"Hello Sir.
Dear Gopakumar,
Please very Urgent.
I am contacting you to assist me in transferring the sum of (€6,500,000 million
euros) into your personal bank account, this will be for the benefit of both of
us.
This is a genuine business transaction only I cannot operate it alone without
using a Foreigner according to the laws guiding my bank, that is why i am
contacting you in this manner to help me stand before my bank as the
beneficiary to claim this fund into your bank account, for assisting me to actualize
this better opportunity, you will be entitled to have 40% from the total fund
while 60% will be for me, as a matter of fact, what i need is your maximum
cooperation and to provide a valid bank account where my bank will transfer
this money for the benefit of you and I. By indicating your interest on
assurance of trust I will send you the full details and how this business will
be executed.
Most importantly, please I will advice you to keep this business proposal as a
top secret between you and me. Your urgent response to this mail will be highly
appreciated., Give me your email address..."

Medical Billing/Coding/InsuranceNo we can't. The only surprising thing is that this very old version of the Nigerian scam is still being worked, and still succeeding with some people. Oct 17th 2011 10:29 |

Independent ConsultantInteresting strategy Udo. Do you not have problems down the track again because you have responded? Either your email, phone #, or other contact method. I must admit to stringing along some cold calls made to my phone. Oct 17th 2011 21:34 |
