A Most Confidential Matter . . .

Dear Sir or Maddamm,
You’re name has been provided of to me by a most confidential and trusted acquaintence of yours as a person that can be trusted with a most important financial endeavour. I am the grand nephew of President Daniel arap Moi of Kenya, and am currently in possession of $2.5 Billion USDollars, which is being held in a confidential numbered account in Botswana. I came into possession of these funds through my position as Director of International Operations for Goldenberg International Company. I need help in arranging a transfer of these sums of amounts to a US based offshore accounting bank. If you would be willing to lend your aid to this matter, I would be willing to give of to you $500Millions of DOllars US. Please send me your credit card information right away.

If you don’t believe this story, perhaps this BBC News Item will help to convince you of the seriousness and truthfullnesses of my position.

Yours in ill-gotten gain,

Benjamin arap Moi,
Director International Operations
Goldenberg International

Sounds like a Nigerian scam to me.

Sigh.

They don’t use numbered accounts in Botswana, Ben.

:rolleyes:
This one is still circulating?

These guys won’t ever stop. They even have conferences where they exchange scam tips.

The best way to respond is with a reverse joke, like what this guy did. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Sadly, there really DOES seem to be one born every minute…

Ever see 419eater ? These fellows spend their free time trying to waste the scammers’ time. More free time than I have.
