419 Spam - An self experiement (I)

Okay, I confess, I could not withstand the temptation to reply to those promising mails from Nigeria and this time, I even ended up in a conversation with someone. However, we reached a point where I am not sure, whether I should proceed or not...

So far, I have really enjoyed playing the dumb idiot who believes everything and whose questioning of statement/facts was just shallow and moreover, who even obeys and discloses his fax number (so far I have not received anything).

Frightening to know that there are indeed people out there, who believe they could make a quick buck or two with it, isn't it?

Since I am on a business trip (see below), I have still some time to make up my mind and decide, whether I disclose some more secrets about me in order to get a share of that huge amount of money ($10.5M).

Nationalität von Ihrem Land, das ein ausländischer Bauunternehmer/Ingenieur mit Chevron Ölfirma in Nigeria vor seinem unzeitigen Tod war.

Am 27. Tag von Sept 2002, es wurde zu mir berichtet, dass mein Freund, und seine Familie in einem Örtlichen
Flugzeugabsturz an Kano Staat verwickelt wurde, alle Bewohner im Flugzeug haben ihre Leben, leider auf diesem gleichen Flug waren andere Würdenträger verloren, wie der Sport und eine Vielzahl von anderen sich Kümmert. Die Folgenden Websites könnten auf verwiesen werden:

Da dann ich mehrere Erkundigungen zu Ihrer Botschaft gemacht habe, irgendein von meinem Kunden sich zu
befinden, hat Familie, dies auch hat sich erwiesen als erfolglos ausgedehnt. Nach diesen mehreren erfolglosen
Versuchen habe ich entschieden, seinen Verwandten/Geschäftspartner durch das Internet verfzuolgen, irgendein
Mitglied von seiner Familie sich zu befinden, aber nutzlos, deshalb ich habe Sie oder irgendjemanden berührt,
die bereit zu sein können. Ich habe Sie berührt, beim Beanspruchen des Fonds zu helfen, als der nächste Angehörige/Geschäftspartner zu meinem späten Freund bevor der Fonds, unbrauchbar durch die Bankleitung
erklärt zu werden, wo diese riesigen Einzahlungen logiert wurden, und meine Ländersteuereinnahmen
Beauftragen.

Besonders die NIGERIANER FINANZ BANK, wo das verstorbene ein geschätztes an ungefähr US$10. 5 gehabt hat Millionen Dollar, die Leitung von der Bank hat ausgegeben mir eine Notiz, den nächsten Angehörigen zu versorgen//Geschäftspartner oder das Konto beschlagnahmen zu lassen und hat zu die Steuereinnahmen innerhalb der nächsten vierzehn offiziellen Arbeitstage erklärt Beauftragt.

Ich garantiere Sie, der dies unter einer legitimen Anordnung durchgeführt werden wird, die Sie von irgendeinem
Bruch vom Gesetz in meinem Land schützen wird.

Die besten Beachtungen,
Dr. Frau, Laarni Laarni.

Dear Dr. Laarni,

I am not sure, whether I can accept your honestly generous offer. I chatted with my lawyer about the case (just briefly because he was very busy and I did not want him to charge me, you know how those lawyers are), and he warned me to pretend to be of someone's kin if indeed I am not. So I do not know what to do.

How is the legal situation in South Africa?

Yours sincerely!

My fax no is +49 (1212) 516……, however I am on a business trip and might not be able to get back to you very soon.

I assumed you were in South Africa based on the email address you are using. It has the ending "za", which I thought would stand for South Africa (a wonderful country by the way).


Kind regards
