Fraud email example:
From: "abiodun ige" <ige22@hotmail.com>
Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2006 10:39:06 +0100
Subject: Very Important and Urgent
Dear Sir,
I know this email will come as a surprise to you knowing fully well that we
have not met before . But its by grace of God that I came accross to your
email address and I believe that its by Gods doing that I should react you
with this business proposal believing that you will give serious thought to
my proposal.
Please I know that a lot of scam mail is going on especially around African
and Nigeria but you should remember that everybody cant be bad. And that is
why I will recommend you to the contract payment of of the Central Bank of
Nigeria where the payment will take place so that you will deal directly
with the office and officers incharge to prove to you that its gunine
business.
The contract payment has been approved by the Office of the President but
the problem is that the contractor is dead and all effort to locate his
relation has proved abbortiveand he did the contract last three year in
which he supplied drainage chemicals from Indonisia and since then the
payment has been hanging. So in view of the president to settle all debtors
before leaving office , The president decided that all foriegn Contractors
should come up to claim their fund.
I work with the president on media and thats how i got to hear about this
opportunity and decided to source for a reasonable and sincere foriegner so
that I can use the person as the NEXT OF KIN or the RELATION of the
contractor to cliam the fund. The amount in question is $4.3m US Dollars.
You will not need to come over to nigeria to collect the money as I will
provide a Lawyer that will do everything on your behalf but your account
will be used to trasfer the money as the beneficiary of the money after
which we will share it 60% for me and 30% for you and 10% for any expenses
that we will make in the course of the execution of the transfer.
This business will take 1week to be completed so I will like you to respond
to this mail immediately to show your interest so that we can move ahead .
Also remember that its risk free . I contacted you becuase a foriegner is
needed and also as a serving minister am not expected to have a deal with
any contractor if not I will not have contacted you . But with God on our
side I believe that everything will work out as planned and that you will
not disappoint me when the payment made into your account.
