419 Scams

[InForAPennyInForApound]

We have all at some point received 419 scam emails, in fact I have also received them by fax! Last week, I received a scam email which in fact had our correct family names on it! The subject was sorry your family member died. You can imagine the shock until I was able to open the email and then after reading the third line it dawned on me this was just another one from those 419 scammers.

Here is the website for any of you with questions regarding these scams. It is very helpful and if it can prevent anyone out there from losing money to these con artists then I have done my good deed for the day! O0

Dear Cuddles

I am given your name by your reputation as a man of deep integrity, trust and personal faith who can help me in my circumstance.

I am the manager of bills and exchange at the foriegn remittance department of the (ABN AMRO BANK AMSTERDAM ). I am writting you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this transaction. We discovered some abandoned sum $15,500,000(FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLAR ) in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer who died along-side his entire family in march this year in a terrorist train bomb blast in Spain some few months ago.Since this development,we have advertised for his next of kin or any close relation to come forward to claim this money,but nobody came yet to apply for the claim.

To this effect,i and other official in my department have decided to look for a trusted foriegn partner who can stand in as the next of kin of the deceased as we cannot do it only ourselves and claim this money.We need a foreign partner to apply for the claim on our behalf because of the fact that the customer was a foreign and we don't want this money to go into the treasury as unclaimed fund.

Every document to effect this process will emanate from my table and i will perfect every document to be in accordance with the banking law and guideline,so you have nothing to worry about and we have agreed that 30% of this money will be for you,while 10%will be for any expenses incured on both sides wihile 60% will be for my colleagues and me. If you are willing to help us,please indicate by replying this letter and putting in your name, private telephone number,fax and permanent residential address via my private email address below.I awaits your immediate response to enable us start this transaction as soon as i recieved your reply,i will send you a text application form for immediate APPLICATIION OF CLAIM.

Oh that's marvellous.

Did you come up with that yourself or is it genuine? Genuine fake I mean?

Emanate from my table. That's wonderful.
