This is the first time I’ve seen a Nigerian 419 mail from someone masquerading as a UN army officer. It has all the classic signs of a 419 mail, with the large hidden funds in need of an outsider acting as a go-between, promises of a 100% risk-free business, the phony details (two large metallic […]

Hajia Maria or Hajia Mariam wants to give me 12.6 million dollars
There are people who frown on my attempts to publish all iscams that find its way into my mailbox. But I can’t help to publish the really bad ones like this one, where the scammer haven’t bothered to keep track of the sender name. In the mail header it’s Hajia Maria, but in the signature […]
Two mails from the Central Bank of Nigeria
Yesterday, I received a funny-looking html-formated mail from a »Barrister Goldstein«, acting for the »Central Bank of Nigeria«. It was quite difficult to understand anyting of it, and it had a funny bang of officiality, with beaurocratic wordings, Nigerian flags, an official logo… and centered text with links to a website that looks as if it hasn’t been updated since year 2000. Today I received the followup, which in part explains the first mail.

En första kommentar är att SEO-företagets egen sajt helt saknar PageRank. Detta torde väl vara en första sanity check att göra innan man börjar sälja länkar, för det är länksäljande de erbjuder. […]

Esther Koffi – a do-gooder scammer
We are clearly into the iscammer season, with at least one new Nigerian 419 type of fraud attempt every day in may e-mail (and then I’m only counting the ones that aren’d auto deleted by my serverside anti-spam tools or buried in GMail’s junk mail filter). This one, from an Esther Koffi, isn’t actually new. […]
