The Shining Source

The Nigeria scam is probably my favourite scheme. Here's one of my favourites so far:

Why has he got a foreign number if he's in London? Why is he in Bedford Row AND Chancery Lane? Why does he have a Russian email address for the reply?

Dear Newton, Not very polite

  Am Mr.Isah Teka, in charge of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance
Department of AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC. I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department. We discovered an unclaimed sum of $25Million (Twenty five Million Dollars) in an account belonging to Mr (John Newton) ,a native of your country.who was an petroleum/gas consultant/contactor with the Nigeria National Petroleum coporation who happens to be deceased during a business trip. Which was he, a consultant or a "contactor"? He died with his wife and three children on board the Swissair Flight 111 , which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd 1998.
The plane crash was in the news.See links below for more detail

Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has appeared to claim this money.We cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.I therefore decided to look for a foreigner who bears the sauname Nice story, but just because we have the same surname doesn't mean we're related. Sauname, sorry

Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of eight (7) years, THE BEST BIT it would be transferred into the DEVELOPMENT BANK Treasury as unclaimed fund. Another officer and I in the department now decided to transfer this money into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go back into the bank treasury as the unclaimed debt.

We have decided to give you 25% of the total sum. That's not a lot. What happens to the rest of it? He said he was transferring it to me.
All you have to do is to send me Your company name and address Telephone & fax Numbers for effective communication. NICE TRY

I will do my best to see that we conclude this transaction successfully
on time. Please if you are interested send me an immediate mail .

Waiting for your urgent response.

Best Regards.
Mr.Isah Teka.

I enjoyed that.

Received any good bratwurst recently?

I did get one offering to sell me child slave labour, but I can't find it now : (

I hate bratwurst. I've had some real crap lately, mostly about viagra. Only they don't call it viagra. Oh no, they have gone for a few more marketing style names. Heres my top 5:

1. F*ck longer pills
2. Extra time pills
3. 15 minutes of waiting and 36 hours of pleasure pills
4. The most chaep big penis pills
5. Great action pills

I also get alot of 'security warnings' from Halifax bank warning that my account is being hijacked and to send them my details... shame i don't have a halifax account really!

36 hours of pleasure?  Wouldn't you get a little strung out?

It doesn't look like much, does it? He's posted once before saying the same thing, "good, very good!" which made me vaguely suspicious.

Then I dragged over his post. What a clever bastard.

lorcet addiction


What the shit?

I was addicted to lancets once.



They're very nice with cream.

You should have replied with some fake information, maybe give them the local police number, or maybe a telemarketing company, they deserve eachother.
