Goodday TO You!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your
Confirmable Bank Draft of $350,000 United States Dollars,
but I did not hear from you since for a couple of weeks
now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has
expired or getting near to the date of expire and
Dr.Wilson the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft
will
get to your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $350,000 USD UNITED STATES
DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under
expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months
Course and I will not come back till ending of
July 2008.

What you have to do now is to contact SWIFT EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY
as soon as possible to know when they will deliver
your Consignment to you because of the expiring date. For
your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge,
Insurance premium.

The only money you will send to the SWIFT EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY
to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in
your country is($290 .00 USD) Two Hundred And Ninty United
States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the
Courier Company so far.Again, don't be deceived by anybody
to pay any other money except $290 .00 US Dollars.
I would have paid that but they said no because they don't
know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
You have to contact SWIFT EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY now,
for the delivery of your Draft with this information
bellow;

1 Your Full Name:
2, Your Delivery Address:
3, Your Cell Phone Number:

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address
and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any
mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the
tracking number to enable you track your package over
there and know when it will get to your door step so that
you can sign on it. Let me repeat again,Try to contact
them as soon as you receive this mail and ask them how you
will make the security fee of $290 usd to them to avoid
any further delay and remember to pay them their Security
Keeping fee of $290 .00 US Dollars for their immediate
action.

Note this. The SWIFT EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY don't know the
contents of the Box.

I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not
know the contents was money. this is to avoid them
delaying with the BOX. Don't let them know that box
contents is money ok

Yours Faithfully,
MRS. MARIAM BENSON.

 

Now what on earth sound's fake about that.

 

you are welcome to go for it

 

No thanks.
I was being sarcastic.

 

I will send a money order right away.

 

Yep, it is pretty much standard stuff but I don't get them often anymore so I thought I would post it and let some of the new users see it that might not have ever gotten one of these "golden offers" Hopefully most of our members are way to savvy to fall for something like this.

 

Oh NO.
Is this really a fake ??
Aarrgghh: I've been taken in ...again
I've got to check b4 replying to these.
It just sounded sooo real
I just cant believe people would abuse my trust like this

 

The check is in the mail...whoo hoooo $$$$!

 

Shucks, it fell overboard on the way here and got soaked, was unusable as cash or clothing.

 

Hello,
They had me at the word "demurrage."
Mrk

 

What's the problem, oh ye of little faith? I have received the money and am now on an all-expense-paid trip to Africa, so I can thank Mrs. B in person.

Oi vey -- such a dill, such a dill!

 

Why didn't she use an English spelling checker in her email-software ?
Most probably an average, less-knowledgeable user, who needs a visit at Wilders.

 

I think you all got it wrong, this is no con job but a cunningly crafted Zen riddle, and it works, my brain is still tied in a knot from trying to make sense out of it

she may have going by the results I've seen from some speel cheakers I've seen

 

and then...on a serious note..
They are triers:
I'm still getting incredibly well crafted "Official" letters from various well known "banks ' and service agencies wanting "verification" checks.

Just "validate here" requests.
The graphics look so authentic and the language is well crafted: It's almost hypnotic, and it must be successful sometimes.

The price of freedom...

 

Probably a consignment of fake paper money. How about sending a fake money order and then track to see where it bounces around the financial systems of the world?

234 is the code for Nigeria.

Yet the email server is in Denmark? What's the matter, no mail servers in Nigeria?

 

Just think of it like watching TV or at a movie theater. You can't believe everything that you see on the screen.

 

What! you mean movies aren't real

 

your absolutely right Longboard it is serious, we like to have a bit of a giggle here about this type of thing, and like you I've received some great looking emails from various banks asking for my details, although so far none from my bank. What is serious and a real worry is getting it through the heads of a lot of the punters out there that these things are a scam.
This is from an article in the Sydney Morning Herald last year that I'd posted in an earlier thread on scam emails.

financial advisers, lawyers and university professors !!!, o.k. they are from Queensland but even so there is something going on here other than stupidity - the old pot of gold at the end of the rainbow seems to be mighty alluring even to the well educated by the look of it, one could be unkind and say that greed may have taken a large part in their being scammed.

 

Hmmm, Nigeria. Imagine that.

 

I'm still getting emails (plain text) from girls, who want to be your friend, if you are lonely.
After awhile they come up with some heartbreaking story and ask you for money.

 

hahaha

and yet another graduated from
www.universityofnigeria.com

 

@strangequark:
yep.
I have received some phishes aimed at the NAB and "which Bank" along with all the others...
The fake NAB mails were almost exact replicas of the web page to look at.

Unkind lol.

 

the text may be plain but what about the girls, any pics or phone numbers

ah but I'm from Queensland so I'm aloud to say things like that
