    scam e-mail

     



    Wow I just got this e-mail, I think someone thinks I am an idiot. And a whole 5% for my trouble. I would not even consider it for real for under 50%. I left thier e-mail at bottom in case anyone else wants a piece of this action. You can never have too many friends in prison. ! P.S. I did not click on the links in ad and advise no one else to either.


    Project Placement
    Firstly I must introduce myself as Senor.Karen Smith, a legal representative to Sir. Julin Muoz Palomo, the former Lord Mayor of Marbella in the Andalucia region of Spain. Although he's presently standing trial for corruption, embezzlement of state funds and sales of states properties amounting to 80 million euro. Be advised to visit the following links to be better acquainted with Sir. Julin Muoz Palomo current situation and personality.

    http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/1426...unoz/marbella/
    In the interim, he`s being probed for misappropriation of state fund. And to this end, 19, 000 000.00 Euro (Nineteen Million Euro) part money from the misappropriated state fund, was lodged into a private /descrete financial outfit here in EUROPE. Already he had notified me to recruit a foreign corporate body/individual under whose identity the funds will be transferred out of Europe. For your benefit of doubt, the terms are to re-profile the entire identity of the funds under your ownership, corporate or individual.
    Truely I will prefer an experienced business personel/company body that can profitably invest thes funds productively outside the continent of Europe. Also I would like you to give this project utmost confidential approach.
    Most importantly, you will be required to:
    [1]. Act as the original beneficiary of the funds.
    [2]. Receive the funds into a business/private bank account.
    [3]. Invest/Manage the funds outside EUROPE.
    Sir. Julin Muoz Palomo will be willing to pay 5% for your role as the beneficiary partner to the funds. Also, a subsequent 10% "Management Commission" will be paid for your advised investment services. A further 5% will be used to write off any expenses incurred in the course of transferring the principal sum.
    If you prefer to be re-contacted for more express information, please send us your:
    [1] Full Names:
    [2] Contact address:
    [3] Direct Telephone No:
    I awaits your response.
    My regards,
    Senor Karen Smith

    Sounds like B.S., looks like B.S., so it MUST BEEEEEEEEEE. Ya I get something close to that about once a month. About some rich dude dieing in South Africa and no one to get his brick, etc, etc......I just e-mail back the B.S. line. The crap is starting to die out. One side note, interesting into how creative some fools get. Wonder how much they have gotten away with? That is till someone hunts them down????

    A new twist on the Nigerian prince 419 scam. Heres the Snopes info on it: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp

    Actually, instead of spending your money via international postage or bank fees, you can just email your bank account info to me and I'll handle your problems

    The song "A Fool And His Money"

    It really is not that funny, then again. The number of people that fall pray to this is surprising. I would be willing to start a search party, however I need some capital to bribe the officals...................

    I say, open a new account, and give them all your info (ficticious name of course). Let them put the funds in there and then close out the account after they have been verified! Then share it with all of us of course!

    This scam has been goin' on for years. They get you involved, then ask for closing cost fees, yada, yada, yada. Just another way to separate you from your stash.
