Title: Seems legit
Post by: Yoho on May 13, 2012, 05:53:12 AM
I got this email the other day:

QuoteHello Dear,

Cordial Greetings to you. I am Mr..Washidi ALLAMU , I am presently working with the Bank Of Africa, here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I am sending you this brief mail just to seek your interest and honest partnership to transfer into your Bank Account the sum of Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($25,500,000), which was deposited in the Bank here by a Foreign customer before his accidental death some years ago. I will send you more details about this deal and the procedures to follow when I receive a positive response from you.

Best Regards,

Discuss.

The only bit that concerns me is the first part "Hello Dear,", which makes me believe he thinks i'm an old woman.  :'(

You should totally play along to mess with this guy.

It's like when a telephone marketer calls me I go "Oh my god, it's so strange you just called. My parents both just died in a car accident. I was just about to kill myself but you called." to make sure they won't be calling again ;) I usually can keep them on the phone for like 2 hours then.

Tell him you're dying of an super serious, fatal disease. The recovery costs 26 million dollars due to new research. Beg him for more and start using all caps "CMON MAN I f*cking NEED THIS!!!!" then he'll feel awful for trying to scam you.

QuoteDear Mr Washidi Aallamu,

I would like to follow you up on your offer. You see, these past few years have been really terrible for me, in 2010 I lost all my possessions and assets due to gambling. My wife left me, I even lost all access to my children. A few months ago my doctor told me I have a fatal illness and if I don't get the right treatment, I will die. The thing is, is that the treatment will cost 26 million (USD) i'm asking you from the depth of my heart, please could you give 26 million (USD).

Thanks in advance,

What about that?

Pfft have fun with more debt my dad read an email like this to me how some Asian oil person died in china and gave all his money to my dad but all he needed was some bank record or something. So he already knew it was a scam.
