Default A new Scam email...Gotta love these bastards!!!

Feel free to email this bitch and try to get the check, it would be a nice center piece of conversation in your living room.lol

Dear Friend,
I'm happy to inform you about our success in getting the fund
transferred under the co-operation of a new partner from Paraguay.

Presently I’m in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share of
the total sum. Meanwhile, I didn't forget you’re past efforts and attempts to assist
us in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

Now contact my secretary, his name is MR.DESTINY CHUKWU and his email
address is destinycsec95@yahoo.com TEL: 234-80308041 ask him to send
you the total $800.000.00,(EIGHT HUNDERED THOUSAND DOLLARS) draft which I kept
for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist us in
this matter. I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. So feel free
and get in touched with my secretary MR.DESTINY CHUKWU and instruct him
where to send the money to you. Kindly confirm to him your full name, address
to send it to.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share
the joy after all the suffer ness at that time. In the moment, I am very
busy here because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I
are having at hand, finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to
the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free
to get in touch with MR.DESTINY CHUKWU and he will send the amount to
you without any delay. Ask him to verify the cost of banker’s courier and
insurance, which is all you are going to take care of so that he will
send it to you. As I couldn’t pay for it before I wrote your draft due to
the urgency of my trip.


Note that other people may be contacting you in respect of the same
fund, as it is still in Central Bank Of Nigeria vetting computer.

Yours Truly,
William Johnson



Cliff Notes:
Apparently I have been helping this guy before?and now he has $800.000.00 to give me....hilarious, note the broken english in the message but his name is still William Johnson......and he is in Paraguay, but the money is in, you guest it, NIGERIA. Oh and the partner sending me the money is named Destiny.....I mean how stupid is people to fall with this bullshit.

Not sure how this one works. The others where they send you a cheque for $5,000 to pay for a $1,000 item, they give you a fake cheque. You make the deposit. If it has a US bank on it, they give you credit for the money. Then you are supposed to get a real cashiers check and send the difference back to them.

A few days later they tell you it was a bad check and now your account is -$5,000. You lose.....

With th is one $800,000, I'm not sure. Maybe they'll ask for your account number to do a "wire" transfer to it, but instead they take money. I don't know. But it is a scam.

We had posted a website before, dedicated to get back at these guys.

.

They want you to pay them this, and I'm sure its a big chunk(%) of that 800K....

I just got one of these the other day, too. and at my military email no less. It was from the Republic of Benin. Something about using me to clear checks or some ----. I emailed back and said that they were now on a terrorist watch list, and should expect a visit from a smart bomb shortly.

I'm seriously tempted to make a fake email adddress, write the guy saying I'd help him out just to get that check, I'd then hang it on my wall for conversaton...or just flash it at the ladies, "oh whats this! another weekly paycheck!'

i made the mistake of responding to one of them from nigeria with the good ole, "uh please go ---- yourself"
bitch ended up getting on messenger and instant messaging me, so being curious i started asking some questions. like mainly how the ---- did you get my name and why are you asking me to come to nigeria and take your money. all she would say was that she was very poor and had three kids and they have no money.

so i asked how she was on the internet if she has no money? then i told her i was reporting her to the fbi and she went away.
