Well we've all had those e-mails from the Nigerian, offering to deposit a few million pounds into our account, with a commission for you troubles. I've had them by the truck load over the years and from all over the world
Today I have a new benefactor, in the Shape of Margaret Hodge MP. A former Labour Minister for Culture, Media and sport. ( And you may notice, the scammers identify her as Member of Parliament for Banking, instead of Barking :yh_rotfl )
It seems she has a few bob to channel through me (£6,300,000 to be precise) and I'm thinking of giving the Chancellor a ring to find out whether he knows if Margaret is holding on to all this cash. Did she have a whip round before the election or is it whats left over after the expenses debacle ? Maybe she should of e-mailed the Government instead of me
Needless to say Mags isnt going to benefit from this scam :wah:
Dear Friend,
GREETINGS FROM THE UK HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT
This might startle you a little as you might have seen or read about me
but really don’t know me in person. Well, I am Rt. Hon Margaret Hodge
MP. A British politician and Labour Party Member of Parliament for Banking.
I was the first Minister for Children appointed in a newly created post
with the Department for Education and Skills and presently Minister of State in
the Department for culture, Media and Sport under Her Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom.
I got your contact info via your country’s national directory and
intend introducing a project concerning charity in your country
and maybe neighbouring countries around you.
A few months ago, I was compelled to make an over estimation during a
budget and set aside the sum of Six Million Three Hundred Thousand Great
BritainPounds (6, 300,000.00GBP) with the sole intention of channeling it all into
charitywhich I am delegating you to executed on my behalf with complete supervision of
myAttorney as he will also be the one in charge of securing these funds into your
custody.
This transaction will result to you being paid a commission of 11% of
the investment capital and the balance, distributed to charity
organizations of your choice or reinvested and the net income, used for
rehabilitating charity organization in and around your country through you/your agency
annually for the period of five years or a little more. The last time I
orchestrated this sort of Grant, the individual in Australia succeeded
in successfully setting up three standard orphanage homes in less than a
year. I have never been so proud of such a noble individual. I hope we
wouldhave a reoccurrence in your case. If you are willing to execute this
HumanitarianProject, You must understand that I desire absolute confidentiality and professionalism
on this issue. For security reasons as regards my reputation, I will not
beable to communicate regularly with you; but my Attorney will take up the
processing on my behalf and get these funds processed and released to
you without any delay.
I don’t plan on benefiting anything from this project, but will
be absolutely fulfilled, if and only if you remain sincere to me on the
handling of this project with utmost sincerity and confidentiality; and
eventually utilize the funds for the purpose which I have explained to
you above. Kindly respond urgently if you are interested as the fund have
been tied down for too long, so I can equip you with the necessary details,
alongside my Attorney’s contact information, so as to commence the transaction
properly; on the other hand, if you are not, please let your intentions
be known or better still, Kindly relent from replying this email.
You could get personal info. on me via my
official website, but do not try contacting me via any personal
information you may lay your hands upon on the internet as almost all
my contact info are connected to the British House of Parliament data base
except the ones I personally sent to you; as I don’t want our effort
and my reputation, jeopardized.
Kindly send your response to this E-mail:

The terribly sad thing about this scam is that some poor suckers will respond, even though there has been so much publicity about stuff like this. How about forwarding it to the police ?
I think they have ways of tracing these back through to source.I'm a Saga-lout, growing old disgracefully

It's far less amusing when someone like Margaret Hodge gets tied to junk like that. Bad form.

If the perpetrators can be traced, it would be perfectly in order for Margaret Hodge to sue the buggers for defamation of character at the very least, surely? There could be a lot of people who may believe that rubbish, which would do her reputation no good at all ! I wasn't laughing at the involvement of Margaret Hodge in that nasty little scam, I was laughing at the recurrence of this type of scam. You would have thought that they would have thought of something different by now, wouldn't you?
