Nigerian Prince Email

This just hit my inbox. As far as Nigerian prince emails go, I think this is pretty weak. The spelling and grammar are great relative to the benchmark, but that backstory... I don't know how they could think they're fooling any south Florida retirees with that sh*t. Points for using gmail though. Also, congrats Benson on hitting GM!!

"Greetings,

My Name is Benson Ebo, I work with a financial Security company located in Lome Togo , and we have in our vault 75kg of gold deposited by Former Prime Minister of Libya Colonel Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi personal assistant. Three months ago I was promoted to the position of general manager and our company transferred me to our newly opened office in Ghana .

Now I have within my authority the ability of re-profiling deposit information of the consignment to be and released to you if you are willing to partner with me.

Please send me an email in confirmation of your receipt of this Email [email protected]

I look forward to your favorable reply.

Sincerely Yours
Mr. Benson Ebo"

 

Email him back and tell him you need $50K in cash, upfront, to pay for penalty fees related to your sale of assets before you can send him the money. :)

I think the kind of people who fall for this are usually 363 club members. You know, 'em Savings and Loans guys who Michael Lewis was talking about in Liar's Poker.
