I think you will need to go back to / find the absolutely fecking hilarious thread last year about the Nigerian scam. It was a series of emails between an Irish or Scottish bloke and someone from Nigeria. Funny as ****. Where's that thread

I dont understand this I dont think. Whats going on?

as jcase said - it started with a thread last year, it was linked to some site (think it wa s 419eater.com or somthing, the link is in this thread). Anyone they do this thing called scam baiting - which basically is ripping the **** out of those dodgy african emails you receive.

We basically had a crack of doing our own scam baiting - but the little ****er ain't replied. The plan was to keep stringing him along and get him to send us a picture holding a sign with say "YNWA IN UGANDA" or something.

Yeah, unfortunately, he didn't reply on what PTP had to say, so ...

Maybe you could try yourselves, I'll give you the e-mails.

The one from the dude that didn't reply back is: [email protected]

but there is another bloke who supposed to be lfc fan and sent me an e-mail (which I found it in bulk folder about the same time as kaye's) about how he wants to watch the game at anfield and that he's too poor so if i could lend him money etc.

his address is: [email protected] (I never replied on this address, but I think he wants to screw a liverpool fan over because he sent me at least 2 mails after his first - so i guess there is more chance of replies if you send this dude an e-mail).

Oh and one more thing: let's hope he wont find your e-mails suspicious or something, tell him in your e-mail that "you've heard he has a problem, because he previously sent an e-mail to your friend and that you want to help out"

AND DON'T, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FORGET TO POST EVERYTHING HE SENDS HERE!

Peter,

Good to hear from you. I hope you're well and not too upset about my far from rapid reply.

I see it's rather interesting how by replying to your original email, I've been diverted to another email address. How rather strange.

Anyway, sincere apologies for going off topic. How may I be of some assistance to your good self?

Regards,


Lee

Dear Lee,

An Iragi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of Fourty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, Five years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Fourty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration seven years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you the priviledge to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased had no relation all his family died with him during the war and i can not use my relation because its no accepted here in Hong Kong. Also I am very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this deal and all that I need for the time been is your willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the nxst one weeks.

What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure that it passes through all international banking laws regards to this I will take care of all the espensive and the cost of retaining the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required to perfect the finishing.Your only obligation in this transaction is to accept to stand in as the only existing relative of my deceased client and you will have to set up offshore account that can accomodate these funds with my principal bank which I will give you information later once we finalize this deal.

Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through international banking laws and all documents related to will be sent to
you by post for your perusal and trust.

I hope that the above is well clear to you, if so kindly let me have your complete names, complete address and phone number to reach you with. Mind you your names and address will be use by my Attorney to prepare the needed documents that will back you up as the sole beneficiary of my deceased client funds while I shall contact you with your phone number for further discussions.

Once again thanks for your willingness and I am anticipating to reading from you very soon.

Sincerely
Mr.Peter
