I just got the following e-mail:
Quote:
FROM: MR.PETER AMED.
AUDITTING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICAN (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO,
WEST AFRICA.

TOP SECRET

DEAR FRIEND,

I AM MR.PETER AMED,THE AUDITTING MANAGER OF BANK OF AFRICAN (BOA)
BURKINA FASO IN WEST AFRICAN CONTINENT. DURING MY INVESTIGATION AND AUDITTING IN THIS BANK,I CAME ACROSS A VERY HUGE SUM OF MONEY BELONGING TO A DECEASED PERSON WHO DIED ON 31ST OCTOBER 1999 IN A PLANE CRASH WITH HIS WIFE: VIEW THE SITE :
(http://www.zenpageweavers.com/malikahti ... flight.htm) AND CNN
NEWS:
(http://www.cnn.com/US/9910/31/egyptair.families.02/)

BANK OF AFRICA GOT INFORMATION AFTER HIS DEATH THAT HIS TWO CHILDREN WHICH THEIR NAMES DID NOT MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE SITE WERE AMONG THE VICTIMS.THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDLING HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH FUND REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER TEN YEARS IT WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND

AND THE FUND HAS BEEN DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY EITHER FROM HIS FAMILY OR RELATION BEFORE MY DISCOVERY TO THIS ISSUE.THE SAID AMOUNT WAS US$13.7M (THIRTEEN MILLON SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).

MEANWHILE THE TRANSFER OF THIS FUND WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE DECEASED TO THE BANK OF AFRICA,AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE THE FUND WILLBE RE-TRANSFERRED AFTER PAYMENT APPROVAL IS GRANTED.SO,THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN OR BUSINESS PARTNER ON THIS TRANSACTION IS
OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND I, AS A BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED.

MOREOVER,I WILL NOT FAIL TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. AND ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION,YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO 40% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION, WHILE 10% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO TAKE CARE OF EXPENSES THAT MAY ARISE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER AND ALSO TELEPHONE BILLS, WHILE 50% WILL BE FOR ME. DUE TO THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DORMANT FOR MANY YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF THE OWNER,YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AN UPFRONT EXPENSES WILL BE INVOLVE ON THIS TRANSACTION BEFORE THE FUND
WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO ANY OF YOUR ACCOUNT BY THE BANK OF AFRICA. AND IT'S BOTH OF US THAT WILL PAY AN UPFRONT EXPENSES WHICH WILL BE INVOLVED ON THIS TRANSACTION IN ORDER TO ENSURE A SMOOTH ANDSUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THE FUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

I WILL BE HERE IN THE BANK OF AFRICA AND MONITOR THE WHOLE TRANSACTION WITH YOUR ASSISTANCE UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE TOTAL FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT PEACEFULLY.ONCE YOU CONFIRMED THE TOTAL FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT SUCCESSFULLY, I WILL COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR MY OWN SHARE OF THE FUND.UPON RECIEPT OF A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM YOU,I WILL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE
TRANSACTION AND APPLICATION FORM YOU SHOULD SUBMIT TO THE BANK AS THE BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND.

PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY VIA MY E-MAIL ADDRESS

I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR URGENT REPLY.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR.PETER AMED.

I'm gonna go for it!!! :D

In about a million years. What am I really gonna do? I dunno. I could reply and say "Can I use PayPal?" I've only got something like $10 in it right now. Or, come to think of it, he doesn't ask for my bank account information. Only that I have money. Or rather, that I "confirm the amount of money" in my account. Which for all I know would mean giving my account information. But that doesn't mean I can't act all confused and say "I have $200." But then this whole thing confuses me, so maybe I'll just ignore it.

I'll tell you what. This would be a little more believeable if the guy gave me a reason why I was chosen out of the billions of possible e-mail addresses.

Here is the best way to get a good laugh from this. go on yahoo messenger and tell him to sign on. Lead him on, give him a fake name. Say your name is Mario toadstool and let him show you the fake check. All for a good laugh.

Considering actually falling for the scam? No. Considering playing along as a joke? Maybe they are, but I already deleted it.

This is actually a prominent industry in Nigeria and a few other more industrialized nations.
All such things are scams; they even have a special word for people who accept their offers- I can't recall exactly what it is, but it means something along the lines of prey or fool.
