Today's 419 Scam

I really dont get it, how these idiots manage to steal anyone's money. Anyone stupid enough to get ripped off by these idiots, deserves to lose their money. This one, and variations of it have been going around for over a year.


Dear Friend,

I am Larisa Sosnitskaya and I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky the
former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia. I have a very sensitive and
confidential brief from this top (oligarch) to ask for your partnership in
re-profiling funds US$46 Million. I will give the details, but in summary,
the funds are coming via Bank Menatep. This is a legitimate transaction.
You will be paid 20% as your commison/compensation for your active efforts
and contribution to the success of this transaction.

You can catch more of the story on This website below or you can watch more
of CNN or BBC to get more news about my boss.

confidential telephone number,fax number and email address and I will
provide further details and instructions. Please keep this confidential as

Read on for another Monkey who needs to get an original story...

Dear,

I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you may
be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained below;

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5m US dollars (Ten
million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 1998 in
a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot
release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt
that his supposed next of kin(his son and wife) died alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim .

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin (We want to present you as his busines
asociate )to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
Unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .We agree that 30% of
this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision
of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 60% would be for me and my colleagues.

There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate
transfer of this fund to your account as arranged,you must apply first to
the bank as next of kin of the deceased customer. Upon receipt of your
reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.

I expect that you contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,
DR .ABU ALASSA
