It's not Nigerians who are doing it. Chances are, someone in Western Europe came up with this scam. There have been other variants: the South African money scam, the Nigerian Oil Ministry Scam, something about Tanzania, and of course, this weeks fundraising letter from the DNC.

The sad thing is, people send these Yahoo adresses their checking account numbers. Suckers!

There's a Palm Beach County Voter in every bunch.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

>HONESTY AND YOUR ABILITY TO KEEP IT SECRET AND KEEP OUR OWN SHARE SAFE WHEN THE MONEY HITS YOUR ACCOUNT IS WHAT MATTERS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND AND CO-OPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER TO ENSURE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS SUCESSFULLY CONCLUDED.

You know, in a way, this is actually good advice for keeping a marriage together, let alone an international mail fraud scam...

Ms Cleo comes to mind, anyone stupid enough to fall for this, deserves to get ripped off.

You know, I'm jealous - maybe I wanted Nigerian oil money, but I never see these. All I ever get are stock "tips" for companies I've never heard of, and every once in a while I get an invitation to try products guaranteed to, uhhh, enlarge certain parts of me....

My favorite passage:

WE ARE LEFT WITH THE BALANCE OF US$25.5 MILLION DOLLARS AS THE OVER INVOICED AMOUNT, WHICH WE HAVE DELIBERATELY OVER-ESTIMATED FOR OUR OWN USE, BUT UNDER OUR PROTOCOL DIVISION, CIVIL SERVANTS ARE FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE OR OWN FOREIGN ACCOUNT

So they're criminal enough to supposedly steal $25.5M, but law-abiding enough not to open a foreign account surrepticiously.

More gifts and wisdom from Mother Africa. Our foreign aid welfare pays off.

Forward the email to your Congressman and tell him, "Here is where to get your money to build the ...... that we have been "needing" for so long." No need to raise taxes.

My business got two of these, The same nonsense but different story.
The first one wanted to use my business Name, Bank Account & Federal ID # and the second, was more like this one.
I fowarded both to FBI.

"This must work on somebody or the Nigerians would not keep on doing it."

Oh yeah, it definitely works on some people. My late father-in-law, for example. He received a phone call from a similar operation requesting that he send a $1000 cashier's check in order to claim a winning lottery ticket that "would take care of his family for life." You see, that hook worked on my father-in-law because he was slightly addled from intensive chemo and pain medication and he desperately wanted to see his family better taken care of after he died.

These con artists are the bottom feeding lowlife scum of the earth - lower than the lowest socialist share-the-wealth democrat race baiting poverty pimps. E-mails like this should be forwarded to law enforcement rather than posted as an opportunity to ridicule the victims.

I replied that if contract papers were prepared and sent I would give them to my lawyer to review, but yes I was interested. Nothing ever came back.

This has to be about the 40th time I have seen one of these types of supposedly Nigerian emails, posted on Free Republic. It's almost as common as the "I Am A Bad American" repeat post.
