From Mr.Kone Fofana Mark
Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
Tel:
Email:kfofana2@xemail.de


Dear Sir,

I am Mr.Kone Fofana, a staff of one of the Commercial Banks in Cote D'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. I got your contact from Worldwide companies directory, via our bank chamber of commerce directory.

On July 6th 2003, An oil consultant / contractor with the Cote D'Ivoire National Petrolum Corporation, MR FELIX JEAN , made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million united states dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact employers Cote D' Ivoire National Petroleum corporation, that MR MR FELIX JEAN, died along with his family in autor crash

On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that MR MR FELIX JEAN, did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$8,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.

According to the Ivoirian Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Cote D'Ivoire Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to MR MR FELIX JEAN, so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.

This is simple,

1)I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin to this fixed deposit.

2) We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting all the necessary documents in your favour for the transfer.

3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next of kin of MR MR FELIX JEAN. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.


There is no risk as all the paper work for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as a staff of this department, guarantees the successful execution of this deal. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above or below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the deal very well.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent response

Thanks and best regards,
Mr.Kone Fofana

NOBODY TAKE IT THO PLZ K THNX!!!
 
first one of these I ever got was (and I kid you not) in an actual snail mail letter, in 1994. I remember even then thinking "How fucking stupid would you have to be to fall for it?"

Apparently, there are plenty of people THAT stupid or worse - the hotels of Lagos are full of morons waiting to meet total fucking nigerian strangers whow want to give them 90 million for no fucking reason.

It's a kind of dumb tax, imo.
 
I actually almost fell for it the first time I got one of these emails when I was like 16.

Then I got an email when I was 17 from a company in pakistan selling hacky sacks. I told them I was a footbag distributor (which I wasn't) and asked for some samples. They sent me like 10 samples and I was stoked!

I got a bunch of free hacky sacks - then they asked me to place an order...I thought about it and then I actually did. Never talked to these people on the phone, gave them my address, it was all through email - sent them $1000, to some guy in Pakistan...

lol it turned out to be legit though, I started a business selling footbags and they didn't rip me off.

Thinking back now though, I was pretty trustworthy to just send 1k (2 months worth of work) to a stranger in Pakistan.

That’s a damn fine story, thanks for sharing it.
 
Glad you got my email.

Here's a new one I'm sending out. Let me know what you think...


Good day. My name is Markus. I am a former account supervisor of Mr. Charles Mbobo, who recently reached his ideal weight thanks to Hoodia, the miracle root from Africa. I received your contact information via Plaxo.

Regrettably the news I bring is not as enjoyable as a celebrity ringtone or barnyard orgy. In fact, if this news upsets you, you may want to try the discreet online pharmacy for prescription-free Xanax.

Unfortunately I have to report that Mr. Mbobo was killed in a terrible car accident. Although he usually spent most of his time making $15,000 in 30 days from the home he purchased with his pre-approved mortgage, he was in the free car he won as a result of participating in a nationwide ice cream survey. Sadly, Mr. Mbobo, his wife, and his two hot webcam girls were killed in the accident - a circumstance which can not be reversed like baldness can with an herbal cure. Mr. Mbobo's amazing replica Rolex was destroyed in the accident, and to make matters worse he had not taken advantage of a free auto insurance quote.

Mr. Mbobo had recently won the international lottery, which excited him more than discount Ephedra. He had planned to use the additional money to purchase shares of Koko Petroleum (KKPT.PK), a hot, undiscovered gem of a stock I would encourage you to purchase immediately. His funds, including monies received from his advance payday loan and $250 Old Navy Gift Card, were located in an account valued at $45 Million (US Dollars). These funds are currently in an account in Liberia. You needn't have earned your degree online to realize that Liberia is suffering from civil strife and as a result bulk ink cartridges are as hard to come by as Cialis soft tabs. The government can not be trusted with finances or complimentary platinum cards, just as surely as your PayPal account has been compromised.

For that reason, I am looking to spirit the funds out of the country. To do this I will require the assistance of a reliable party in your country - which is why I am contacting you and not an 18-year old hardcore hottie. In return for your assistance, I will offer 10% of the proceeds ($4.5 Million) and a chance to accept credit cards and enlarge your penis.

To properly execute this transaction I will require your complete cooperation and a Texas hold 'em poker face. You are known as someone who is trustworthy, with plenty of hot singles in your area looking for love. We believe you can help us get out of debt forever.

I await your contact at mistermarkus@hotmail.com but if you are unable to assist me, I ask that you erase all traces of this confidential, urgent message with the #1 spyware remover on the market. I look forward to working with you more than a $99 Disney vacation.

Your good friend,

Markus

Thank you for reminding me of that site. I remember reading the story that the king of scambaiters worked his magic so well, that by the end of the scambait he had a video of nigerian scammers doing the Monty Python parrot skit. It was fucking hysterical!

*EDIT*

Found it: YouTube - Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch, scammer style!
 
I had a couple people try to scam me in the past 2 years...they keep finding more unique ways to scam.

Someone responded for an ad I ran for an mlm deal. They where from Singapore and said they were an mlm baller. Long story short, the guy signed up like 12 people in a week at the top package ($500) and I was psyched. He said he didn't want the product so he had it shipped to my house. I was suspicious so I started calling the people and they all didn't even know what I was talking about when I welcomed them to the program.

Turns out he was using stolen credit cards - and the mlm company thought I was behind it because my address was on his account.


Another guy saw that I posted that i wanted to buy a 2nd hand Dell XPS M2010. He contacted me, we chatted, he gave me a really good deal - but I was too suspicious because he wanted me to send a moneygram and wouldn't use ebay or paypal.

SO about a month later he contacts me on MSN and tells me that he's too busy to handle all his business and liked my attitude on the last chat we had, and that he had some work for me if I wanted it.

I said sure what the heck, he said all I have to do is accept paypal transactions and then keep a % for myself and send moneygrams to him. He sent me $300 Paypal...I figure it was a scam, called paypal and they said it was legit.

I did a bunch of googling and shit and found out that this dude had scammed some guy into buying a ps3, he owned a shirt factory in lebannon or something crazy like that.

Anyway once I figured it out and told the guy about it, I refunded the paypal and cut ties with the guy.



There's some crazy shit people come up with to scam you.
