Subject: GOOD DAY TO YOU
To:

I am Mr. Harry I have been waiting for you since
to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of
$800.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not
hear from you since that time.

Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX
COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I Traveled out of
the country for a three Months Course and I will not
come back till end of JULY. What you have to do now
is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver your
package to you because of the expiring date.

For your information, I have paid for the delivering
Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate
Fee of the cheque showing that it is not connected
with drugs or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in
your Country. The only money you will send to the
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct
to your postal Address in your country is ($210.00 USD)
Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier
Company so far.

Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other
money except $210.00 US Dollars.

I would have paid that but they said no because they
don't know when you will contact them and in case of
demurrage.

You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for
the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;

Contact Person: Mr. Steve Paul
Email: customer_fedexdelivery2008@hotmail.com
Telephone: + (234) 807 318 2168

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal
Address() and Direct telephone number to them again
to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to
give you the tracking number to enable you track
your package over there and know when it will get
to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon
as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay
and remember to pay them their Security Keeping
fee of $210 US Dollars for their immediate action.

You should also let me know through email as soon
as you receive your Draft.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Harry Young

FEDEX DELIVERY UPDATE

The hotmail email is the worse. They can't seriously think that anyone will fall for that. There's no way FEDEX uses hotmail.

Wilier · Apr 30, 2008, 02:15 AM

But $800k.........for just £210? You gotta do it, do it now!!!

***Zardon*** · Apr 30, 2008, 02:58 AM

jeff make sure you forward the email to the abuse team at hotmail. Some poor sap will fall for it.

**Vikingod** · Apr 30, 2008, 08:04 AM

In my industry (banking), this sort of stuff happens all the time, at least daily, if not more. You'd be terribly surprized as to how many fall for it, or similar scams.

What I used to tell people what "if it sounds too good to be true, it is", and they would still argue with me as to it's ligitimacy.

Son_of_Thunder · Apr 30, 2008, 10:27 AM

Anyone call the number?

SFOSOK · Apr 30, 2008, 09:42 PM

Yahoo = worst email service. The 3 people I know who have it have like super spam. We are talking like 100 e-mails a day of just spam. They only use the internet for checking their E-mail too.

Same with Gmail. Not quite as bad but still get a lot of spam.

Never had a problem with hotmail.

For the last week I kept receiving about 2 spam emails per hour, all the same, about some Canadian Pharmacy or some shit. Who would even open such an email? Anyway, I am quite satisfied with yahoo spam collector. It filters them sufficiently I believe. Not near perfect, but good enough.

Here another good spam lol I been getting
FROM THE DESK OF
MR. Frank Bukar
BRANCH MANAGER
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK
KUMASI BRANCH GHANA.

Hello Dear,

My name is Frank Bukar, I am the branch manager of the International
Commercial Bank Kumasi branch Ghana. I got your information during my search
through the Internet. I am 46years of age and married with 3 lovely kids. It
may interest you to hear that I am a Man of peace and I don't want problem,
but I do not know how you will feel about this because you may have double
mind. But I am telling you that this is real and you are not going to regret
after doing this transaction with me. I only hope that we can assist each
other. But if you don't want this business offer kindly forget it and I will
not contact you again.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the
regional manager of the International Commercial Bank; it is my duty to send
in a financial report to my head office in the capital city (Accra-Ghana) at
the end of each year. On the course of the last year 2007 end of last year
report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made three
million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar [3, 750.000.00] which my head
office is not aware of it and will never be aware of. I have since place this
fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary.

As an official of the bank I can not be directly connected to this fund, so
this informed me of contacting you for us to work, so that you can assist and
receive this fund into your bank account for us to SHARE. Mean While you will
have 35% of the total fund, Note there are practically no risk involved, it
will be bank to bank transfer, all I need from you is to stand claim as the
original depositor of this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that
my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.

If you accept this offer to work with me, I will appreciate it very much as
soon as I receive your response I will give you details on how we can achieve
it successfully. Please contact me with this email address: bukar_06_1@hotmail.com

Best Regards
Mr. Frank Bukar
