Title: Weird E-mails


Man - July 20, 2007 01:11 AM (GMT)
Okay for a while now on my hotmail account I've been getting messages from random people I've never talked to before about a large sum of money in someone's bank account in the Bank of Africa. One time it was from the prime minister of Africa or usually just other people. They ask for a partnership, yadda yadda, usually I'm too bored to read the whole thing. Here's the latest one I got:

QUOTE

DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION IN FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPATMANT.

Dear Friend,

It was during my investigation in accounting section in my department I come to know that Mr. Julius Brownson who died On the 19thof July 2003 in a car accident along bobo express way Ouagadougou Burkina Faso with his wife and two children a Canadian nationality that his fund is still dormant in his account. AMOUNT IS US$29.870M (TWENTY NINE MILLION EIGHT AND HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY)

Meanwhile Mr. Julius Brownson has been our customer for more than 13 years and in my investigation I notice that the decease customer dib not indicate his next of kin in the banking deposited document. And without any claim of the fund in our bank either from his family or relation before my discovery. 

Since then as director in charge of accounting department I have made several enquiries to Canadian embassies to locate any of his relatives but all proved abortive after these several unsuccessful attempts.

Those are semi-infamous e-mails - they're huge scams, of course. They're known as the Nigerian 419 scam or something. It'd do you good to simply ignore any e-mails like that.

And to that regard, I say this:

I got an e-mail similar to that. You can reply to that and play along like I did. They wanted me to fly to Europe, specifically London to "cash in" a large amount of money. But I knew it was a scam ahead of time. Mine was concerning a Prince in some country out in Africa.

I've gotten that particular one a few times on different accounts. The first time, actually, was from a spammer through RPG-D. Most hilarious. :)

ShinLi - July 23, 2007 07:23 AM (GMT)
I remember that spam e-mail from the RPG-D member *shakes fist*.

But it is always a good thing not to reply to e-mails you have no clue where they are coming from. Nothing good can come out of that XD. I've never had such e-mails luckily. And if something has a weird title, I don't even open them.

I got the Prince one. It made me laugh, right before I deleted it.

Nowadays I get the old ones telling me I can increase the size of an appendage I do not have, or extremely strange ones titled 'butter Jennifer socks dishwasher'... and what the? I don't open those.. just delete.

Email is funny. :D

criminalGRACE - July 23, 2007 07:41 PM (GMT)
I've gotten those too. People have so much time on their hands. Thanks to my brother though, shared email account, I get loads of rather explicitely titled emails which is generally just gross to me.

Hellkaiser Guyviroth - July 30, 2007 03:38 PM (GMT)
i sometimes get e-mails like that... normally to do with MasterCard or University of Phoenix... despite me being in the UK -_-'

Murder_uni - July 30, 2007 03:59 PM (GMT)
If you have all gotten it has anyone considered forwarding it to the police? i mean they have units to look into these type of things and if everyone just gets rid of them its not helping to stop it.

I to have had emails claiming to be from banks and it can help to let the people who need to know , have them for record. It helps them figure out if you are on some kind of black-email list and in turn help track down who sent them.

Hellkaiser Guyviroth - July 30, 2007 04:01 PM (GMT)
if people knew the police's e-mail addresses, i'm sure we would. But then again, police are useless... well, my police are anyway.

Murder_uni - July 30, 2007 04:03 PM (GMT)
its like finding anyones email,,,you look.
Why complain about getting them all the time if you dont do something to stop it ?

miragexrapture - July 30, 2007 04:21 PM (GMT)
lol @ these emails. (happy)

I actually get these kind of emails.. but through snail mail as well. When I was younger, I actually thought it was real, and I almost called the number they provided. 8D Never trust mail that says that you've won anything for free. :p

Subscriber,


Unbelievable as it may seem...



Even after I''ve helped over 100,000 people to unlock the
secrets to raking in big bucks online, some people refuse
to accept the proof.

So they dared me to give away some of my best stuff
to prove it really works. Of course, they never dreamed
that I''d accept the challenge.
