How can he be smart enough to either invest enough or earn $150k.... but then fall for a 413 scam?

Why would some folks think that these things are real? I mean really, they are always looking for the "next of kin" and you're supposedly it? I mean, I know MOST if not all of my family and I don't think that any of these people would be my "relatives." It's a shame that foks get suckered into these basic con games. One say someone is going to do this deal and end up getting shot.

My money is already deposited!!!

Hello My Dear,
After waiting and no response was heard, I deposited and also paid for the delivery fee of your $1.5,000 000.00 Million US Dollars, as consignment box to FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY in Lagos-Nigeria because I have travelled to London on a visit you can reach me on +447045765505. I am on a visit to a friend and will not come back till Dec, 2009. I will want you to contact the FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY to know when they will be delivering your consignment. I have paid for the delivery charges and also the insurance fee,the only fee you will have to pay them is the monthly demurrage fee which they would pay the security department that are guarding your consignment since the date of deposit. But if you will be very fast in contacting them, you will be charged only one month demurrage fee which will cost only $170 USD. o i urge you to contact them as soon as you receive this email.

CONTACT: Dr. Charles OkoyeMANAGER,FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY.E-mail: drcharlsokoye@gmail.com

Try to contact him as soon as possible to avoid increase in demurrage fee. I gave them your delivery address but you have to reconfirm it to them again to avoid any mistakes in the delivery of your fund. Reconfirm below information to the company.
Your Full Name-----------------------
Your Address-------------------------
Home Telephone-----------------------
Office Telephone---------------------

Note: You are to contact the FEDERAL INLAND SECURITY COMPANY MANAGER via this email:-- (drcharlsokoye@gmail.com) Finally indicate this code: GM0081 when contacting them, it will identify that you are the owner of the $1.500.000.00 consignment trunk box deposited in the company. Do let me know as soon as you receive your consignment and take a proper account of the content, and see that it contains $1.500.000.00

Regards,

Mr. Paul A.Rogers.

I LOVE how everyone is using gmail or hotmail too! Totally legit!

what really got to me is that simple logic would've prevented people from being defrauded. Corporations, governments, law firms, will not be using free email services to send their official messages. Also, look at the caps being used people.

Hello Friend,

I hope my letter meets you in good health. I'm Kemal, an exchange employee with a security firm here in Istanbul-Turkey. I've contacted you due to your location as compared with one of our late Client's Assignment of Lien holder / Beneficiary.

I wish to humbly request your help in protecting the client's interests and benefits he left with the firm before it is declared unserviceable and foreclosed on or before 25th of May 2009. My intention is to kindly seek your consent and perhaps to present you as the Grantee/Legal Lien Holder to the depositor so that the deposits can be secured and transferred to any safe location we agree upon. All legal documents to back up this process will be provided to you for official Notary purpose at your local Notary Office.

Please note that all procedures will be executed under legitimate process that will protect us from any breach of the local and international law.

I will further disclose more of the information to you on receipt of your positive response indicating your sincere interest.

Sincerely Yours

Kemal A

Seems like they're getting better . . . thought the dude send it through gmail. No respecting security firm will send this kind of email using gmail.
