinned porcupine fish, 150gal, live sand, 2 cannister and would appreciate it.

i am willing to pay you $500 for the 2 horn sharks, and 4 long spinned porcupine fish, 150gal, live sand, 2 cannister if that is okay by you,
apparently , my ex - boyfriend in the united states who is indebted to me
and intends to pay me the sum of three thousand three hundred fourty
united states dollars ( $3,340.00)

This is about the easiest way I can get your funds to you now because am on a reseach trip to africa.cos if send a check from over here it would take about 30 days to clear whereas a check sent from within the US would clear within 1-2 days.

i would appreciate if i could trust you to take care of this funds
for me , so that once you receive payment, you would deduct the money
for the them and also delivery funds of delivering them to NY11217,
then the remaining would be sent to me either thru wire transfer or
western union ( preferably).

i would appreciate you enter into this contract agreement in good
faith and trust with me and would appreciate your understanding
because it is not easy this days to trust people.

if the contract agreement is sealed, i would appreciate you send me
your name and address where the check would be delivered and also
your contact number so that i can communicate with my friend to
arrange
the funds.

best regards

Rachel


seems to be some sort of fruad but for th fuck of it i said yea, but i still have not heard back from he/she....
