[fluff34567]

Hi all, sorry for the long post but.... have a look what i recieved in my email -what a crock of horse!!!

FROM: MR,DAVID IDRIS.<br />TEL/FAX: 234 1 759 0379.<br />[email protected]<br /> BUSINESS PROPOSAL

ATTN: PRESIDENT / CEO,

<br />My name is DAVID IDRIS, a member of the Presidential<br />Task Force on Oil Spillage Clean-up. Early last year<br />there was a major oil spillage in the Niger Delta<br />Region of Nigeria which rendered over 70% of the<br />communities homeless.The contract was handled by a<br />foreign firm but because of the huge monetary profit<br />we envisaged we decided to over-invoice the contract<br />sum. Now the contract has been completed and the<br />original contractor has since been paid,but the<br />contract balance of US$38 million,which resulted from<br />the over invoiced contract sum that has been left in a<br />suspense account with the CENTRAL BANK of NIGERIA,is<br />what me and my partners are planning to take out of<br />the country for ourselves.The problem is as government<br />officials,we are not suppose to own fat bank<br />accounts,talk less of having foreign ones.To this end,<br />we are soliciting your assistance as a foreign partner<br />who can assist us and receive this amount into your<br />account. We are ready to share this money with you on<br />the basis of participation. We also have plans to<br />invest part of this money in any viable business in<br />your country under your care,as we are nearing our<br />retirement age. In any case, I received a reference of<br />you/organization from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce<br />and Industry ‘Foreign Trade Division’ as a reputable<br />organ that can assist us on this transaction. Please<br />if you accept my proposal do not hesitate to send me a<br />fax on 234 1 759 0379 or send me an e-mail on:<br />[email protected], so that I can provide you with<br />the basic procedures for the release of the fund. It<br />does not matter whether you or your company does<br />contract project of the nature described here, the<br />assumption is that you won a major contract and<br />subcontracted it to another company, more often than<br />not, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated<br />field win major contracts here in Nigeria and<br />subcontracts same to more specialized firms for<br />execution. BENEFIT For providing the account where we<br />shall remit this money, you will be entitled to 25% of<br />the entire funds, 70% will be for me and my<br />partners,while 5% has been set aside to cover any<br />expenses that may be incurred by both parties during<br />this transaction, both local and international. Please<br />I enjoin you to handle this transaction with utmost<br />degree of maturity and confidentiality because I am<br />still in active government service with the “NIGERIAN<br />NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION”. If I receive your<br />response on time, this whole transaction could be<br />accomplished within the shortest possible time based<br />on your interest and determination,since the money is<br />already in transit. Please, try to call me up to<br />confirm the receipt of your fax or e-mail.The lines<br />may be busy,but keep trying till you get through.

Yours faithfully,

MR. DAVID IDRIS (MNIM).

Hi fluff m8<br />I read as far as: The contract was handled by a<br />foreign firm but because of the huge monetary profit<br />we envisaged we decided to over-invoice the contract<br />sum.

And no further <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <br />Could they honestly believe that a scam (i hope it is one <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> ) like that would work.

I have a feeling they were left sick as parrots. Surely no-one would fall for it!

LMAO did they?

This is an old scam and it still works. They want bank sort code and account details - and then they promptly filch as much as they can get away with. They rely on their customers greed and gullibity - and it's amazing who falls for it!!<br />(not me, though!!) <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Variation of an old scam that usually arrives by snail mail. Always originates in Nigeria. Digdog is quite right, many people have fallen for it and had their bank accounts cleared out. You feel really sorry for them don't you? Heh heh! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I sent a reply to a similar scam when i received it via my another.com e-mail.<br /> i sent an attachment that flashed what a load of b******s. I was suprised when both returned asking "what is this bowlarkks. i do not understand. i am giving you the chance to earn a quick profit. please e-mail me for further info"

i got 1, same sort of turn out, from a DR. nas ahmed, claimed he was general auditor for the bank of nigeria, and could he put a cheque 4 $45,500,000 in my bank account, how could i refuse! kept him hanging on for weeks and had a good laugh!

 

[waynee2001]

saw a very simalar scam on the cook report about 4 years ago about an african general wanting to use peoples accounts to put money in only catch was they had to pay a tranaction fee which was 25 % of what they recieved to a dodgy bank official!!!!! some people cas be gualible but if somebody gives u a good enough story and a chance of free cash greed usually over comes common sense. one couple actually went for it remorgaged there house and lost the lot!!!!!! whats the old saying "if somethings seems to good to be true..........."
