This is what I received by e-mail. What do you think: should I transfer that money or not?
I wish to inform you i was the intimate and entrusted kibitzer of late Mr G.Popescu ,whose life and that of his entire family were lapsed while on holidays in a holidays resort in Phuket Thailand on the 26th of December 2004 in the Tsunami natural disaster.My late client was a merchant in hygienic products via West African Coast tro Thailand as an import and export executive.
I have made several probes here to uncover any of my clients extended/distant relatives, which resulted abortive. After these ineffectual exertions,I decided to search through, with his genealogical names which persuaded me to interact with you, to locate any member of his lineage therefore reason why i channelled this inquest to you. I have contacted you to facilitate in the fund transmittal of total valued at US$6.1 million (Six million,one hundred thousand usd dollars) that was entrusted in this bank by my late client , before it gets expropriated or declared nonfunctionalble by the bankers here in the country where this huge amount were retained.The said bank has authorized me with official observations to provide the next of kin or have his account expropriated within the next fifteen official working days.
Becuase i have been unable to make this relationalship linkage contact , i wish to seek your carte blanche to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the ditto pedigree’s names, so that this fund can be paid to you.So, on receipt of your positive reaction, we will then determine the sharing quota and modus vivendi of the transfer.I have all the necessary credentials/, information and legal documents required to legally equipped your claim.
My demands from you is your sincere willingness and motivated spirited efforts to enhance the ascendancy of this covenant. I hereby give you warranty that this covenant will be consummated with all total repute to all statutory pecking order that will protect you from any fissure of all existing charter.

Ha-ha! These people are something else. I wonder if they actually get anyone to fall for it – why else whoul they keep trying?
Any email like that is a scam, do not fall for it!!
Raluca, maybe it’s for fun! But then again, who has such a sad life, to send hoaxes all day long? They could draw caricatures instead…
Really, Anonymous? So you’re saying I’m not rich?
hoaxes today, but tomorrow they’ll move on to phishing and that’s where the fun turns fun :-)
Like I use to say: There’s no real phishing without a ripping scam! So, bring it on, you exotic e-mail senders!
hahahaha!!!I have a „friend” who sends hoaxes all day long…I don’t know if it’s for fun, or for the money, but his dad is really rich so I never saw the point…
Anyway, George, thanks for fooling us all that u’re gonna be rich?! and remember what anonymous said: Any email like that is a scam, do not fall for it!! :))))
May his fragile soul rest in perfect peace Amen!
I believe the maker of the Nigerian letter would be really proud to see how developed the variants of his scam have become! Doctors, bankers, politicians, all discover they have lots of money that they want to share with others…It is fun!
