I mean it was sent to me personally so it can't be a scam.....biglaugh



From: MR. AMA IDRISA,
African Development Bank
Burkina Faso (ADB)
Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.
Dear Friend,

On a very good day,Welcome this letter in the name of God.
(I am MR. AMA IDRISA) the director of the account & auditing dept, at the African Development Bank (ADB) Ouagadougou Burkina Faso West Africa. With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank's last account/auditing evaluations, I came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt died on a sudden motor accident along Togo road on his way back to Burkina Faso with his entire family his wife and his only child on 6th Nov. 2003.
Since the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client. Since his demise, nobody, not even the members of his family have applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that. it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the dept, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. With the few personnel in my dept, I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.
The total amount in the accounts is ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00). with our positions as a staff of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. while contemplating on what to do, I came across your email contact in the internet directory and I decided to ask you for help to transfer this money out of the country to your account in your country .the client is a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin or business partner. I will supply you with all necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred to.
I have decided to give away forty %( 40%) to you for your assistance and ten (10%) for any expenses that might arise during the transaction of this transfer. I want to assure you that this
transaction is absolutely 100% guarantee since I work in this bank which is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.
I will please wish you keep this transaction secret as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safely in your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing of the money according to the previous agreed percentage. You might even have to advise us on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May god help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.
Please for further information and enquiries feel free to contact me through my email address or call me on this number + 226 75 24 50 17 for oral discussion. Do not hesitate to furnish me with your private telephone line for easy and effective communication.

I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed.

This sounds like the work of George Agdgdgwngo. Have you had any strange calls from this man? He works in a bank. There may be some sort of pigeon stuck in your bank account so he needs your account number and sort code to remove it. No? He was very helpful for me....

I find it odd that the media hasn't made a big thing about this to get the message out to Joe Public that these scams exist.

All it would take is a short campaign by any of the tabloids, or a few public information films, to make poor Doris and Mervyn a bit more sceptical and drastically cut down the number of scammed. We can't all be experts on everything, and many people are very innocent about what the Internet represents.

If everyone did, the scammers wouldn't get a bite. Thus, everyone doesn't know about this.

I would, in fact, hazard a guess that many people who have bought computers for their parents / grandparents aren't telling them the Net can be a bad place as well as one where they can see pictures of their grandchildren.

Sounds like the blokes budgeted it fairly well. There's a 10%, million dollar, budget for expenses.

What could possably go wrong?











Although I'd be tempted to 419 him. yes

The funny thing is that I do have Relatives in Africa and can't get a bean out of them.

They live in Zimarbway and my great uncle owns a number of completely worthless classic cars, which he collected before independence.

That's not funny. Not in anybody's book.
The chat up line "come on love-don't let this rape turn into a murder" is funny.
Yours just reads as a normal statement oddly unrelated to the thread confused

A lot of people actually.

Recently a colleague of mine went to his bank and jokingly mentioned that he seemed to have a new African friend every wek and who would fall for such stuff. The bank manager said that they had people in trying to open new accounts or take out large sums of money due to scams every week.

Every week.

And those were the ones that got picked up by the bank staff.

In addition there are a lot of people around who find dealing with their money very difficult. The elderly, the less bright and those with mental health problems are easy prey.

I was not trying to be funny. I'm saying, it's impossible to legally export assets out of some African Nations, even if you have dual nationality and would like to return 'home'
