Default Look at this email I got!

WTF! This is like Mr. Deeds This is an email I just recieved.


RE (TRANSFER OF 48,223,000.00 USD MILLION) .

I Am Mr.Robert James,the operational manager in account management section
in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in
South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who
perished on EGYPTIAN Boeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole
passengers on board.

He opened an account in this bank and died without a written or oral WILL
attached to the account. Since his death, I personally watched to see the
next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning
it. The account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the
manager of his company here in South Africa.

The amount involved is 48,223,000.00 USD. We will start the first transfer
with $8,000,000. Upon conclusion without any disappointment from your side,
we shall re-apply for the transfer of the balance.

However, I want you to act as the next of kin to the deceased by providing
your bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate
investment on any viable project. At the conclusion, 65% of the fund will be
for me. 20% for you, 10% for charity both in Africa and in your country and
the remaining 5% will be set aside for expenses both parties might incure
during the transferprocess.

Kindly e-mail, fax or call me as soon as you receives this email. Also
include your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication.

Have a nice day.
Mr.Robert James,

Tel:+874-76-3648313,
Fax:+874-76-3648315

This guy is a fraud... I bet he sent this email to 48 million people and with a debit of .10 cents per bank account he expects to tap a couple mil in funds and then hide the funds off shore.

This mothr fukr, should know it's already been done. All this sh!t!

I get those emails all the time --- and they're from different people. Sometimes women with sick children, sometimes husbands who have a large settlement from their husbands, it's all the same. Just a fraud and wanting to get your personal ID for scamming/$$$ purposes.

Yup, a gov. grant or other government aid should be sufficient enough.

Could be some IT crackhead ?

Apparently, enough people fall for it that they are still doing it.
