I checked one of my many email accounts tonight, lo' and behold, I've got a good old fashioned Nigerian Email Scam! For those of you who don't know how they work, here are the points to watch for:
You have been chosen as the next of kin, or some kind of beneficiary for some incredibly rich deceased person -- OR -- they are inheriting the money, but cannot obtain it without YOUR help.
The email originator has this large sum of money that they really, really, really want to get to you, but cannot because they don't have your bank account number, passport number, phone number :blahblah:
Either way, you need to contact them and get your info to them so you can inherit this money, OR receive your commission for helping them out.
It will ALWAYS involve millions of dollars for your reward.
And, yes, for some reason, most of these scams actually do originate from the country of Nigeria
Here is the email I received: It was sent from sambajanet42@yahoo.ca but they will always provide a different address for you to reply to. This way they can keep track of the thousands they have sent out, and who replies.

CLIENTIS BANK - CI (CB - CI)
5, rue de plateau 11, bp 09095,
03 Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire.
Email: mrssamba04@dbzmail.com

Greetings.

I am Mrs.Janet Samba, senior accountant with Clientis bank in Cote D'Ivoire. With due respect and regard I wish to seek your urgent assistance and help to transfer the sum of (U.S.3 MILLION DOLLARS) THREE MILLION from the above mentioned bank to your own bank account for sefe keep and investment purposes in the near future. This money belongs to one of our late customers, (Mr.Robert Rice ) who died in a plane crash with his wife and his fund has been lying dormant with the bank without any claim, either from his family or next of kin up to date. I am contacting you to act as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased so that the fund will be released to you as his next of kin. I am confidently assuring you, there will be no risk in this transaction, no loss of money as all necessary arrangements have been perfected to release this fund to you as late Mr.Robert Rice' next of kin, and all necessary informations as regards this fund have been secured and will be relayed to you as soon as I receive your positive response.

Meanwhile, be notified that we are still working with the bank and it's only me and my colleague (boss) that have knowledge of this development thus I emplore that you treat this proposal very confidencial for it's speedy and successful conclution. I have served the bank faithfully for good number of years and 'am presently preparing for my retirement, hence I see this as a golden opportunity to transact and be comfortable in life after retirement. As soon as this fund is secured into your accountweshall meet with you in your country for disbursement and also forward you an off-shore account where you will transfer our own share. We agreed sharing ratio to be as follows: 25% for you the account owner, 70% for me and my boss, while 5% will be set aside for expenses made during the transaction.

Meanwhile, here below is the website of the plane crash that took the life of the account owner and his family:

Looking foward to hearing positively from you soonest.
Regards,
Mrs.Janet Samba.

WARNING: These people actually can be very dangerous.
If you choose to mess around with these people, do so without ANY true personal information about yourself. I would suggest creating a fake email account and using that. Do not use your real name, or even true location.

You can choose to lead these people on, and screw with them. Act stupid, and give them the run around. It actually is fun to make them think they are close to robbing you.

Have fun, and be careful.

You mean it wasn't ok to give them my bank account number and SSN??? I think that this might be for real. They sound legit. :2thumbs:

Oh, and where in tarnation do you get all the time to mess with these kinda people?

The key is to just send them short little emails, like "Wow, I am very excited to do this! Tell me how I can help you".

Then they'll email back later that night (they're about 9 hours ahead of us). You'll see it that next day. They'll tell you to give them the info, and you just keep acting stupid like "I'm in between bank accounts right now, is there some other way?"

Basically just one email a day. You can even arrange to meet these people to trade the documents by hand. Then, at the last moment, your flight gets delayed or cancelled for some reason. :ne_nau:

The sad part is that people actually believe this is something legit. I had a friend (realtor) who was working with some clients who told her they had cash for a home. She worked with them diligently to find something and when they did, she asked for verification of their cash funds. They told her that they were still waiting for them to be wired into their account from the son of a deceased official of some foreign government (I believe it was Nigeria). My friend should've asked up front for proof of funds instead of wasting all that time, but the clients involved were the ones who really got the wrong end of the deal since they had already wired thousands to this person in order for him to get his "frozen" funds so he could in turn, pay them back tenfold.

Bottom line....if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.....

:doh:

So, they were planning on using these future finances to buy their house? Wow! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

I'm glad that it wasn't your friend though. Seriously, people will believe their name just "came up" in a will from somebody in Nigeria!!!!

Yeah, you'll hear about the "uutah email scams" in the news. Apparently, Iceaxe has been seen as the site's premier canyoneer, and has chosen YOU as one of his kin.

He needs your assistance in transfering 7 dollars to an account...

WOW! update....

This happened sooner than I thought. I recieved an email back from "janet samba". Because it's a woman's name, I guess I should trust it more? :ne_nau: :roll: Funny thing is, I do the same thing! :lol8: I am using the alias "Chrissy Hansen" as my name.

OK, so in reply to the email I sent off, here's what they wrote back:
Subject: Thanks, call my boss immediately.

My boss name and telephone number is thus: Mr.Edward Coulibally, telephone number - +225-08-525456. Just call him and reassure him that you are very willing to assist us in the transaction I contacted you for.

Note, they'll always want you to call them. This speeds up the process. They want to get your address and phone number as well.

My reply (to the noted mrssamba04@dbzmail.com):

Thank you for the response back! I am very excited!

I have my mail sent to PO Box 264, and would you like my cell phone number, or home phone number? I don't know which one to send you. Thank you! God Bless.

I gave a fake PO box without a city, and I'm acting stupid on the phone number. They'll email back in this big rush to tell me "whatever, just give us the best phone number!!"

I had 3 emails today, monday morning from "janet". 1 was a duplicate, so I really just had 2 new ones. (they probably couldn't keep their scams organized, hence the duplicate). Notice in the two emails, "she" didn't give the preferred reply address like she usually does.

I'll be thinking of a good response today. I need something to keep them interested, without giving them any real information. Any ideas? :ne_nau:
They are as follows:

Subject: urgent

Dear Chrissy,
I am in well receipt of your email but it has not yet satisfied the requirements. You only sent your postal box number without the complete address, all your phone numbers are very important and do also call my boss - Mr.Edward Coulibally on +225-08-525456, your call will give him more confidence as he only instructed me to search out a trustworthy, reliable and honest person who can assist us conclude the transaction and receive the fund into the person's bank account, and as such recommend the person to him for approval. So it is very important you call him so that he can give me instructions to send you more informations and further proceed.

Have a blessed day while awaiting positive response soonest.

Janet

2nd email:

Subject: hi

Dear Chrissy,
Great day and how are you? I email to remind you that I am still waiting for your complete addresses, phone and fax numbers, do please get back to me urgently.

OK, down to business! They are now asking for the exact amount of $1,450.00 (only!) You will see in the message below that the original fee was $2,450, but they have graciously raised $1,000 to help me out! Wow, these guys are nice! :nod: So, now all I have to do is wire the money through Western Union. (it would be interesting if I could get Western Union to trace this transfer, and actually prosecute them on the other end. I doubt the legal aspect though, since they are in a different country)

So, after I sent my fake info in (another scammer's info) they happily replied with this letter:

Subject: TEXT OF CLAIMS/APPLICATION LETTER

Dear Chrissy,
In furtherance and details of our transaction: I will send you a form called CLAIMS/APPLICATION LETTER which you will fill, sign, scan and send ( attach ) to the foreign remittance dept of our bank for processing, approval and onward remittance of the inheritance fund into your norminated bank account. When our bank receive this application letter from you and commence the processing, sequent to approving it they will require some documents from you to certify that you are the bona fide next of kin to the deceased and these documents are:

(1) Death Certificate of late Mr.Robert Rice

(2) A sworn Affidavit of Oath from the high court of Cote D'Ivoire ( ascertaining you as the beneficiary of the inheritance fund) and

(3) Three Year Tax Clearance Certificate of late Mr.Robert Rice.

When these documents are produced by you and forward same to them on request they will approve your CLAIMS/APPLICATION LETTER and consequently release and transfer your inheritance fund into your own bank account and everything will conclude successfully and legally.

So I know quite alright that you don't have these documents because the documents will be applied for and obtained here in Cote D'Ivoire. So this mornning I contacted a lawyer on your behalf and demanded from him the possibilities of getting these documents and the cost though I never revealed to him that you are not a relative of the deceased. He promised to feed me back later and on receipt of your email this evenning I phoned him and he gave me the details and the cost. He said that the cost of all the documents is $2,450( two thousand four hundred and fifty U.S dollars) only. He said that as soon as the money is made available to him he will start to apply and process them from the various government agencies here and they will be issued to him in 3 days of applying for them. So I explained this to my boss - Mr.Edward Coulibally and the both of us have raised $1,000.00( One thousand dollars) remaining $1,450.00 ( one thousand four hundred and fifty dollars). So I am requesting you Chrissy, try your best and assist us with the remaining $1,450 to the lawyer as soon as possible so that he can proceed and get these documents for you and when he gets them he will send them to you and you will in turn forward them to the foreign remittance dept of our bank as soon as they requested them so that we can not suffer delays in concluding and receiving the fund into your bank account.

This is the name of the lawyer:

MICHAEL ONYEKA, ADDRESS - 05 KOUMASSI, ABIDJAN - COTE D' IVOIRE, EMAIL: michaelassociates@fastermail.com

Please send the $1,450 only to him by WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER and give him the informations so that he can pick it up and proceed without delay. When you send him the money ($1,450) also send him by email attachment your passport photogragh, your complete address, and photocopy of your identity card/ or photocopy of first three pages of your passport and explain to him that you are from Mrs.Janet Samba of Clientis bank.
Please cooperate as we proceed to this stage of our transaction. Also continue to maintain the secrecy of this transaction so that we can successfully conclude and receive this fund into your bank account within the next few days. As soon as the fund is remitted to your bank account we will meet with you in your country for the sharing accordingly and also discuss with you in details my investment intentions in your country which I can trust you for the supervision.

So please contact the lawyer as soon as possible and get back to me.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.

Janet.
Meanwhile, I will fill in our bank tomorrow mornning your informations in the file of late Mr.Robert Rice. I assure you great success and peaceful conclution of this transaction.

Here below is the c/application letter, copy it out, fill correctly, sign, scan and send to the foreign remittance dept as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, an official form and everything! :lol8: If the scam is successful, this is the point where I send the money and info. This WOULD be the last time I hear from them. Now, I just need to keep them holding somehow... I need to come up with excuses of why I can't "wire" the money, and if it would be alright if I physically met with them.

I've read scams where they got them to actually fly somewhere and meet them! Of course, the "victim" was playing them, and actually never met up with them, but they made them fly to Amsterdam! :haha:

This is my goal, to make them fly somewhere to meet me. I have to make them believe I have more than the original amount. I'll agree to TEN THOUSAND if that will make them meet me.

:popcorn:

It's true that it's a federal crime through US mail, but the Nigerian gov't doesn't assist the US in the investigations. That is why these guys get away with it. In fact, The People's Court had a case today about a Nigerian scam through ebay. A boy sent them $1800 which he borrowed, and the lender was suing him for it. :roll:

There was nothing they could do to get it recovered. But, I will respond and say I sent it through the US mail, just because I had an account with them or something. Good idea. :2thumbs: :lol8:

05-01-2006, 10:06 PM

OK, here goes... thanks for the ideas. I sent it to 2 people this time. The original janet, and the Micheal dude. Note that she's keeping it secret from him that I'm really not a next of kin of the deceased, but I forwarded this same email to him in the same pass. Let's see if "she" says something about spilling the beans. :lol8:

Also, I told them I sent it by mail. And, bonus time, not only did I send the $1,450, but I'm such a grateful, stupid girl that I sent them $5,000!!! I truly am nice. :nod:

This will keep them hooked on the line, realizing they can more than triple the reward with me! Here's the response I sent back, this time adding the Micheal guy to the recipient list as well:

Subject - Fwd: TEXT OF CLAIMS/APPLICATION LETTER:

Great news!!! The money is on the way! I was so pleased to hear that the total amount was only $1,450. Thank you so much for your generosity in raising the $1,000 in my behalf.

In fact, since my reward is going to be 3 million dollars, I decided to thank you for choosing me, and I sent you a total of $5,000. I hope it is no problem that I am sending you more money, but I am so happy that you were so nice to me. I am really looking forward to my new life as a millionaire, so much that money doesn't matter that much to me anymore. I will finally be able to find a good man! (I've been very lonely).

Since my father works for the US Mail delivery system, I decided to send a check by mail. My father is a very good mailman, and he will make sure it gets to Michael. Besides, we do not have a Western Union in our town.

He even stamped a "DO NOT BEND" sign on the envelope, so it will be very well taken care of.

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

ooh, nice touch! now I'm supposed to reply back and "convince" this guy that I'm the next of kin to the late "Mr.Robert Rice".

I should say this, but I will purposeley mispell it as "Roland Rice", and see if they even try to correct me. :haha:

I also cc'd janet on this one. Here's the reply:

Subject - Re: Fwd: TEXT OF CLAIMS/APPLICATION LETTER:

I'm so sorry I did not properly introduce myself! I am actually a relative of Mr. Roland Rice, and I am his next of kin. Mrs Janet Samba will confirm this for you, as I already have my documents being sent to you along with $5,000 in U.S.

Please let me know what else I can do to help out! The 3 million dollars are rightfully mine. I may even raise your reward up to $10,000 if I need to.

This is good shit!
You need to send a nekkid picture of two guys together, like posing on a nude beach (nothing too gay), or maybe of the cowboys from brokeback mountain and tell him its a picture of you with "roland" at the last family reuinion.....

:lol8: :five:

That's good. Actually, since my name is Chrissy, I'm going to find a picture of some ugly chick and send it. That's what this other "scammee" did, and it was freakin' hilarious! I'm currently waiting for a response...

Sombeech

05-02-2006, 03:03 PM

Well, they actually caught the "Roland" part, but they don't seem to care! :lol8: They corrected me, and are still asking for identification. This is the part where I send in a picture of some ugly chick, and say it's me. Shouldn't that pass as my identification? :ne_nau: After all, I'm giving these guys $5,000 - you would think they could work it out, right? :haha:

OK, here's the one I just received from Mr Micheal:

Mrs Janet Samba detailed me about a late Mr.Robert Rice and not a Roland Rice as you said you are. Verify your identity with Mrs.Janet Samba first or with Clientis Bank, the bank Mrs.Janet Samba explained late Mr.Robert Rice has his fund.

Your sending fund to me via postal service is inappropriate if indeed you mean to pursue your documents but meanwhile, clarify with Mrs.Janet Samba first.

Mr.Michael

I'm going to find an ugly chick online, and photoshop it somehow to put it in a passport. I'll have to do this later tonight, and reply.

I've just got to come up with something to keep them hanging around. I would ultimately try to get them to agree to fly somewhere and meet me, so I could hand them the cash! :roflol:

This other example I read had them meet up where there were traffic cams on a main street. He sat in his office in the U.S. and saw them waiting around on a street in Amsterdam! He actually watched them wait for him in a different country. That is the ultimate goal. I just have to make them believe that money is no longer an object, and I'm willing to give them thousands of dollars if I can just do it my own way.

With that big reward, they just might follow my demands.

Okey dokey, the game continues. I went with Iceaxe's suggestion for the doublemint twins. I am the one on the right, and my friend Gertrude is on the left. I even named the picture Gertrude and Chrissy. :twisted:

Here's the letter I sent:
Subject -- Is everything OK?

Hello Janet.

Michael sent me an email saying that the US mail is inappropriate. Should I cancel my check?

Maybe we can come up with some other way to transfer the money. I'm desperate! I've been looking at a very nice house to buy, and I will need the money very soon. I will be willing to pay you even more.

I've got a high limit on my credit card, and I could some how get a large amount of cash up front to give to you somehow. Do you have any suggestions?

Oh, and by the way, I have attached a picture of myself and my good friend Gertrude. I am the girl on the right in my new Chinese silk dress. I love the color of gold, so I decided to get it! Gertrude is very excited for me, and I promised her that I would give her $500,000 (five hundred thousand dollars). She also will buy a very nice home with this.

Please reply soon, so I can have a chance to cancel the check if I need to. Thank you.

They really, really, really want me to just send it via Western Union. They are trying to make ME feel guilty :haha: for not seeming serious enough to send the money their way. This is when I get desperate, and tell them I'll do anything for them to prove how serious I am. After all, I'm just a young, dumb girl who doesn't know any better. I should be allowed to make mistakes.

BTW, remember the link they sent me about the plane crash the dude died in? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml is from 1999! :roflol:

Here's the reply from Janet.

Subject -- Re: Is everything OK?

Chrissy Hansen,

I am beginning to doubt everything about you, on receipt of your email yesterday and the lawyer's (Mr.Michael ) invitation to his office. How can you with a good intention as you claimed suggest to send money to someone via postal service? If you are indeed serious about this transaction, make efforts and send the money to the lawyer by western union money transafer or Money Gramm as urgently as this transaction requires.

Meanwhile, have you sent the application letter to the foreign remitance dept? Have you furnished the lawyer all the informations required?

Janet.

My reply:

I don't want to give you the impression that I am not serious about this transaction. In fact, I am greatly depending on this to take place.

I did send the application letter to the foreign remitance dept in the same envelope with everything else. I sent copies of my passport and other identification along with the money in the same envelope.

Since I told you that my father works for the US mail, I still have time to track down the envelope and have it returned. He said it may be in the New York terminal by now, and we could put a hold on it now that this is not the best way.

In fact, I would even be willing to meet up with you and hand you the cash directly. I will be in Europe this next week, as I have a business trip there. I can't quite remember where you said you were from, but could we meet up somewhere?

For this inconvenience, I will bring $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) with me in cash, so there will be no difficulties.

Will this be possible?

Did you like my picture I sent you? I hope you got it alright. Do you have a picture of yourself? I would really like to see you, since you sound so nice.

Thank you.

You Mr./Mrs/Ms Chrissy, the moment you are serious and ready for the transaction you let me know by proofing yourself right.

Janet

When these people think I'm just leading them on, that's when the fun stops. I need to keep them interested.

How? Do you need another picture? I'm sorry, I am just not that good at these kind of things. I have never proven my identity before!

Please tell me how. What if I emailed you a scanned copy of my passport? Would that help? I just don't know what else I can do at the moment.

I could fax it, but I would have to do it when my boss wasn't around. I do not want him to know what I am doing. He would be mad if I no longer needed to work here, and he could fire me before this transaction finished.

And yes, it is "Ms" Chrissy. I am not married.

Thank you.

Call my boss - Mr.Edward Coulibally on phone number - +225-08-525456 and explain to him that you are indeed serious and ready to do business.

Janet

My reply
OK, I will call. I just tried to call from work, but somehow I can't get that number to work. Do I need to dial a 9 first?

I may have to wait until I get home. That will be about 7:00 pm tonight. will that be OK?

Knowing that they are in Africa, this will be quite late for them to stay up. Hopefully I'll get them to stay up until 3:00 am waiting for my call. :lol8:

from janet
After your country's dialling out number proceed and dial +225-08-525456. He said he awaits your phone call and only this will determine if you could indeed proceed this transaction with us.

I also ask, you said you don't have western union money transfer in your town don't you also have Money Gramm in your town or neighbouring environment? I advise you show/proof yourself serious.

Janet

My reply
How do I find out what my country's dialing out number is? Do I just dial a 1?

You keep telling me to prove that I am serious, but I am doing all that I can. I want to give you this money so we can complete the transaction!

Please don't give up on me. I will call Mr Edward tonight when I am home at 7:00 pm. Thank you.

Call Mr.Edward. Meanwhile, you made a statement that is not in tune - you said "you want to give me this money so that we can complete the transaction". You are giving the money to the lawyer to procure documents for our transaction and to me.

I am not asking you for a personal money rather it is for our (both you & our) good ok?

Janet

My reply

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought I was going to give you the money, and then you would take the money to the lawyer to pay the remaining fees. I am sorry for this misunderstanding.

By the way, I have only told my friend about the 3 million dollars. I have not told anybody else about it, including my job, friends or family. I think they would be very jealous.

I do not see the + sign on my phone. It is possible that I have a different type of phone that you have. I will go out and try to buy a phone with the + symbol, so I can call the number you have given me. I am still planning on calling the lawyer tonight at 7:00 pm. What time will it be where he is at?

Make them feel a little guilty.

Why is western union the only method acceptable? I've already told you that this is difficult for me.

Chrissy

Their answer; notice they say "because it's the fastest way" when this thing's been going on a month!

That's the only fastest medium to transact money transfer. If indeed you are serious and trustworthy to transact this business with me you should find every possible way or location to go and send the money by western union money transfer.

By your actions Mr.Michael has even started raising some suspicious curiosity about you but I have calmed him down convincing him that you are indeed the real person only that you don't know the proper way to go about it.
