An embarrassing personal
problem.
I had a wicked idea for a
trophy, I just needed a scammer to play the part.
As this guy claimed to be a bank manager I thought he ought to be able to
draw upon his professional experience to furnish me with a business contact to
bait (i.e. one of his scamming friends). He
did. My comments are in bold,
the scammers’ messages are in italics.

DEAR
FRIEND
I
do hope my letter will not embarrass you since there was no previous
Correspondence held with you. My
getting your address is the handwork of the almighty God. Since then, I have
been very much hopeful that you will assist me Irrespective
of the fact that the present world is full of dishonesty and distrust.
My Name is Afred Udom
I am the Manager of Union Bank of
Nigeria, Plc,Lagos. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition
for you.On December 8, 1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.David Lois Law . made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months, valued at US$15,000,000.00 (Fiveteen Million Dollars) in
my Bank. 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 Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.David Lois Law died in a
ghastly automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that she 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.David
Lois Law did not
declare
any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$15,000,000.00
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 Nigerian Banking Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim
this fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr.David
Lois Law, so that the fruits of this man's labour 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 which will put you in place as the
next
of kin. We shall employ the services of an Attorneys for drafting and
notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/
administration in your favour for the transfer. We would need you as a Foreigner
acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mr.David
Lois Law to claim this money from our bank. The money will be paid to you for us
to share in the
ratio of 50% for me and 30% for you, 10% for tax and 10%
for any expense that may come up.
There
is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
Attorney and my position as the Manager of Union Bank the successful execution
of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that
will help you understand the transaction.
Please
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. Awaiting your urgent reply.
Best
Regards.

Subject: Your e-mail
Dear Dr
Ibe,
Thank you for your very interesting e-mail.
First I must please ask you please to forgive my English not good.
I am Italian. I am from Sicily, Italy.
I speak Italian. I live in
England only little time. I use
dictionary to help write this to you. I
am name Pizza Pepperoni. I am from
business family. We famous for food
and restaurants. Many good Italian
food named after my grandfather, uncle etc.
I not good with interwebnet. I
get start on e-mail now. Before I
let my employees do all this.
I not understand all you say but think I see your problem.
I not sure if can help. Also
have problems now with tax inspecting men who watch all my bank accounts.
If you thinks I can be of use maybe can do, but amount of money not much.
I already own many Italian restaurants, licences to many foods, biggest
haggis farm in Scotland etc. I now
expand into seafood, and into other business.
I see you are big bank manager. Maybe
you can helps me. Maybe you has
business contacts for me. I has
customer many billion Euro pharmaceutical company.
Want common crab that live in sea on coast of West Africa.
Crab shell contain cure for cancer.
Worth huge big moneys, not little moneys like you have in bank from dead
man. Crab called “blue crab”.
It good for to eat. Latin
name is Callinectes latimanus. Go
to www.blue-crab.net
for to learn about it. What that
webnet site not say is that the blue crab that live on W. Africa coast is
different kind. Callinectes
latimanus taurusturdus. Only this
kind worth many moneys.
My customer scientists have way of getting cancer cure from crab shell.
After, the shell used to make chitin (type “chitin” into searching
engine for to see it many use). Crab
meat very good for food to eat. Nothing
lost to waste. Until now problem. Crab go bad very quickly.
Decays in warm climate. Because
crab meat big business my seafood company has special way of quick freezing (we
call “cryogenics”) which preserve it to keep it still fresh.
We have patents no-one else can do.
We can make crab keep fresh with special freezing, take it to food
factory, take meat for food and sell shell to pharmaceutical company.
Then we make very big moneys.
My problem that maybe you can help.
Because no-one in West Africa has our special refridgeration system it
not possible to get crabs fresh to Europe for to be processed.
I not have contacts in W. Africa who interested, or have money for to buy
cryogenic system. It easy to get
fishermen for crabs. Not easy to
get factory for cryogenic system.
If you knows someone interested, I lend moneys to buy our system and we
get started in big business. If you
interested please reply me. Also,
what is your name? You use two
name. Dr David Ibe and Alfred Ubom.

Crabs
Dear
Mr Sunny Awele,
I thank you for your interest. Yes,
for many month I have enquired in Chamber of Commerce and companies in directory
but not luck. I ask many people if
can pass my need to others, maybe now one of these peoples tell you. Maybe my prayers now answered!
First please forgive my not good English. I cannot speak you because I not speak English.
I use internet for to make English become Italian, and Italian become
English (see www.world.altavista.com)
and have dictionary for words computer not know.
Then computer check spelling and make it write, but not grammar.
I hope soon get “Universal Translator” from Federation Enterprise.
It use “voice recognition” and make possible to speak and translate
very easy. When get this (maybe
next month) I tell you.
My business began in food. My
family famous for Italian food. Many
Italian food named after my grandfather, uncle etc.
Now we have many factory, restaurant etc.
I want expand into new business. Have
become big in seafood. For this
develop new freezing system (called “cryogenics”) use liquid nitrogen for
fast freeze to preserve delicate texture and flavour of seafood from everywhere
in world. Everywhere except West
Africa!
Problem is this need expensive equipment.
When started it cheap and easy to work, but first capital cost very high. This is problem. I
not find company willing to buy equipment because big cost.
I would give up but recently got good reason for to try again.
Recent science discovery, still secret in pharmaceutical company, is cure
for cancer find in shell of African crab. I
have deal with pharmaceutical company (one of most big in Europe, but must stay
confidential) for to supply crab shell. Problem
is same as seafood. Crab go bad
very fast in hot weather. Experiment
show only way for to keep fresh is special freezing system we use.
Ordinary freezing not work. This
why pharmaceutical company speak to me, only me can do freezing.
If can make this work, very big moneys made.
Everything from crab worth money. Crab
go to factory in Sicily, take meat for food make money.
Shell go to pharmaceutical company for to extract cancer cure make very
huge money, after this shell used for to make chitin which has many use, make
more money. You see why I very
interested in this. Can make many
more moneys than all Italian foods! When
I get this to work I so rich I hire Bill Gates to wash my cars and your
President Obasanjo to clean my swimming pool!
Because this now become very important I now decide if capital cost
problem I lend money (220,000 Euro for 12 tonne/day capacity unit) to help get
started. If just for seafood I not do this, not economic.
But is very economic now with pharmaceutical company interest.
Finding crab not problem. It
very common all along whole of West Africa coast.
It caught by fisherman for food already.
It called “blue crab”. Latin
name is Callinectes latimanus, subspecies: taurusturdus.
You can read about blue crab at www.blue-crab.net
but this webnet site written by somebody who not know about cancer cure because
this still confidential (please not to tell other peoples yet, there are patent
issues still be resolved but they not affect our business).
Also, only recently it found that African blue crab is subspecies,
different to other blue crab, and only African crab has cancer cure in it shell.
I must stop now. It take me
many hour to make this letter become English (my secretary who speak good
English and Italian just go on holiday now so I very, very busy man).
If you interested and can help please tell me very fast.
This business I make my top priority above everything else.
Grazie

Blue
crabs are already well known in West Africa, but the story about the subspecies
containing a cure for cancer is, of course, "taurus turd"
("Taurus" = Latin for bull; "turd" you can guess).

When I get soon “universal translator” with “voice recognition

Until then I write with e-mail, computer translate and correct spelling.
Sorry if grammar not correct always.
I am very happy
and glad you are interested in my business for freezing crabs. Getting them easy – maybe you know best place.
Any town on coast with fishing men will be good.
Best not near pollution, good clean water mean good clean crab.
If you know of place where many fisher men where you can have small
factory that is good. 12 tonne/day
cryogenic unit take not much space (small factory unit, maybe 200 square metres
floor space all that is necessary). Important
have good reliable electricity source. I
away to Scotland for weekend for start of haggis hunting season. Back

Crab factory.
Dear
Mr Awele,
Buon giorno! I return from
haggis hunt in Scotland. Not much
luck. Weather bad, haggis hide.
I read your message. Yes,
good idea to come to Nigeria soon but need to get universal translator first so
we can speak (unless you speak Sicilian Italian!). I seen demonstration. You
talk to it in English. It talk to
me in Italian. I talk to it in
Italian, it talk to you in English. It
use most advanced voice recognition software.
Can be programmed for many languages.
I hope soon to have this in 2 weeks perhaps. It coming from Vulcan by Federation Enterprise but delays.
I tell you when it come. Before
then I make written translations for you to bring to Nigeria to you of technical
specifications of cryogenic freezing system and factory requirements.
You can give these to your engineer who know how to install.
Not difficult.
Sorry, I think maybe my last message not make all clear.
I summarise now, but tell you full technical details in Nigeria. Here I summarise. Cryogenic
system in two parts. Our part is
special equipment for rapid, but not too strong, freezing.
Other part is standard liquid nitrogen generator.
This other part easy available from many cryogenic system suppliers. We use Brass Monkey Co. Ltd., an English company who have
licence from Russian inventor Hudya Nika Bollockov, but it not matter if you
prefer other company. Typical cost
of this part is 40 – 60,000 Euro.
Our part is special, very accurately temperature controlled unit that
control freezing of crab. Our
scientists studied how water freezes. When
it freeze it expand and break open the cells in living things.
This destroy texture. It
also release chemicals called “enzymes” and these spoil flavour. We find that ice has different forms, called “polymorphs”
at different temperatures. Some do
not expand. The important
“trick” we discover is way to make certain polymorph form without expansion
by freezing in stages and at different speeds.
This way texture and flavour preserved.
We develop this first for seafood business now very big in Taiwan.
Here we freeze crab, lobster, shrimp, squid, shellfish etc. for export to
Japan. To make process work need
very accurate temperature control, and special equipment.
Not difficult to use because all controlled by computer.
Anyone can learn quick. Training
of employee take only 1 hour. This
equipment only we supply. Typical
unit 220,000 Euro for 12 tonne/day capacity (but can run at less, down to 1
tonne/day).
In addition to factory need storage and transport.
Transport very easy. Standard
refridgerated lorry container etc. These
standard and many company do this for low cost.
Storage need small refrigerated warehouse, or at least many tonnes of ice
as often seen at fishing ports where fish stored in ice.
Not major problem. Can
assist with funds if needed.
Until now had not big incentive to expand in West Africa but extra value
from pharmaceutical use now change everything.
I prepared to lend all money needed for to set up factory and buy
equipment (220,000 Euro for our unit, up to 60,000 for liquid nitrogen
generator, other initial costs up to maybe 2 or 300,000 Euro).
You will make many times more money in first year anyway.
Can pay in way that suit you. Bankers
draft, even cash (so tax inspector not to know).
500 Euro notes take not much space in suitcase, customs never see (I do
this many time before). How you
prefer?
I go now, very busy time. Time
soon of spaghetti harvest very important for Italian food, but have problems
with pasta virus. Please reply
quick to say if you understand what I write, and if it good for you.

Yes thank you I have your messages from Tuesday and today.
I start now for to make arrangements to prepare 300,000 Euro cash (600
notes of 500 Euro). When my
Universal Translator arrive (in next week or 2 week I hope) then arranges we
make for to meet in Nigeria where we discuss details.
Also, ready by then will be written translations of technical
specifications for freezing unit which you give to your engineers.
By then also, hope have lists of African suppliers of liquid nitrogen
unit, refrigerated transport etc. but is your choice if you have already
preferred supplier because these standard items.
Where you like meet? Suggest
big city like Lagos, near airport.
I must also ask you favour. This
difficult for me and make me feel embarrassed.
I need please have identification of you.
Please forgive me, I not mean to insult your honour, but I have to be
100% certain you are man you say you are. I
tell you reason. I started e-mail
and interwebnet not long ago (I very old fashioned!). Recent I get several messages from Nigeria say things I not
sure about. Two say they are Miriam
Abacha but say different stories. Others
say stories and want me give them private bank informations.
Friend tell me they fraud e-mails and never to answer them.
He say people use false name and not real.
All false.
Please forgive me if I seem rude. If
you real and a good Christian I ask forgiveness but I need be certain.
I very grateful if you send me please official identification that show
photograph of you. Passport,
national identity card, driving licence etc.
Suggest put on scanner machine and make become electrical picture.
I think they called “jpg”. Please
make very good quality (friend say “no compression”).
Also, because passport etc. can be made false I have idea.
Please make separate jpg photograph that show you clearly with a sign
with a password that I give you and that only you know, and I know, and nobody
else know. For password I suggest
“I have crabs” which is simple and appropriate.
This way, if man in photograph who holds “I have crabs” sign is same
as man in photograph on passport (or driving licence etc.) then I know you are
real man and you are my brother and we do business.
Please tell me that you can do this.
Thank you.

You not take any risk. You

300,000 Euro. Also, not Italians
who send many fraud e-mail saying they are Miriam Abacha, or other person they
are not. Italians people of honour.
You insult my honour. Because
it my money not your money, and because some Nigerian e-mail fraud, it for you
to prove to me you real person. Because
obligation of identity is with you it right to ask you to show it.
Because no obligation with me, it insult to ask me.
Please not offend me again. There
many other company in West Africa. Ghana have big blue crab fishing, or other country where not

If you show me identification, which is obligation with you and simple

Dear
Mr Awele,
Buon giorno! I thank you for
your message. I accept you apology.
I wait the identification. In
meantime I give here more informations for to help you with estimates of cost
and profits etc.
I
guarantee to buy up to 30 tonne/week crab at 8700 Euro/tonne.
This mean approximate 13 million Euro/year sales for you if you able to
meet 30 tonne/week. If not able to find that many crab, I accept whatever you
able to supply.
Refridgerated
transport I let you find best local company for this to do.
Destination is Palermo, Sicily, where is processing factory.
Lorry to airport, airfreight to Palermo is economic.
Will consider sea freight, but longer time for journey. Crabs must remain below 15 degrees centigrade for whole
journey.
Employees
– need only small number to operate freezing unit. Very automatic with computer control. Not skill needed. Maybe
less than dozen to operate, load crabs, etc.
You look at figures and calculate costs.
We can discuss in meeting in Nigeria.
I go away until Monday or Tuesday now.
Pasta virus cause big problems in Italy with spaghetti harvest.
When I return I look my e-mail for you.
Remember please, make pictures good jpg, good quality.
