I received this email below.
I usually write back to them and just play along.
And when I don't transfer the "transfer fees" into their accounts, they don't reply me anymore, despite me sending them multiple reminders, or I just shoot them with spam by sending out 200 to 300 similar reminder emails at one go, over several times.
It can be very entertaining.

many email frauds out there...
when my father-in-law bought a laptop and subscribe to internet connection, registered email addresses, we cautioned him about such email frauds. Same when my children started registering email addresses.
also, i told them of www.snopes.com or google it to read up first before jumping into such unbelievable deals...
it's a dangerous world out there, aint it? |

I heard all that you said, I pray that may Lord God help us see that everything goes fine. I wish to explain more to you in details my position and how you have to help me, Presently i am residing here in Dakar Senegal where i am seeking my political asylum as refugee due to the crisis in my country. I am emailing you from the office of the Rev.Pastor here in the refugee camp, I told the Rev.Pastor about my situation and he permitted me to access my email in his office computer twice a day, here in the camp life is very difficult, Camp Address is: 81 Eastern Quest Yoff, Dakar Senegal. Hostel Number Flat 11 room 15 Female Hostel: This is Rev-Pastor's Office Telephone number@ +221-772-283-674, Pls when you call ask of miss Aishah Ali From Liberia. About me: 1) I am a single daughter of my mother, 26 years old I grow up in Liberia my country, I had my college certificate in the year 1998 I admitted in the University in 2000 there I did my one year subject in business management before the political crisis in my country began. Now due to my political situation, i cannot make this claims by myself, i need a foreigner who will stand on my behalf to the bank, that is why i decided to make this contact with you, for you to stand on my behalf to the bank and ask them the possibility of transferring this fund into your position in your country.

The reason why I need your help to be sincere in your heart and assist me transfer the money into any account which you know will be safe either new or old empty or not, Though I do not have experience in international transaction so there is nothing I can do without your help, I wouldn't have border you if I have full access to the money within myself, because I am helpless without you, having no account and no body abroad as a friend or relation. After the transaction of the money into your account, You will help me withdraw some money from the account where the money was transferred, You will help me send the money through the Rev.Pastor in refugees camp to get all my traveling documents to join you and continue my education and for the capital investment which you have to help me for that.

They keep trying. There are so many versions to the story. Political asylum is one. Inheritance is another. Arrest and doing time in jail albeit wrongfully incarcerated is another. Most of these stories emanate from Nigeria. OK, this one is Senegal, just another basket country. I suppose if you throw many stones, one is bound to hit someone. The internet allows you to do that across borders. And in fact, I know of someone who had actually responded to something like this. It was a defendant in an action i was acting on behalf of a local bank. In the course of perusing the documents for the trial I found correspondence when the defendants actually touched base with a writer such as this one shown in the thread. Why? It is the promise of the transfer of funds for untold millions of KERCHING$$$. Desperate people do desperate things, indeed. And just so you know, there is such a thing as AML or anti money laundering law and financial institutions (even law firms) have a practice of KYC, ie. know your client so as not to be an accomplice in a money laundering scam. Shd anyone approach a bank and start to deposit millions of dollars, the bank is required to investigate discretely perhaps your background to ensure that you are kosher and the source of yr funds is bona fide. Anything suspicious, they are supposed to ring the alarm bells. At least that's the theory. |

There another case here in SG whereby an email wz one of the local Oversea Bank have it's logo on the email asking the client to provide their banking details for reconfirmation. It cames out in the new abt haft a year ago.. which many smart one will call up the bank to verify but there are minor group of ppl already send their particulars to the addressee. By the time the bank receive the warning and make public announcement that they have never issue such a notice, many acc holders are already affected.

I received that supposedly bank email which looked genuine.
I was suspicious and called the bank to verify. Always question first.
