STATUTORY ANOMALIES ON YOU RECEIVING YOUR APPROVED
FUND AS AND
INHERITANCE.
FROM: DELIVERY AGENT
Dr David mark


Hello!!!

Firstly, I wish to introduce myself as a sympathizer of your situation. I
am the Comptroller of Fund Movement Terminal and Director of national
warehouse where abandoned fund/valuables consignments are dumped.

This is to inform you that fresh arrangement was made by me to conclude
the shipment of your consignment of funds to your country. I choose to do
it and make sure it has left the shores of Nigeria already before
contacting you. I found out that this consignment has been lying here
because of lack of contact and none payment of delivery cost This is why I
decided to use my connections as the Delivery/Shipment officer in charge
of the National Security warehouse. (This is where all the abandoned
consignments in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government of
Nigeria for seizure or destruction.

Therefore, this letter is highly confidential and top secret. For this
reason,you must not inform anybody about this letter or my contact with
you. You must keep my relationship with you to be topped secret and highly
confidential because as I have arranged your consignment to the Diplomatic
Security Company in Nigeria where the delivery will come from to your
house, so no one must know so that the fund will not raise an eye brow.

CONDITIONS OF THIS DELIVERY

1. You must keep my relationship with you highly secret/confidential.

2. You must not expose all the above information to anybody.

3. You must be willing to act fast on any information, directives and
advice from me and the Diplomatic Security Company in Nigeria.

Note: I know the content of the Box because I could see the amount you are
being owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria as an inheritance. This
is why I decided to get involved. You must also know that this arrangement
do not concern all the people that you have had contact with in Nigeria
before today as this consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the
Government, Hence my involvement.

As soon as I receive your response, I will give you more details on the
way of such arrangements and I will also give you the full contact
information of the Diplomatic Security Company in Nigeria as soon as you
have contacted me.

Therefore, further details will be furnished to you as soon
as I receive your reply.

Yours Sincerely

Dr David mark

Director Of National Warehouse

there's got to be a reverse wind-up here.

 

Can you set up a spam email address and respond?

 

Has anyone heard that recording of the bloke who only answers 'yes' to the cold call?

 

I understand  there is a website dedicated to showing you how to string these scammers along.

 

One bloke (using micky-mouse e-mail address) eventually got as far as stringing the scamme ralong  to meet him at an airport somewhere in Europe. Needless to say he didn't turn up, but the scammer did, and sent him torrents of abuse for 'wasting his time'.

 

I say, what a jape!

I'm yet to see a 419 scam written in anything like half-decent English.

 

The site that helps you deal with these bar stewards is 419eater.com

The best I ever heard of was set up by MyNameIsJeff back in the days when Something Awful was an awesome place to hang out.

 

Many of the old references and links to this 'scamming the scammer' classic (P-P-P-Powerbook) are dead now so it's doubtful you will get to read much more than the bare bones of the story, but it was a classic piece that made being on t'internets totally worthwhile. I watched it unfold day by day and the sting was beautiful (not perfect, but good enough for plenty of lulz).
