I AM BARRISTER CHISOM
A SOLICITOR AT LAW
CONTACT ME WITH THIS EMAIL
ADDRESS (chisom_2009@myway.com)

Dear Friend,

I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we have not
met before. I am Barrister Chisom, a solicitor at law, I am the personal
attorney to Engineer Edward. A, qa national of your
Country, who used to work with Mobil oil Nigeria plc. Hereinafter shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their children were
involved in a car accident along Kano - Sokoto express Road while arriving
from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State.
All occupant of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since then I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has been unsuccessful. I came across your name andcontact, while I was
searching for Edward's relations, since my search did not yield the desired
result, I had to contact you for this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the finance house where these funds were deposited. Particularly, the
finance house where the deceased has an account valued $USD18 Million
Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to provide the Next of Kin
or have the fund consignment confiscated,and this altimatum expires by next
month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceed of this deposit valued
at $USD18 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax. Please, find , picture of the funds as was taken by my
client before it was deposited at the bank, because he made the money in one
of the Oil deals he had with our Oil Minister.
Also is the family picture of Engr. Edward. This is just to proof to you
that my proposal is genuine. I also have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Get in touch with me through my
emailaddress(chisom_2009@myway.com) so that we can proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
Barrister Chisom

I am sorry for any inconvinence i might cause you, i hope you understand.
Best Regards
Mr Peter

So, me being tyhe smartass i am, i had to reply.

::

att: "nest" of kin



Your email fills me with much joy as to know that i am simply one of many randomly chosen to receive your spam promising me millions of dollars if give you my name, address, and most likely bank details as well. The fact that your spelling and grammar is at times impossible to recognise as part of the english language is reassuring, as i am sure your government would only employ someone with a good grasp of the language to offer such a large and generous bounty. As your email is most likely filling up my computer with a virus or 1993 viruses as i type, im not sure how clever this reply is, but i had to express my deepest and most insincere regret over not being able to accept your offer of $USD42 million, which most likely never existed. also, why do you have a uk domain email address if youre from nigeria???????????

yours faithfully,

Why would someone from such a large company have a Lycos account rather than one from the company?

Why would they actually contact you? You cover anything like this in your current job? Why would they actually need some to bounce money around anyways?

I'd say bogus. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

Well, if you do go for it, clear the cheque first. Don't send the money off only to find that it bounces.

more than that, clear the check and wait I *tihnk* (find out!) it's 30 days till the money cannot be revoked.

In general though my thoughts veer to it's not a screw you over type scam, but simple money laundering, which could actually be more worrying with it's possible jail connotations?

Yes, so taking it to the bank and waiting for it to get cleared. It is all a bit strange indeed, especially as there is not much communication happening. I hope it's not something illegal like you say, Yakumo.

me claim and retrieve these fund from the Fiduciary Fund Holders and
transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment

2). The Transport Industry
3). Five Star Hotel, but you still come up with the business you know very
well that can give us more profit.

I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:

1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to .
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since iam an ORPHAN
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my

ubbrollsmile

Firetramp, as soon as that cheque clears put it straight into another account and disappear smile
Oh...and mines a pint wink
No seriously, take the cheque down the police station first thing in the morning, with a print out of all the thread. You may need to contact gumtree, or get the police to contact them to get the IP addresses of the person who posted it. Even then, they still probably wont be able to do anything.
But seriously, the likelihood is that the crook expects you to put the cheque in your account, then imeadiatly transfer your own money to the next account, only for the original cheque to bounce and be withdrawn, thus leaving you £2500 out of pocket.
Dont go and buy a new tv or car either, as the money wont be coming from your new cheque.

REMEMBER THAT THEY HAVE YOUR OLD ADDRESS frown

why would a reputable company (snigger) be using a "yahoo.com.hk" email address???





why would they use a ? question mark to signify the british £ pound symbol?



also note the two spelling mistakes (in the quote, NOT mine lol )



the double "pp" in "pproved" and the "Pounds

terling" missing the second "s"

The ? used to represent the "£" symbol is standard if the keyboard the original message is typed on doesnt have a pound sign, and so they probably used a "yen" sign.
English versions of windows do not have the "yen" sign in their default dictionary, and so display the "?" instead as the character used wasn't recognised.

I believe.... biggrin

Firetramp, any news about what's happened with that cheque?



The cheque bounced. When I told the guy on the phone, he hung up on me and I haven't heard from him since. (last week)
The bank sent me the cheque back with the message written on it: Theft reported.

Am I gonna get into trouble?

Ask a question and be a fool for a minute...don't ask and be a fool your whole life.

Hard to tell, I think you'll be ok if you didn't write the cheque and you had no way of knowing if it was stolen money. I think you should call your bank to check what happened though and maybe offer to co-operate with any enquiries. Try not to worry though.

Do they all realise that the they are using the same generic lettler everytime. You'd think they may try to put a bit more effort into changing the context of the mail. They may have a little more success.
