Check out this Junk email i got saying that i have inherited $10,500,000.00. I was crying with laughter when i read this just because of some of the outrageous claims they said like "his entire family died in a PLANE-CRASH in Central England".



From: Mr.ADAMA KADIOGO
Manager,Audit/Account Section

Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso

Dear Comrade,

How are you today? Hope all is well. Please be informed that I have decided to contact you for a fund transfer transaction worth the sum of US$10,500,000.00 into your reliable bank account as the sole NEXT-OF-KIN to the foreign deceased customer of our bank (an International Billionaire French Businessman) who was killed with his entire family by PLANE-CRASH in Central England atmost 3 years ago. Since his death occured, no body have show up as his next of kin for the claim because the account is untraceable.

Upon the investigation I carried out from his records, I found out that his foreign business consultant who would have trace the account died earlier before the deceased. Therefore, this is a confidential and sealed deal.

For the success of this transaction, you should apply and act as the only existing NEX-OF-KIN to the deceased which our bank will replace the deceased account information through proper documentation in position of your own account.

This transaction is risk-free, it will never harm your good reputation in your society because no one can trace the account, and on the instant of the transfer of the fund into your account, the chapter of this transaction will be closed entirely.

Note that in a business of this nature, the bank dont want to know your difference between the deceased country, religion or believe because our bank inheritance law is against that. So, it is a preference for us achieve this success without any problem.
Please note down that once the fund get transferred into your account, you will take 39% of the total sum while the rest will be for me as I will arrange myself down to your country to take my share.

I need your urgent response and include your private telephone/mobile numbers for easy communication.Please reply if you can be tusted in this deal.
Thanks,

Mr.ADAMA KADIOGO

Its amazing to think that the writer would think anyone would be dumb enough to fall for it! I've never received spam like that, just read about it. That letter is as full of holes as swiss cheese.

Wow, now that is what I call spam!
I kinda wish I at least once in a while get spam like that just so I can laugh over it.

I've received one through the mail. I was sent a check for 20 thousand US dollars, but before catching it, I had to call a phone number for instructions. I went to that bank instead and found out that the check had a stop payment. I called the number as instructed, with my phone number blocked of course, and was told that to cash the check I had to first provide him (the caller) my checking account number, address and so forth. I made up a name, account number and telephone number and provided that information to the caller. I went back to the bank with the hope that they would be stupid enough to release the check for payment, but by this time, the check was no longer valid.

They are probably trying to withdraw money from the fake account I provided to the caller.

Felix i like how you tryed to conn the conners. Shame it didn't work.

[Vistanoob]

I liked that too. Not many would think of trying to con the conners like that!
Great idea!

[felix8406]

I was advice not to do it because I didn't know who I was dealing with and there's always the part about revenge. But, hey, they started it, plus they probably didn't know who they were dealing with either.

By the way, I just received one supposedly from a China jewelry store. They supposedly sent me a check for over $9,000 US and want me to call them and let them know if I received it. How much lucky can I be? Everybody is sending me money.

How kind of them! So if i want to become rich all i have to do is make an email address. Brilliant!

[felix8406]

My friends are at it again. They sure want to send me there money!! While the majority of people want money, this company wants to give it away.

[Vistanoob]

How generous of them!
I never thought about revenge from the culprits, but I guess it's possible, though to me it's hardly likely as they would be too busy trying to dupe others.
