Well, here is a new twist on the Nigerian '419' [or is it '409'] Scam. Another chance to help somebody get money out of a foreign country. Sheeeeeeeshhhh.

Not sure if this should be in Gen or L&P forums, but thought someone may find this of interest....after the reports recently of revenge taken out on a Nigerian "diplomat" by a party/parties that got ripped.

GREETINGS,


This letter was borne out of my sincere desire to establish a business/mutual relation-ship with you to invest in your country. I got your contact while I was making a research in liberary and i have the believe that you will be relaible after going through your profile.


My name is FRANKLIN GEUI, the SON and the only child of Chief ROBERT GEUI the former HEAD OF GOVERMENT of COTE D' IVOIRE who was killed and mutilated by the military junta and revolution in the elected goverment of MR. LAURENT GBAGBO.


Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbances in cote d' ivoire but the pressure of war drove me and my mother out of cote d' ivoire into exile in England where we have been living under political asylum for 3 years.Sadly, my mother died of cancer 6 months ago and was buried in England.


Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant for a secret deposit, which my father made in a security company in Accra, Ghana.The deposit that is worth $26,000,000.00 (Twenty six million U.S Dollars) was money paid to his corporation by its overseas customers in the heat of the conflict. He made the dep-osit in his name with the hopeof converting it to his personal useat the end of the war but was killed when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposi-tion to the rebel forces.


I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership. Due to the death of my mother,I have decided to solicit for the participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist in the transfer and business reinvest-ment of the money. I can not do it alone due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the money at the end of the transaction.
If you are interested in the above proposal, contact me immediately through the email address indicated above for more details. You must maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please,indicate your personal Tel/Fax nos. when replying by email OR EMAIL ME [email protected].

Regards,
FRANKLYN GEUI.
 
Tell y'all what - I've got a bridge that I'll trade for that cash?

You know, it's too easy to trace people these days - I'm VERY surprised that folks can get away with stuff like this, identity fraud, etc... I mean, if someone ripped off a credit card number, and ordered a bunch of gizmos, they'd have to be delivered somewhere, right? Just send the cops, have 'em knock on a door with a warrant for the gizmos, throw the book at 'em, tattoo a picture of Pamela Anderson on their backs, and throw away the key...
 
Remember, folks...

...If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Or, as the ancient Romans used to say: Caveat emptor, baby.
