Dear Friend,

I am a Private Investigator based in Europe. A group
of Government Officials from an African Country
contacted me with a
Proposal. I am to Make contact with you and state
their offer, if your Interest is Genuine, you will be
Contacted for your
Account details to which will be transferred the sum
of $33,600,000.00 USD. (20% of which is yours). You
are then required to forward the remaining balance
(Minus the Interest, handling and tax clearance
charges, which Will be offset by Us & Deducted from
the transferred sum) to a nominated Bank account in
the Cayman Islands. I don't think I need to spell out
the importance of
Secrecy in this Matter considering the amount
involved.
Let me state clearly here that the account that you
would be providing does not need to have funds in it;
it is only needed to be active and be able to receive
funds.
So, if I don't hear from you within three days I will
assume you are not interested and will solicit for a
new partner, but if you know you are interested let me
know. List your phone & fax Numbers so we may
communicate with you. This is important as we would
Have to talk about the modalities of the transaction.

Waiting to hear from you.

Regards

James Oghene

Dude when am I getting my $6.72million

I'll make my money investing in Enron... errr.. wait :/ I wonder if people fall for that scam. I guess its like u bastard email spammers. You wouldn't do it unless people signed up for it :/

BluMedia · 01-03-2003, 04:48 PM

Yeah got that awhile ago and thought it was real too. But it is total BS don't send them a penny.

strainer · 01-03-2003, 04:48 PM

I like the one I get weekly from the African doctor. I usually offer to do the deal for a $5 million dollar advance payment and tell him I'll throw in some white women but so far he has declined...

Vendot · 01-03-2003, 05:03 PM

Sheesh, how can people fall for this shit? It never ceases to amaze me how gullible people can be.

Then again, I guess thats why that particular scam is a multi-billion dollar "success".

Socks · 01-03-2003, 05:06 PM

Someone esplain to me how that scam works, I couldn't figure it out

Lethal · 01-03-2003, 06:08 PM

I got my money ok...

01-03-2003, 06:23 PM

I always tell them that I'm really interested, and for them to call me right away so we can get things started, but I just have a few questions first. Then I give them the phone number to the FBI or other internet fraud organizations and tell them to give me a call.

For those that seriously don't know how the scam works, read this:

Dang thats sweet - I heard that every lot has a view when you get Swiss ocean front property as well....

REMbraNT · 01-03-2003, 08:34 PM

first time I received a similar email I even replied to the sender just for fun

But no answer. It seems they have many victims to choose from.

Don't ever send money, wake up! but I think this is not the place of potential victims.
