Since then I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to searchthrough with his name which motivated me to contact you, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$ 8.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Citizen Bank of Lome-Togo(bank) where this huge amount were deposited.



The said Citizen Bank of Lome Togo has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.



Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.



Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I haveall necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.

Plenty more examples, just type Nigerian Scam ito Google.



There are some sites around that show you how to have fun with these people, sort of playing them along at their own game.

There are plenty of scams out there - heres one

My in-laws are 85 yrs old - mother in-law receives a call from her bank (she thought it was her bank). My husband was at the house when he hears her giving the caller her bank account number. He says, who was that? Mother says it was my bank - husband says, if was your bank they would have your account #.

He immediately runs her to her bank - opens a new account and only leaves $300.00 in the existing account due to outstanding checks written.

While they were at the bank opening that new account - the old account holding $300.00 was cleaned out..

this all happened within 15 minutes - I don't want to tell you the amount they almost got $$$..

They prey on the elderly.

I also get several of those emails in my inbox per day. I read some and delete them. It's strange to say the least.

If I don't know who sent the email, I delete it without opening it.
