Today I got 2 slightly different twists on the old Nigerian 419 Scam. Not in PM or E-mail here, but both came to another e-mail box I use.
I will skip most the details, but will leave in enough for you to spot the scam. First came from "Dr. Emos Tsabalala" an external auditor with Ned Credit Bank of Johannesburg, South Africa. Story line here is that a French Engineer [Peter Claude, Senior] died in a plane crash several months back, and left $30,800,000. Can't locate a next of kin, blah blah blah.
Second was from "Daniel O Michael", an External Auditor with Standard Bank of Taiwan. This twist involves Lt. Muzele Rachidi, Military BodyGuard for Congo President Laurent Kabila. Apparently, President Kabila 'nationalised' the Diamond trade, forcing out the Lebanese Merchants. It seems that Lt. Rachidi left $15,000,000 in an account, can't locate next of kin, blah blah blah.
You must represent yourself as a next of kin, etc...
Just to keep this gun related, how many of Saddams "Pimp-Daddy-Gold" guns could I buy for $45,800,000 ? ? ? ?
(Provided, of course, that somebody doesn't beat me to the money)
