Martyn Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think any email asking for details are scams and always log onto the website myself through typing the address in myself to the browser. Does no-one have bookmarks any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggg Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Got another today 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Don't know if this is the same Jeff, but it's hilarious. It's a very long read, but worth it. http://www.bamferproductions.com/spamemail.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
