m soon to be rich and will buy a sc430! My Dear,
I know this proposal letter might be a pleasant suprised to you as we don't know ourselves before. I am Mr. Solomon Kudoh, a Liberian born 30 years ago, now seeking asylum in Dakar Senegal under (UNHCR) I contacted you as a cause of my serious search for a reliable and trust worthy person that can handle such a confidential transaction of this nature.
My father (Late) Dr.Edward Kudoh the former Deputy Minister of Finance under the executive civilian president of Liberia, but was assasinated by the rebels during the civil war and properties destroyed, but I narrowly escaped with some very important documents of (US$7.5M) Seven Point Five Million U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a high financial company here in Dakar-Senegal under my name as next of kin.
However, I seeked with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality like you to help me transfer this money pending when I will come over to your country for us to meet for investment of the money. Furthermore, I only want this to be done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment, and I also want to add here that if accepted by you, you will serve as the original beneciary of the money.
I feel confidence therefore, to introduce this offer to you. For your participation and all your assistance regarding this transfer, I have decided to give you 15% of the total money. Therefore, you are requested to furnish me back immediately you receive this request to transfer this money from Dakar Senegal to your country residence account or any account of your interest.
On commencement of this transaction I want to let you understand that the future of myself depends solely on this money. So please keep this business to yourself only to avoid raise eye brow of any third party.
I am eagerly expecting your urgent response. I wait to hear from you soon through this email solomonkudoh6@yahoo.co.in Yours Sincerely,

Perry, you are so lucky! I was approached by a Nigerian businessman. Of course I gave him all of my details as soon as I heard about the wonderful deal. I am sure he will get back to me soon...

Dave, they usually ask for some money to cover some necessary costs, so how (or whether) you open a bank account does not matter. If you provide money for the small costs they will ask for more ("transaction fees" "bribe an official" etc) and more until you give up. You might be nice enough to give them a credit card and shorten the process.
The scams do not work by removing money directly from your account.
Incidentally, I woke this morning to find I had won two lotteries for a couple of million Euro. Again.

There are no taxes on lottery winnings or gifts. If you made a running business out of helping poor Africans down to their last ten million then the tax office might be interested. If you assisted the defrauding of a legitimate bank or business the police might take a similar interest. Obviously, none of these three possibilities are applicable because you are the one being fleeced.

I cannot believe the cynisism of you all. Clearly this is a caring and frightened individual who needs our help, not our scorn. Could we not get together as a concerned group of humanitarians and arrange things for him to help out. I would be happy to do my share as a fellow human being and not want the 15% he is offering! If you would all contribute what ever you can afford to my account detailed below I will arrange things through my Bank. I will even arrange tickets forn him on the new airline...SoaringPorkerJets. ps my account is kbruns@Ihaduforasecond.com.au

b3ta.com in one of they're newsletters, showed a person that actually contacted these people, and told them to turn up in person at a airport and then had friends photograph these scammers holding up stupid signs like I.M APenis, or .U AnIdiot. It was funny as. Apparently Dubai is a favorite meeting place, and these ppl were not terribly nice looking.
