a fantastic offer in my email today...cant believe these guys are still going in the credit crunch

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am Daryl Neville, a private consultant for very eminent personnel in the Asian and Middle East region. These personnel have appointed me to source on their behalf a credible foreigner with whom they can jointly entrust a reasonable amount of money, which will be channeled into a highly lucrative business venture. They have $100million (One hundred million United States dollars) transferred to Europe. They request strict confidentiality due to their public nature, they prefer to be anonymous hence I have been given the mandate to source for some one of high business experience with very good reputation.

 

This is the proposal in summary:

 

1. My client(s) are top politicians/government officials in the Asian and Middle East region they want the funds to be invested through a well-established businessman abroad who can front for them without disclosing their true identity.

2. All that is required is your willingness to invest this money for them in a highly lucrative business venture under strict profitable monitoring.

3. A power of attorney will be given to you to manage these funds on their behalf.

4. You will be awarded as compensation a certain percentage from the proceeds of the investment, which is still negotiable.

 

If you are interested, and you have the capacity to handle such huge amount of money kindly indicate by replying immediately. So that we may proceed by reaching a valid agreement that will be binding to all the parties to this transaction.

 

Respectfully,

Daryl Neville

he is aware of that :)

 

however it was very nice of you to mention that anyway because it is actually very surprising how many people fall for these. I work for local government and i get 20 of these a day.... usually they have worse spelling or pronounciation however this one looks to be done very well.

 

we should start a thread with all the emails that we recieve like this so other people are aware (members) i would start but i would have hundreds in no time.

 

what do you think? would it use too much bandwidth on these servers?

i ask because there are sights on the net that have the same thing that i am proposing to the forum and they seem to be very effective for the ...... not so savvy.

 

:)

Unfortunately I've got back to them so next week I'll be rich :p

Yes, I was surprised with the spelling and pronounciation, times have changed.

However, there are plenty of people getting sucked into these scams especially in these dire times.

 

very good ck300z, we shall have to keep that post ongoing for the benefit of others.

 

The ones i often get are the ones that take you to a bank website. Most of the time you can notice the link at the top is a server address even though they claim to be halifax etc.

 

these copy the front pages of the banks sites to look more realistic. they take your online ID and password (if you fill it out) and then send you to the real website.

 

Not only will they have your details but after dumping you to the real bank site you are left wondering if you logged in or not.

 

what i do (only for a laugh) is where it asks for a accoutn number and password i get a bit rude...

 

example:

account number: asshole (even though it is meant to be number)

Password: your a c**t

 

and hey presto..... you have logged in........

 

this goes to show how fake these are aswell, no harm in trying these but only if yuo have top security as your IP can actually get traced.... firewall will protect you there.

 

all in all i would avoid that unless you are annoyed or fancy trying something random.

 

the scam is a very old one from what i have learnt... i have wikipedia'd the scam and even though it predates computers it has always been effective.

 

here is the link below

and for those who get email scams when it comes to selling your cars (i got these emails when i sold my BMW) look at the link below

a few businessmen who were looking to make a deal fell for this and severel men have flown over to africa or wherever the scammer is and are held ransom for money.
