adecore Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Waiting for me in my message box here Good Day. I am Mr Jorge Calderon, Auditing and Account Manager in BSIC BANK Cotonou, Benin Republic. I discovered the sum of fifteen million, five hundred thousand united state dollars ($15.5 Million USD) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank the fund has been lying in a suspense account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account owner late, Mr Salla Khat from Lebanese (a contractor with the government of Benin) his wife and their two kids (daughters) were involved in the December 28th 2006 Benin car crash along the ever busy Eco High Way. Therefore, upon this discovery i decided to take this ultimatum and make this business proposal to you as the fund will be release to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking rules he! re stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Benin cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. Therefore, I am soliciting for your assistance to come forward as the next of kin. We will share on the percentage 30% for you as the beneficiary respect of the provision of your account and service rendered, 60% will be for me and 10% for the less privileged and expenses. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup this deal. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate Arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law. Then immediately the money transferred to your account from this bank, I will proceed to your country for the sharing of the fund. You should confirm receipt of this mail by responding urgently with your telephone and fax numbers to enable us expedite further on this regards, Call me through my telephone: +229 979 406 63 or E-mail me at jorge.cal14@hotmail.com Yours faithful, Mr Jorge Calderon PhD Anyone else get this? Personally I dont even get out of bed for less than $20 million these days. Edited January 6, 2011 by adecore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hmmm. I have to say that I am not aware of a Benin Republic. Is Benin short for "Banana"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Maybe bananas are cultivated there...Benin is located in westafrica and such a mail is an attempt for a fraud! I m sure everybody knows such "money traps", better delete such a ****** and do not react. Otherwise YOU will lose a lot of your OWN money!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hmmm. I have to say that I am not aware of a Benin Republic.Is Benin short for "Banana"? The Republic of Benin is indeed a real place (even though the actual pm is fictitious) and is located in West Africa, near Nigeria. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have at home been getting cold calling from what sounds like an Indian, saying working with Msoft and have noted serious security issues on PC, they do it all through the run command and check for events etc, they then ask you to run http://www.teamviewer.com through the run command, to get you to install this and then remotely repair your PC.............. BEWARE this is a scam, to allow them access to your PC and all passwords bank accounts etc on it.............. I let them get to the Run and install point but didnt, so it wasted their time that they could be using to hook someone else and then told them what I thought of them and hung up.

William G Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I was told by Mr Jorge Calderon PhD, that the Visa acct# I was giving him had no$$$ in it to allow him to "Secure" the necessary funds to allow the transfer. I let Mr Jorge Calderon PhD, know that is why I needed the roughly 4.65 Million dollars. He then said that the Passport and ID I sent his way were Fake... Of course they were, Sheesh Does he think I was going to use a real one when He is asking me to identify myself as a relative of Mr Salla Khat? Sheesh I had the greatest fake ID Artist in the whole world make up that set of papers, Someone help me get the Bananas to Dan's MonKey... William G Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 That letter is obviously bogus. The Benin Republic recently merged with the neighboring Democratic Free State of Geris. The country is now known as Beningeris. Chief export is frozen confections. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sig Saur & Son Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Last year I won at least a billion dollars in the Canadian and UK Lotteries. Of course, each winning notification required me to wire, via Western Union, the sum of at least $5,000.00 in order to process my winnings. And yes, people fall for these every day. My wife works at a bank and a young lady came in for a $5,000.00 cash advance on here credit card. The lady was very excited because she had just been notified she had won the Canadian lottery. My wife tried and tried to convince her it was a scam but to no avail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
