Dear Sir,

Thanks for your bprompt email message which i acknowledged
reciept while it's contents well noted.

Sir, we are ready to work with you and your company in the
area of the mad-cow disease research, i'm a medical
student and such research will go along way in helping me
achieve knowledge and also make money.

Sir, i will reqiure you to please forward your account
details to me so that i will submit same to the bank here
for the transfer to be effected into your account as soon
as possible.

I was with Mr Aka George, the director of international
remittance department of the bank as regards to the
modalities of transferring this money ($3.5M) , the
Director make it clear to my that we will reqiure the
services of an accredited attorney who will be responsible
for the obtainance of the following documents:
a) A sworn affidavits
b) Certificate of change of ownership of fund.
c) Anti terrorist / Drug clearance certificates
respectively.

I was meant to understand by Mr Aka George that these
documents listed above, must and should be in place before
his bank could transfer the money.

Sir, the question now is how do we hire a attorney??? my
sister and I, are under the care of the United Nations
High Commission for Refugee and we do not have money to
hire a lawyer.

Anyway, here are the pictures of the funeral service of my
late father and his foreign partner and also attached
herein is my picture with my sister.

I am sending you all these so that you will know the
seriousness that is attached to this transaction.

Please endeavour to call me as soon as possible.



I can't wait to start giving him info on our Mad Cow
Disease research.

Hmm, very interesting.... I'm sure someone must be able to think of something good to do next. Unfortunately, I myself am suffering a deficit of imagination right now, but I'll think about it.

My uncle actually entertains himself sometimes by replying to these scams and leading the scammer on a merry chase; e.g., "Sure I'll help you with the money, I'll fly out to Cape Town (or wherever) to meet you. Wait for me under the big blue sign." And then later: "I'm sorry, my flight was cancelled, but I will be in Nigeria this week, how about meeting then?"

Well, that's the sort of thing, anyway; he's joined an online group based entirely around baiting these scammers, which do apparently exist. They do stuff like hacking their email accounts to warn off their other targets, and messing with them as much as possible... Ok, maybe that's going a bit too far, but there must be something we can do. Anyone got any suggestions?

hmm....

Paypal? Oh jesus, we could fake a verisign site and ask him to pay via verisign... that would be too rich.

P.S. taco, if you pull this off you will become an internet god.

My dearest Frank,

I am glad to hear that you are on board with me on the Mad Cow research. Do you have strong leadership potential, Frank? You will definitely need that if you are to be my head henchman. You see, Frank, you cannot underestimate the power of a good laugh. They unify people, Frank. They bring them together. I always laugh after I unveil my plans in meetings. It shows my power, and my contempt for our competitors. But nobody laughs with me right now. It's because I do not have a strong leader to laugh with me, and show them when is the appropriate laughing time. You should practice laughing on cue if you get the chance. This will be an invaluable skill for you when you join our company.

Your role will be doubly important now that I have scheduled my surgery. Once I have become a woman in body as well as spirit, some may doubt my leadership, and may try to usurp my control of the company. This simply will not stand. We stand to make millions with our cure for Mad Cow Disease, and I will not allow this to be jeopardized by the politicking of my underlings. With you by my side, my dear friend, I am sure that this will not be a problem.

Frank, I have vowed to use every tool at my disposal to assist you in this, your hour of need. To this end, we have devised a plan to extract you and your sister from the hostile environment you currently endure. Using your photograph and information contained in your email headers, we have been able to ascertain your general location, and will soon have operatives en route to assist you.

Frank, I know that this is a difficult and frightening time for you, but we will need some assistance from you in this matter if we are to successfully rescue you. We will need for you to choose an appropriate location for the rendezvous. As much as I wish it were otherwise, we have not been able to narrow your location down enough to determine the best location, nor are we as familiar with the lay of the land.

I am sure that you understand that your extraction from this hostile situation contravenes several international laws, and as such this operation is of utmost secrecy. Please exercise utmost caution in the coming days.

On a more pleasant note, thank you very much for the photos which you provided in your previous email. Has anyone ever told you that you have lovely eyes?

Look sir,

In as much as i respêct you, i will want to get things cleared, i will not move from here not until the money has been traneferred.

Extradicting me from where to where??? look i hate to be messed around with, if you want to finalise this transaction, kindly forward to me the following details:

a)your full names, postal or residential addresses, telephone or fax numbers respectively.

b) your bank's name, address, telephone and fax numbers, your account holder's name, account number and swift code.

Soon i get these details i will forward same to the bank here to commence with the transfer procedures.

Please bear in mind that if you fail to provide these details in your next mail then i will advise you stop further communication since this transaction is not and will never be a child's play.

Thanks,

Frank Chesson..

He's not joking. But he's also a lying sack of shit. Put yourself in the position that he claims to be in for a moment, and see if you'd trust a complete stranger you emailed out of the blue to hold your $3.5M for you.

He wants my money. That's all.

If you google for Nigerian bank scam, there's tons of info out there on it. This one's pretty much right on the classic form for them... well, except that I've been jerking the guy around happy
