LOL they are a nuisance here is another i recieved, i guess air travel is no longer safe. From: "SANNI MOHAMMED" <[email protected]> Add to Address Book Subject: MESSAGE FROM MR. SANNI.MOHAMMED.TREAT AS URGENT Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 08:58:58 +0000 FROM THE DESK OF MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER BANK OF AFRICAN OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK BURKINA FASO. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 22.85m US Dollars ( twenty two milllion eight hundred and Fifty thousand us dollars)in an account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer who died on 31th JULY 2000 IN SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT IN PARIS FRANCE along with his entire family. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for me and 10% would be set aside for any expenses that would be incur during the process of the transfer Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through my Email box Your's faithfully MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED.
Steve, don't you have your spam filter set? Crap like that goes directly to my virtual round file. Unfortunately some of it sneaks in.
It is only rarely that they get through but still they annoy, i wonder if anyone as ever got caught by one of these?
Sadly some have fallen for the less elaborate ones, there are websites dedicated to playing these losers along and some have even got money out of the fraudsters first, there was a thread about it a couple of weeks ago in this section
When I was into karting I used to get loads of the £1,500 offers for a £50 item, that was before these ridiculous offers.
