I get this letter also. They want to set up an
off shore oil company. They want me to contact them. They are going to "set me up" with over 7 million dollars for going along with this.
I am very interested in selling this letter on
e-bay. Perhaps I can get over $50.00
Ciao..

In Canada, the Ontario provincial Police and the RCMP have a joint task force to deal with this problem. The email address is [email protected] and they usually deal with about 200 letters a day. Whenever I get one of these (about once a week), I tell them I would be too glad to help and ask them to respond to my other email address--the one above.
The best thing to do is to throw out the letter and not respond to it, or else they pass your address around and everybody emails you.

oh please I am bombarded by these idiots. If that would be true I would have been offered somewhere in the neighborhood of the yearly GOP of Nigeria to be moved from there. The cusin, the oil minister, the presidents son, the presidents uncle and the former presidents ex-wife.
Time that you wake up and smell the roses. The worst thing, our government does NOTHING to force the nigerian government to do anything about these scams. Why should we hurt our relations with a crocked government protecting american interests? Ah yes, the answer is: GWB is heavily involved in oil and Nigeria is an oil producing country. |

That's been goin on for years....in '92 I got tons of letters and bogus checks written in the amount of 200,000.00, drawn on the Bank of England, requesting PC's. One day I decided, what the heck, I'll invest in a phone call to England, no such account. |
