Hello Ward ,

I am Mr. Ahmed Khizer Khan a citizen of UAE .I have in my bank the existence of a very big amount of money that belongs to a customer , Mr. Daniel who happen to have the same surname as yours .The fund is now without any claim because Mr. Daniel died in a deadly earthquake in China in 2008 . I want your cooperation so as to make the bank send you the fund as the beneficiary and next of kin to the fund.
This transaction will be of a great mutual assistance to us. Send me your reply of interest so that I will give you the details .

Strictly send it to my private email account : mrahmedkhanuaei@hotmail.com or send me your email address to send you details of this transaction.

At the receipt of your reply, I will give you details of the transaction. And a copy of the Deposit certificate of the fund and also the incorporation certificate of the company that generated thid fund .

Best regards,

Mr. AHMED kHIZER KHAN.

I have gotten 3 of those emails and they all look the same and I can't believe they even think someone would fall for this scam, I wish it were true though

uhm, bad news buddy. I am Mr Daniel's rightful heir. Tell Mr AKK to buy a Walmart gift certificate and mail it to me.
Thanks.

When you get the check, I have a very very rare 61 Starcraft for sale. It originally belonged to the Lone Ranger, who lost it in a poker game to non-other than Rocky Balboa...I'll send the rest of the history upon your check clearing ;):p

A co worker of my wife got a scam email. He played along.

They sent him a check for 1000 bucks. He was suppose to convert it to a US cashiers check and send it back, taking 15%.

He cashed the money he got and kept it... So far nothings happened... It's been a couple of months since. I told him he's gonna get some angry Nigerian warlord knocking at his door some day. :):D

That's really interesting. A one man Ponzi scheme.

Cash 1000 dollar check, send 850 back, keep 150. 150 "profit"
Next check
Cash 2000 dollar check, send 1700 back, keep 300 300 "profit"
confidence is really high now.
Next check
Cash 5000 dollar check, send 4250 back, keep 750 750 "profit"
Total profit 1200 bucks.
Bank returns 5000 dollar check
Total loss, 3800 dollars.

I told him not to cash it, send it to the PD.
But he went hog wild with the 1000. I dont know how long it would take. But I told him to watch out for the 1000 check to come back as NFS.

Most of the checks are bogus so tell him to keep a close eye on his account.

Just like the e-bay scheme.....they win your auction, they send you a money order with extr***** and the extra is to pay their guy to transport the item.

The money order is fake and your acount will be a mess before long.

The check was probably "good".

The account and routing numbers, printed on the fake check, were probably stolen, from a trusting old lady in Indiana.

Good site, with good information, but IMO, fighting them, playing along to "waste their time and resources", is in reality, wasting only our time. Thousands of them do this for a for a living, so they will bail if they suspect, a non-rube, is on the other end.

Also, the Nigerians scammers, have worker in this country, so a personal visit is a posibility. Don't really want them knocking at the front door.

If everybody just kept hitting the "delete" key, these scams would stop this afternoon.
