I am Abdullah Bin Abdul Karim, an attorney at law. A deceased client of
mine,by name Mr. Michael xxxxxxx, who here in after shall be referred to
as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition on November
2002.
His heart condition was due to loses and shock from the death of members
of his family and associates on 12th October, 2002 in terrorist attack in
Bali as reported on:

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this deposit valued at Six Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S dollars
($6, 500 000) is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the
next of kin, or the account will be confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same
last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then
we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal
documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be
provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from many breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your
moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore
you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary
confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response.
Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. I will like you to
acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible and treat with
absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Barr. Abdullah Bin Abdul Karim

Right, now the maturity is out let me state my case. This arrived in my mail. I have not fallen for it or answered it. I would love a witty answer to send back but cannot think of one. I simply ask the question is the world that daft that it actually falls for this.

Has someone not managed to invent a double whammy to send back and totally fcuk up the original sender.

You dig!

It was worth it; well worth it.

Nope - haven't fallen for it and for further good interesting reading I suggest you read this article: Welcome to the Lagos suburb of Festac Town, known as the center of internet fraud.

Latchy

One of my earliest memorys of the internetz...recieving Nigerian scam emails

bronte

Hey op, I suggest a visit to 419eater.com Those guys make it their business to pwn scammers!

pebbles21

Sure if you cant trust an attorney of law ,who can you trust?

El Weirdo

In fairness, you should help him out. There can't be too many more people with xxxxxxx as their surname...

PirateShampoo

I lost my house and my wife on one of these scams.

TPD

419eater.com is the place you're looking for OP. The guy who runs the site got a carved bust of his head from one of these guys.

Jayo Robards

I've only fallen for a 419 scam twice in my lifetime. I think that's pretty good going tbh. It's the eloquence of the email that gets me.

You'd have to wonder why it took 7 years to hear about Michael XXXXXX's death.

OP if you want to continue this on further then ring the number and demand as to why you weren't invited to the funeral etc and why it took so long for you to be notified of your missing brother's death.

Lucky you then!

Only ever heard one person get caught, she rang in a radio show here in Cork to complain, think she was persuing Eircom for the money or something.

Dragan

Sounds like you need David Thorne.

pappyodaniel

'YA PWN that jerk....'

what has become of the English language?

You could do the exact same thing to him. A man with the same surname as you Mr Ndwarire was killed in an I.R.A atrocity 8 years ago......

See what his response is?:)

I swindled someone out of his house and ran off with his wife doing one of these scams.

Hope he never finds me or there'll be trouble.

Ciks

I really don't understand how anyone could fall for these scams! The 419 baiters are priceless though - http://www.419baiter.com/ is my personal favourite site for them
