Just got this email haha

Dear Sir,

We are making this contact with you because of the reliable information available
to us concerning your reputation and that of your company. This business request
may seem strange, but I crave your indulgence and pray you, view it seriously as
we re convinced that you would be capable to provide us with a solution to a moneytransfer
of Thirty Two Million,
Five hundred thousand United State Dollars (US$32,500,000.00) First of all I am
an accountant and Auditor of the Petroleum (special) Trust Fund (N.N.P.C) the Apex
Department of the Oil Industry in Nigeria.
I am also a member of its Foreign Contract Tenders Committee (FCTC). My principal
job/function has to do with the Appraisal and Approval of payment of contract awarded
by this parastatal. In the course of my duties, I discovered various over inflated
contract values totaling US$32.5Million. The said amount emanated from deliberate
over invoicing of old projects executed by some foreign firms through some government
officials.These officials have since been moved or retired following the inauguration
of the new administration. After due consultation with key members of the Tenders
Committee (FCTC),
I was mandated to seek and arrange with a trusted foreign National who can assist
us in transferring the above state amount out of Nigeria.Now that all the contracts
have been paid
following the completion and commissioning of the various contract, the above mentioned
sum through approved is still floating. We decided to transfer this money to a safe
and trusted bank accounts with a very reliable person to assist us after which the
funds be share in the
understated ratio.Your assistance is needed for two main reasons; (i) As government
employees ,we are not permitted by the Nigeria law to operateforeignaccounts.ii)Since
the initial contracts were executed by the foreign firms, only a foreign firm can
make claims or as a beneficiary for the purpose of transferring the money out of
Nigeria.We have unanimously agreed to compensate you with 35% of the total sum (
US$32.5Million ) if you are willing to render us your assistance as regards the
transfer. It was also agreed that 5% shall be set aside to offset incidental expenses
that might be incurred by either of us course of offsetting this transfer. The remaining
60% shall be our due share.All necessary arrangements required for a speedy conclusion
of this transaction have been put in place
with top officials of the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank
of Nigeria to enable us conclude the whole transaction within a very shortspace
of time.
What is required of you is first to furnish us with the following through my email
address. 1.) Bank details to be used (that is banks name and account number )
2.) The beneficiary's name,
3.)Your private / official telephone and fax number.While promising you a smooth
and hitch -free transfer of this fund into the account nominated by you, we want
you to know that this is very sensitive transaction which should not be disclosed
to any other party. This is very
important because this deals involves some high ranking Nigeria Government Officials
who would not want to be involved in any form of scandal.We however trust that this
will be the beginning of a lasting business relationship between you and us as we
shall appreciate your advice on the investment opportunities in your line of business
or any other type of
viable business in your country.If this deal interest you,reply me immediately through
my personal E-mail: iio_o1@myway.com for more details.
Best regards as we look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Your Sincerely,
DR ANTHONY DAVIS

Just like all the other spam that everyone of us have received before. No reason to post it.

AnTaoiseach

try and get everyone to email him with fake bank account details.

Oh you really don't wanna do that ... all you're doing then is confirming your email address to spammer b*stards!

AnTaoiseach

Never thought of that.
I suppose it would be too much to ask to get everyone to set up new email accounts just for this?
lazy b*stards

if no one replied no one would be sending them. there is obviously monetary incentive for people to actually type all this rubbish

smashey

Why doesn't everybody set up a hotmail account and just abuse him by re-sending the most abusive message you can come up with about 50 times. By abusive, i mean as personal as you can go with as many insults you can think off. No words or phrases should be off limits.

Actually we might as well delete this post it's pretty postless sorry I'm bored at work

esskay

Its not simply spam, this was a postal scam before it moved to e-mail. There are people stupid enough to believe this rubbish and actually send on details. They then suffer identity theft or have their accounts cleaned out. Still, its a lesson they will only have to taught once lol

Peace

The admins cannot delete this thread as it would set a precedent and then they would have to go around deleteing 98.3% of threads posted on boards.ie as they would fall in the 'utter pointless thread' category cause by 'boredom int he work place'...

Doodee

well there is enough of a turnover since the spammers pay for the addresses they get.

Remeber kids, dont post your emails online for collection.

Ri_Nollaig

Not always, surprisingly. Most Nigerians are still seeding guestbooks, although that particular source is drying up as most higher traffic guestbooks either inform would be guests not to leave an email addy, or simply close their books altogether. Usenet is another source of plenty for the scammer, although most usenetters are sufficiently savvy not to be taken in...

[Scammer] Ur informations and advisements regrading the topic of email addresses are well noted and understood by this office. ps note that this transaction is 100 percent risky free nd u will not be asked to pay any moneys for the modalities of this tranfser [/Scammer]

I took the liberty of sending an introductory (hardly ever read) mail. Form scripted reply should be back fairly soon...

This is cool, a joint boards bait should be hilarious!

Terry

Just a form query and a couple of subtle jokes. No need, if you log on, I saved it in the sent items

By the way, I havent forgotten about that dvd-say no more

failsafe

All the boards users in the world can't out spam a spammer, so i'm off to sign his address up to some porn sites!

RoundyMooney

Well, bang goes the chance of a comedy bait from that box anyways:(
