Dear Muhammed...

[Boromir]

This is hilarious. I've gotten like three emails from this guy offering me the same thing. It's RIDICULOUS. Just read the email he sent haha:


Attention Please,

I am Mr.Bello Muhammed am Ghanaian by birth and Head of Internal Audit
Banque Commercial bank, South Africa, working as part of a bigger team
that covers the entire African region. An investor (name with-held)
died without naming any next of kin to his fund in my bank. The amount is
$5.7M and banking regulation/legislation in South Africa demands that I
should notify the fiscal authorities after three years, this money now
lies idle in a deposit company in Europe. The above set of facts
underscores my reason to seek your permission to have you stand in as the
next of kin to the deceased.

This fund will be approved and released in your favour as the next of
kin if only you will adhere to my instruction and cooperate with me in
one accord. I have all the legal and banking details of the deceased
client that will facilitate our putting you forward as the
claimant/beneficiary of the funds and ultimately transfer of the $5.7M plus interest
to any bank account nominated by you.I am prepared to compensate you
with a 35% share of the total funds for your efforts. The final details
will be given upon receipt an affirmation of your desire to participate.

Please contact me immediately whether or not you are interested in this
proposal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign
partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, contact
me immediately on email: [e-mail]
Thank you,

Mr.Bello Muhammed

[Boromir]

You gotta be really stupid to fall for it but then again.... *rolls eyes*

my great grand mother used to get smaller versions of this sort of thing as post and believe them. the 'you have won some kind of fabulous prize at random, but whatever you do, don't read the small print'

[Minya Collowen]

i know i think my brother fell for one of those too but seriously it's so obvious that it's a hoax i just don't know how people don't know any better

[luinvinial]
