I'm gonna be rich!!

[xaigi]

I just got an email from a very nice sounding man in South Africa. He says that he is an Executive Accountant with the South Africa DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY and that he is willing to give me more than 5 million dollars if I help him transfer 21 million out of the country.

All I have to do is give him my bank account number and sign a few forms; then I'll be a millionaire!

Yep, the next time you see me, I'll be in a limo! Woohoo!!

Actually, the sad part is that someone somewhere must actually fall for this sht. Someone must be giving these guys bank account numbers and signing forms, otherwise they would move on to some other scam.

Maybe I should reply; instead of my bank account number, I can offer them the opportunity to invest in new penis enlargement technology or the chance to double the size of their breasts.

Dude, your being bullshitted. I know serveral other people, including me, that has gotten this mail. Its actually an illegal front for something, I cant' remember what.

one of our users at work got the same email the other day...that was one wild story, and they only need all of your personal info before they transfer the 25 mil...sounds like a good deal

Yeah, I got one of those too... but I kept the 21 million he transferred into my account.

If it sounds too good to be true........

Definitely a SCAM. Nigerian SCAM

The Nigerian Scam is, according to published reports, the Third to Fifth largest industry in Nigeria. It is the 419 Coalition view that, in effect, the elites from which successive Governments of Nigeria have been drawn ARE the Scammers - therefore, victims have little recourse in this matter. Monies stolen by 419 operations are almost Never Recovered from Nigeria, though there have been some indications of progress in anti-419 matters under the Obasanjo government

From US State Travel Tips

Recognizing a Business Scam

Each week, the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos, Nigeria (along with many other embassies) handles several "scam" cases in which businesspeople, many of them experienced in overseas transactions, have lost to confidence operators sums ranging from a few thousand to upwards of one million dollars.

Frequently, persons who have come to Nigeria to "finalize" such deals have been threatened or assaulted; in a few cases, scam victims have been killed. Unfortunately, local police and other officials have not provided assistance to those caught up in scams. (Although Nigerian immigration officials recently began warning likely victims upon arrival at Lagos airport, the U.S. Embassy's ability to help those already in the hands of their "business associates" is extremely limited.)

Dude, that the best you can come up with? Nothing about his GLARING ability to overstate the obvious?
No snide remarks about the intelligence level?

ah well, such is life....

 

[Freejack2]

Yeah I got in on that deal too. Gave the nice man my checking account #. The next day all 37 cents in my checking account was gone. Was a sad day.

 

[AvesPKS]

Heh, we would get this at work all the time.

 

[pdo]

this belongs in the hot deals forums.

 

[deerslayer]

Skoorb effect in action again?

 

[tk149]

I already got in on this Hot Deal when it was posted in the HD forum. I think the $21 million will come in sometime before my CompUSA rebates.

What are you talking about? I have my money sitting right in front of me, it actually worked!

 

[Rallispec]

dammit, you lucky bitch. when you get the 21 million, send some of it my way.

One of my fellow employees showed me a similar e-mail she had gotten.
I told her I'd seen many instances of similar e-mails.
She then told me that she happened to tell a firend about it is an FBI agent in the local field office here.

She said her friend asked her to forward her a copy of the e-mail, since the FBI is investigating these types of e-mails, thinking there might have ties to terrorist groups.
