You are welcome. I've got lots more I can post if you like....

Actually, I was thinking it would be funny if DaRizzle sent all these and more solicitations to the bastard that spammed him.

Colonel Ronan · Feb 20, 2009

Yes, if you could PM me, that would be much appreciated.

ucatchtrout · Feb 21, 2009

Some of them are job offers.

Others are inheiritance scams, lotto winnings....christian lady lawyer looking for american man of faith to manange investment funds....

These things must be making a lot of money for someone.

It's interesting that +234 is in fact the country code for Nigeria. I'm surprised that they went to the trouble of looking it up.

Maybe they're Nigerian!

Any updates, Rizzle?

My understanding is that most of these scams ARE based in Nigeria. Something about legal loopholes there or some such.

Regardless, it is with the ever hope of God be with you as I am a honest and hard-working man that I wish them the best of day.

I get some that APPEAR to be based in the UK.

If you haven't seen this before -- it is somewhat entertaining and interesting. Chris Hansen got tired of going after perverts and instead decided to branch out a little bit.

and another from the UK

Hello,

My name is Larry Thomson Esq. I am the Solicitor to one of my late client, who died in London UK. I have a business proposition for you.

Before the death of my late client, she lodged huge amount of money in a security vault/company here amounting to Four million dollars. And she left behind strict instructions on secrecy and top confidentiality of her funds in the security company. And the only person aware of the funds is me, being her attorney.

Unfortunately, She had no next of kin as she had no children and she didn’t appoint any inheritance/beneficiary. It is on this note, that you come in, I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin whom I will appoint and notify the security company that you are the actual next of kin appointed by my late client. Please, have nothing to worry about, as I will commence processing all legal documentations certifying you as the Sole-Beneficiary to my late client, Be rest assured that all documents will be processed according to the law.

If you agree to do this with me, we shall both share the total amount of six million dollars 40/60 %, which means ( One million Six hundred thousand dollars)for you, while (Two million Four hundred thousand dollars) would be mine. If you oblige then kindly send me your full name, Age, address, telephone and country, in order for me to prepare the necessary documents for the funds to be released to you.

Kindly note that this transaction requires maximum secrecy. Please respond to me through ( larrythomson2@googlemail.com). I await your response.

Regards
Larry Thomson

I am Mrs Theresa Brown from Netherlands,I am 58 years old,i am deaf and suffering
from a long time cancer of the breast ,from all indication my conditions is
really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that i can't work or do any
stressful thing, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not
live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a
very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to
my late husband for twenty years without a child ,My Husband (Kenneth Brown) died
in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings
and deposited all the sum of $8.6million dollars with a Security Company in United
states of America .Presently, this money is still with them and the management
just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for
keeping it so long with attract a demurage fees as the security fees paid by me has
expired or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on
my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it
confisticated.So instead of getting it confiscated i rather have someone whom i
can trust to recieve the funds and utilise it according to my wishes.And the
best part of it is ,The security company told me in the letter that they can
have the consignment funds delivered to my approved next of kin in his house if
within USA or transfered to his bank account and if outside USA then transfered
to his or her bank account.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital in Frankfurt Germany where I
have been undergoing treatment for my sickness . I have since lost my ability to
talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a 2 months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested/donated to any
organisation/buisness of your choice and distributed each year among the
charity organization,E.g the poor homes,the motherless babies home where i came
from,the deaf homes,and churces etc .All i seek for is a God fearing person like you
,who will carry out my last wishes and before i emailed you today i prayed and the
holy spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email.I took this decision,
before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security
Company in the USA. All i need from you is a confidential assurance that the
funds when recieved by you will be used for the said purpose,Nowadays there are

so much scams going on in the internet and it is diffcult to trust but i dont
know why the Holy spirit still approved me to email you about this out of few
email addresses i have from the internet,yours was the only one that was
approved for me to contact.

Waiting for your reply.

Yours In Christ,

Mrs. Theresa Brown

Anyone notice how all these supposed bankers, lawyers, doctors, can't spell?

Would you believe, in a place where I once worked a similar missive came by fax. With CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL at the top although it was sent to the company fax machine and To Whom it May Concern. And management wanted to reply! That's how dumbass that company was. I had to explain that bankers and lawyers just don't work that way. They don't send unsolicited business propositions to unknown persons at obscure companies.

Try just setting up a simple checking account and see all the paperwork and verification. But these jerks were really ready to believe they could get a million dollars or something by replying to an unsolicited fax. Amazing.

Are you surprised they went out of business?
