O.P. this email fake?
i just go this email:
quote: Dear Friend,
I am ALHAJI SHAIBU R. SANKO, the Administrative officer of the
consignment/Treasury Department of a Security and Finance Company in Abidjan,
Ivory Coast, with sub-offices and agents in all the continents of the world.
Recently, we discovered a dormant consignment with a substantial amount of
money valued at Five Million United States Dollars (US$5,000,000.00)
that belongs to one of our numerous customers who died in a motor accident
in November 1998.
During the period of our investigation, we discovered that the deceased died
along with his only son and wife, leaving no WILL and nobody behind to come
for the claim as next of kin. The policy guidelines/law of our firm stipulates
that if such consignment remains unclaimed for Six years, it will be forfeited
to the firm's treasury as an unclaimed consignment/bill. As a citizen, I cannot
stand as the next of kin to a foreigner.
It is upon this discovery that I as head of this department decided to
Contact you to collaborate with me to pull out this dormant consignment. I
am going to give you 5% of the total fund if this proposal meets your interest.
Urgently, reach me through e-mail stated below, to enable me give you the
full details for this transaction and how it is going to work out. Also
include your personal telephone and fax number for easy communication.
What I want from you is to act as the deceased's next of kin. I have in my
possession (alone) all necessary documents to successfully accomplish this
business. However, it may require your physical presence to complete this transaction.
Further information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive response.
Please reach me on this email: shasanko@gmail.com
Anticipate your urgent reply.
Shaibu R. Sanko

RE: this email fake?
I remember getting one of these emails 5-6 years ago.
It's fake, but at the same time, it's a trap. If you actually believe them and do what they say, you either get killed or end up in jail.
Well, that's what I've read about it at that time...
Hack, hack, hack!

It's fake
They ask you for your bank details, you register them as a joint partner (or similar), then they take all your money out.
AVOID IT!
