Today I got another 419 (my third so far this week).  This one was a bit unique; this one actually claimed to be from an attorney for a relative of my husband. 

FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER CHARLES MOORE
HUMILITY CHAMBERS & NOTARY PUBLIC.
NO 12 CREEK ROAD, APAPA, LAGOS NIGERIA.
EMAIL- ADDRESS: humilitycustomercareservices_ng8@hotmail.com
ALTERNATIVE : humilitycustomercareservices_ng@mail.nu

Dear Schlenker,

I am Barrister Charles Moore, the personal attorney to Mr Adam Schlenker.

He was among the victim of the bomb explosion that took place on 27th
January 2002 lagos Nigeria. who is a national of your country, and an oil
consultant/contractor with via Nigerian Liquidfied Natural Gas(NLNG) my
client deposited the sum of US$7.9Million dollars(Seven million Nine Hundred
Dollars) with a SECURITY COMPANY. On maturity, after some months I couldn't
hear from my client again and finally I discovered from his contract
employee (Nigeria Liquidfied Natural Gas) indicating that my Client was
among the victim of the bomb explosion.

And it was clear that he died without making a will to any of his relation
with my office. All attempts has been made to see if I could get any of his
relation but all of no available.

This is total bullshit.  Try Googling Schlenker.  There are so many relatives to my husband out there, thousands of pages show up.

 I therefore decided to look for a
foreigner bearing the same name with my Client who will stand as his next of
kin to claim this fund. The total sum of US$7.9, is still with the SECURITY
COMPANY. No one will come and claim it except the next of kin to my
Client.And according to Nigerian banking law, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Nigerian Government. If the account owner is certified
death and no body comes forward to claim it.

This is the situation, and my plan is looking for a foreigner who will stand
in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you have to do is to
send me Your company name and address if any,Your telephone and fax numbers
which i will use to process and procure all the legal papers/documents that
backs you up as the true next of kin to my client and I will submit it to
the Finance house for proper Claim of the fund and we are going to share in
the ratio of 60% for me 40% for you.

There is no risk involved.Because i will use my position as attorney and
prepare all the legal documents/papers the SECURITY COMPANY may/would demand
from you for this transaction.If you are interested, please reply and be
rest assured that this transaction could be most profitable for both of us.

I am waiting for your quiet reply.

Respectfully,

Barrister Charles Moore.

Just another scumsucking scammer....

I received an email from someone who wants help to move money from one place to another.  He claims to be dying, but doesn't say from what.  He claims to have lots of money and needs to move it, and I would receive a nice commission.  In my experience, if you have lots of money and you are sick, you can find all manner of doctors and hospitals quite willing to relieve you of your money.

Below is the text of Mr. James Robin:

Dear friend,


Firstly, I wish you the very best wishes of good health and Success. I also
enjoin you not to wonder as this letter may come to you as a surprise due
to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions
of causing you any worries as I decided to contact you through this medium.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel SORRY or PITY for me because
I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr James Robin, a merchant
in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal
Cancer that was discovered lately due to my laxity in caring for my health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine and right now, I have only about few
months to live according to medical experts.


I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business. I wasn't too generous, I was always
hostile to people and only focused on my businesses as that was the only
thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.


I believe when God gives me a second chance to live in this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
However, now that I know my time is near, I have decided to give alms to
charity organizations and people, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I do on earth.I have willed and given most of my properties and assets
to some orphanages as well as some Schools in the U.A.E. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. The last of
my money, which I planned to use in openning a shopping complex in London
is a huge cash deposited with a Financial Security Firm abroad, I want to
donate it to any worthy, charity organisation, hence my contacting you with
blind trust having been led by my intuition of goodwill.


MY REQUEST
As a result of my present health situation, I am looking for a trustworthy
individual/firm to help me collect this deposited funds with the Financial
Firm abroad and dispatch it to charity organizations and let them know that
I, Mr James Robin, is making this generous donation as a dying man's last
wish. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where
I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist
me with good heart.


COMMISSION/REMUNERATION
As regards your commission/remuneration, I have decided to offer you 25%
of the total sum and also set aside 5% for all your expenses (i.e for any
expenses you may incure during the process of this project). I strongly
believe that associating with you to embark on this, will derive a huge
success hereafter and it will mark a lasting bond for you and profound joy
for me. If you are willing to assist me I will be expecting your response.

I await your anticipated co-operation.
Sincerely,
Mr James Robin.


NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished because I do not want anything that will Jeopadize
my last wish, as I do not want my family people to know about this because
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate
the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they
refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore,
as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. I will
be communicating with you by email as I do not want anybody(my medical staff)
to know what I am up to as they are always around me.

I don't have any sympathy for cheats and scams.  Word for word, this is a true 419 scam, and has already been forwarded to the Treasury  (Secret Service).  If he be truly ill, I hope this dude croaks, and croaks hard.

A dingbat surely sent this email; it is the sixth one I have received this year.  Can't they at least send me something original?
