FROM

BARRISTER JOHNSON OLIVER, (ESQ)

Oliver & SONS CHAMBERS

(SOLICITORS & SENIOR ADVOCATE)

23, WESTPOINT AVE

P. O BOX 7687

MALAGA- SPAIN.


Dear Harlow,

How are you today and your family hope fine,i know you will be
very

suprise to recieve This mail but by the time you go through it, you will
not be suprise again.

I am barrister Johnson oilver,the president of Oliver & sons chambers here

in malaga-spain, an adviser to governments establishment, and a personal

lawyer to late Mr Jones Harlow , an America bussinessman who died two years

ago on ghastly motor accident on his way to madrid the capital city of Spain
on official duty.

It was three weeks from today that I received a call from the security company
where he kept some money,

notifying me that, he deposited a sum of fifteen million, United State
Dollars($15.000.000.00m)

in their security company, they went on to say that I

was contacted base on information they got from some documents that back-up

the depositions in which my name was mention as his personal Lawyer,

the security company advices me to provide them with the name of the next
of kin for

the money because for the past two years and some months now, the money
has been with the security company

without anybody coming forth for it. After so many attempt I made to get
in touch

with the family and relations from U.S.A failed, I decided to

contact you because of the ultimatum of twenty one days from now and pressure

from security company which says that if I failed to foward them with the
name of the

next of kin, the money deposited will be forfieted finally or redirect to
the government

treasury as unclaimed fund,as consistituted in the federal laws of
banking,security
company

and other financial institutions here in spain, for this reason your sincere
help is needed.

On my own part as the lawyer, I will facilitate in getting all the

necessary documents from the ministry of justice here in spain that will

prove the Legality of this money, when it is due to be transfer into your

nominate account. I am proposing 30 percent of this money to you and 5 percent

for any auxillary expencese from the security firm transfer charges.

I am anxiously expecting your urgent response.for urgent process i will
like to have your

personal phone number

fax number

your full name

and your occupation.

Thanks may God blessed you?


Best regard

(BARRISTER JOHNSON OLIVER ESQ )

FOR:Oliver & SONS CHAMBERS

Don't bother responding, Tommie. I have already made an agreement with Mr. Oliver Esq. and I am expecting my cash soon.

Does anyone know of a 46 Skater that I can buy with my windfall? Money should not be a problem based on what Mr. Oliver says in his correspondence.

Propnut, I believe that National Marine will be happy to separate you from your new-found wealth.

* Side note, based on National's website (comes up all blank to me) it looks like they might be the exclusive dealer for the new Apache. :D

I know this is a scam but how do the scammers profit from this.
I GOT THIS E-MAIL TODAY

Dear Beloved,
I am Mrs Faith Daudu from South Africa. I am married to Mr.Daudu Williams who work with Nigerian Port Authority(NPA) as a Controller General at Tinka Island Port in Lagos for Twelve years before he died in the year 2003 July.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Ch ristian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Twenty Million U.S. Dollars)This fund is in Zenith International Securities Corporation here in Nigeria.
This securities corporation in collaboration with "Diplomatic Express Courier Services" helps in the shipment of valuable goods out of the country through a Diplomatic means, so the fund is packaged in consignment. Presently, this consignment is still with the Securities Corporation.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct them.
I want a god fearing individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are Gross mismanager . I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by wrongly. I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision.
I am not afraid of death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my poor health that is why the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact name of my lawyer ,telephone number and email address who will issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. With God all things are possible.
My happiness is that I live a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. I am not been discriminatory on relifion. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Please i want you to assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated Above.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Best Regards,
Mrs Faith Daudu.

I am the Prince of malaga-spain.

All windfalls are now the property of my family.

Because of this new law, we will grandfather for 90 days the old law of having to pay our Royal family 100% + legal expenses for the transfer of money to our accounts.

Sincerely,
Prince CFM

So they actually sent the moneyorder/check, eh? HAHAH

I was communication with one ( my hotmail account ) schmuck that wanted my address as he was sending the "cheque" for 250,000 for my 1995 Dodge Neon that I had posted for sale at www.craigslist.com. Yes...they were going to pay 250K for a Dodge Neon with 205,000 miles. I wish I could have seen the check.

my address I gave him was:

123 Happy street,
Eat My A$$, Iowa 55555

Wonder if he got the hint.

Don't ever post anything for sale at Craigslist.com...what a joke. I got 15 responses for that car....NONE were legit. Most were scams such as the above. One woman had the balls to ask if I would finance the car for her daughter....$800??? And you live 6 hours away? I think not.

I get that stuff all of the time. I actually have two checks in my desk drawer right now. I got one yesterday for $40000 for my Pachanga. All they want me to do is wire them 8k for shipping. I figure I will wait until I am dying and then go cash them.
Can you scan the checks, or take digital photos and post them?

I HAD GOTTEN A CHECK FOR $31000. BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FOR ALL THESE FEES AND TO PAY FOR THE LAWYER. I WAS TOLD BY THE LAWYER TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT, UNTIL EVERYTHING GOES THRU. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL IT IS THAT I WON. I WAS JUST TOLD TO DEPOSIT THE CHECK INTO MY BANK THEN TRANSFER THE MONEY TO HIM. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO SENT ME THE CHECK. I STILL HAVE IT.

Yup - your bank is not responsible. They'll charge you back after they find it is no good.

That's how they get you.

Tell them you have a volcanoe to sell - see if they are interested. :laugher: :laugher: :laugher:
 
#23 ·
THE ONLY THING I HAVE FROM THE SENDER OF THE CHECK IS HIS NAME AND NUMBER. I HAD GIVEN HIM MY NUMBER TO CALL AND NOW THAT I HAVE THE CHECK, HE IS LIKE REALLY DESPERATE FOR ME TO DEPOSIT THE CHECK. I TOLD HIM THAT I NEED HIS ADDRESS BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO DEPOSIT THE CHECK INTO MY ACCOUNT BUT I AM SENDING THE CHECK BACK TO HIM. HE STARTED YELLING AND SCREAMING AT ME SO I HUNG UP THE PHONE. BESIDES, MY MINUTES WERE RUNNIG AND MY PHONE IS PRE-PAID.

Tell the bank you think it's phony, open a separate account with NONE of your money in it. Tell the sender that the bank won't release the funds for 14 days. If the check clears go buy lottery tickets.....because your luck is that good!

I get these kinds of offers all the time. I reply back with a yahoo e-mail address with my ex-wifes information.

She hasn't gotten any wealthier from what I've heard.
