Thousand United States Dollars) US$8.5M which we want to transfer
abroad with
the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individualto

said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to
receive
such funds.
More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South African

privileges
of the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
be
willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be
25% of
the US$8.5 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses.
The
business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with
utmost
secrecy and confidentiality. Also, your area of specialization is not a
hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have
reposed my
confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

Sooo, Can they not add either?0 -
It's a scam man! There's not one mention of Cocoa, everyone knows there has to be a choclately beverage connection involved to truly be a profitable venture originating from the dark continent. 0 -
I have answered a couple stating I could open an account deposit their money but did not have any money or credit so could not give them a dime until all their money was certified clear.
Odd, they did not respond
I only responded to those from my Gmail address; never my normal email.

You can bet they are from Nigera, no matter what country they claim to be writing from. We all get them so they really don't need to be posted unless they promise naked women as well as millions and send photos of both. 0 -
Don't be so negative. This one might be for real. They all can't be fake. You don't don't know that it not true. It could be that his government changed, and he needs to get his money out of the country and just needs needs help. Things like this really happen' just like when Bill Gates gives away his money by keeping tract of when you forward the e-mails. Rich people do things like that. Where is your faith? 0 -
While Nigeria was the home of the banking scam, it has branched out. Former Soviet Union members, Britain, Mexico, etc. Liked the one I got that claimed to be a member of the US Army in Iraq, had several of Saddam's millions he wanted to get out of Iraq. Said he was in Baghdad. Said would be glad to meet him- since I was the Asst G-3 for an armored division- in Baghdad. No response- wonder why? Just remember, folks- it is HARD to cheat an honest man. MOST scams require some element of greed on the part of the mark. And a Merry Christmas to all y'all on GB. 0 -
