Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Monday, October 11, 2004

My thanks to Celestine for sending me this scam.

It follows the "we have a dead person with your surname" format.

They scammers try to get the recipient to commit fraud, by asking the recipient to pretend to be related to a dead person who didn't really exist anyway.

There is no dead body, there is no money; it is just a scam.

Dear Young Compilment

I am Mr. Alex Chiromah, Divisional Head, Foreign Operations Office with
the International Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one
late Engineer Walter Young, of your country, who till his death was a contractor
with Impressario Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian
Ports authority. On the 28th of November 1999, Engr. walter, his wife and
their two children were involved in a car accident along Gwagwalada express
road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.


At the time of his death, Walter had a deposit of $15.6 Million which was
proceed of a contract work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports authority.The
payment was made with an Ecobank cheque which I personally cleared.


Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his
deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this
matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his
deposit.

It is not a very difficult thing to do especially as you share the same
last name with him and it will not take time too. All we need is to change
the name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer database
and we file in an application for the release of the fund through the Probate
Office in your name.

It does not necessarilly mean that you must be here to conclude the deal,we
may request that the money be sent to Europe or even the United States for
payment. Please contact me as quickly as possible on email;.We
will talk about the sharing ratio as soon as you get in touch with me.PLEASE
MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE GIVEN EMAIL ADDRESS Email;

Kind regards,

Mr Alex Chiromah.
