Fishing For A Friend

Hello, as Adminfish I receive a number of scammy mailers and I thought I start a collection here so I am not the only one who can have a snigger. More will follow as they come in.

==============================================================================


How are you and your family? I hope all is well with you. I have prayed to God Almighty for a honest business partner who will help me for the transfer of this US$10.5million Dollars into your foreign Bank account number. I am a Banker by profession, and my name is Mr. Paul Fabrice from Ivory Coast, this sum of money belonged to one of our late customer who died along with his entire family in a plane crash leaving nobody behind to come for the claim.. He was a Gold /Diamond dealer in Ghana , before he finally resides in Ivory Coast one of the most beautiful city in West African region and was a contractor, dealer of Cocoa and Agricultural machinery and products.
It was during the bank auditing that I discovered this funds, and calling on you to assist me in providing a foreign account number where this money will be transferred. I promise to give you 40% our of the total money and 60% will be for me. i need your assurance of your capability to handle this transaction both financially, honestly until this money is transferred into your nominated bank account number in any part of the world.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I hope that you will be honest to me when this money comes into your account number. I want you to send to me the following information's:
Your Full name..........
Your Telephone number.....
Your Fax number.....
Your nationality.....
Your Age....
Your occupation....
Your sex.............
Your International passport or driving license.....
With the above information's, I will process the application form which i will send to you, to apply to the bank for the transfer the funds. (paulfabrice42(at)yahoo.com)

Mr.Paul Fabrice

Hi everybody,

I get loads of scam e-mails every day. Largely from people dying from all manner of fatal CON-ditions. And all of these fatally ill people want [or so they 'say'] to give me their life savings just before they 'pop off' - LOL!

Here is a sample scam, as usual all I have to do is to provide my banking details, address, phone number, etc - LOL!
