Internet Scam?
Reply
Posted 2005-12-03, 10:00 PM
Check out this email I got from some dude. Not only does it have horrible grammar at some parts but, to me, it seems HIGHLY illegal to do what he asks. I censored his personal information.

Fucking 60%


Code:
Attention:Wesley Wyatt 
From Barrister, Small Olua (Esg)
*censored address* 
West Africa.
Tel/*censored number*
 
How are you today, hope all is well with you.
 
 I am Barrister Small Olua ,solicitor.I am the personal Attorney to Mr.P.B.Wyatt ,who used to work with the shell development company Lome Togo. On the 21st of April 1999,my client,his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Hillacondji Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the internet,to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
 
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the security company,where this huge deposits were lodged Particularly,security company were the deceased had deposit value of $43.750 million dollars,has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the deposit confisicated within the next three official working months.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your concent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this deposit value at $43.750 million dollars can be paid to 
you and then you and me will share the money 60%to me and 30% to you,while 10% shiiould be for expenses or tax as your government may require,I have all necessary legal documents that can 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 the law.You have to assure me that you will not sit on the fund when it is finally claimed. 
Please get in touch with me through my direct telephone number above to enable us discuss further.

Best Regards,

Barrister Small Olua (Esg)

HAHAHA!

I think they're on to you Wed! QUICK! FLEE THE COUNTRY!

Seriously, that is a seriously strange e-mail. What type of person would assume that after some relatives would die in a car accident in America, the one living relative (as it seems) would not notice?

Quote:
$43.750 million dollars
Now that is a weird number.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in helping the poor guy to get everything...

It's your typical "Nigerian Email Scam". Don't even waste time reading those, if you can help it.

It says that someone with the same last name as me died in West Africa and his attourney wants me to pose as a relative of his and get his "43.750" million dollars. He gets 60%. Pmph...

The Nigerian Prince emails or whatever are fucking old. This isn't even a conspiracy, it's just obvious.
