I am MR Ben, the Auditor General of prime banks in Africa, during the course of our auditing discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner of this account is Mr. Allan P. Seaman, a foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Allan P. Seaman until his death was the manager Diamond safari [pty]. SA.

“I've gotten a few of those as well. Sent them right to the trash bin.”

“hehe.. ya.. i laughed.. would be kewl if it was true.. but hey.. we all know the answer to that.”

“I think the key?.. its from some guy at WEEDMAIL.. He's definitely high on something.”

“This is a scam that has been going on for years. It started in Nigeria and has spread since the authorities there started cracking down.
Believe it or not it started out as faxes sent to businesses, and some people got scammed out of their money. And some people travelled to Nigeria to try and find whoever ripped them off and never returned home.
The names are always different and there are even lots of scenarios.
If it sounds too good to be true ...”

“Mission impossible...now thanks to you we all know too much and will most likely be eliminated or is that laminated,maybe it's polyunsaturated. Anyway handle this agent Dawg,before anyone else gets involved.”

“wolfsister: assignment taken. will track down perpetrator immediately and hunt to kill.”

“TownDawg - It's obvious, you're on everyone's list.”

“Good man-er I mean Good Dawg.”

“:)... heya wolfie.. when am I gonna get you down to TN again?”

“No man will ever get me down! Do you hear me!?.......I was at South Fork last fall lousey fishing-excellent rock overhangs. Going to Wasatch Mnts. this Aug. You got good fish where you live?”

“wolfie.. my best friend is a fishing guide.. email me.. we can get off the board with this one.”

“Is that like a spirit guide? I think that's against my religion.”

“did you give him your bank account number? if not i beat you to it. i already sent him mine. now i just sit back and wait for my money, right?”

“lol... naw.. i hate to tell ya.. but if u gave him your bank account.. you just overdrew.”

“This Ben guy used to be in the rice business, big time. Claimed to have the best white rice in a box. Had to slip the country when the rice cartel got too close. Now he's trying to get himself and his millions back into the US. Can't you help him out, Town Dawg?”

“See TD more and more inocent people are being dragged into this thing...one second we're fishing next minute rice.”

“In New Orleans about 10 years ago lawyers were frequent targets for this scam. A fax from Nigeria would arrive in their office, and a surprisingly large number fell for it and lost lots of money.

I guess a sucker is born every day.”

“Rice? You sure it wasn't Reverend Moon rounding up investors for the Washington Post?

Once he got out of jail, that is...”

“I keep getting emails saying I won 11 million dollars...they need my confirmation.

Wonder if there's any fees before they send me MY money.”
