matt

ive just recieved the below e.mail, and a fair few others have from what i can tell by the headers

Attn:

After a discreet but thorough research and based on
the impressive information by your profile through the
web site,I am with absolute confidence in the legality
and Intergrity of your person to present this business
and seek for your assistance on trust and sense of
purpose.

Briefly I am Mr.joseph egbujor,(manager),Bill and
Exchange in the foreign remittance department of
International Bank of Africa Accra-Ghana.In my
department,we discovered an abandoned sum of 9.5
million US dollars (Nine million Five hundred Thousand
US dollars),in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers Mr. Martin Greenberg,who was among
the victims of EgyptAir Flight 990,that crashed on the
31st of Oct.1999 in America.

Since we got the urgly information about his death,we
have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and
claim this money as it can not be released unless
somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to
the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial
guide lines and laws,but unfortunately we learnt that
his supposed next of kin or relation died along side
with him in the accident leaving no body behind to
make claim of the money in question.It is therefore
upon this discovery that I and a partner in my
department now decided to make this business proposal
to you and release the money to you as the next of kin
or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed bills.

The Banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after four years,the
money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed fund.

The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as next
of kin to the deceased family.I therefore wish to
contact you and seek for your assistance,to help me
claim this money from the bank and transfer it into
your company or private account.You will equally make
an arrangement for me to visit your country for
disbursement after the money must have been
transferred.

We have agreed that 25% of the total money will go to
you for all your pains and assistance.5% will be set
aside for expenses(both local and internal)incurred in
the course of this transaction and 70 % would be for
me and my colleagues.

To enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you
as arranged,you must apply first to the Bank as the
relation or next of kin to the deceased indicating
your private telephone and fax numbers for easy and
effective communication and location where the money
will be remitted.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer,but
should remain confidential between us.You should
please contact me immediately as soon as you go
through the message in the hope that we can enter into
a good business venture.

May God be with you.

Regards,

joseph egbujor.

Matt, maybe ask Joseph for the 25% up front for all your pains, such as sunburn and the like. Could you ask him if he's the bloke who tried to buy my laptop off Ebay last year ;D

I've had a huge increase in spam mail since I've made my e-mail address visible on this site.

It's annoying!

Yes matt, I got one too. In My case a kind Nigerian gentleman who wanted I disagreeistance in disposing of 1 million barrels of oil. This kind man was going to make me rich. That is the first spam I have had in ages. I should have given my hotmail e-mail address. I thought I would be ok on this site though. Dai

Matt,

Good site, mate.  Unfortunately I've deleted my e-mails from the scammers.  Could you e-mail me one of yours?

I'd like to have a try.  It looks more fun than winding up Gazza or Grayham.

My e mail address is hidden. Guess why?

I went through it all before on another forum.

By removing pm's, for reasons unkown and obviously so legal that secrecy is required, this forum has now lost something in my opinion only.

Some will have gained something else by enabling visible e mail addresses.

Believe me, in time, the spam will find you. Forums are a good source of valid e mail addresses.

Cheers

Ross

ps  Dave in Worthing  - please could you e mail me again as the address I replied to came back undelievered for some reason. Meeting up again is a good idea.

he will get you to fax him something or phone him, ive done it a few times, then you will normally get passed onto a lad higher up the scam chain (this guy might do it himself though)

I've got a Major Dave Wilson whose found loads of cash stashed away in barrels near one of Saddam's palaces.

Funnily enough, when I was in Iraqi we also found a huge Iraqi arms cache dug into the sand.  But that's another story.

Major Wilson wants me to travel 'somewhere' to collect a parcel of cash and put it into my business account for safe keeping.  I'll get a share.

So I've e-mailed him, taking advice from Matts 419er site.

Apparantly, I travel internationally on a regular basis and have three business accounts; one of them off-shore in the Isle of Man.  So I've told him.

The weather is atrocious here!

if your going to get into the 419 stuff

its best to keep 3 lads on the go, as if 1 gets burnt then you dont have to wait around doing nothing

if you need a free fax number to receive fax's (a nice addtion to a biz card or flyer anyways)

http://www.pumaone.co.uk/services_Overview_Fax.asp?c1=adwords&source=freefaxtoemail&kw=free_fax_to_email

i have 1 of those free mobile sims cards that are allways on offer for them to phone me

ts got to be a good thing wasteing the 419'ers time and money

try and get them to book you a nice hotel room and fax you the confirmation details etc, you wont be able to do this straight off though, will take a few weeks
