Before his death in zimbabwe, he deposited the sum of USD$12.5 Million with one of the bank here in Malaysia. Basically, I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my late client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. I have a mandate from the bank to present the next of kin to the deceased or the funds will be confiscated and so far, all my efforts to get hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.

I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extra-ordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest through my private email: idrisalbchambers@gmail.com

I always send them a couple of emails like I've been sucked in, and then tell them to ram it. Tossers.
the last one I had was from supposed rich bloke on his death bed in hospital who wanted to leave me 13 million quid. His family had tried knocking him off and he wanted me to help the starving in Africa.

[thebluerider]

I don't know, sounds legit to me.

[viel cazzo]

SIGN ME UP!!!!! I WANT 12 MIL! Caps used for effect.

Those scam baiting sites are hillarious. What some guys go through to mess with these dirtbags is phenominal. Watch out though you can get hooked and read through the posts for 8-10 hours, you just get sucked in an can't stop reading!!

As for the email it is probably from some dude in Africa in an internet cafe, sorry no $12 million waiting for you.
