Whoo hoo I'm a millionaire

[cirian75]

Not really, does anyone get taken in by these scams any more ?

[trickywoo]

Are you posting this in the hope someone will say the message you received is legit?

If these scammers send thousands of messages chances are some mug will fall for it. A single one makes it worth their while hence why you still see these about.

Yes, I'm afraid there are muppets out there who still fall for these scams. I was only talking about the subject with a Nigerian Prince that I know, the other day.

Pah, you're an underachiever; I'm a trillionaire* due to careful investments in African ForEx.












*I spent £2 on some 'rare' Zim banknotes on Ebay.

I do love the gallery of pictures of the scammers being asked to do weird things to prove authenticity, beats a tin of custard any day

A County in the US sent them $1.25m - I think they're still waiting for a return...

Dear Mr T Vanin

I have access to some legal and confidential information concerning a late Mr. R Vanin a resident investor here who recently passed away. I handled some legal briefs for him concerning a deposit of valuables and cash he made with a deposit company here. Owing to the demise of my client and by virtue of my relationship with him, I have decided to use all the resources within my power to retrieve the deposit,
since my client died intestate . Until this time I, the solicitors, have been trying to determine the whereabouts of any of the relatives who will assume the responsibility of safe guarding the estate of the deceased.

It is not my will to see the above matter treated that way hence I conducted a search that will assist me in first and foremost fighting for the safety of the consignment and all that is contained therein.I am very much aware of my client's last dealings with the deposit firm and I have the singular privilege of being in possession of some of the signed agreement papers. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client because If a relative is not found within six weeks then the Public Trustee will seize the entire estate of my late client, a substantial windfall for both the government and the deposit company.

I look forward to your cooperation and your extreme discretion in this matter. Until such time as this matter is settled, I will continue to work with you to see that the deposit is retrieved and forwarded in your name as a bona fide proxy to my late client. We shall within the course of the next few days plan and execute how best to pursue this mutual matter with a view to cost effectiveness, I have all the necessary legal documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.

Yours sincerely
Patrick Ijele Esq
