This is getting daft...


MY NAME IS MR.MR.Bunu Kadir
THE BRANCH MANAGER OF
CITY EXPRESS BANK PLC
APAPA BRANCH LAGOS NIGERIA
PHONE: 234-8035634722.
SEND YOUR REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL:(bunu_cebbank@sify.com)


Dear Sir,

Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though
I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive
and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the
day.We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction,as
we have been reliably informed of it's swiftness and confidentiality.

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr. Bunu
kadir,a Manager at the City Express Bank PLC, Lagos Nigeria.. I came to
know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to
handle a very confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a
huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

A foreigner, Late Engineer William Adams, an oil Merchant /contractor with
the federal Government of Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a
ghastly air crash, banked with us here at the City Express Bank PLC,Lagos
Nigeria, and had a closing balance of USD$10.5M (Ten Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects
to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively
be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military
war collage here in Nigeria.

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by this bank to get in touch with
any of late Engr. William Adams's next of kin (he had no known wife and
children), but all our efforts proof abortive. Right now, the management
and the Board of directors of this bank has made an arrangement for the
fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE"and then be subsequently donated to 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 Adams's next of kin so that this fund (USD$10.5M) would
be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary
next of kin.

All documents and proves to enable you get this fund have been carefully
worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share
would be 30% of the total amount. 10% has been set aside for expenses, while
the rest would be for myself and my colleagues for purposes in your country.

If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take advantage of the
trust we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly get to me immediately
via my e-mail address furnishing me with your most confidential telephone,
fax and e-mail, so that I can forward to you the relevant details of this
transaction.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated
co-operation.

Regards.

Mr. MR.Bunu Kadir

Take at look at this site, http://www.419eater.com/

Quite amusing what they have got them to do in the past in the quest for 'financial aid'.

This is a link to the original BBC story. I also got loads of these mails once, when I was advertising my motorbike for sale.

Happy to be a BM bore !!

Sequel to this, fervent valuable efforts were made by Nationwide 
Merchant Bank Ltd to get in touch with any of the Late Director of 
the IRC\'s aid programmes in Sierra Leone  Mr Allan Mukuru,family or 
relatives but proved to no avail. it is because of the perceived 
possibility of not being able to locate any of the Late Mr Allan 
Mukuru,next-of-kin that the management under the influence of our 
honorable chairman and members of the board of directors, that 
arrangement will be made for the fund to be declared\"un-claimable\" 
and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for the purchase of 
arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of war in Africa 
and the world in general.

. war is a crime against humanity\" in order to avert this crude and 
negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and i now seek 
your permission to have you stand as the next-of-kin to Late 
Director of the IRC\'s aid programmes in Sierra Leone  Mr Allan 
Mukuru, so that the fund us$50m would be released and paid into your 
account as the beneficiary\'s next-of kin. all documents and proves 
to enable you receive this fund will be carefully worked out and 
more so as professional bankers, we are assuring you of 100% risk

everything possible. thereafter, i will visit your country for

One of the more common ways of defrauding people of their money is to pretend you are their bank instructing them to login and update all their details. Once you do that, you lose everything!

I got another one tonight as follows (opened using Mailwasher - free anti-spam software):-

Now the email is an HTML email and not text only. This means that the sender can format the email. By doing so the sender here has written text https://www4.suntrust.com... but in the HTML code they made this text a link to a totally different site. However, most people would not recognise this little think, they click on the link and are brought to a nice page resembling the suntrust website and then enter all their details. Just to show how well it looks (similar colour scheme, logos, etc.):-

Basically never, enter details about your bank account onto any website unless you are 100% sure! If you are ever doubtful, then don't!
