Fraud Email

[NismoSkyZ]

Dear Friend,

 

I am Stella UJUNWA CHINWETA daughter of Chief Chris CHINWETA, the king of

Ogoni Kingdom. I am 17 Years old and an undergraduate of Mass

Communication. My Father was the king of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil

Producing area in Nigeria. He was in charge of Receiving Royalties from

the ulti-national oil Companies and government on behalf of the Oil

Producing Communities in Nigeria.

After the hanging of The Ogoni Nine (9) including Ken Saro Wiwa for

speaking out against the environmental ecological effects, my father

suffered Stroke and eventually he died November 15th 2003. But before his

death, he called me secretly and told me in confidence that he has the sum

of Twenty Three Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars (USD23,

560,000.00) deosited, with one of the leading banks in Africa.

He advised me not to tell anybody except my mother who is the last wife of

the (8) eight wives that he married. My mother did not bear any male child

for him. This implies that in all my fathers’ properties, companies’

e.t.c, we have no share in them because my mother has No Male child

according to African Tradition. My father therefore secretly gave me all

the relevant Documents regarding the said money deposited in the bank, and

told me that I should Use this money with my mother and my younger sisters

because he knows that traditionally, if he dies we cannot get anything, as

inheritance. Though my beloved mother died last year, she suffered high

blood pressure due to the humiliation we suffered from the entire family

members.

Please bear with me that I don't hear clearly, but we can still arrange

for the transfer. He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign

assistance and that I should not invest this money here in Nigeria

Because of his other wives and male children who happen to be my

elders.Hence, I am soliciting for your immediate assistance to enable us

MOVE this money from the bank here to you if you can promise to be

Reliable and Trustworthy. Then once the money gets to your hands, you will

first procure a Bungalow for us wherein we Will live with my two younger

sisters and Further advise me where and how I will invest the balance

money overseas, possibly on products of your Company and other profitable

ventures.

I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this

money out of Nigeria to any country of your Choice where we can invest

this money judiciously with you. You are entitled to a reasonable part of

this Money based on our agreement, and God will bless you as you help us.

Please reply through my e-mail looking forward to hear from you as soon as

possible. I will tell you more about this when you reply.

Please if you are not interested let me know, keep this to your self and

delete please for our security.

 

Best regard,

 

STELLA UJUNWA CHINWETA

[Casey.T]

yeah i've got some pretty realistic looking paypal ones myself. the last one i got just looked a little 'off.' but it was so real looking i figured i should report it. i wonder if they actually do anything about the fraud emails reported?

I work with a guy that actually fell for a scam like that awhile ago. only they told him he had a rich relative that died in south africa. also to send $5,000.00 to get the money transferred. the funny thing about it is he actually did it, and when we all asked if he knew of any relatives in south africa he said no.. he believed it up until he saw it on the news that it was a scam.

Exactly! I don't know how gmail does it, but it works better than any other free e-mail provider and any "not-free " anti-spam software I ever used.... gmail is the best! :cool2:

[DJ Dank]

Yeah those Nigerian bs emails have been circulating for years. They really got bad like a couple of years ago. I had a friend who responded back and emailed back and forth with the scammer for a month acting as a naive Good Samaritan just to piss them off.

[NismoSkyZ]

Gmail is by far the best email service out there. IMO it's even better than outlook. I have a Gmail account, but I keep getting this stupid mail in my college account

[GrimGreg]

The reason you get it in the college account is because they spam the entire e-mail at that mail server.

[FUELER]

hahaha welcome to 1999.

 

 

This is called a 419 scam.

[FUELER]

Sometimes you can mess with them. I have spoken on the phone with nigerians many times, I just mess with them. One time I even had the guy schedule and pay for a UPS pickup of a box of garbage!

Go to trophy room. They make the nigerians do funny things in picture to prove that they are real people in nigeria.

 

 

 

 

[FUELER]

OK this one cracked me up.

 

I forgot about enemas, havent heard of one in years

 

 

[turbopath]

You'd have to think that you're special enough for a nigerian to single you out of a group (by e-mail no less) to fall for something like that. I bet a alot of narcissistic americans fell for that one.
