This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not met. The message could be strange but real, if you pay some
attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the
sake of your integrity.Please accept my apologies.In bringing this
message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intention of
causing you any pain.
I am Mr. Ali Hassan Al-Majid Jr., son of the Ali Hassan Al-Majid
Chemical Ali the cousin to Saddam Hussein of Iraq, whom there is wide
spread speculation by the foreign media especially was killed due to
bomb attack on his house. I managed to get your contact details through
the internet myself. Time is of importance and I was desperately looking
for a person to assist me in this confidential business. My father
before the commencement of the war in Iraq had to move all his valuables
such as cash and precious materials worth Hundreds of Millions of US
Dollars to a security companys vault in one of the European countries.
All documents pertaining to release of these valuables are in my name
and in my possession. Before you can get access to it I have to give you
the necessary documents, the password to the vault, to allow you to the
vault. I am therefore soliciting your help to represent us to receive
this money and transfer in bits into your account before the next
government gets wind of the funds. You know my father was a stout member
of the Iraqi govt. before his death.My reason for doing this is because
it will be difficult for the next government to trace my father's money
to an individual's account that has no relationship with the family.
I am currently and temporarily living in Iran and as refugee status, I
intend to communicate with you via the internet and telephone but my
access to communication facilities at this point is restricted.
Moreover, the political climate in Iran at the moment being so sensitive
and tensed because of war in Iraq. When you are ready I will give you
the information needed before you can get access to the 2kg of AU gold,
85g of pure Diamond and raw cash of USD50 Million America dollars.
PLEASE YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED. _________________ Joined: 16 Dec 2002

Can't get enough of those Nigerian Scam Spams.
Here's some info about them:
http://www.quatloos.com/cm-niger/nigerian_scam_letter_museum.htm
http://www.potifos.com/fraud/
http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/strategy/nls.asp
There's a site out there where a guy actually takes these punks for a ride and makes them fly around the place thinking he's going to deliver a sum of cash... of course, while they're getting off the plane in Amsterdam, he's documenting everything and putting it on a website - some of it is hillarious... wish I could find that one...
Either way, it's funny (and sad), KB, that yours utilizes the tradgey in Iraq as a means of selling the idea that this is real.

I never got one, but was aware of them, before a few months ago. Since then I have gotten one of them ever week. Whats worse of that some people do fall for them.
Just think if I followed all the letters I got I could be about 100 million dollars richer Now only if it were that easy I could retire and do a lot more caching.
I believe I read that webpage about the scam a while ago. |
