What A Scam! Does Anyone Believe This Load Of Shit?
Hey everyone. Look what was sent in my email. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Do they really think that anybody with some sense would believe this lie? Yeah right, I'll help you...steal my personal information. I'd love to - let you scam me! Oh, go right ahead. I'll gladly send you my personal info - B!TCH or BITCHEEZ.
Question: This is the first time I've gotten something like this (I'm not including spam). How many times have anyone here received something like this?
I am Barrister IKECHUKEU NWOFIA, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney
to, Mr.Mike Nguyen,a national of your country, who used to work with
shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as
my
client. On the 21st of April 2001, my client his wife and their three
Children
were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express-road. All
occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately losttheir lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any
of
my clients extended relatives this has also proved nsuccessful.After
these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track 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 and property left
behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the
bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Eco Bank
nternational
where the deceased had an account valued at about Seven million United
States
Dollar(US$7,000,000:00) 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
2years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
thedeceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued
at $7,000,000:00 can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money.
60% to me and 40% to you I have all necessary legal documents that can
be
used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please reply this mail through my email rivate
box;([email protected] )
I got one like this. I gave him all my bank details but I cunningly removed half my money from my account just in case he tried to steal it all. Pretty smart, eh?

any self-respecting, professional attorney at law would be sure to use proper grammar and sentence structure in any type of correspondence, assuming this is taken directly from the email. it sure does sound like a enormous load of s#!t.

Actually, it went directly to my Inbox; the spams usually end up in my Bulk mail box. It's spam but not the advertising kind. It's a little higher up in my opinion since they're trying to scam me through my compassion and greed.
its such a scam, there was a big newspaper article a while back here in ireland over that, a nigerian guy doing exactly the same thing, screwed a lot of people out of their money
