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...... b |

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. |
