Angry Lastest Email Scam

Well, I got an email this morning and guess what! I'm a " KAZILLIONAIRE". I just have to sent all my personal info and money to Mr. Yu Lee in China. Boy, I can now buy all the Cobras in the world!


I am Mr.Yu Lee, Bank Official of Macau Chinese bank, Macau Branch,Macau, China. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. An Oil consultant/contractor with the China Petroleum and Chemical Corp. made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$128,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Twenty eight Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder
and finally we discovered from his contract employers that the consultant died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless, and I beleive this might be due to the reasoning that he might have used a fictitous Identity to open the account.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the consultant did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$128,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to the deceased consultant so that the fruits of this old man\'s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you.We can recommend a Swiss bank where that can contact you if we send your email to them as regards opening an online account with them. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Bank Official guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Yu Lee

They only want to give you a lousy 12.8 million,you would probably have a better chance hitting the lottery and getting more money than with these clowns....

I got one similar a while back,I think they only wanted to give me around 5 mil,I figured it was not worth my time...........

Don't you just love these scams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always wanted to be adopted by some rich, dead kazillionaire so I could live in the style to which I would like to become accustomed!
If all of us sent him our information, do you think he would consider us his "extended family" and include all of us in his generous distribution of funds?
And since he wants to invest the rest of his funds in America, maybe we could entice him into investing in good solid organizations like....hmmmmm....... Shelby American? Kirkham? Of course, our "finders fee" would be a new car but that would be peanuts to a rich businessman who could invest in good solid American companies, right?

Don't you wish there was some way to scam these scammers?

Smile another 419 scam......

It's only another version of the Nigerian 419 scam that has been circulating for years. The scammers just keep re-editing it in the hopes of snaring more victims. The Secret Service has even opened an office in Lagos to work with
Nigerian authorities in catching the scammers, but they're an elusive bunch and there are probably hundreds of people trying their hand at advance-fee
scams. A few arrests here and there probably wouldn't make a dent in the
419 scamming industry.

Just got this one in my email:

Hello Dear,

I am contacting you believing you are a honest and trustworthy person.I believe you will not betray the confidence I am willing to repose in you, for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.

My name is paul charles,the only son of late Mr.Hassan Goudalé charles who was the chairman /President/CEO,Cacao-Cafe & Agro-Alimentary industries plc.SCAFECAO)"Bouake" and ex-owner of Polyclinic LA-MADONNE, of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.

You can find the story on this website:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm

On 19th of September 2002,a group of so called rebels took over the city of Bouake to over-throw the Government of Mr.Laurent Gbagbo the President of Cote d'Ivoire. On the 20th day morning at about 4:18am some fractions of the same group of rebels break into our house and killed our security guard and pass-through the gate entrance to the main building and took my father away to an un-known destination.

After about four hours later we found him (my father) at the road side, by then he had been totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in the pool of his own blood. From there, we rushed him to a near by hospital and hours later he sent for my mother. So he told her that he can not make it from the doctors diagnosis, he also told her that it was because he (my father) was not from the northern part of the country that he has been treated this way and also being a political activist. And again he said he is suspecting some of his business partners for conspiracy and this sort of brutality. He also told my mother that he deposited a huge amount of money in a Finance house in the Capital city of Senegal (Dakar) and also told her where he kept the whole documents concerning this deposit that is made for investment purpose in the western world.

That same day, he (my father) gave up the ghost. Then with the help of the French soldiers, we escaped to Senegal, where we are now. I am now contacting you believing you are honest and trustworthy to help us to receive the money in your account for investment, I and my mother has decided in compensating you 20%of the total amount for your assistance :
Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to us, so that I will simply introduce to the Finance house where the fund are being kept now for onward transfer.allternative mail paulcharles_3@yahoo.com

I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
Paul Charles .


Yeah, I'll get right on that Paul!

I offered to insert a team of operators into the Ivory Coast and get his money back for 10%... 1/2 of what he offered me... Nothing yet, but I'm still hoping...

Question

Sounds like some I have gotten from various places and people. How about Iraq. Anyone get one from there? We have troops there that are underpaid and would jump at the chance to help collect any huge amounts like that.
