Yet Another Stupid Dumb E-mail Scam

[TheNiteHwk]

This morning I got this in my e-mail

What really gets me about these scams is it is so stupid yet some people actually believe this BS and will respond. Like duh.

,"Dear Sir/Madam,

I represent GLOBAL IMPORT/EXPORT COMPANY based in the UK. My company exports cocoa and other goods/services for world trade. What we really require is someone who can represent this company in Europe and America We have been having problems with clients in these regions because they are politely refusing to pay for shipments on one excuse or the other so we need a representative that can assist us in clearing our money in their respective countries.

Most of our customers pay out in cheques and we do not have an account in your country that will clear this money.

It is upon this note that we seek your assistance as our representative in your country.

Be informed that as our representative, you will receive 10% of whatever amount you clear for the company and the balance will be paid into an account we will avail to you. The second thing required of you would be for you to establish a relationship on behalf of our company with other cocoa industries in your country so that we can have new ideas and directions.

This job is rather easy and does not require a lot of expertise.

If you are interested in this business offer, please email me on this email address below: { jamesgrisham4@inMail24.com }


Very Respectfully,


Mr. James Grisham,
President,

Dear Nighthawk: I am being held captive in a Nigerian jail. My family owns oil fields and gold mines in Nigeria. If you make my bail $75,000.00 I garantee my family will repay you tenfold. Please send money via Western Union via my name. Respectfully Great Bear.

 

[Meesh]

Dear great bear,

I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese Fortune Cookie factory.

All my attempts at sending 'Help' messages in the cookies have gone for naught.

If you can send me $4.95 for bus fare, plus $100,000 for miscellaneous expenses, I guarantee you a lifetime supply of fortune cookies, assuming they don't go stale.

Sincerely,

Meesh.

I got one of your cookies and the messages for help were in Chinese. Is it any wonder your still stuck in the cookie factory. It would have been much nicer to be stuck in a "nookie" factory.

[TheNiteHwk]

Dear Greatbear:

I am sorry to report I have invested my entire life savings recently in the coco industry. I am assured that my $1.92 will soon multiply into possibly $million$. So until my funds are released I am unable to help. Unless of course your family were to send me the $750,000. via Western Union or Money Mart transfer then I will of course (assuming there are no objections by anyone here) contact the authorities to release you at once.
