jdmwill · 09-30-2008, 09:49 AM

ok so i receive this email in my junk pile today. so waht should i do play alomg or just let it go. lol

Good day,

I am the Director of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remittance
Department of GLOBAL SECURITY BANK here in Burkinafaso I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal. In my Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of (US $12.1 Million US Dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, The account belongs to the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but naturalized in South Africa and contractor with Anglo Gold.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

You can read more about the crash on visiting this site; http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa...ash/index.html it is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to your account as the next of kin or business associate.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remains dormant after five years; the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I will like us to share this money mutually on two equal halves between me and you .

Please note that I don't have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY.

I will indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged information and must be strictly confidential.

Best Regards.
Mr.Ali Royo.

OutToWinPAHC · 09-30-2008, 08:32 PM

Yeah I get a ton of these too..... They are called a 419 scam. They say you got all this money and if your stupid you contact them. They tell you there is a fee to process the swift transaction but they can front you the money. They will send you a fake check for 5 or 10K and they want you to money gram it to them in Canada most of the time. So you cash the check, send the cash, the check bounces and your out.

419 Scam originated in Nigeria

Kerplunk105 · 09-30-2008, 08:33 PM

I wouldnt even know what to say. I get those emails all the time
