A new one

[wartknight]

I haven't got this one before-

Hello Friend,

My name is Mrs. Nina Mayers. I am a dying woman who has decided to
donate what I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose
you. But someone has to be chosen.I am 59 years old and was diagnosed
for cancer about 2 years ago,years after the death of my husband who had
left me everything he worked for.I have decided to donate from what I
have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good
work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husbands
hard earned funds inappropriately.

I am presently in London waiting for an operation and praying that I
survive. I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of US$10.5 Million (Ten
Million, Five hundred thousand united state dollars) of my husband
investment in to charity through you for the good work of humanity, and to
help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the
widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact
that I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls
because I deserve all the rest I can get before the operation.

Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this
fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best of luck, and please
use the funds well as I want it to be a seed i have sown and always
extend the good work to others.If you are interested in carrying out this
task,i will inform my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release
of the funds to you. You may wonder, why dont i call the the many
charity group and donate the fund to them, that is the more reason i have
contacted you, there is a little logistic work to be done, and it
involves direct dealing with the bank and providing the necessary logistics
for the transfer of the fund before the final donation, for this reason
and owning to the fact that my health is bad to carry out all this i
have deceided to contact you, in reward, you shall take 20% of the fund
while the rest will be donated to various charities.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until
the task is accomplished,as I dont want anything that will Jeopardize
my last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family
members standing in the way of my last wish. If you are wiling to help in
this course kindly reply to this email to enable my lawyer contact you.

Some personal questions?
Are you married?
How old are you?
Your Phone Number/Fax?
What kind of work / business do you do?


Love,
Nina Mayers

Lucky you...

I just don't understand why mom would do this to me?

[Clonehomer]

Ooh Ooh, if you don't want it can I reply to get the 20%? I assume they just want an email returned with your SSN, credit card number, date of birth, and a bank account number to deposit the funds. That's not too much to ask for $2 mil, right?

[Tweedt4Cy]

Wow u should probably write them back. Seems like a good deal to me.

Since it doesn't claim to be connected with the Nigerian foreign embassy it must be legit.

[wartknight]

I think this is the first one I've got that doesn't originate from Nigeria.

Bingo! + Rep to you

[clonefan_80]

I'm confused, so where was the secret treasure?

[superfan]

I wish someone could set up something to catch these morons. Something like a fake credit card number and address that pops up as a fraud whenever it's used. Probably would never work, but a man can dream...

Also, if you've never heard it, there's a good recording by a man in Virginia who gets called by a scammer. Little long and hard to understand the scammer at first, but it's almost comical how persistent he is.

Recordings: Man Records Phishing Call

Favorite part:

Caller: I'm just coming within two days with two FBI agents, OK.
Howard: Well, you come down here with two FBI agents.
Howard: I'll have them same two FBI agents on you.
Caller: OK, you just wait and watch. I'm coming within two days.
Howard: Well, you bring 'em here. I've got a 357. I'll put your name on it.

Actually it was Nina Meyers, and she was the villian in season 1 and season 2.

I think it was actually Nina Myers, but yes, it was for both seasons.

That show was good for the first two seasons, and now I can't stand it.

These kinds of emails have been floating around for years. Usually different name and similar stories. If you had that kind of money would you really offer it up to some kind of stranger? Goes directly into my spam email filter.
