Had to share this email I got this morning

Dear Sir/Madam,



My name is Ahmed Abdalla, Director and Board Member,Transparency International ,Kenya. I got your email address from the web directory so I decided to contact you.



We are interested in diverting some funds currently floating in the suspense account of the federal pay office to your account as soon as possible.



Source of the funds are:

During the Arap Moi's government, government’s officials awarded contracts to their own companies, these contracts were grossly over invoiced. Now the present government set up contract review panel to settle those owed outstanding amount. My colleagues and I have identified a huge amount totaling US$ 370m (Three hundred and seventy million us dollars) oversea .



We would want US$43.8m (Forty three million Eight Hundred Thousand) dollars out this money oversea transferred to your account because we are not eligible to operate foreign account, and I have been mandated to search for a partner abroad. We really want this transfer made as soon as possible before the government, who have started refunding money from Moi's foreign accounts track this money.We will be offering 20% for your assistance.



If you would want to proceed with this transaction please reply with your name and phone number to(abdalla200@netscape.net) and if you do not accept my offer please treat with utmost confidentiality.



For more information check and browse carefully all the links in the website below.

[mrnate400ex]

any of you got the one that they call you about getting government grants?? the two people i talked to were both of middle eastern descent(their accent was obvious). they told me that they would give me a minimum of $25,000 but usually it was more. they said that all they needed to know was the "rest" of my bank information and they could get that money transfered into my account in a couple of days. funny how the only information they needed was my account number!!! they tried to scam me by telling me to read them the numbers at the bottom of my check. i was like, do you guys think i'm stupid??? so, i told them to send me some information out about the "government grant" program since they had my address. they said they couldn't do that unless i was "preapproved". anyhow, just thought i might warn you guys of that scam if you haven't heard it.

After this email i sent him one back, because of course i knew it would be a scam, and i asked how payemnt would be made, he told me some crap about how hes going to send me a check for 5000.00 more then the 4 wheeler costs for his shipper in new jersey or some crap, and i am supposed to send him my quad and 5,000.00.

After he sent that one i sent him one back saying" i know you're scamming me buddy, so you might as well give it up, if you want my 4 wheeler fly your ***** over here and pick it up your damn self with cash in hand

And if they have the account number, they can draw funds out of it. If they overdraw, do you think the bank will go after them, or the name on the account?

That won't be so funny when the big one hits:devil: I can't wait to see what it does to my property value!!:D

They call that the "419 scam" because that's the area code of Nigeria, where most of these scams originate. Here's a pretty funny website:
