419 Scam
Gambia_L,
I got the same email like most of you all…I knew it was a scam because I did
receive similar emails on my other accounts. Nonetheless, I decided to
respond; find my respond below:
{Mustafa,
I was contacted by the lady named above (Mariam Abacha) to get in touch with
you to help her in some funds she has and she advised that I'll get a
commission..
Please email me and advise me of how to proceed. I  would like you to give
me your full name, phone number and address, without which I cannot proceed!
Waiting to hear from you!
Lang.}

Sure enough, this morning I got a response from this Mustafa guy!

{ATTN: MR. LANG

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR E-MAIL AND I HAVE ALSO
BEEN BRIEFED BY MADAM ABACHA OF YOUR INTENTION TO COME TO HER ASSISTANCE.

AS SHE HAS RIGHTLY INFORMED YOU, THE FUND VALUED AT $53M WAS DEPOSITED
BY MRS ABACHA  WHO EQUALLY WAS THE  WIFE OF THE LATE MILITARY HEAD OF
STATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. THE FUND WAS DEPOSITED WITH
GLOBAL SECURITY COMPANY LTD.IN ACCRA - GHANA.  AFTER THE DEATH OF  SANNI
ABACHA THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS SUBJECTED TO GOVERNMENT SECURITY AND MONITOR,
THERE PROPERTIES AND ACCOUNTS BOTH AT HOME  AND ABROAD WERE SEIZED,
BUT THE $53M WAS NOT TRACE BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERED AS FAMILY TREASURE
DEPOSITED IN CONSIGNMENT BOX OF 24 X 24 SIZES.

AS THE FAMILY ATTORNEY,  I  HAVE BEEN MANDATED TO ENSURE THAT ALL PROCEDURES
AND PROCESSES ARE FULLY FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO SEE THAT THE CONSIGNMENT
REGISTERED AND DEPOSITED IN FAVOUR OF YOUR COMPANY'S NAME AND ADDRESS.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:-

1 YOU ARE TO FURNISH  MY CHAMBERS  WITH YOUR COMPANIES NAME AND ADDRESS.

NAME AND ADDRESS OR IN YOUR PERSONAL  NAME  BASED ON  WHICH EVER OPTION
YOU PREFER.

3.  AFTER THE REGISTRATION, RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WILL BE SECURED TO SHOW
AND PROVE THAT YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THE CONSIGNMENTS AND COPIES
WILL BE SENT TO YOU ACCORDINGLY FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION AND PERUSAL.

4. THE CONSIGNMENT WILL BE SHIPPED TO ARMSTERDAM - HOLLAND TO THEIR
AFFILIATE
COMPANY( GLOBAL FINANCE & SECURITIES B.V WHO HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO PROCESS
THE TRANSACTION.

5.  YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY THE GLOBAL FINANCE & SECURITIES BV.  OF THE
ARRIVAL OF THE CONSIGNMENT IN ARMSTERDAM - HOLLAND AND YOU WILL BE INVITED
TO COME FORWARD AND CLAIM THE CONSIGNMENT, WHILE I WILL BE PRESENT WITH

He sure gave me his full name and phone number( the validity of which I'll
be checking out later) but never game me his address. I don't know if there
is anything I can do to nail whoever is behind this scam but I am working on
it.
Please, I mean please don't anybody give out their account numbers to
anyone. I was listening to the Clark Howard show on the radio and he sure
did mention that some people have been known to obtain account numbers and
succeeded in withdrawing money from them!….I work so hard for my money & I
am sure you all do so do not be fooled by these undesirable elements.

Later…Take care.
Lang .
