The sad/worrying thing is that some people WILL send Mr Moynihan £150 of their hard earned monies.

Dear Mr Vanin

I have access to some legal and confidential information concerning a late Mr.James. T.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

Yo Patrick,

For ever grateful for your Email
Understand you can help me
Can you send me more Info
Keen to find out more

Ordinarily I would not respond to these Emails
For I have no clue where they originate
Finally I have changed my mind

A friend has decided to help
Several important things have come to light
Six points in total
Have you my best interests at heart?
Or is this a scam?
Last thing is only read the first letter of
Every line downwards

Guess luck is with us here at PH, as apparently I've just won the Nigerian national lottery! Just got send them my bank details and I'm done! How cool!

It is sad so many people do fall for these.

A couple of years back a friend's email account was hacked and I had this pitiful email saying he was stuck in Nigeria and could I wire - by Western Union naturally - $1,500 so he could get home. I replied that his email was very timely and that when I received the $76 million promised by a Nigerian general I would naturally help.

But on a serious note, did anyone see that programme on the people taken in, spending as much as £100,000 in the vain hope of being rich? So sad.

But when can I expect delivery of my Invicta Low Chassis please?

You may wish to while away a few hours "scambaiting". A particularly rewarding pass time of seeing how far you can push your respective scammers into doing ridiculous things in the misguided anticipation of you sending them your bank details. This normally culminates in one of these criminals posting a grainy picture of themselves in a grubby room somewhere with a fish on their head, or holding a sign saying "I have a tiny winkie" or other such nonsense.

Some samples here (not entirely safe for work) https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=scambaiter+pictu...

If however I'm completely wrong and you do get £58m wired to you by Friday, then put me down for a 1976 fibreglass bodied 308 GTB please!

Congratulations on your good luck my good friend. Please drop off the classic car within weeks end.
