There is this guy from Nigeria, president of I don't know what he says, who is sending me emails asking me to provide a safe bank account for him to transfer a sum with many zeros.
If he just keeps insisting, one day I might go for it :D

What? Why?
This makes little sense, and then you're just going to leave?
Who?

Oh, come on, Tuss! Don't tell me you haven't received that - I get it every other day. It isn't actually about 'washing' money, they just want to take yours. Enter 'nigeria connection' into a search engine of your choice, and you'll get all the info.

There was a documentury on the BBC a month or so ago abou this scam. There were about 80 victims in the UK last year. Once you make contact with them they start asking for money to arrange clearance of funds and bank transfers etc etc.

The average loss of money was over £140,000 and the largest loss was over £2.5 million.

I say go for it Dextrus, you never know ;)

Dexterus, why dont you respond to it and then post the replies you get from whoever it was mailed it to you from an African Internet Cafe. I'd love to see the email dribble they use to try and blag people to give them their cash :)

I've sent him a mail telling him to phone me ( gave my phone nb ) , so I know that "he means bussines". Here's what I got back :

From: Dr. Uba Jega.
Satellite Tel: 874-762-918-985.
Satellite Fax: 874-762-918-986.

Attn : President / C.e.o.

Strictly Confidential & Urgent Business Proposal.

Re: Transfer Of Usd $21,500.000 { Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Us Dollars Only.

I am a member of the Federal Government Of Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (N.N.P.C).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Petroleum
Trust Fund (P.T.F.) BY MY COMMITTEE.

This contract was over invoiced to the tune of us$ 21.5Million Dollars.
This was done delibrately. The over - invoicing was a deal by my
committee to benefit from the project.

We not want to transfer this money, which is in a suspense account with
the P.T.F. into any oversea account, which we expect you to provide for
us.

Share:

60 % of the money would be for my partners and I.
30 % of the money would be yours, for providing us with logistics, which,
would include a safe bank account, where we shall facilitate funds
transfer into, as soon as documentations are concluded over here.
10 % of the money has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any
expenses that might be incurred during the course of the transaction, (both
local and international expenses).

If interested in assisting us, please contact me via my secured email
address, as soon as possible (uba.jega1@caramail.com) or my secured
satellite tel/fax number, specially procured for this project.

It may interest you to know that a similar transaction was carried out
with one Mr. Patrice Miller, President of Crane International Trading
Corp., of 153 East 57th St., 28th floor, N.Y.10022, Telephone: 212-308-7788
and Telex: 6731689. The deal was concluded and all covering documents,
forwarded to Mr. Miller to authenticate the claims. Once the funds were
transferred, Mr. Miller presented to his bank, all the legal documents
and remitted the whole funds to another bank account, and disappeared
completely. My colleagues and I were shattered, since such opportunities
are not easy to come by.

Please, if you are interested in assisting us carry out to the fullest
capacity, this transaction, we would require the following information
from you which would enable us make formal application to the various
ministries / parastatals, for the release and onward transfer of the
money to your account.

1.Your Full Name, Company's Name, Address, Telephone and Fax Numbers.
2.Your Bank Name, Address. Telephone and Fax Number.
3.Your Bank Account Number and Beneficiary Name - You must be the
signatory.

Please, note that we have strong and reliable connections at the Central
Bank Of Nigeria and other Government Parastatals, hence assistance in
this regards, would not be a problem.
At the conclusion of this transaction, we shall use same contacts to
withdraw all documents used in the course of this, to avoid any trace
whatsoever that may ever arise, to you or to us, now and in the nearest
possible future.

It might also interest you to know that we are mere civil servants who
do not want to miss this opportunity, hence, we want this money
transferred out, as soon as possible, before the newly democratically
elected government ever think of making enquiries as regards the various
activities of the past military government.

Kindly contact me as soon as possible, whether or not you are interested
in this deal, so that whereby you are not interested, it would give us
more room to scout for another partner. But if you are interested,
kindly contact me via above email, telephone or fax, so that we can
swing into action, as time is not on our part.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,

Dr. Uba Jega.


I find interesting the fact that the destination mail adress is not mine ...
