NICE TO MEET YOU

NATIONAL HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY CONTRACT REVIEW COMMITTEE (NHACRC)/
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE (PAC)

HELLO,

I am DR.DAVID COBBINA BRIGIDI, I am forty-five years old, married with Two
children. I entract your utmost reliance in this information's and the
transaction as whole.

I am the head of the National House of Assembly Contract Review
Committee(NHACRC), this is a committee set up by the National House of Assembly
members/senators,to review all the contracts awarded by the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Department of Petroleum Resources(D.P.R) ten
years ago (1994-2003)to foreign firms on Turn around/General maintenance of the
Refineries. This action is reached as a result of the collapse of all the
Refineries in our Country that has led to the importation of Fuel from Brazil,
this has resulted to persistent Fuel scarcity in my country.

In the course of our assignment I discovered some contract
misappropriation(OVER-INVOICE) among them is this particular contract that was
OVER-INVOICED of the tune $25 Million Dollars(Twenty-five Million U.S Dollars)
which I the head of this committee have resolved to use as a compensation for
this great assignment, since then I have been safeguarding this tune that has
been lying in the Bank unclaimed, awaiting the appropriate time to channel this
tune(amount) into an Account for my Utilization.

With the death of the one time Senate President CHIEF CHUBA OKADIGBO and the
recent change of the NNPC Group Managing Director CHIEF GAIUS OBASEKI these are
the two persons I foresee as threats to the arrangement. I now deem it
appropriate/necessary to transfer this tune into a UTILISATION foreign account,
but this arrangement will not be complete without a foreign utilization account
as this fund is lying in the Foreign Contract Awardees Department (FCAD). It is
in this regard you are contacted (partnership is required)as arrangement have
been concluded to present you as the Beneficiary of this fund,pending my arrival
there in your Country for sharing and utilization.

For effective actualization you are to forward to me the following
informations;-

A) Your name in full and brief information on your profile.

b) Your personal/confidential Fax numbers

c) Your Telephone/Mobile numbers

d) Your full contact /office address.

I have agreed to offer you 40% of the total sum for this essential role, 5% has
been ear-marked for settlement of any incidental expenses that may come up in
the course of this transaction. Please note that the hope, confidence bestowed
on you should not be over-emphasized, and you are also to assist me in investing
my share of 55% of the total sum while I am there in your country.

NOTE: EVERY INFORMATION SHOULD REMAIN A TOP SECRET AS I AM STILL IN ACTIVE
SERVICE HERE IN MY COUNTRY.

Please forward the anticipated information's by return mail as all arrangements
are in place for a hitch free transaction.You can also reach me
with my confidential email,david_cobbina_brigidi@mail.com


Regards,

DR.DR.DAVID COBBINA BRIGIDI,

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Showed up in the mail account I use for blog/ebay this morning.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

How sarcastic is your thread title?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Not at all!

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh good.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I get lots of spam, but this...this is something different.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

...if you say so?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm beyond confused.

The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

It's funny because people fall for this all the time.

stephen morris (stephen morris), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh well. Color me confused. maybe I'm just not au fait anough with the language of spam. has everyone on earth received this or something?

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

In a word, yes. Or variations on it. Most involve Nigeria, though.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

:(

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

There have been TONS of these 'Nigerian' spam messages floating around for a while, and especially in recent months with the huge spam uptick. Trust me, this is nothing new. I am happy it made you happy, though.

xpost etc.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

It's news to me. I'll get my coat. Goodbye.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Go walk on the beach and sell some cologne.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Clearly even spammers don't love me! :(

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

This news is at least 2 years old, it would seem:

mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread is like a Yakov Smirnoff joke.

The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

whoa xpost

mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

This is a huge scam that goes on all the time. They send you and official bank check (which is counterfeit, by the way), they have you deposit it into your bank account and then your supposed to wire the funds back to them minus your 40%, of course. They make a killing, and you get screwed, plus you look like a fool. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Kacee, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

and that's one to grow on.

*cue music*

mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Sounds like someone found out the hard way.

NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

credit where credit's due: Momus was the one who originally pointed me toward this endlessly entertaining site:

I've had literally hundreds of these - several a day at one time, and still a few every week.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

You should really do it, @d@m, don't listen to them. I've made thousands of dollars this way. IT WORKS.

kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I worked for a bank for 10 years. It's truly amazing what some people actually fall for.

Kacee, Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I got this one last week. (They called me Bretheren)...


Breathren,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former
Mrs Litoma mohammed alamin, now Mrs Elizabeth Alamin, a widow to Late
Sheik
Mohammed Alamin, I am 62years old, I am now a new Christian convert,
suffering
from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications,my
condition is
really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more
than six
months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late
husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our
marriage
we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood during the Gulf war.
My late
husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and
wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for more
than six
months and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide
part of this
wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in Africa,
America,
Europe and Asian Countries. This mission which will no doubt be
tasking had
made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I live!
presently. I selected your church after visiting the website for
this purpose
and prayed overit, I am willing to donate the sum of $2.000,000.00
Million US
Dollars to your Church/Ministry via you for the development of
evangelism and
also as aids for the less privileged around you. Please note that,
this fund is
lying in a Security Company in my country and the company has
branches,
therefore my lawyer will
file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the
name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the
intention of using this funds for personal use other than enhancement
of evangelism. Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me
as regards
my entire life and my health because I have come to find out since my
spiritual
birth lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's
life is
vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says the
Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. I await your urgent
reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Elizabeth Alamin.
4A George Close
Zaria, Nigeria.

dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

used to get one of those Nigerian-esque email scams in my box everyday.

uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to respond back saying I was a legume salesman and they would usually go "so does that mean you will help me"

uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I like it best when they are clever enough to work your name into it. I got a great one at work, through a role account, which went on about choosing me as a trustworthy individual, Mr Directory Corrections, which I really enjoyed.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

The Nigerian scam is quite old, and actually predates email. I think they used to type on light vellum airmail paper IN ALL CAPS.

By the way, I have 4.2 million of Mobutu SeSe Seko's loot... it was direct deposited in my account. YES, IT WORKS!!

andy, Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

"entract"?? pfft it even has fake WORDS in it
