What a nice offer.

[Q'alooaith]

Hello, I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and maximum co-operation in a strictly confidential business transaction that involves a huge sum of money. Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must introduce myself. I am George Kolade, the chairman contract, awarding committee with Federal Maritime Authority. Last year, a contract was awarded to a German company to execute a federal government projects. The contract was successfully executed and the contractor has been paid. However, by virtue of my position as the chairman contract award committee, the contract was over inflected by me and some key officers next to me of which my share as the head of the committee amounted to $22.3 million U.S. Dollars (cash). As a civil servant, we are not permitted to have such huge amount of money in our private bank account and we are also banned from operating a foreign bank account which if we do, such would be frozen, when ever detected. I need your assistance to enable me invest wisely this funds and for you to provide a bank account which I can transfer the money into.As I have made up my mind to transact this business with you, what we need now is a banking details were we could transfer this money into. However, I will share the fund as follows: (1) 30% for you as the owner of the account (2) 60% for me (3) 10% is to be used in setting all transfer expenses and taxation. Please reply back through my e-mail address georgekolade@indiatimes.com immediately you receive this proposal for me to know your intention. Please include your telephone, or mobile number for easier and speedy access to you. Waiting to hear from you soon. Best regards, George Kolade Chairman Contract Award Commitee

I'll give them this, it's pretty creative.

Hehe, I got the very same thing a few days ago. But Princ Abo Kassal from South African Republic with his royal family on the run from the coup takes the cake... Too bad I deleted it

[robertthebard]

I get similar things all the time. I read somewhere about the scam artists in African nations being cut back, but some are apparently still operating. It is nice to dream though...

They don't easily give up, our Nigerian scamartists, don't they ? They must have had a few successes in the past, otherwise i can't see why they keep doing this. I can't believe there are actually people dumb enough to give their bankinfo to guys like this.

[Kakero]

Yes, they had successes, that's why this thing won't stop. I've read some of the stories in reader's digest. Unfortunately the people who fell for this kind of scam are the ones that are "well educated" people.

[Jorath Calar]

Wow, you should totally take this offer, I had a similar offer recently and decided to run along with it, and they were so nice and polite, I expect to get my millions anyday now...

[Q'alooaith]

Ahhh, good luck with that.

*waits for Jorath Calar's name to appear in the paper for funding illigeal activity*

[Iron Greasel]

Well answer him! Say that you're scared of giving your bank info in the internet and ask to meet him in person in some really crowded and expensive place. Don't show up. Then when he mails you and asks for a reason for this, tell him you meant some other place.

My favourite dodgy emails at the moment are in two different halves.

The top half is about some great adult site or other, written my an cretin who can't spell.

The bottom is just some completely random stuff.

i just don't get the bottom bit at all
