A Classic Benin Transaction

While this is a classic Phishing email, trying to get your contact information and maybe even you money, it tries several different approached. Greed, religion and the classic “third-party verification”. One of the best lines is “helping me over the transaction in the past despite it came to fail us.”

My Dear,

I am hereby to inform you that i have been able to complete up with the transaction we had in the past regarding to the sum of $6,000,000.00usd which was supposed to be transferred into your account,though it came to fail us somehow because you were unable to meet up with the requirement of the bank.

Therefore, i am very happy to inform you that i have been able to complete up the transaction with the aid of a business counterpart in person of Mr.Harrison T.Douglas from united states.And i am presently, in japan for an investment project with my own part of the fund which was supposed to be transferred into your account.

I must also confess to you that i appreciates all your efforts and endeavours in helping me over the transaction in the past despite it came to fail us.So be informed that i have been able to map out the sum of six hundred united states dollars for your kind help and assistance to me in getting the fund transferred into your account in the past.

Now, all you need to do is to try as much as possible and correspond with my personal assistance right there in benin republic in person of Mr.Ben Worlker on his email bellow: ( sdy.max44@[Removed].com ) ask him to send to you the certified international bank draft worth the sum of $600,000.00usd which i had written and signed in your name before i left for the investment project in japan.

You should also endeavour to get me informed as soon as the bank draft is been sent to you so that i will be aware that it has gotten to you without any hitch ok.You can as well contact him via his private phone number if there is any where you are confused and would like to ask him question:+229-####-#397.

Kindly reconfirm to him your informations as stated bellow to enable him deposit your bank draft with any of the courier service company over there in benin republic that will handle the delivery to your destination without any problem.

(i) Name and address
(ii) Current contact phone

Thanks and remain blessed and may the almighty God continue to guide and protect you and your family in jesus mighty name i pray…..amen.

Best Regards
Dr.Efi Chioma

Investment Opportunity

Why yes, I have some extra cash just sitting around. Should I mail it to you?

Hello,

Excuse my mail but we are sourcing for a private funds investment manager who has steered another fund at his or her current company through the current down market and can do the same with investor?s funds who I am currently managing. The investors I represent believe  successful investing is as much about avoiding risk and containing losses, thereby protecting shareholder capital, as it is about  achieving profits.

The investors require short or long term investments of high quality and low risk. The goal of this type of fund is to protect capital with low- risk investments while achieving a return that beats a relevant benchmark such as a Treasury bill index. If your background is stable and have an unblemished record we could consider a partnership though it depends on what your investment qualities and plans are like. I expect to hear your view on the above and possibly a business alliance can be actualized.

 

Regards,

David Nicolay

No, you Google that!

It truly is a best friend that will pester you for weeks, when you seem so happy all the time.

Google this [Name Removed]?

Hey [Name Removed],

Tom here, telling you that Tina and Steve had a great idea that they shared with me…but only after I pestered them for a few weeks. It was only because they seemed so happy all the time.

They told me that they started “Googleing this” & “Googleing that” and were having more fun than a barrel of monkeys with their clothes on.

So – Google this if you wanna see…

Puppy Love

I guess surfing the “email surfing marketing company with US chamber of commerce” is more efficient that posting this on Craigslist.

Hello,

My name is Tonya Ramirez I got your e-mail address from an email surfing marketing company with US chamber of commerce. My late Grandma was a puppy breeder, she died about 6 month ago and she left 2 Female English Bulldog and 1 Male English Bulldog before she pass a way. One of the female Bulldog Puppy recently give birth to 2 litters puppies, they are so adorable….but due to my work as a Nurse, my job does not permit me to take proper care of these little puppies, I love to take care of them myself but due to the nature of my job i does hardly have time for my self, So i decide to look for someone, who is caring and lovingly parent who will take good care of them and will to adopt them from me, If you are interested in having one of them, Please contact me as soon as possible for more details and information about adopting them. Looking forward to your prompt e-mail again.

Monkeys in a room

Wow, they are waiting to hear from me? 
That last paragraph is great also. It is a technique used to make the message look legit to spam filters.

You “Founded” The Wrong Chick

 Ok so I’m nice but seriously you want me to MAIL A STOVE? Just say, ” I’m going to throw a pricey lie at you and instead of thinking about the lie I want you to throw money at me” 
FYI Elena Winters already here

hi

Elena to elenag – March 2 2009 

From: Elena <########.ru> 

To: elenag@########.ru

Hi,

My name is Elena, I am 31 year and I live in Russian province. I work in library and I use computer after work when it possible.
I finded your address in internet and I decided to write you this letter.

I have 7-year daughter Angelina, her father abandoned us and we live with my
mother.

Due to the financial crisis in our country my mother lost job and our situation became very difficult.

The prices for gas is very high in our region and we cannot use it to heat our home anymore.

The winter is coming and weather become colder each day. We worry if the temperature will below 0 degrees in our home, we will not be able to survive.

For heating our home during winter we need portable stove which give heat from
burning wood. We have many wood in our region, but we cannot buy the
stove in local market because it cost equivalent of 248 US dollars and very
expensive for us.
If you have any old portable stove and you don’t use it anymore, we will be very
happy if you can donate it to us and organize transport of its to our address.
This ovens are different, they made from cast iron and weight about 100kg.

I downloaded our picture to free website and you can see it at:
http://############/ourpicture.jpg
It is not of very good quality, but it will give you idea how we look.

I pray for your help.

Elena.
Russia.

That prestigious piece of paper

Is that a question or a statement? I think the first sentence is missing something.

If you are more than qualified with your experience, but are lacking that prestigious piece of paper known as a diploma that is often the passport to success.

We provide a concept that will allow anyone with sufficient work experience to obtain a fully verifiable University Degree – Bachelors, Masters or even a Doctorate.

Within four to six weeks, you will be a college graduate.
Many people are doing the work of the person that has the degree and the person that has the degree is getting all the money. Don’t you think that it is time you were paid fair compensation for the level of work you are already doing?

This is your chance to finally make the right move and receive your due benefits.
