  • They've moved from Nigeria to Libya (long)

    But the Spam still tastes the same!

    (sent to me today)

    FROM: HON. LUDEWYK M. BASSON (BA.LLB)


    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am Advocate Ludewyk M. Basson of the above law firm and the legal adviser to
    Late Abu Bakr Younus Jabr, a national of Libya who was the chief of Late
    Gaddafi’s armed forces hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. There is
    absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of
    this letter coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have taken
    possession of the internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making
    it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate business class persons to get
    attention and recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be
    properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you as a person
    based on great fidelity and trust. Your contact is by a courtesy of my good
    friend who was a member of South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) in
    Johannesburg.

    On October 20, 2011 my client, was killed by Libyan revolutionary fighters
    opposing Gaddafi’s regime in Sirte, I now decided to inform you, hence I
    contacted you. I have send you this letter to assist in repatriating the money
    left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
    by the finance institution, where the deceased had an account valued at about
    US$28,000.000 (Twenty Eight Million United States Dollars Only) the finance
    institution has issued me a notice to provide the beneficiary or the next of kin
    or have the account confiscated. The amount in question was personally deposited
    by me with a different name as the depositor as instructed by my late client due
    to the fact that the fund was meant for purchase of arms in South Africa because
    of the war between the government forces and the rebels in Libya then.

    I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the fund so that the
    proceeds of this account valued at US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million,
    United States Dollars Only) can be transferred into your designated account.
    Meanwhile, you will be required here in (South Africa) for brief discussion and
    to endorse your signature on some of the documents as the next of kin to the
    fund once the fund has been approved by the finance institution for
    withdrawal/transfer. Then I shall proceed down to your country with you to
    confirm the net amount in your account and to invest my share of the money if
    you permit me. If you can’t travel to South Africa I will let you know the next
    step to take.

    I shall revalidate and notarize all the necessary legal documents that can be
    used to back up any claim that the finance institution may need as prove of
    deposit, this is a risk (100%) free transaction because the banker who is in
    charge of account section is involved. I will let you know the benefiting
    conditions of your help in my next message when I receive your positive
    response. I guarantee you this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
    that will protect you from any breach of the law. Kindly call me on my phone
    number or send a fax message or email. Please keep this transaction confidential
    for security reasons. I need your strong assurance and confidentiality.


    Best regards,

    HON Ludewyk M. Basson.

      Well, at least he put more effort in his letter than the one I got claiming to be from "Mr. Peter Pan."

          Wish I had gotten it too ... I actually lived in Libya for the first 4 years of Gadaffi's reign, so I know a bit about the history. :-D

              Nah, it is the run up to Christmas, and I still have 5 presents to finish making. But wouldn't it be hysterical to see the backpedaling to respond with a request for an appointment as one is currently in Jo'burg ... and ready to be interviewed!

                No, you say you plan to be in X city 200 miles away by bus on business, and can he meet you there? Though this takes some doing and promise of money, 419 lads don't move unless there are big sums at stake; they are extremely lazy.

                  No, going by they OP, you are supposed to meet up in a bank to answer questions by the bank manager, he is trying to get you to give him all your banking information, and a fee to get a power of atty or equivalent done ... which by being in Jo'burg you screw him over because you can go directly to the bank in question for a sit down with the manager, and screw him out of his access to your information, and the fee for the paperwork.

                  It is just like the jackass who spammed me with one of my alternate email accounts with the tale of how I got mugged in London and need me to send myself a western union draft ... as soon as I sent my old european phone number [it has 10E on it so if it gets used, no big deal, it is an old card I plan on changing out next time I am in Germany anyway] and mention that I will be back in London 2 days later than I got the email and will be at my usual hotel, we can meet up there. Oddly enough, I got reemailed mentioning that Mom sent me the money to get home Which is a good trick as she was fairly incapacitated with her alzheimers and has absolutely no control over any sort of money unless it was from under the sofa cushions.

                    Somewhere, I might still have the text dump of the scammer who tried the same basic thing on me, at my work email. I accused him of trying to use me to break the law, of not being who he said he was, of faking the passport scan that he emailed me to try to prove who he was. I called him out on referring to me as "Mr." and "friend." The name he gave me changed from given name to surname and back again. After the 3rd or 4th go round, I said something to the effect of "I'm amazed you're still emailing me after I outright accused you of being a scammer." He didn't give up until I stopped responding to his emails.
                    "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                      Ok..we know this is as fake as a $7 bill. But, just assume for a moment that it is legit. There is a big huge red flag blaring out, might as well have one of those horns from The Mask (with Jim Carrey (spelling) ). This money was to be used for illegal arms trading? Yeah.. not going to touch that with a 1000 mile pole thanks.
