Million Dollar Help

Post by Lion »

Hey have any of you guys gotten emails from thieves in Africa (Cote D' Ivoire and Nigeria) asking for your help?  Something about they need your to help get 5 million dollars and if you help them they give you 1 or 2 mil.  These scam artists have sent me 2 emails so far, any of guys get them too.

On the last one I replied that I had reported them to the INTERPOL.

^^Pfft, I would ignore that crap they have. The computer is the best way to trick somebody with financial stuff. Thats one reason why I don't buy stuff like warrior figurines over the internet.

Hey well done man, it's just not the first time!!!
I'll do the same, I'll send the info to italian police and an italian tv show (Striscia la Notizia), unmaskering those people on tv!
What a people, those guys in Africa are really dying, and they think the dirty money... 1 or 2 mil back... well it's better I don't tell what I think... mods would immediately ban me!!! 8)

I got something simular this morning.  For the benifit of those that dont know what we're talking about, this is basically what you get.  If any members recognise the name when they see it in their inbox, you can report to your i.p as you delete it.  This helps to combat internet fraud.

From: Lillian Doudou
Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire
West Africa.

Attention Respectful

Greetings! This is the reason why i contacted you.
Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you.
I believe you are a respected personality, considering the fact of where i got your contact.I am Lillian Doudou,
I have a substantial capital I honourably Inherited from my late father Chief Emile Boga Doudou  who was minister of Interior and deals in Cocao and coffee platantion with  Gold, diamond Minining and Trading in bouake Northern District of Coted' Ivoire.But the Epmigo rebels killed Him on the  first day this poltical crises started on the September 19,2002 mutiny that equally lead to the death of former military junta Robert Guei.
This you can find on web page report on.CNN.com - Ivory Coast Rebel Uprising Spreads http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/africa/09/21/ivory

I want you to assist me for the clear this sum of eight million, Nine hundred thousand United State Dollars USD left in fixed/suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund I will give you the contact of the Bank where the Fund is, so that you can contact them immediately and discuss with them, hence I'm just 18 years old and do not know much about financial issues and handling case like this.
I will gladly give you some resonable percentage from the total sum for your assistance while I pray that you do not betray me at last, all i just require from you is your sincere interest in helping me and acting as a business partner to my late father so now you're standing in for me to make sure everything works out well and good.


I am honourably seeking your assistance in the
following ways:

(1) I will use it for investment purpose such as Music industries or hotel management .


(2) To provide a bank account into which this money
would be transferred to .

(3) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am
only 18years.

(4) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education and to secure a
resident permit in your country.


Please it is important you contact me immediately  for more clearification on the next step on this transaction.

Awaiting your immediate response and God bless you.

Yours Sincerely
Lillian doudou


What amazes me is that after all the things you read, warning you of these scams, theres still plenty of people out there that fall for it.  I make it a rule never to give my bank details to anyone (except for work because i want to get paid).

To be forwarned is to be forarmed.

Yeah Lion, T7 made an excellent work!!!!!!!! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

About the mails and how they get them, good question! Well I've read something about but I don't rem now where! So I found out this: http://www.wilsonweb.com/email/sugarman-subject-2.htm
I think they get them, primarily cause they are a sorta internet "geni" (it's not a compliment!!!), and all of us have to look out 4 where it's really opportune to insert our personal data and e-mails. Yeah, you know when someone signs in a forum... well I'm almost sure that those wimps are closely related to some of these "strange" forums!!!
Anyway every Police "Internet" Division knows them and how to stop them, and so it's always better report these events every time there's a new "million" message!!! 8)

Again, better I don't tell what I really think about them... [-X [-X [-X :^o :^o :^o [-X [-X [-X... enough?????????????
No, it's not enough... maybe their heads...  ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)...  :mrgreen: see ya guys! 8)

Right..If their dying then how can they give you money? I mean they should use that money for the children and themselves so they can have somethin' to eat and have a bigger and better roof over their heads! Even new clothes!!

It's funny, I just saw Dateline and they had a segment on this.  It's incredible how people actually fall for this crappola.  Chris Hansen has a blog on this as well.

Well, I know all of us already know what I'm saying... but today's world political "uncaring attitude" HELPS this bunch of wimps, and people ingenuity (and not only and always ingenuity) is sometime demoralizing...
... and I want to repeat... those guys r dying, day after day... so who really take care about them???
Among all Planet Earth problems, it should be the first... instead I think, that maybe not all the people really know it!!! Well sure, me included. :?

I saw the same thing. It's virtually impossible to prosecute any of them because it is all organized by huge groups of people (a gang if you will) with tons of people working for them sending out the e-mails from public library computers. Pretty amazing how much work goes into it.
