Julius titles his e-mail "GOD BLESS YOU" like a little kid screaming in all caps in the chatroom. Well I say in my most mongoloid of voices, "GOD BLESS YOU TOO JULIUS."Perhaps tomorrow I will contact him as Artemus, since Artemus is always looking for special business opportunities.


FROM JULIUS KOMASI
RUE 25 MACCORYABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA

Dear escam.blogspot.com,

My name is Julius Komasi from Sierra Leonian. I am 21 years old and a student.Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill me.My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last year when my father's associates began suspecting that my father is not givingn prope accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmersn in some villages. This mistrust deepens between Oct-Sept, 2000 when they discovered avery large some of money my father deposited with a Bank here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE (FORMALLY IVORY COAST in West Africa. As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisioned by his associates.At his hospital bed ,he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit which he made on my name as the next of kin, being the only child. He advised me that in case he die, that I should not stay in this country Sierre Leone because his associates will equally kill me hence my mother had died five years ago of breast cancer.He also instructed that if he dies, I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money out of this place (Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire), to his account and the person will help me to invest the money in that country. Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life.My father finally died on the 5th of june,2001 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $8.000,000.(Eight Million United States Dollars) that was deposited in a Commercial Bank by my late father, are with me now.I will give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transferring it into your Account, for onward investment in your country.Please contact me immediately with the above E-mail address and include your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all necessar documents asregards the money before they kill me. It is a risk free transaction.I'm waiting for your urgent reply.

Best regards.sincerely,
JULIUS KOMASI

I represent a group of other investors who are also very interested in your predicament and we would like to help out in any way we can. Could you perhaps go to your superiors and ask for an additional 5% cut for myself and my group? Yes, of course you would be happy to do so.

My investment group is

At this time we will not give out any account numbers or bank names, but you may continue to contact me at this e-mail. God Bless you good Dr. Eze Doo, and may you walk with Christ through life.

I definitely think our most trustworthy African friends who come in the name of Jesus Christ beg for our financial help are getting wise to this blog. Over 15% of the readership is African! So I guess I better change my address and monkey around with them some more.

Now they're starting to sound like porn stars! TT Boy, Peter North, and Dr. Eze Doo. Can you pick out the one that's not a real porn star??? Yep, you guessed it- it's only because you cheated by looking at the title of this post. Dr. Eze Doo is impatient- he gets straight to the point asking for what he wants!

And $60 million??? That's a lot of money! And what would be my 30% take of that $60 million? Let's see, 30% of 10 million is 3 million, multiply by 6, carry the one and we have...oh yeah- zero.

Let's see what else Dr. Eze Doo has to say:


NIGERIAN PORTS AUTHORITY
LAGOS PORT COMPLEX, APAPA QUAYS.


From the Desk of: Dr. Eze Doo
Account/Audit Department.
Nigerian Port Authority

ATTN: SIR/MADAM,
URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since it is from someone you do not know or have seen before, but based on recommendations, I gathered from a very reliable source here in Nigeria.
I am the director, fund co-coordinator of the Finance Contract Department of Nigerian Ports Authority. The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department of the NPA deliberately over-inflated the contract values of various contract awarded. In the course of disbursement my office was able to track down the sum of US$60M (Sixty Million U.S Dollars) as the over invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the NPA domiciliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). My colleagues and I now want to quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad.
We are not allowed as a matter of government p! olicy to operate any foreign account because of our status as civil/public servants. Hence the need to solicit for you?re full banking details, to enable us transfer this money into your account. Upon your acceptance of this proposal, we have also agreed on a sharing ratio: -
1) 30% for you as the account owner
2) 60% for I and my colleagues
3) 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and internationally during the course of this transaction.
Furthermore, we shall be coming over to your country when the money is finally in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as regards to investment of our share. Be informed that, this business is genuine and 100% safe considering the high-powered government officials involved.

Send to me by email the following information: -
1) Your company name and address, bank name, address and account number.
2) Your private email address, telephone and fax number for effective commu! nication.This is to affect the Swift Transfer of this fund into your account in less than Seven (7) working days.
Expecting your immediate respone, while looking forward to a healthy business relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,

Dr. Eze Doo

I like this one: A Christian former-muslim writing from Afghanistan with an African e-mail! sfatima@eramail.co.za


ATTN:Dear,
Home Address: No 24A Idrisa Road,
Kabul,Afghanistan.
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am
former Mrs Fatima Setia, now Mrs Christiana Setia, a
widow to Late Sheik Mohammed Setia, I am 74years
old,I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from
long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications my condition is really
deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live
more than six months according to my doctors. This is
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad
stage. My late husband was killed during the US raid
against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the
period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his
death,I inherited all his business and wealth. The
doctor has advised me that I may not live for more
than six months, so I now decided to divide part of
this wealth, to contribute to the development of the
church in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.I
selected you after visiting the website and I prayed
over it, I am willing to donate the sum of
$10.000,000.00 Million Us Dollars to you for the
less privileged.
Please I want you to note that, this fund is lying
in a Security Company and upon my instuction, my
attorney, who presenlty is in Africa distributing
relief materials to victims of bomb blast in
Seirra-leone; will file in an application for the
transfer of the money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when
transferred will be used for the said purpose,
because I have come to find out that wealth
acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of
God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with
you and your family.
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
MRS CHRISTIANA SETIA.

(Supposedly my Long-lost relative) who was anoil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit recordsand accounts and since then no body has come toclaim the moneyin this a/cas next of kin to the late Engineer.He had only $9.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insiderthat could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars.As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the neededinformation other than my very self considering my position in the bankas his account officer.Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit asnext of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as thenext of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshorebank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am theonly one with the information because I have removed the deposit file fromthe safe.By this doing, what is required of you is to send an application layingclaims of the deposit as next of kin to the deceased officially to thedirector of our bank.I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for theprocessing of the transfer in your name and favour. Finally i want you tounderstand that the request for a foreigneras the next of kin is occassionedby the fact that the customer was a foreigner and forthat reason alone a Nigerian cannot represent as next of kin When you contactme, then we shall discuss on how the money will be splitbetween us.Trusting to hear from you, I remainRespectfully yours,Mr Uwadia Ehinomen.Reply to this email box mr_ehinomen@yahoo.ca

My friend,
I'm not begging or forcing you to do this deal with me ok, if you can't trust me then forget about it. After all you are going to benefit from it also.
Remember that I do not know you in person but only doing it with you based on trust.
Thanks,
Dr. Willy Bayo.

I don't remember ever getting a "passport photo" from Dis guy Dagogo. I was able to snatch it off the following website, which has a fairly amusing story. http://www.littletinylies.com/archives/002428.html 

Thank you for your passport photo. May I ask please to me you send more photos and information that I might know you to be trustworthy?

Here's another collection of Negerian scam e-mails.

I don't know what's up, but my passport photos keep disappearing from this blog. Curses Blogger! There were some really good ones, including a Captain Kirk passport from SPL's Soapbox!

My trusted friend Willy Bayo's passport. How could a man not be trustworthy if he sends you a copy of his passport? 

My dear friend,
Attach is a copy of my passport.
Wait to hear from you soon,
Dr. Willy Bayo.

I've been getting fewer and fewer Nigerian-style e-mails lately. Apparently they've been erasing my name from their databases as I post their e-mails in this blog. Unfortunately, this poor Russian sucker never read my blog. See what you get for not checking out my stuff?

The Moscow police did, however, catch the perpetrators and hopefully sent them to Siberia.

In this case, we see a New Zealand lady conning her relatives out of money to send to Nigeria. $2 million so far! With that much money, it's no wonder that sources close to some of the so-called Nigerian e-mail scam's perpetrators insist that those overwrought messages fuel a thriving industry, employing thousands of people around the world who successfully manage to extract money from a multitude of Internet pen pals.

I guess there's not much else going on in Nigeria, since the Nigerian Scam is, according to published reports, the Third to Fifth largest industry in Nigeria. Apparently this scheme is more than a scam- it's a style of business!

Check this out:

I love this genius' bank name: "City Trust Bank." Now that's a name I can "trust!"

And my response?
"P;lease to me send more information. I need a photo of your passport to know you are trustworthy.
-Buchanan"

I mean, we all know a document online makes something legitimate! They also make my blog look pretty, gives the viewer/reader a little bit of eye candy to suck on.

William's Next of Kin (he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of our chairman, board of directors, Retired Major General Kalu Uke Kalu, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and then be subsequently donatedto the trust fund for Arms and Ammunition, which will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general.In order to avert this negative development, myself and some of my trusted colleagues in the bank now seek for your permission to have you stand as late Engr.William,with your bank account as the beneficiary Next of Kin.we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement.

Another barrister. You know, I had to look up the word barrister in the dictionary. Turns out it's a Middle English-derrived word for British lawyer. So, when playing NTN this afternoon at the "bar"rister, you'll have a head up on your dimwit colleagues who usually kill you at sports trivia. Let us see what Barrister Christopher David Tomlin (a very British-sounding name) has to offer us.

Barrister Christopher David TomlinTel:+39 338 865 91 60Fax:+39 02 95 44 125610-09-2004Dear Friend,Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister CHRISTOPHER DAVID TOMLIN, a Solicitor at law and the personal South African Investment adviser to to late Mr. Graham Robinson a British, who used to be a private contractor with The Gold Fields Limited (www.golfields.co.za) "one of the world's largest producer of gold and the Shell/BP Durban , South Africa who is herein referred to as my client.On the 21st of March 2002, he and his wife with their two children were involved in an auto crash in South of Durban, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country?s embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also provedunsuccessful and frustrating.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you withthis business partnership proposal.

OK, now I think I like this guy. He doesn't come on with a BS line about Jesus, trust, Allah, etc. He just gets straight to the point. I suspect this guy has assimilated into British or American culture at some point and knows how to cut to the chase. Plus, he's using a Hotmail address, which I haven't really seen much of. Here it is: add it to spam lists- portia913@hotmail.com

I see my West African readership has gone up recently. Perhaps that is because our dear trustworthy friend who comes in the name of Jesus Christ has come to visit my blog. Here is his response to all the help I am trying to send him by posting to this blog. I don't think he appreciates what I am trying to do for him.


Dear sir,
How do you mean? please if you are joking,dont joke with me,if you are not interested in the piloting of this transaction,kindly keep off from me.
Regards.
James Okoba.

1 question Rev. Dr. Asara: who was it that died? I'm dying myself from the suspense!


REV DR.ASARA .A. ASARA.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT
CREDIT BANK BENIN
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
WEST AFRICA.
+229-88-98-16
MY DEAR,
I am REV Dr.ASARA .A. ASARA, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Credit Bank Benin republic in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 30th january 2000 on Kenya Airways with aircraft Airbus 310-304 at location Abidjan, Ivory Coast, with registration number 5Y-BEN while travelling with his entire family, his wife, two children and a maid on a festive visit to Abidjan and since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was USD$24.1M (twenty four Million one Hundred Thousand united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Cotonou-Benin, it is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased and get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place, all directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity.
In fact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because i work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.
May i at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as i have made all arrangements for a successful transaction as an insider of the bank before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of any expenses that may arise during the time of transfer like telephone bills, fax and our travel tickets to come over to your country for the sharing of the fund while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please you have been advised to keep this a top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment either in your country or any country you will advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance to champion this transaction with me.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible or you contact me on my private line +229 88 98 16 stating your wish in this deal.
Yours Faithfully,
REV DR.ASARA .A. ASARA

Praise Allah! Finally a Muslim-flavored Nigerian scam. Here it is:

PRAISE ALLAH,THE MOST BENVOLENT. Attention:I am Taibat Wazir ,named person from kuwait.i am married tolate malam usman ismiana of blessed memory who worked withkuwait embassy in sudan for nine years before he died inthe year 2002.We were married for eleven years without achild. He died after a brief illness that lasted for onlyfour days, before his death we were both very devotedmuslims. Since his death i too have been battling with both cancerand fibroid problems. When my late husband was alive, hedeposited sum of $52.5million (fifty two million fivehundered thousand U.S Dollars) with an oversea securitycompany and this money is still with the securitycompany. Recently, my doctor told me that i would not lastfor the next six month due to the cancer problem. Thoughwhat disturbs me is my stroke sickness. Having knowing mycondition, i decided to donate this fund to either moslemorganisation / charity or devoted muslim individual thatwill utilize this money the way i am goingto instruct herein. I want widows and also propagating theword of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds theviews and beliefs of the holy Quaran. The holy Quran emphasized so much on ALLAH'S benevolenceand this has encouraged me totake this bold step.I tookdicision because i don't have any child that will inheritthis money and my husband relativesare new christianscoinverts and i don't want my husband's hard earned moneyto be missused in an unholy manner by people i callunbelievers. Hence the reasoin for taking this bolddecision. I know that after death i will be with ALLAH thebeneficent and the most merciful. i don't need anytelephone communication in this regard because of my healthand alsothe presence of my husband's relatives around me always. Idon't want them to know about this development. I will also issue you a letter ofauthority that will prove you as the original beneficiaryof this fund. I want you and the muslim communuty where youreside to always pray for me. My happiness is that i live alife of a true devoted Muslimworthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH mustserve him in truth and in fairness. Please always beprayerful all through your life. Any delay in your replywill give me room in sourcing for a muslim/christianorganisatoin or adevoted muslim for this same purpose.Until i hear from you may ALMIGHTY ALLAH continue to giudeandprotect you. NOTE:You can also reply to me here via my private emailaddress(taibat_wazir@codehot.co.uk) for confidencial purposeand for further explanation. Yours faithfully, MRS. TAIBAT WAZIR
