Looks like im goting to be rich

Post by rapport25 »

Found this rather dodgy e mail in my inbox this morning. I think i will be booking a holiday and placing an order for a few super cars :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dear Sir, I am Mr. Robert Schock, I work with the Chartered National Bank as an accountofficer in the Treasury/Credit Control Unit. I was the accounting officer of anational of your country, who died with his wife and their only son wereinvolved in car disaster. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last nameover the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. Ihave contacted you to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital valued at£12,540,000.00 Million Pounds left behind by my client before they getconfiscated or declared unserviceable by the share holders of this Bank, sothat they can share his funds as dividends amongst themselves. The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the accountconfiscated within the next fourteen official working days. Because as at thetime of his demise I was his accounting officer, but have since been promotedto the position of Treasury/Credit Control Unit, ever since I have beenunsuccessful in locating the relatives for sometime now, I seek your consent topresent you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same lastnames, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, onreceipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss modalities fortransfer. As soon as I receive an acknowledgment of your acceptance, I will furnish youwith the necessary modalities of the transaction. I assure you that thistransaction is 100% risk free, and as soon as we succeed in getting this fundsto your account, The money will be shared on a 50, 50 basis............... Iguarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that willprotect you from any breach of the law. I am waiting to hear from you soon. Best regards, Robert Schock

Oh you jammy barsteward! "£12,540,000.00 Million Pounds" is a hell of a lot of money. I wish some random made up bloke with the same surname as me "who died with his wife and their only son wereinvolved in car disaster" would hurry up and die so that I too can benefit from such an opportunity :evil: :roll:

I reckon you should play along a bit, offer to meet him to discuss term etc, could be a laugh! :lol: :wink:

This was the reply. What do people think i should do, reply? Or am i giving to much information about myself by replying?

Thank you very much for your response.

Referring to my previous e-mail, I have been searching for the relatives of my late client, Mr. Alan Baker who has an account with us. Our search all these years was unsuccessful and so, I decided to contact you essentially because of the piece of evidence that you share the same last name as my deceased client regardless of the fact that you are a direct or indirect relative. My main interest which is also my objective is to seek your co-operation and consent so that I can present you legally as the next of kin to my client.

My status as an insider in this bank and my position as the account officer guarantee this claim because I have information of my client that will be used to prepare any relevant legal documentation for claim. My department is also responsible to payout the proceeds to you after your claim has been processed.

This project is totally legal and risk free as every step will be done according to the bank’s policies and laws of guiding this matter.

BENEFITS: The benefit from this project (12,540,000.00 Million Pounds) after paid to you; I propose 50% for me and 50% for you expenses incured shall also
be shared equally to achieve our goal. If you think this isn't right, please advice with your reasons.

If still interested, please send me the below information about you to enable me prepare an application letter that you need to apply for claim now.

Full Names:
Contact Address:
Age:
Occupation:
Position:
Tel:
Fax:

Thanks you,

Robert Schock

Oh no, you don't send any personal information except your name. If you really need anything else make it up. The choice is your mate, you can either just leave it / tell him to fek off, or you can just keep stringing him along. Something like....

"Dear Friend, please excuse me but I don't like to send my personal information over the internet, there are too many people in this world who cannot be trusted. I'd hate for our business to be interrupted by an external party. It would be much better if we could meet to discuss the arrangement and exchange all necessary information. Please let me know when you will next be in the UK on business and we can set up a meeting."

Then you arrange to meet at a place that's covered by a live webcam and sit at home watching and laughing your tits off while this muppet waits for you. :lol:

There's a whole website dedicated to this stuff, I'll see if I can find it....

My god, there's loads of websites!

This is the one I was thinking of. Read throught the first story, scammer caught on webcam. He actually gets the scammer to show up to the meeting place twice :P It's an absolute gem!

I also found this site, and a whole forum dedicated to the art of "scambaiting". Sounds like a great laugh to me! :lol:

Right, having read a bit more about this scambaiting lark I'd recommend letting this one get away. The reason is that he has your real personal email address, so already knows your real name. It seems that the people who like to play at scambaiting set up a completely false identity with an internet email account (hotmail or whatever).

I'm also not sure about the ability to track IP addresses. Maybe our resident IT experts could help us out here, is it possible to trace where an email was sent from back to the physical address? The last thing you want is an angry scammer on your doorstep!

Thanks dairees, i think i might just leave it. One of his e mails is a denmark one and the last email he sent me was a united kingdom one. I know its a scam when all said and done and from what i have red they will be asking for money off myself very soon. I have even red that some people get cheques sent to themselves they clear but a few days later they bounce which i found strange! I thought cleared funds in your account could not bounce. Then you are held to all kinds of criminal charges apparently.
