Dear Friend,
This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am Sgt. Alan Thyler, an american soldier, currently serving in the third infantry division in Iraq. I am currently in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam Husein and the total cash is 25million USD. As I write this letter to you, this box is here with me in cash as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to Kuwait. You do not have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe. I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this box for us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my collegues. Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts. We have limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately. Moving the funds out of here is not going to be much of a problem as arrangeme nts are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box gets to you, you can keep it in a safe place until our arrival. I have to stop here for now , please reply me through this email address for security reasons: sgt_alanthyler@yahoo.com.hk as your response will determine our subsequent corresspondence. Please do not expose us and for security reasons.
In God we trust,
Sgt. Alan Thyler

I really want to know where he found a Net connection out in the desert.
Edit: Oh, I missed the part where he had already smuggled it to Kuwait with him on his break. Right.

Man, some people will try anything... lol

I remember reading where someone scammed the scammers stating that they'd agreed to it however they needed $20 in postage and received the postage from the scammers. Thus scamming the scammers. *lol*

They say everything comes in threes!!!!

FROM THE OFFICE OF MR. CHRIS MBOMA

ATTN: CEO

Good day!!

I can't imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden business letter from a remote country in far away South Africa and probably from some one you have not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do not need to be of blood relatives before we can establish cordial/business relationship.

Having said this, I think it is very important at this juncture to introduce myself to you and also disclose to you, how I came in contact with your email address/profile. My name is. Mr. CHRIS MBOMA I am the district (Foreign operations) manager of commercial bank here in South Africa.

I got your email address/profile from the Internet when I was in search for reliable and competent person to handle this matter for our future benefits. So it is my pleasure to solicit your assistance in a very confidential business proposal. I am contacting you because I do not want to transact the business with anybody who is known to any staff of this bank or anybody around here to avoid any possible blackmail or leakage at the end of the transaction.

HERE IS THE PROPOSAL:

There is an account in this bank, which was opened in 1982 by one Mr. Marc Angers, an Australian National, who worked with South Africa Department of Mining & Natural Resources and since 1990 nobody has operated on this account. I had a very careful study of the account files through which I carried an extensive investigation about the holder of the said account and found out that Mr. Marc Angers suddenly died in a plane crash in 1990 thereby abandoning the account, having been fictitious regards the information submitted to this bank at the time of opening the account.

The account at this moment has no beneficiary since the name Mr. Marc filled, as his next of kin has no contact information in the form he submitted to the bank. I have secretly removed all the relevant files to the account from the dormant section so that bank auditors will not verify the abandoned money and refer it to Federal Treasury via South Africa reserve bank̢۪. Credit balance of the said account is US$9 Million (Nine million, United States Dollars)

My Dear Friend, the deal here is that the money in this account will be approved and remitted to any foreigner who shows up as next of kin to Mr. Marc provided such person has correct information to the account. I have such needed information and will hand it over to you as soon as we commence the transaction. I will source all necessary documents and forward them to you for direct submission to the bank. With my position as the foreign operations manager, we will quietly remove this money from the bank without hitches.

I don't have any problem in regularizing all necessary documents and transferring of the credit balance of the said account to your yet to nominated overseas bank account, but the problem is sincerity and trust. I have spent months in trying to get an overseas reliable contact. It is worthy to note that people are unreliable these days and even derive joy in telling lies.

On this ground I request your unreserved but sincere cooperation devoid of greed in carrying out this transaction so that no one amongst both of us shall defraud each other at the end. I am prepared to split the fund at 60%---40% for you, provided that mine (60%) will be intact at the end. Please get back to me via the above email account as a matter of urgency or call me on my private telephone line (+27-73-73-60--544) or my private email .mr.chris_mboma2007@yahoo.com
awaits your cooperation.
Best regards,

Mr. CHRIS MBOMA

This brings back memories. I joined a 419 scam baiters site a couple of years ago (there is a least one bait still ongoing).

The Princess and the Pantomime Horse was my first major bait and the link documents the first of the 2 month bait (it got really weird). After documenting 6 weeks of communication I decided it was better to 'do' the scam bait than document it.(btw, this was a challenge to include a pantomime horse in the bait - some of the phone calls were hillarious)

*warning*
I did about 6 months of serious baiting before moving onto bank killing - don't ever try it before learning the art of invisibility! (there are many Western connections with 419'ers)

*edited to say*
Sorry, lookks you guys have exeeded the geocities limit, might be an idea to try the link tomorrow (its worth it)
