bertusgeert 1 #1 February 7, 2007 Allright, I'm having a bit of fun with a Nigerian Scammer. I recently received the following email, and opened up another account/false name, and started playing tug with Mr. Nigeria. Now I'm running out of creativity. So, here is the deal: Type a response email to the latest email, and if it is funny/creative/original, I will send it to our friend and await his response. (I believe he is actually Japanese - which scares me a bit that he might have superior hacking abilities! I also removed my fake name from the conversation and substituted initials). Here is the email chain, with his "ID" attached. ................................. On 5 Feb 2007 17:33:02 +0900, cliffordwsu@excite.co.jp wrote: Hello, Good day to you, I am Mr. Clifford Owusu from Ghana, as may God may have it I got your contact through a relaible source and I wish to make contact to you on viable business. As a financial consultant here in Ghana, I had a proposition from Barrister Stephen Mensah who is a personal friend to my father and he is also a family lawyer to former president of Liberia (Mr. Charles Taylor), currently facing charges for war crime and crime against humanity in Holland, due to the present situation, the family lawyer has been mandated to look out for foreign partner that will help to secure his funds in a financial house (to be mentioned to you as you show interest) for safe investment overseas. When the lawyer called on my office yesterday he narrated the matter to me and ask if I can provide a trusted person who can handle the situation as the authorities are after him and his properties and the lawyer told me that they do not want the movement of the funds to Europe or America, at this I thought of you, so I will like to know if you can be able to handle the situation and receive the money over there in your country for investment on a viable project. The lawyer told me that for any person that assisted in moving this funds they will give 25% and the source which is me will receive 5% as ordered by the family and after the funds is safely transferred to your account, the first son of Charles Taylor (Prince Taylor) will join you over there in your country to conclude everything on investment. The total amount amount to be transferred is US$12Million. Please consider this proposal and get back to me positively, but note that this proposal should be treated with confidentiality as to avoid betrayal, you should not discuss it with friends and as you reply, I will get in touch with the lawyer for more details on how to proceed. I look forward to your reply soonest and also need your telephone and fax number while replying. Have a good day as I give you good news and glad tidings and opportunity for us to make something out of our friendship comming together. Cheers, Mr. Clifford Owusu. ........................................................ Dear Mr. Owusu, I am slightly stunned by the fact that you were able to contact me through a "reliable source". Please inform me of the reliability of this source so that I may verify your credibility. (You mention large sums of money without knowing my identity, and I would like to verify that this is not in fact a scam. Please do not be offended by this, it is simply a security screen. I take it that you understand the necessity of establishing a solid relationship of trust before we can proceed with business of this kind.) If you do not recognize the email address, I reply from an alternate, secure email address. I will let you know that I am not unaccustomed to business as you propose it. I have been in tough situations myself and was forced to some extremes to avoid governments/politicians/tax authorities sticking their hands my family's estate when we immigrated. I have learned a significant amount about international transactions through this experience and would gladly proceed in determining how we may proceed. So, in your reply: 1. Inform me of your identity as thoroughly as possible, photo ID is a necessity. 2. It is critical that you inform me as to the identity of your "reliable source". 3. Provide me with a brief outline of your previous international monetary transfer experience. Once you have fulfilled these three requirements we will continue with business. Thank you, I look forward to assisting you. Sincerely, TL ................................... On 2/5/07, clifford owusu wrote: Dear TL, Thank you very much for your email.
