Got this today at work. The funny thing is that it was sent to a mailing list.


MR EZE OBI

BRANCH MANAGER,

UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA PLC



ATTN:





I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal, though I don't know you neither have I seen you before but my confidence was reposed on you when the Chief Executive of Cotonou Chamber of Commerce and Industry handed me your contact for a confidential business interest. I am a UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA(UBA), Branch Manager, located at Victoria Island , Cotonou, Republic Of Benin also currently with the bank up to date. The intended business is thus; We had a customer, a foriegner from your country, resident in Cotonou. He runs and maintained a Corporate Account in my branchand had the sum of US$27,623.400(TWENTY SEVEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLAR ONLY NO CENTS) as his lastbalance before he died as a result of auto crash. The customer died two years ago and uptil today non of his relative has come to claim his money from the UBA hence the deceased Custom!

er, MR. G. OSBORN died along with whom he filled in the bank's form as his NEXT OF KIN while opening his account with us. Having noticed this, I in collabration with two other top officials of the bank covered up the account all this while. Now we want you as our foreign partner since you are from the same country with the deceased customer to be fronted as his Next Of Kin and forward an APPLICATION LETTER OF CLAIM FOR INHERITANCE of theabove amount. We will use our position to delete and insert your name as the beneficiary of the NEXT OF KIN to his file in the bank for a smooth claims into youraccount for our disbursements. Your response is only what we are waiting for to commence the action as we have animously agreed to give you 25% of the total sum at the end of this transaction into your possession while 70% would be for I and my colleagues and the remaining 5% would be for any form of expenses that may be incurred during the course of this transaction !

isbeing awaited.

Some Nigerians have had stuff like this out for a while, and scammed Americans out of billions of dollars. Okay, so they scammed the stupid greedy ones, but still...

This was acutally on CNN, NBC or something a year ago.

UniqueTII 08-11-2003 12:14 PM

Yeah, I read a lot about it in the past, but this is the first time I've ever gotten a message like this.

kkw4p 08-11-2003 12:17 PM

I would make a joke about scaring the guy with baby powder as anthrax.. but I'm not sure I can do that.

That is so incredibly old. It used to be a fax scam before the internet even existed.

I used to get a whole bunch of those. I tried to respond, and sound interested, just so I could mess with them. My e-mails never made it through. I wonder, then, how they expected to scam me?

UniqueTII 08-11-2003 12:45 PM

Some woman strung them along for quite some time...I'll see if I can find her web page.



EDIT: That would be futile...the forum the link was on doesn't allow keyword searching.

I was just wonder that, idiots...

UniqueTII 08-11-2003 01:31 PM

The Nigerians asked for an account number to transfer the money into, and they'd then drain it.

j9fd3s 08-11-2003 02:15 PM

my friend did the one where they send you a cashiers check (fake) to buy your car. the check is for twice the amount so you are supposed to send them your car and the other half in cash, and then when the check bounces you get screwed. well my friend took the fake check and cashed it, and pocketed the money
