Peep this sketchiness.

Anyone else get any weirdo e-mails like this? Sketchy.

In order to transfer out (USD 21 MILLION)TEWENTY ONE
million United States Dollars from
LOCAL PRIME BANK COTE D' IVOIRE. I want to
ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable and fit to provide either
an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can also serve for this purpose.
I am rev.richmond the Auditor General of LOCAL PRIME
BANK in ABIDJAN
during the
course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in
an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993
nobody has operated on this account again, after going
through some old files, from the records I discovered
that the owner of the account died without a [ heir]
hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this
money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Allan P. Seaman, a
foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since
1993 and no other person knows about this account or
any thing concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that Allan P. Seaman, until his death he was the manager
of Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.

We will start the first transfer with EIGHTEEN Million
[$18,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account,

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to a local person here, but
can only be approved to any foreigner with valid
information about Mr.
Allan P. Seaman who is a foreigner too.

However, I am revealing this to you with believe in< BR>God
that you will never let me down when the money
enters your A/C.

Send also your private telephone and fax number
including the full details of the account to be used
for the deposit

I need your full understanding and co-operation to
make this work fine because the management of the Bank
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who
has correct information of this account, which I will
give to you, upon your positive response. Two of us
will fly to your country at least two days ahead of
the money going into the account.

I will use my position and influence to obtain all
legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to
your account with appropriate clearance from the
relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments
for easy and smooth transfer of the fund into your
account without question.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, wh ile 5%
will be for ex penses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring this money.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Yours truly
rev.richmond.

I seem to remember reading something about a government agency going after the people who send out those emails.....but I can't recall which agency. Maybe the FCC....

Ok, I'm not trying to whore in my own thread or anything but has everyone seen the Karate Kid? I think it would be really funny to get a little Cobra Kai dojo shirt and I don't know where to get one. If anyone can help me with this, thank you.

I dunno. What can the government do about this sort of e-mail and do you think that this person is really serious about this? Because it looks like money laundering. I thought that it was someone that I know f*cking with me because I work for a bank.

It's far from laundering because the story in the email is not a true story. What really happens is someone falls for it and sends their bank account information then, upon next receipt of their bank statement, has a balance of ZERO. It's a scam to steal your money and is illegal.

THAT's why the government has an interest in it.....although they really should spend more money on education and then may not need as much money for prisons or courts or lawyers......

Yeah, amen to that but it is obviously still a false statement that these people are giving. But I really do feel bad for someone if they are that stupid.
