Dear friend, I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. My name is Mr IDRIS MUSA the Bill and exchange manager, African Development bank(A.D.B) Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I Hope that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families. I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of US$30m dollars (Thirty million United States dollars) to your account. This money has been dormant for years in our Bank without claim. I want the bank to release the money to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer who died along with his supposed next of kin in an air crash some years ago. I don't want the money to go into government treasury as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why I am contacting you so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer. Please I would like you to keep this
proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested. Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have 30% of the above mentioned sum if you agree to handle this business with me. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Best Regards, Mr IDRIS MUSA.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
