You are required as a matter of urgency to reconfirm your information including your name, phone number and your address for verification and immediate payment within 24 hours. To this effect, the sum of TEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$10.7m) has been approved for you. I wish to inform you that all matters relating to the release of this payment is now under my control and supervision. This development has become necessary due to the activities of unpatriotic government/CBN officials and impostors who keep on frustrating every effort to settle our clients by making requests for unauthorized fees and levies from them. We(?_HD) apologize for any delay you might have encountered in the past; your payment is now 100% Guaranteed Kindly choose from these three modes of payment (wire transfer, diplomatic cash payment and ATM card).

Poster Comment: MY REPLY-DAWGGY GROWLS Today at 11:18 AM Dear Mr. Adelabu, First, thank you for your very courteous and professional notice regarding the cash, currently held in my name. As luck would have it, I already have all the money I could ever use, and frankly, a generous gift right now would only push me into an undesirable tax bracket. And, after what I just went through in order to structure and minimize my future tax liability I'm not anxious to start all over. As you no doubt know escape from the inevitable US gift tax is impossible (at least legally) and 10.7 M could adversely affect my carefully selected future deductions. The truth is, I have so much money that I spend a great deal of time searching for worthy causes that accept donations. In fact I'd like to set up a fund for Nigerians (and others) who have been seriously burned/injured while tapping petroleum pipelines. It is my understanding that no such aid is currently available, and too many people suffer because of it. (The fact that the injuries may have resulted from criminal activities does not dampen my desire to assist. We all do what we must to survive) Therefore, I feel confident enough to extend this offer: If you'd be interested in helping me with my anonymous philanthropic work I would consider retaining your services for that purpose. If a paid position as an officer in my umbrella charity organization interests you, (and it can be lucrative) then please begin by sending a copy of your passport and driver's license so that my people can verify your bona fides. (After all, this is the Internet and some people, particularly from your country of Nigeria devote their working lives to on-line swindles of gullible people worldwide.) Although I'm confident that your offer is legitimate, my lawyer and security people firmly believe in, "Trust, but verify". I've been assured that there is simply no way anyone could falsify those ID documents, once verified through INTERPOL and accompanied by a notarized statement attesting to your signature and their validity. Therefore, we can proceed immediately if you accept this offer and submit them. And, because your location will assure that all claims are physically verified (and your professional integrity is above reproach or question, minimizing suspicion from unfortunate souls who aren't expecting any assistance) you can also inhibit access to potential swindlers and "ne'er do wells" who may attempt to submit false claims for persons who aren't eligible, i.e. fictitious persons, the deceased, those whose injuries don't meet the criteria, persons looking for a career change from the traditional 419 scam, etc.,. I await your reply. Thanking You In Advance, H. Q. Schwartz _______________________________ Imagine my surprise when I received an e-mail that was essentially addressed to "DEAR OCCUPANT" informing me that I was to receive a fortune from "the unpaid Contract/inheritance/lottery fund." Am I supposed to pick one? "You are required as a matter of urgency (Huh?) to reconfirm(?) your information including your name, phone number and your address for verification and immediate payment within 24 hours. To this effect, the sum of TEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$10.7m) has been approved for you." "....required as a matter of urgency....". Now that had to be written by a real, legit Santa Claus with millions to give away, right? But, what if I'm not eligible for " unpaid Contract/inheritance/lottery funds"? And, if I ask which I'm going to receive it may make him suspicious, right? I mean, it isn't every day that a dirt poor African nation is willing to send millions to a Caucasian American, particularly someone with no sympathy for descendants of slaves or Reparations.... Oh, what to do, what to do..... Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Years ago I wrote one back and told him I could have him killed for five dollars.
"Have Brain, Will Travel
ROTF -- love it! Any of yawl have a remedy for a land line that gets multiple solicitation calls per day? We've put her on the no-call list -- useless.
Picture those computer cafes in Nigeria (niggeria) where these swindles are hatched. Chickens and dawgs walking around, barefoot "bankers" trying to give away millions to unsuspecting Merkens, and all they need to make our dreams come true are our bank account numbers, debit card and pin numbers, etc.,. When I clicked the link in his e-mail it opened a page from the bank that showed a picture of a distinguished looking gent seated at a desk, wearing a tailored blue suit and very kewl, high dollar eyeglasses, and his resume in the financial services industry was detailed. I'm betting that the real culprit more likely resembles Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat on SNL.
I laughed out loud.
Wow! How much did he take you for? You didn't recognize a 419 swindle when your received it? :) Just kidding, Tortoise old man. You're prolly not that effin' stoopid!
I don't know about others but that image of Eddie kinda stuck with me!
