I had one totally in French yesterday, which made a change. Usual story though - woman dying of cancer, no children, wanting to give me the money so I can do good works.

Have been keeping an account of offers recieved....I'm up to nearly $500,000,000 so far, and there have been at least 40 air disasters in Birkina Faso in the last 6 months...(sounds like a dangerous place to be!)
It's actually becoming dull deleting them now.
For more fun, I would recommend "419 eater" website. for some wonderful stories.
One of my favourites is the Scammer who was persuaded to hand write 250 pages of a Harry Potter book for some specious survey in the hopes of getting cash!
A very enjoyable read!

On the site 419 scam eaters, they show many photographs of (presumably) Nigerians holding strange and sometimes obscene signs. They were persuaded to have these pictures taken in order to further the scam being perpetrated. One I saw for instance was photographed with a pineapple on his head, others hold placards with unpleasant things writen on in heavy type. What people here in the West don't realise is that these unfortunate folk are NOT the scammers, they are paid a few pennies to do this by the real scammer, who would never risk his identity to be revealed in a photo. I find it pitiable to see the innocent and uncomprehending expressions on their faces. Some are merely children. They have no idea the person paying them to have their picture taken is a crook. I find it very sad that 'scammer baiters' get pleasure from these 'trophy photos' as they are called. One has only to delete the spam and leave it at that.

Dear Beneficiary,

Series of meetings have been held over the past 7 months with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization. This ended 3 days ago. It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of $850,000.00 due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for their selfish reason and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your funds which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt.

The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current president of Nigeria his Excellency President Good luck Jonathan to boost the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes. Now how would you like to receive your payment? Because we have two method of payment which is by Check or by ATM card?

ATM Card: We will be issuing you a custom pin based ATM card which you will use to withdraw up to $3,000 per day from any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it and the card have to be renewed in 4 years time which is 2015. Also with the ATM card you will be able to transfer your funds to your local bank account. The ATM card comes with a handbook or manual to enlighten you about how to use it. Even if you do not have a bank account.

Check: To be deposited in your bank for it to be cleared within three working days. Your payment would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be mailed to you via UPS. Because we have signed a contract with UPS which should expire by April 15 2011 you will only need to pay $135 instead of $420 saving you $285 So if you pay before April 15 2011 you save $285 Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely a fraudsters and you will have to stop communication with every other person if you have been in contact with any. Also remember that all you will ever have to spend is $135.00 nothing more! Nothing less! And we guarantee the receipt of your fund to be successfully delivered to you within the next 24hrs after the receipt of payment has been confirmed.

Below are few list of tracking numbers you can track from UPS website to confirm people like you who have received their payment successfully.

Name: Donna L. Vargas: UPS Tracking Number: 1Z757F991598420403 (www.ups.com)
Name: Rovenda Elaine Clayton: UPS Tracking Number: 1Z757F991596606592 (www.ups.com)

Note: Everything has been taken care of by the Federal Government of Nigeria, The United Nation and also the FBI and including taxes, custom paper and clearance duty so all you will ever need to pay is $135.


DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU READ THIS: The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $420 but because UPS have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping We had to sign contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual fee of $420 to $135 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

You guys ain't heard nothin'! I got a phone call yesterday from 'someone' with a very thick African accent....he mumbled something about a 'cashier's check' and 'prize' and asked me something, all the while assuring me that his was a 'reputable company'.
   When I allowed as how I had entered no contest and was sure I had one no prizes, he asked "How you think then I have your name & phone #?"
I laughed and told him how people get such names...and I hung up on him. So help me, he called BACK! He could not believe I didn't want my prize! I still could barely understand him, and said that IF there was someone who spoke better English at his "company", they should call.
So help me, someone with a 'slightly' better Nigerian-sounding accent called back! I asked him what this was...he said I had indeed won this money, and would I be home today so "his boys" could deliver my check.
I asked how much the check was for and where HE was..........."California" and "$87,000".... I explained that *I* wasn't born yesterday and that NO ONE would be offering me $87,000 using a company staffed by people who spoke bad English and calling from California....I finally told him *I* was hanging up, and they were NOT to call me back!

In the hour afterward, I thought of 3-4 things I should have done...including saying "come on over" and having the police waiting....
