    Attn: THE PRESIDENT/MANAGING DIRECTOR

    Good Day,

    INTRODUCTION OF MYSELF:
    I am Engineer Richard Sullivan, a Director of Contracts Award and

    review Department with the Shell petroleum South-Africa.


    I am contacting you on the business of transferring the sum of(Twenty

    Million,five Hundred thousandUnited States dollars only)into a safe

    foreign account and the need is very urgent.
    I got your contact from the South-Africa Chambers of Commerce and it is

    with business trust that made me to contact you on this matter.

    sufficient for me to handle the transfer alone successfully without

    financial assistance from a reliable foreign partner abroad like you.

    20% of this sum would be for you as compensation for using your Bank

    account in transferring this money,5% would be used to re-imburse the

    expenses made by both parties during the processing of the transfer

    which includes,telephone bills, travelling expenses and fees. While 75%

    is for me.

    Please note that I will arrange to meet with you immediately after the

    successful conclusion of the transfer, the 75% share of mine will be

    used for investment overseas. Your assistance and co-operation is

    highly
    needed.I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you are

    interested kindly send this following infomation

    2. Your private and confidential telephone/ fax number(s)and Cell

    phone.
    3. Your bank name and address, your bank Telephone and fax number(s).

    I hope to conclude this business within the next fourteen- (14) working

    days.Looking forward to your anticipated and urgent positive response

    via e-mail. "enquiry.sullivan_file@myway.com"

    Best regards,

            I remember when I used to work at a cell phone store and sell phones on Ebay. I would get emails like this and I knew they were bogus so I would respond and tell them that their money cleared and that the phones were on the way. You know, just to mess with the guy.

                schemes

                These are called "advance payment schemes" in the fraud investigation trade, and are one of the most common frauds you can find. The sad part is they are also the most commonly fallen for--becuase of greed. And it's not just the old folks on social security that fall for them, it's supposedly smart executives and others who think they can make a lot of money very cheaply. When Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute, some of the folks who fall for teehse used up about an hours' worth.

                  This is not a "advance payment" scheme. They are trying to persuade you in to releasing your bank information so they can take it all.

                        Some even got the scammer to send them money.

                        Sean

                        BTW here is my last one:

                        MR.Qin Wang
                        HANG SENG BANK LTD,
                        DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
                        CENTRAL HONG KONG
                        HONG KONG.


                        I am Mr.Qin Wang, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd,I have an urgent
                        and very confidential business proposition for you.

                        I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
                        contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude,
                        but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this
                        medium,sorry my English is not very good.Furthermore, due to this issue
                        on my hands now,it became necesary for me to seek your assistance, and
                        it is imperative for me to know your opinion.


                        On January 6 ,1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the
                        Chinese Petroleum and Chemical Corporation Mr. Richard Nault made a
                        numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
                        US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars only) in my branch. Upon
                        maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
                        got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
                        discovered from his contract employers, the Hong Kong Petroleum and
                        Chemical Corporation that Mr. Richard Nault died from an automobile
                        accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without
                        making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.


                        I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Richard
                        Nault did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
                        documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
                        US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
                        rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
                        ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the
                        expiration of 5(five) years,the money will revert to the ownership of
                        the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.


                        Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
                        stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Richard Nault so that the fruits of
                        this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt
                        government officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide
                        immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will
                        prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in
                        place as the next of kin.


                        We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
                        notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and
                        letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.The
                        money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
                        70% for me and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course
                        of the transaction.
                        There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
                        be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer
                        guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.If you are
                        really interested in doing this business with me please reply
                        immediately to this emal address, mrqinwang2003@netscape.net . or
                        Fax:852-301-55224.


                        Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
                        relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.

                        Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
                        communication. You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
                        assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
                        because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
                        country.

                        A your urgent reply.
                        Thanks and regards.

                          LOL....

                          speaking of scams, i was listening to the radio this morning on the way to work, and they were talking about a guy named Louis Silles in Maryland. To make a long story short, apparently this guy got a hold of a whole bunch of NFL players home phone numbers, and actually managed to scam a few for their money. They said he called Donovan McNabb and acted like he was some player on the ravens (gave a name and all, i believe it was the kicker's name) and asked that he wired money to some grocery store in maryland for his "cousin". The "cousin" was himself and he even gave his real name. Supposedly he did this to a couple players, and then tried it on Warren Sapp. Warren became suspicious, but still went through with it. After he got off the phone with this guy, he called the cops and gave the name of the store and where it was. When the guy tried to pick up the money, the police were for him.

                          I guess a fool and their money are soon parted

                            Once you post something on the internet for sale, every boob in the world is after it. Last year I had a Cadillac Northstar block for sale for $2,000.... They were all interested in it, and wanted my best price, now $20,000 "since it handles very well in the corners". Nobody ever did show up. But check this guy out, Brad Christenson has taken these guys up to a much higher level:
