You read that right! According to this email I got today, I'm gonna stand in as the next of kin for some poor jerk who lost $10.5 million and my cut is over $4,000,000! BTW, Please don't tell anyone... FROM THE DESK OF MR IDRIS BELLO BILL & EXCHANGE MANAGER/ AUDITING. GROUP BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA . DIRECT NUMBER TEL/ 00226 76 61 65 94 Dear Friend, I am the bill and exchange manager at FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $10.5million US dollars, TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS in an account that belonged to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or a business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin or a business associate to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. Since the bank law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Six years the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin. I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me and my Family. There after I and my Family will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated and for some possible investment under your kind control. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as a business associate or next of kin of the deceased person. I will like you to send me the following informations. 1.NAME IN FULL:................................ 2.ADDRESS:....................................... 3.NATIONALITY:................................... 4.AGE:............................................. 5.Sex.............................................. 6.OCCUPATION:...................................... 7.MARITAL STATUS:.................................. 8.PRIAVTE PHONE/FAX NUMBER............................................ Please i will like this transaction to be strictly between you and i Upon receipt of your reply, I will start by giving to you the application which you will fill and send to the bank, I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer and given your 100% full assurance and risk free transaction. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail, Trusting to hear from you immediately, Yours faithfully. Mr Idris Bello
I once got an email telling me that my brother (and it mentioned him by name) had been killed while vacationing overseas somewhere and he'd left me $10,000,000. I sent it to my brother and he was quite shocked that he was dead and a millionaire. -Chelle
I just love these types of emails for some reason. I always wonder if they ever actually find someone who jumps on the "opportunity" expecting to get money.
you ARE going t spread the wealth with your buddies here on stangnet... right? if people were not so gullible and greedy these scams would never get any traction.
Just to let everyone know I won't let my newfound wealth go to my head, I will be splitting the entire inheritance equally with everyone who replies. Just send me your account number, any and all passwords and I promise you will see an immediate change in your balance...
Hey! Why were you calling and asking me for my account info and SS#??? Are you up to something? EDIT: Just so you know, that "sosch" I gave you was in reality the body buck number off my old '72 F100
thats ok stangdreaming, i sent your real ss# to bbfcm, cause i want in on the riches as well and he is going to share his take with me.
Well, H3LL! Waitaminute..... did you use that SS I put down on my W4 for National Satellite back in 1984? 'Cause that was the one I sent Fritz!
Doesn't Matter! I have your real SSN.......don't ask how, I won't reveal my source! Just so you won't be surprised when the IRS man comes a-knockin' on your door about those unpaid taxes!
ve haf veys of getting ze information ve need oh and after the IRS finishes with you on those taxes, you might want to change your name, i have a feeling that someone may come looking for you regarding a land sale i made. battling bruno is not happy
Ummmm......ya, and Fat Tony wants the twenty grand *you* owe him for that nag *you* bet on...............
Never fly, Fritz..... I own horses - including that cranky old 5th gen double-bred Man O' War bastidge of Tink's. Fat Tony knows blue-collar horse owners, and he knows I'm too freakin' experienced to bet on a horse! You're on your own with this one As for the IRS...... ITN! Turns out Screwy Dewey the owner didn't claim me as an employee as an employee for almost a full year of the year-and-a-half that I worked for him. Didn't pay taxes 'cause he didn't report any (just took them out of my paycheck and kept them in his pocket). He did that with like 5 different people over 4 years, so I'm pretty sure he's not gonna "give it up" any time soon. EDIT: Believe it or not, that last paragraph is true. Didn't find out 'til I got my W2, then had a friend who worked for DES do some "discreet" checking of my employment record. Never heard if the old boss got caught and went to jail.......
i made that bet in your name i was hoping for a big score to get out of the country. and dont try to sic fat tony on me, he dont know me.
Careful on bringing fat tony into this mess..... I might just have to bring in my uncle (honest to goodness by mairage uncle) "skinny joe" all we know is that he's from italy and that he's got a "financial" office on wall street. he gave the same state trooper that i got a ticket from an all expenses paid vacation...what he meant by that....I'm still not sure of
Heyheyhey..... no fair bringin' "family" into this! It usually gets confusing, to say the least! My Dutch (as in Deifennderffuor, anglocised into Devendorff) Grandfather, while raising my Mom and her brothers in the '30s in Philly; apparently acquired the moniker of "Gilly Dee", while acting as Managing Partner in 3 jewelry stores that were silently partner by a couple of "men of great honor and distinction" - and apparently Mediterranean ancestry. We'll just leave my Dad's Mick roots out of it.... I'm told Leo DiCaprio played a character based on my great-uncle Pat in some movie with New York in the name. Can't believe he'd actually make it very long out here in the Sonoran Desert. (Besides which.... a guy with an Italian name that fruity playing a 2nd-gen Son of the Emerald Isle???? ) On Mrs StDR's side of the family, there is "Uncle Louis" (pronounced LOO-ee); who although first-gen Hungarian-American; has built quite an empire in the construction/engineering/contracting field - with the help of some of Cleveland's "men of great distinction"... yadayadayada. He would bid on certain projects for major companies/governments; and all the other bidders would mysteriously back out Somehow, there seems to be "a history" between the two families ("Nothin' personal, it's just business") over actions taken long before either Sue or I met (or were even born)..... I'm advised that "it just isn't pretty" when they get together; so let's just don't go there!
