never seen one like this before... they tell you they have found out that you are being scammed by scammers and that you have been dealing with them, and so you should stop all dealing with the scammers. they also provide a full list of those scammers/lawyers. they really try hard to win your trust by saying they are trying to help you, and you can help them arrest the scammers, etc.

and of course, they also say that the $2.5 million awarded to you by the NIGERIAN gov is real, and they can help you receive it.

ok, that will most definitely rope in a few more suckers actually... but then they go ahead and ruin the sympathetic tone by threatening you at the end to come and arrest you in your country if you continue dealing with the aforementioned scammers

overall, i would give it a solid B for creativity, whereas the typical scam email gets a D.

it is actually a very official-looking word document with an FBI letterhead/logo plus a logo of the EFCC which includes a pic of a bald eagle, which can be see at the URL below and which seems like a legit site. here is the text.

btw, what's "York's of eggs"? (see bottom)

I just don't understand how these idiots can't figure out that the real "ingenious new twist" that might actually work would be to get someone who actually knows the English language to write one of these. I don't care how good an idea they come up with (this one is NOT a very good idea, by the way) if it starts off with "Hope this mail meets you in good state of mind" and contains phrases like "First of all is to bring to your notice" and "It became imperative that your matter was brought to the lime Light" then you'd have to be as dumb as 0EPII1 to fall for shit like this.

Maybe because they are smarter, more knowledgeable, and less close-minded than you?

English is the first language of about 6% of the world's population. The rest of the world writes English (if they know how) just like what you see in the letter or [much] worse than that. (including in official documents)

They know that they are pretty much not going to get any sucker from the US/UK/Can/Aus/NZ, EVEN if they wrote their emails in perfect English. They know that almost all of their victims will come from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Russia, and South America. So why SPEND money on hiring someone who speaks/writes perfect English when it pretty much won't bring them any new victims?

Also, in most of Africa and Asia (you know, like 3/4 of the world's population), they use British Colonial English, and if you have ever even skimmed through one of those scam emails, you would see that that's exactly what they are written in, barring the grammatical errors.

So before you call me dumb, realize that those scammers are smarter, more knowledgeable, and less close-minded than you, as I have just shown.

8/8/2011 5:11:06 PM

^^ possible... but i do wonder how much these people make. i would think not much, but the fact that they keep going, i don't know. just $1K received from a 1,000 people makes a million. and their operational costs must be pretty low

i also wonder if there are just a few big "companies" that do this under different names, or there are hundreds of small-time 1-2 person scammers spread all over in small rooms/huts.

^ ahaha...

He is in good humor, but wants to come home. In the year since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight and hazard pay and interest amounting to almost $15,000,000 U.S. American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth.

8/9/2011 9:39:25 AM

I remember writing back to one of these people a long and sordid sob story and they never wrote back to me

8/9/2011 9:45:29 AM

OK, I got a pretty cool one today. It is a job offer from Misericordia University in Dallas, PA. (uni is real).

They said they got my resume from a job site where I have it posted, and I do have it posted on the site they mentioned.

Seemed pretty legit, until I saw the URL http://www.unimisericordia.com and got suspicious. Checked it out, and it is a full-fledged detailed website, just like any other university's. Went to wikipedia and got the link http://www.misericordia.edu

Interesting and amazingly, the .com page is nearly a 100% mirror of the .edu page , with all the same faculty names even. On the faculty directory page, the email addresses end in .com on the .com page, and in .edu on the .edu page, but with identical names and job titles. I wonder if I wrote to one of those .com faculty emails, if I would get a response.

Anyway, opened the Word document attachment detailing the job offer they sent me, and got to the benefits section:

Quote :

"Remuneration: This is a highly competitive package consisting of the following: * An extremely generous tax-free monthly salary paid in United States Dollars; (US$ 8,500.00 per month) = (US$ 102,000 Per annum) * Monthly inflation allowance (currently 15% of basic salary). * Monthly transportation allowance. * Free furnished accommodation, according to marital status. * Free health care. * Elementary and secondary school education for 2 dependent children. * Free flights to US, as well as annual air tickets to point of origin for vacation purposes. * Up to 60 days paid summer leave plus 2 short national holidays (of approximately 10 days each)."

And I am like there is no way they would pay that much to someone with a master's degree!!! $120,000+ free furnished accommodation?

Then I am trying to figure out how they will make money off of me?

They give me the details of a private immigration office to contact which will help me apply for the H1B visa (employment visa). Of course, they mention that all visa expenses are 100% reimbursed later on

Quote :

"TRAVELING DOCUMENTS; MISERICORDIA UNIVERSITY will provide Flight Tickets, Work & Residence Permit for you after the confirmation of the prototype copy of your H1B Visa (Employment Visa) therefore, you will have to urgently secure your 2 Years H1B Visa (Employment Visa) through the below office because your contract documents hard copies will be dispatched to them upon the confirmation & acceptance of the offer. Also note that all expenses inccured during the procurement of your H1B Visa (Employment Visa) formalities are 100% reimbursable, MISERICORDIA University is not eligible according to the US Immigration Department law to apply for H1B Visa (Employment Visa) for international expatriates, we are only eligible for the procurement of your Flight Tickets, work & residence permit. Selected international employees should contact the below office to procure and secure their H1B VISA; Contact Person: Mr. Thomask Rodriguez Chief Consultant (H1B Visa Section) Oceanic Immigration Office 1013 South State St, Suite 400 Alpena, MI 49707, USA Email: h1b.visa@oceanicoffice.com Website: http://oceanicoffice.com "

I would say this is a pretty good one, and I can name a few colleagues and ex-colleagues who would possibly fall for this. That website is a good trick.

GrumpyGOP is this what you did in Benin?

6/27/2016 9:29:17 AM

Hahaha

So a lot of these actually do originate in Benin, though the senders may be Nigerians. On several occasions I have stood in a busy internet cafe, waiting for a computer to open up. I have surveyed all the people working around me - peeking over somebody's shoulder isn't so rude there - and 100% of the people would be sending scam e-mails.

I'm going to have to disagree with 0EPII1 about these guys being intelligent or well-informed. They just have a copy-and-pasted letter from somewhere else and a document full of e-mail addresses that they try to copy in bulk. I say "try" because a lot of them are struggling to use the Yahoo! mail that 98% of them use. They are e-mail scammers who are flummoxed by e-mail. It irritated me because it meant they were taking longer at the machines I wanted to use.

As for their being "less close-minded"...nah. The educated elite of Nigeria might be pretty worldly, but the low-level scumbags doing the e-mail scamming are the standard bigoted, narrow-minded homophobes who routinely asked me if I could get America to support a Biafra War 2 so they could kill all the Muslims. (For whatever reason most of the Nigerians I met in Benin were Christian Igbos)

Actually, the reason these emails are as base as they are is so only the most gullible among us would fall for it. These scammers want to weed out any critically thinking person early on, so they don't waste their time when they can be scamming someone who would actually fall for it.
