Ahmed Al Asiri wants me to be his partner in crime

2011-10-20 Av Kommentera

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.

Dr. J. C. Williams – House of Senate

2008-12-23 Av Kommentera

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 [...]

Major Paul Bruces and Lt. Col. Ralph Harland wants to smuggle out funds

2007-09-25 Av Kommentera

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 [...]

Two mails from the Central Bank of Nigeria

2007-09-24 Av 197 Comments

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.

 This is such an inbelievable 419 scam that I don’t quite know where to begin. I consists of a wrongly addressed mail, where we (the potential victims of the scam), are supposed to believe that we have the opportunity to claim money from a fund in Nigeria. Nigeria being one of the most poverty stricken [...]
