Stupid Punts!

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

Monday, October 04, 2004

Our "friends" in Nigeria have written to me today; this time starting off by addressing me, rather incongruously, as "Dear Bogdan..".

It seems that the idiot writing this is, under the impression that my surname is Bogdan.

He claims to have $7M held in the account of the late Mr Bogdan, who has no surviving relatives.

Needless to say, our boy from Nigeria has tracked me down becaue I have the same surname; er, I don't???

He wants me to come forward as next of kin, to claim the money.

Same old bullshit, just less well presented.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Bogdan ,

I am Barrister Usman Bello,an advocate and Solicitor.
I am the Personal Attorney to Engr.Fredrick Bogdan ,a
foreigner, who used to work with shell Petroleum Development Company in
Nigeria.On The 21st of April 2000,my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to his
embassy to see if i can locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has all the while proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives (i.e.same surname) to locate
any member of his family but to no avail, hence I contact you.I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client before it is confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposit were lodged.

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about 7.3 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin of the deceased or have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days. Since i have been unsuccessful in locating
the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you are still a foreigner and share
the same last name,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $7.3 million
USD
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money, 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should 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. Please get in
touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.

Best Regards,
