ReccePhreak Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I just got this OBVIOUSLY BOGUS email today. They're getting more "creative" in their bogus stories. Larry Attn: Consignment Box Owner. Sorry for this unexpected message to you. I am Mr. Brandon Hummel, a Security Manager at the Dayton International Airport, Dayton Ohio, USA. During a recent routine check at all Security/Storage Units at the airport, I discovered an abandoned shipment in your name coming from Nigeria which was on Transit to your city but was intercepted by the Dayton International Airport Security for lack of proper clearance papers as the consignment was scanned and discovered to contain valuable cash between US$4.5Million US Dollars in estimation that was not properly declared to the authorities since the tags on the consignment showed the item contains Personal Belongings/ Family Treasures which is not in regulations to the delivery requirements by The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) so in this regards, the consignment was placed on hold until proper clearances are provided by a reliable Government source. The details on the consignment are tagged as:< /DIV> Type: SUITCASE Wheels: 4 wheels Handles: Trolley handle with top & side handles Approximate Dimensions: Height: 3.20 ft, Width: 2.50 ft, Depth: 1.90 ft.

I've never actually heard of, or read of, a person being arrested for money laundering because they fell for the scheme. you better believe they do - I have spoken to many people who have. In the real world, I am a Fraud Investigator for a bank and one of the many things I do is interview people who have received money from the people who fall victim to these types of scams. I have certainly seen some interesting ones out there - the best and most novel one was Major Tunde of the Nigerian Space Center who went up into space during the 80's on a Russian Space ship and had to stay up there when the Russians ran out of room to bring him back to Earth. They are still paying him whilst he is up there. Or the new girlfriend who is bringing 15million in gold bullion from Ghana with her to stay with your help Or from another new girlfriend's newly deceased Father who\'s left a 20 million inheritance and needs your help to pay the taxes to get it released. The list is long and sometimes hugely entertaining, whilst other times just so preposterous you can't imagine anyone falling for it. But alas, there are and it isn't right to label them stupid - even though that's what you may think. Not everyone has the knowledge or where with all to work out when they are being scammed. Some just out right refuse to believe it and will go to jail to protect the scammer. A lady my boss once spoke to went so far as to travel to South Africa to meet her "husband" and ended up dead for it - despite her Family, friends, us and even the AFP (Australian Federal Police) telling her not to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't tell me those are a fraud. What I like are the e-mails from hot, young women seeking to meet me, and then at the same time getting e-mails about my need for cheap Viagra or Cialis. Obviously the first group of spammers don't know the second group of spammers. If you put together a composite image of me from the spam and phishing e-mails I get, I'm a trustworthy man besieged by Africans to help them distribute great wealth, and hot/young women are after me (probably because they heard of me helping distribute great wealth), despite my E.D. problem for which I need two medicines. Also I have had e-mail offers to help me enlarge a certain body part. I wonder how those people knew... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Mrs. Oliji Mbane Ameke. Secretary. I confess to a degree of fascination with this particular version of this scam. I'm an unashamed fan/student of the Biafran conflict of 1967-1970, also known as the Nigerian civil war & the republic of Benin was a child of that conflict. It lasted all of a week or two after Biafran forces had invaded the Central region of Nigeria to their West, caused great consternation among the Nigerian forces before inexplicably pausing & then retiring to the Biafran borders. The whole Biafran conflict arose from the abilities of the Ibo (Igbo) people who were the main ethnic group East of the River Niger as it made its way to the coast in Nigeria, & their capacity for adaptabilty & rersourcefulness which saw them taking a large role in the Nigerian civil service including areas other than their own at the cause of great resentment among other ethnic groups in Nigeria. Without wishing to dwell more on that unfortunate conflict, I've begun to wonder which part of Nigeria produced these scams, part of me wonders if it is the one time peoples of Biafra using their undoubtable ability to organise?
