I Aer Going To Be Teh Richz0r!!

[Trem]

Keep getting these fucking emails.

Dear Friend
I am Jun Cheng a manager of bills/exchange at the foreign remittance
department of Hanivitbank. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum
of $44,700,000.00 (Forty Four Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars only) in an account that belonged to one Late Mr Andrew Phillips
an American, who died along with his entire family, on November 1996, in
a ghastly plane crash. Since we got the information about his death, we
have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and file a claim as next
of kin over his money because we can not release it unless somebody applied
for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, nobody has come forward to claim this money. It
is based on this that some officials in my department and I have decided
to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence by contacting
you. We want you to present ourself as the next of kin to Late Mr Andrew
Phillips, so that the funds can be remitted into your account. Moreover,
we do not want the money to go into the government account as unclaimed
bills. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that any account
abandoned
or is dormant for a period of years, is deemed closed and all money contained
therein forfeited to the government treasury account.
Now, it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred
into the government account as an unclaimed fund on or before the end of
this financial quarter of 2004, when nobody come forward to lay claims.
The reason for requesting your assistance, is occasioned by, the fact that
the deceased Late Mr Andrew Phillips) was a foreigner, and we have access
to his detailed bio data which you will hold as a weapon to present yourself
as the next of kin to Late Mr Andrew Phillips.
The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into
your account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will
be expected to play in this deal, we have agreed to give you 25% of the
total sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to encounter by the two parties
in the course of this transaction. Therefore,you are expected to reply this
letter indicating your readiness and interest to participate in this business.
After receiving your reply, you will be communicated to with the exact steps
to take. I expect your urgent response and I shall contact you for further
discussion on this matter,to enable us conclude this transaction urgently
without any delay or hitch. Please treat this business proposal as strictly
confidential for security reasons considering my official position in Bank
of Korea.
Personal Regards,
Mr. Jun Cheng

This is just between me and you though, alright? It says its confidential.

 

[Mobius]

Pff, they asked me too.

 

[Trem]

Fuckers. ITS ALL MINE!!!

 

[Panda On Smack]

Those emails are so retarded

Its so irritating knowing that there is someone stupid enough to think that will work and even more annoying knowing that someone somewhere probably beleived it.

 

[Trem]

I do wonder what will happen if I reply to it.

 

[jaba]

do it! go on, you never know it just might be true!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Dear Mr. Jun Cheng,

I find this proposition quite an opportunity to get back on my feet and am most willing to participate in this little transaction. You see, i lately was in a small accident as a plane i was flying plummeted in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. As i got back to the good old US of A, having lost all my belongings to the Mutumba tribe in exchange for my life, i couldn't prove my identity to the bank, my workplace(i grew a beard on my way back and got a lot thinner), my wife(a nasty accident with the voodoo shamans daughter) and also had lost all my ATM cards as well as two briefcases of hard currency.

this is truly a blessing and i hope to hear from you really soon.

Yours kindly,
Mr Andrew Phillips

I wasn't aware that there were that many Nigerians in Korea :touch:

Must admit its the first Asian one I have seen they usually come from Nigeria, and yes some people do get taken in by them. I remember the case of the Canadian lawyer, who I think went to jail for theft and fraud, who spent quarter of a million dollars of other peoples money trying to get his hands on some of General Abacha's ill gotten gains.

If I remember right there are a couple of web sites dedicated to uncovering the perpetrators of these schemes which have footage of people having meetings and behaving bizarrely infront of public webcams.

Later

 

[Stimpy]

Noone ever sends me emails like this, I want to be rich to, it's not fair

 

[fatbusinessman]

Correct

 

[Cyradix]

It's not only the emails anymore...
A collegue of mine got a phone call from one of those nigerian guys last week....

 

[Wij]

I think we should invade Nigeria and nab all these millions.

It's probably all a dark conspiracy thought up by the fiendishly clever, evil mind of thicko airhead George Dubya Bush !!six

 

[TdC]

There's so much dosh in Nigeria it boggles the mind, not to mention the testes the gammy buggers must have been hording the stuff for ages!!

 

[Scouse]

Its so irritating knowing that there is someone stupid enough to think that will work and even more annoying knowing that someone somewhere probably beleived it.

It's big business m8 - fucking loads of wankers fall for it all the time - some daft american bitch defrauded her firm of about 4 million dollars to send 'em!

Never underestimate the amount of retards in the world.

 

[jaba]

seriously?? oh my life, I think I should come up with some cunning scam to rob idiots of their money..hmmmm....now to think of an evil fool proof plan!

 

[Athena]

I remember reading about a Czech dude who got suckered in by this type of scam. He ended up by walking into the Nigerian Embassy in Prague and shooting dead the Attache responsible for business and suchlike. Nasty what greed combined with stupidity will make some people do.

You lucky son of a twat

Dear Mr Ontombumbma,

You might be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Jaba, member of the british ruling elite.

I got your contact address through harvesting e-mail addresses from websites. After due consideration of your profile, I decided to write
to you. I write to solicit for your special assistance to my family
shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator named Tony Blair.

Anticipating the unscrupulous attempts of this government to unfairly take money through the method of heavy taxation, my partner and I have heavily invested into a copper jar. There is a machine at ASDAs that will help us transform this money into readily accessible money; however, it demands 7% of all money transactions. Not having this money to spare, due to a terrible incident with a cancerous plane crash, and a car accident that killed some Swahilian politicians in Switzerland (who worked for Shell), I'm sure you can understand the difficult predicament this puts me in. Therefore, having carefully selected you on the basis of your very trustworthy e-mail address, I am approaching you with a business proposition.

If you were to advance the 7% that ASDA demands to convert the coppers into more acceptable currency, I would offer you a large percentage of the money that is transferred as payment for your assistance. I haven't checked my copper jar recently, but I believe it to hold in the region of twelve million pounds sterling. I look forward to hearing your response,

Jaba.



Sorted.

 

[jaba]

Damn thats good, both evil and cunning! ASDA really do rob you blind though, thanks Damini! Now to find a server I can spam people to death with...

 

[SilverHood]

Heh, a Danish businessman fell for a Nigerian 419 scam, and paid them 2 million quid all in all.

Then he went to Nigeria, and they kidnapped him, ransoming him for another 200,000.

They then made him pay another £40,000 to keep it secret from his friends.


There's no such thing as free lunch...

[Wazzerphuk]

Hehe.

He should have made him paint up his bottom in intricate spots and shades, that would be much more erotic. Er, I mean better.

Not sexy. No.
