I received this mail ...what you think about itATTN: Tam, My Good Friend,

I hope this mail will not come to you as a surprise. I meant not to interrupt your box with my mail but to pass a very urgent and profitable Business proposal and well approaching matter across to you. I implore you to read and understand my purpose of contacting you in regards to this mutual transaction, which will bring us to a bright and successful business ahead. Although I do not know you, neither have I seen you before but after taken enough time to study your personal and business profile through business inquiry. And I am very much impressed by your good records and credentials. Based on this, I now have the confidence and trust to transact this important and very urgent business deal with you, with the hope of investing a very high amount in your country, also wishing to invest in real estate business.

After going through your profile I decided to contact you for this mutual business transaction. I am Mr. Adeseye Ogunlewe the new Chairman of Works (FMW). I assumed duty in the Federal Ministry of Works (FMW) under the civilian regime of, President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in June 27th, 2003. Immediately I resumed office as the Senate Chairman on Works, I discover that a United State based contractor named Jefferson Douglas won a contract in the year 1997 from the Federal Ministry of Works (FMW) through the Federal Government of Nigeria worth $55.5 Million United State Dollars. And he was paid the sum of $40million United State Dollars up front, the contract was to construct some roads and reconstruction of some bad road in other local government area here in Nigeria under the military dictator, General Sani Abacha (the then Head of State).

Mr. Jefferson Douglas executed the contract dully and the projects have since been commissioned. But up till now the balance of $15.5 Million United State Dollars have not been paid to him. The funds are in Foreign Currency and we cannot have access to them unless we move them out of the country. Once the funds are moved into your bank accounts, we shall destroy all documentation to avoid trace, and then meet you up in your country for the sharing of the funds according to our agreement. The Federal Government Nigeria President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo after his indoor discussion with President George W. Bush of United States of America on his visit to Nigeria on 12th of July 2003. President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo gave an instruction to the Ministry to pay all the contractors that dully executed their contract legally, all there out standing contract depts. He also said that all contractors should go through CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN)for immediate payment of their contra
ct sum. Just as he promised when he met with the international bodies that he would make sure that his office pays off all the foreign contractors their contract depts.

So I decided to look for Mr. Jefferson Douglas, it was then that I discovered that he’s dead since 2001. And none of his relatives/family members has come forward to claim this money. At this juncture, I am seeking for a trustworthy foreigner who will assist me in transferring this money into his account, as the relation/family to the late Mr. Jefferson Douglas.

That is the reason why I am seeking for your assistance in transferring this money into your account and I am ready to give 30% of the total sum to you. And 70% will be for my family and I, and I also want you to understand that this transaction is 100% risk free, in fact there is no risk involve in it.

And I also want you to understand that it will take only 5 working days to get the approval in your name for immediate transfer of the money into your account as soon as I hear of the approval from you.

I will go forward for all the necessary approvals, to enable the Ministry permit the payment into your nominated Bank account. I wait your urgent respond, kindly send your reply to my private email address: AD_OGUN@yahoo.com


Best regard,
Mr. Adeseye Ogunlewe

GQ, that's a pretty standard Nigerian fraud email. See potifos.com/fraud for those.

This message board is specifically about those Nigerian scams which take the form of a lotto or sweepstakes. The email, which is sent to millions of recipients, declares each one the winner of a fabulous prize. However, there is some "process" you have to go through to claim your winnings -- i.e., an opportunity to scam the gullible.

Well, do I ever feel real stupid! I am so gullable, I suppose. I received one of those fraud emails and answered the stupid thing. And even filled out one of the forms. I hope that I wasn't even more stupid than I think I was. I am not one to know alot about computers anyway, and I try to not open mail from folks I do not know-but this has gotten me very freaked out. Wish I would have looked it up sooner. Thanks for the information.

Sorry, Sunday, but the Nigerians are flooding our personal mailboxes with messages beseeching our urgent attention, full of flattery and lies.

This has also proved unsuccessful, after these several unsuccessful attempt, I have decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I got confisted or declare unserviceable by bank where this huge deposit where lodged.Particularly the Union Bank Plc, where the deceased deposited a huge some money he got through a contract with the Federal Government.Since nobody has has come forward to make claim to this money,the money is about to be put into government's account according to the law of this country,which stipulated that such an account which has been dormant should be kept in the government's account.This fund will certainly be mismanaged or stolen by the top officers in power.Since you have the same last names,

Question--
Isn't theresome way legally that we would be able to try and claim money they have said we are owed--??

Edited by author 09-23-2004 04:33 AM
Is this a Nigerian scam?
All of the contact points seem to be Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, the U.K., and sometimes Italy.
I've seen only one reference to Senegal - and that from from a free email service.

http://www.incompetech.com/gallimaufry/lucky.html
Here are about 75 examples of lotteries I've won in the last month.

I just received one of these bogus e-mails...it reads as:

FROM:MR ELEKO YETU
ZENITH BANK NIG PLC
9/10/2004
DEAR FRIEND
I am an Account Officer with Zenith Bank Nig Plc ,My name
is Mr Eleko Yetu,a Banker. I am the personal Account
Manager to Eng Micheal E sparrow, a National of your

servicing Firm here in Nigeria. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client,my client passed on as a
result of a heart attack. Since then I have made
several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
client's extended Relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposits were lodged, particularly the Zenith Bank Plc
Where the deceased had an account Valued at about
($35 Million US Dollars) has Issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin. Or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that
this account valued at ($35 Million US Dollars) can be
paid to you. The sharing modality is till open and

for more details regarding to this transaction.

Very Funny....

In response to the query below, any attempt to claim money from these "lotteries" would be fruitless. You'll never find the supposed (really fictional) lottery organization, and meanwhile, they will use your personal and bank details for identity theft.

I just received in the post a similar LA PRIMITIVA, Loterias y Apuestas de Estado letter informing me of my winning ticket etc. Is there anyone that this should be passed to? Given that it is fraud purporting to take place in Spain, should the Spanish Fraud police be informed? Does anyone have any idea how candidates are selected? I just wonder why I received one of these letters and how they got my name.

I just a version of the bogus lotto email...and replied. It did not strike me as a version of the Nigerian email scam until I tried to research the company on the internet. So I replied to a "claims" agent via a netscape address. If I report the email to netscape, will netscape at least kill their account? Is the FBI still investigating these scams? Anyone have the fax number to send a copy in?

Thanks.

I´d like to pass on to you the following message I received on Feb.15,2005 from a so-called LUCKYDAY LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL. I have no doubt that it is the same bogus lottery mentioned in other E-mails sent to you.:

I received the exact e-mail dated June 3, 2005. I have always been told if it sounds to good to be true.... it probably is. I'm sure this is no exception to the rule.

I also received the same message ( $500,000 Lottery winner). These kind of emails are similar to the ones that tell you about a princess in Nigeria who has a husband who was killed and left her millions of dollars that she wants to free them out of the country. Of course, she will ask you for money to free the millions ( any excuses). Here is the lottery spam email. They tell you you won $500,000. But to receive them you have to pay for a fee or at least the price of the tricket. They send this kind of email to millions. They expect few thousands dummy people to respond and pay. They will surely make a big sum - rather a fortune in Nigeria. TAKE CARE DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. Any way here is the same email that was sent to me:

Thanks for you guys warning me of this scam. Though it sounded good and that they didn't ask me for any money up front, I kind of felt like it was a scam. Been there...done that. Thanks and I will have my lawyer friend get involved as well.

I was a bit suspicious as well. My email arrived yesterday (7/6/05). Same song and dance... I'm now $500,000 richer! LOL I wonder if the All Powerful Mr. Gates knows that his name is being used to promote this scam. Anyway, thank you for the heads up

riccomic

P.S. Check out issue #115 at www.scambusters.org It addresses new variations of this scam and what to look for.

I rec' that same letter stating that I won $500,000 dollars and they will email me later with the information that I need to process my winnings-I know that this is a lot of shit and the sorry S.O.B. need to be put in JAIL.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!

Edited by author 08-29-2005 02:18 PM
I recieved the same email 8/26/05 but in mine he asked for my account number. isnt there anything we can do to get these guys? These people were from south africa. they couldnt write proper english. when i called it sounded like he was on a cell phone. Who gives away 2 million over a cell phone?!!! He went on to tell me that if i followed all his directions i would get "my money". its very disapointing how we as humans beings do things like this to eachother.

Well what I did was I email him a 4 page document requesting that his bank pass all the operation and complete legalities to my bank. I told him that I wanted the bank account where the money was going to be deposited to have the USA International bank transfer the money so all tax regulations could be taken care of. I also requested that I will not pay any fees until the money was in my hands.
This was three months ago. I am still waiting , he,he,he,.... :-)

< replied-to message removed by QT >

After I received my message and did a little research online (snopes, scambusters, etc.) I filed a complaint with the FBI and FTC. Both agencies have internet/email scam programs. We'll see if it was worth it!

Beware: I received an Award Notification E-Mail from African Global Lottery/International Programs......I was to say the least....."EXCITED" (I know, call me naive)! They indicated I had won $ 347,828.87 (U.S. dollars)!

As you could imagine being a 1st timer (scammed) that is, I actually thought I had won this! I contacted CitiBank-Nigeria and did some investigating......i'm already broke! I had my winnings spent.....oh well......The thing that gets me is how can people do this? It is sooooooo mean....anyway......beware of the African Global Lottery coming soon to your area!

now it says he is from a bank and I can claim a dead person's money owned by his bank, funny he did not change his name in these letters?
however, thanks for posting this info on the net.

I got the mail informing me that i have won 350,000USD, from Australian lottery, I was not socked or surprised as it is very clear in my mind that NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD. Secondly, i never applied for such lottery, so how it is possible that from other corner of the world some one wants to transfer this large amount to me. I don't believe in this type of e-mails , will advise all please do some thing about these newly borne criminals . I have no rich Uncle Tom and Hary around the globe and don’t expect any thing free from any one,
But only One Mighty GOD is the one who can give you such surprises.

I too recently received the african Global lotto winning message for $386,876.87. and I too actually thought I had won even though I had no memory of entering such a contest last year. No matter, it was exciting and fun to believe it
even though all ofr my friends told me it was a scam.I figured they were just being to negative.
I contacted the Director of the Remittance dept of the Citibank Nigeria PLC as directed by my account manager in the lotto.
 My first suspicion was that their email kept getting reported as undeliverable by aol. However, I kept trying to satisfy all of the requirements for transfer which had not cost me any money up until this point.
They wanted a bank account identifying info and some personal info next, So here I dcecided that I would not use my checking account for them and went to my bank and opened a new savings account just for this transfer purpose. It cost me $200 to open an account that would be free from fees, however my financial advisor there told me that I could be wiped out if I gave the identifying numbers out.
I decided then that I wanted to see this through as far as I thought sane and so long as it was free.
So I camr home to send a long email to that Citibank guyin Nigeria that would essentially call his bluff on the transfer requirements. I had supplies all of the info that I had. I do not have an international driver's license or passport numbers that he wanted. I kept believing ang finally researched that africian lotto and citi bank NigeriaPLC to get the scoop on what was going on and here I am with you all now backing out as soon as they ask me for one penny. John Calande 203-881-9577

I received the e-mail claiming to be a winner of US$2,500,000.00 in cash. It seems the dollar amounts are getting bigger! Thanks for the info...I'm glad I was thinking this morning!

People.........here's another person who recieved a bullshit mail saying that i have won 700.000 euros { i'm not sure how much dollar that is....}and offcourse i immediately checked the net and found out it was a scam. Fuck, these people are dangerous, i feel so sorry for those who don't have enough braincells, they get in serious trouble. If you like to read my scam-email i'm happy to forward it to you, so you can tell others. thanx for the opportunity to communicate with others about this incredible dangerous shit, i prefer a virus if you know what i mean, people be aware, only the sun shines for free !!! Peace and love from Amsterdam, Richard

i win us$250.000.00

WOW! I'm gonna be rich!!! I've had 5 reltaives i never knew die this week worth millons! And I even won the lotto worth over 4 million euros. Not sure how much my net worth is now but hell I can affor that ocean front property I saw last week in Arizona. Got call my real estate agent!!

You know I wish they would just knock it off and quite sending this junk. Even better people wouldn'y belive it.

Dear Mike,

Finance.We can hold back because of the predicarments
to complete the transaction, I have been exhusted in
bringing this business up to the present stage, As you
know from every indications of what we have gone
through. But all hope is not lost because I wish to
announce to you that we have good news from Uganda, as
you know. We have finally sourced out an
Investor who promised to take care of all the expenses
involved in this important business.

The Investor is engaged in a Big/joint company of
three and he said that he wouldn't want to sponsor our
transaction from the money in their joint account
because he doesn't want other of his company s members
to know that he is giving us loan/sponsoring our
business, but he have promised to give us loan worth
of traveler s cheque and you are the only person who
is in position to receive the traveler s cheque from
him, change it over there in your country and send the
money to the Foreign Payment Director via western
union money transfer so that he can carry on with the
necessary documents and taxes , which he has to pay on
your behalf before the final remittance of the fund
into your designated bank account.


Now, contact the investor MR USMAN MUTABE with the
below information and also send him either your home
or office address so that he can send you the traveler
s cheque urgently via speed post. After which you cash
it over there in your country and re-send the money
back to Foreign Payment Director DR.KAZIM TAKAR
via western union money transfer. As you can
understand, the only thing that is delaying our
success to come true is only money, which we needed
earlier to secure all the expenses involved in this
important business, but I m very happy that God has
provided an investor who promised to take care of the
whole expenses involved in this transaction.

Finally, Uganda it s a free and tourist Country where
such transaction of large amount can take place
without the government asking any question, that s why
the senior minister has finally chosen Uganda as the
neutral country where the transaction can take place
smoothly without no delay. Contact Usman and get back
to me as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

NAME:USMAN MUTABE
E-MAIL: nk50nk@yahoo.com

You should realise that we don't have much time, and
the finance minister said that if we don't conclude
this transaction soon, that your name will be deleted
from South Africa's Ledger, which means termination of
the whole transfer on your name.As long we pay this
Inheriatnce Tax to Governement of South Africa,they
will issue us Certificate Inheritance and this will
stop the IRS from asking you much question about the
legitimate of the funds ,you dont have worry,because
if its not legal i wouldn't have envolve my myself in
it. So, contact Usman Mutabe now and get back to me. I
wait for your
response.

Regards,
Mr. Movietta.

Here, I received this the other day, and I have even spoken with the person who claims to be Mr. Douglas. You should see all the doc's I have been sent to show that this is real. I will gladly send them to you to post if you want them. I can be reached at gemini_two@netzero.net

FROM: DOUGLAS KOMO
PHONE:+27-73-188 0290.
Fax:+ 27-11-507-6192
Dear Sir;
I pray this proposal meet your kind cooperation. I am Mr.DOUGLAS KOMO a native
of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South
Africa Department of Mining & Natural Resources. First and foremost, I
apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this
magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this
medium. Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council
(SEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country during a trade
exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I plea to seek a
confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described
Hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top
secret because of the nature of this transaction.
Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an Executive
Accountant and with the cooperation of two other top officials, we have in our
possession as overdue payment bills totaling Forty - Five Million, Five Hundred
And Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ($45,560,000.) which we want to transfer abroad
with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive
the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive
such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South
Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore
account hence your importance in the whole transaction.
This amount $45.560m represents the balance of the total contract value executed
on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials
over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to
the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount
which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer
(T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application
through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and
privileges of the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that, should you be
willing to assist us in this transaction that is 100% hitch free, your share of
the sum will be 25% of the $45.560 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided
you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of
specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above Tel number or
my e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are
not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal
I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the
payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong Assurance
and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember to treat this
as very confidential because, we will not comprehend with any form of exposure
as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time
is of the essence in this business.
I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.And you can also reach me
with this private PHONE NUMBER 27-731-880-290 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Yours faithfully,
MR. DOUGLAS KOMO

thanks

so u said that uwon and u havent been given a cheque.sorry we didnt recieve any money from anywhere we are really sorry

Yeah, I did received all those "lotto winning emails" in the past and even now. But I never fall prey to these scams. I know from the start that it is bogus. How could people be so stupid to believe things like this? You know, just recently I played along with this fraud. I ask them how I can send my money to them. Then I told them I had already deposited the money to their designated bank. Then they would keep calling me to send or fax to them my deposit slip. Hahaha! Now I fooled them.

These thiefs it s really crazyhow they are not captured for harming the poor people that might belive this shit s true!!!!!!!!

Edited by author 10-20-2007 03:05 AM
Gosh, Do I wish it was true! However it seems to eazy to be a winner of such a great amt. when I have done nothing to earn it! I won't send my personal information..It's pretty crappy that these fools are out there just waiting to set you up for identity theft and who knows what else.

One day I will be a winner of a Lottery, only this time I will have purchased a ticket for a buck or two...

Don't trust this - bullshit !!!

Yeah - Wool itches in Middle Essex. It will be the poorest and most gullible who respond. I get a dozen of these a day, even finding them coming to my deleted items folder gets up my nose!Even worse when they are linked to cancer or death. All I can say is may the curse be upon you!!!

I recently tried a scam lotto win out by letting mr pinto know that i can only send my info and $15,000(as i'm going to get $1,500 000 in prize money,ha ha) instead of the $500 they wanted so as to release my winnings,only if they could send me $12,500 to my name care of my local post office as i needed the $12,500 to release the bogus $15,000 from an offshore account holding around $13,000,000.this potentialy gave them a $15,000 scam bonus.i'm still waiting to hear from mr peckerhead pinto!!

i recieved an idiot email.. juanuary 31 2008..

May 2008: I recieved this new letter this morning. Their English text is getting a little more refined, so reader beware. Vince Micado is in several scam emails.

Confidential

Greetings to you my friend,

I know this will come to you as a surprise because you do not know me. I am Vincent Micado, I work in Central Bank of Burkina-Faso, Audit & Account Director in charge of bills and exchange in the packaging and courier department.

I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal that I believe will profit both of us after completion. I contacted you after a careful thought that you might be capable of handling this project, which I explained below.

I got your contact among others from a search on the internet and i was inspired to seek your co-operation, I want you to help me clear this consignment that is already in Europe which I shipped through our Central Bank accredited courier agent. The content of the package is $20,000,000.00 all in $100 bills, but the courier company does not know that the consignment contains money.

All I want you to do for me now is to give me your mailing address, your private phone and fax number, and I believe that at the end of the day you will have 30% and 70% will be for me.

If this arrangement is okay by you, you can email me, for security reasons other modalities will be discussed as soon as you get back to me indicating that you are ready to partake in this transaction. Note: You will act as the real owner of the said consignment.

Also Note that this transaction is confidential and risk-free. I shall provide you with more details and how you shall proceed with the claim. Waiting for your swift response. Thanks and God bless you !!

Warm regards to your family,

Mr. Vincent Micado.

BEWARE =======================THIS IS A SCAM=============================
Dear Friend,

Good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. I would respectfully request that you keep the content of this mail confidential because of its nature and respect the integrity of this information. First of all I'll like to introduce myself and status, I am Thomas Williams, Staff of International Private Banking at HSBC Bank London. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and a financial portfolio of $8.5m United state dollars, which he placed under HSBC Bank managements two years ago for turn over on his behalf.

As the Chief Operations Officer of the private banking sector, I encouraged the deceased on his arrival to our bank on various growth of fund with prime ratings.The favored route in my advice to him was accessing data's on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managements.Based on my advise, attractive margins,acquired profit and interest stood at over $10m United state dollars,this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investment. Early 2004 my client asked that the money be liquidated because of an urgent investment requiring cash payments here in United Kingdom, and that the liquidated fund be deposited in CORPORATE SECURITIES CO, a security consulting firm based in London who are specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products and undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash.

This order was given to me in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week, this was the last communication we had. Sometimes this year I got a call from CORPORATE SECURITIES CO. informing me of the inactivity of the portfolio, since I was the only one who knew about the deposit, I immediately passed the task of locating my client to the Internal Investigation Department of HSBC, which now revealed that the person who suited his description was declared dead of a Heart attack in Cane, South of France. And in line with banking internal processes for account holders who have passed away, an investigation was meant to be launched to contact a possible surviving NEXT OF KIN to come forward as beneficiary of the fund but unfortunately when my client came patronizing our services, in his bio-data form, no next of kin was listed neither was there a TESTATE. My client only used numbers and codes to make the account he opened with us anonymous. At this juncture, I'll like to unravel the true position of this transaction, CORPORATE SECURITIES CO,has requested for statements of claim from me, and I alone knows of the existence of the deposit, for as far as HSBC Bank is concerned the transaction with our late client concluded when I sent the fund to the security firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer service and due process. The security firm has no single idea of what the history or nature of the deposit is, they await instructions to release the deposit to any party that I nominate as the beneficiary of the fund.

I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct Corporate Securities Co. to release the deposit to you as the NEXT OF KIN. Kindly let me know your true interest in this pending transaction so as to ascertain the proceeds, and I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few days. I implore you to discard this mail if you find no interest in this transaction, and if my offer is of no appeal to you, please dont be vindictive and destructive just delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.

Finally, I am sending you this mail without a measure of fear as to what the consequences are, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never comes in a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence, if we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.

I await your response.

Thomas Williams.
