national-bank-abu-dhabi

Ahmed Al Asiri seems to be living in the past. A past, when 419ers where roaming the internet with their wonderful confidental letters bearing wonderful news about inheritances tat where to be collected and hidden funds that need a proxy for a bank transfer.

It’s been quite some time since I last found any of these in my mail, but my new-found 0inbox policy reveals them in a new way, and since the iScam section of this site needs a new contribution, I thought Ahmed’s mail about trying to scam the National Bank of Abu Dhabi for 12 million US dollars that ”the late Mr. Thomas Stone” deposited there before he died.

Michael Williams with a Nigerian business proposal

Gmail - hello - nigeria

You have to give this Nigerian scammer some respect for being so brief in his pitch. However, I don’t think he will get that many replies, wich of course is a good thing in itself! I kind of like his method of sending from an msn mail address and taking replies from Yahoo! mail too. [...]

Dr. J. C. Williams – House of Senate

The below House of Senate scam is almost as old as the concept of 419 mails. When you get a mail that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. When you get a mail written in all-caps, it’s probably written by someone who isn’t quite sure about the concept of capitalization, e.g. someone [...]

The Ivory Coast (Cote D’Ivoire) must be full of rather well-off orphans seeking financial guardians. At least if I would believe the number of e-mails sent to me with queries if I would like to act as their guardian and assist them in their quest to transfer their funds. In this e-mail the sum is [...]

Now why would a Burkina Faso based financial consultant want to contact me via an undisclosed-recipients e-mail list with an offer to safe-keep 11 million dollars for a client, and find it necessary to reveal the fact that the client is a widow?
