Big Ben London scamming scammers Nigerian scams humor NigerianScamFun hysterical funnyDear Friend,

Please I will like to know if you have hired Attorney John Palmer as your representative towards the collection of your Inheritance with the deposit company. Because am corresponding to the false Email claims I daily receive from Attorney John Palmer. That you have requested and hired his services as your representative Attorney to make the collection of your $1.5Million USD inheritance estate cheque funds collection.

I will not oblige to his request, the reason is because you have not personally notify me about his coming and also after making consultations with the law suit Chamber he claimed he represent. I was told such name do not exist with the law firm either in the past or present. Without wasting much time, I have taken your cheque inheritance collection to the finance ministry to de-activate the Encrypted code been placed on it by your benefactor. All this activity was done by me last week to enable me conclude the final phase of your transaction with the finance ministry.

Meanwhile, I have received response from the Deposits company that they have received your package collection Friday last week at about 14:00 GMT.Because they were the issuing bank deposits company that notify me earlier that you have a package collection consignment for pick up as bestowed in the will document papers of late Rev Father James. Elias who issued you this $1.5Million USD payment cheque in your name. So as the attorney to the deceased I was out-rightly informed about your collections which prompt me to take decisive actions immediately by following what was stated in his will papers.

Once again, I hope and pray you use your Inheritance collection payment as issued to you wisely by investing with it and paying One tenth of it as your tithe to any Red Cross society or orphanage homes near you in helping a soul today.

Furthermore, your compliance towards this E-mail is highly anticipated, to enable the deposit company remit your inheritance payment cheque to you immediately, thank you.

I really want to know your stands on this matter before I pull OFF.

My kind Dr. Williams –

I have not hired that Attorney John Palmer. I believe he is trying to cheat both of us, Dr. Williams. Please cease and desist your dealings with him immediately. I fear he is some sort of—dare I even say this heinous term—scam artist.

I assume you are with the advance title mortgage deposit reference company in London, England? Please confirm so I can get you the required information as soon as possible,

Dear Dr. George and Martins –

This whole affair is becoming very upsetting to me. I was never informed that the Reverend Father’s money has been sitting there waiting for me. How long has it been sitting? Days? Weeks?

What I am getting at is that even sitting in a simple passbook savings account of 0.1% interest, we’re talking about $29 or so worth of interest every week. And I’m pretty sure that I could get a lot closer to 1% interest with a lot of banks around here.

I think this is the sort of thing that need to be brought to the attention to the Deposit Company. At the very least, we should get that church secretary’s ass fired. It’s just unacceptable that I was uninformed until now.

Please let me know what the next steps are so I can get my money.

Hello Martins –

I did not receive your reply to my last email, where I expressed my concerns about whether interest would be included. I do not feel that I should be penalized for this error on the Deposit Company’s account. What amount will be added to the $1,500,000 to make this right? And has that moronic secretary been fired yet?

I am looking forward to your answers before we proceed.

Thanking you in Christ,

-Paul

Hello Martins –

Fine. After much soul searching, I have decided to drop my request for the interest. But I am unclear as to why we are paying a fee for the scientific study of human language?

Now, if there was just some sort of bank fee, well, I’d understand that, for sure. But a linguistic fee just seems so random and over the top. Would you please check into what this is all about? I’ve never been a huge fan of the humanities.

Thank you,

-Paul

Paul,
Thank you for this mail,i went to the bank immediately i received your mail to ask what this fee stands for and i was told that, it is documentations like clearance certificate and to notarize the document that will accompany the fund to it country of transfer, please sir our delaying this issue will not help, send to me as soon as possible the bank information were you will want this fund transfer, and i was told that you should send the charges using the name of, Sarah Joy, address, United Kingdom London you can send through Money gram money transfer or western union money transfer,

Hello Martins –

Okay, I suppose that is acceptable. I have about $6,800 in my savings account, so hopefully the fee is not that much, I’d prefer not to have to temporarily borrow any money. What is the actual amount of the fee? You have never told me.

Also, my wife is a little suspicious. Do not worry, I have mostly satisfied her about this transaction, I’ve explained that you are a trustworthy man and that this is all in the name of the most holy Reverend Father. But she said that sometimes there are Nigerians who are posing as English bankers and they’re not really English bankers, they’re Nigerians. To finally shut her up, we agreed that I could just have you answer some basic phrases/expressions that an Englishman would know (or if Sarah Joy can answer them, that would satisfy my wife, too).

I’ll paste my wife’s questions below as fill-in-the-blanks.

Jolly old ________
The clock tower of Big ________
Fish and chips and ____________
The ____________ of Parliment
Who wants to really ____________?
Queen ________ II
Celery and raisin _______________
Patricia ___________________
Dig me up a __________________

Please send me the answers and I’ll get my wife to agree to this. And let me know the exact amount of the fee so I can send it to Sarah Joy immediately thereafter!

Thank you again,

-Paul

P.S. I think you forgot Sarah Joy’s address. You just had it listed as “address.” Or is that the name of a street in downtown London (confusing if it is, huh?). Sorry about my confusion there.

Martins –

Thank you for your cooperation. My wife said you scored perfectly! Maybe now that woman will go back in the kitchen and keep quiet. Not that I want her to actually cook, mind you. Her meatloaf could kill a horse.

Anyway, let’s get to business. I need to know the fee amount and where to send it. Please let me know.

As a short aside, are you any relation to Marty “Chesty” Owner Jr., the former barrister of Oxfordshire-on-Spanglish? He and my father were very good friends back in college in the 1970s, and as a coincidence, they actually spent a summer serving as interns in the Westminster of Parliment. Well, I’m guessing it’s a pretty common last name there in England, but you never know. It is a small world.

Looking forward to your instructions,

-Paul

Paul,
thank you once more, the amount is 340 pounds and it equivalent to dollar is $680, send using the name of SARAH JOY,United Kingdom London, the world is a small world as you said, my promise to you is that fund will be released to you under 48 hours once this payment is received.

Martins Owner

Good morning Martin –

This is great, wonderful! I’ve just returned from the Cleveland airport post office, which is open 24 hours. I mailed $680.00 in cash to Sarah at this address, as instructed:

Sarah Joy
Address
United Kingdom
London

I hope I did it right. I used a $0.98 international first class stamp, so I’m thinking it will arrive in 3 or 4 days, worst case scenario. Please have Sarah watch her mail, and let me know when it is received.

I couldn’t tell from your response whether you know Chesty Owner. He wouldn’t be your father or uncle by chance? Maybe your comment about it indeed being a small world was acknowledging that you two are related? That would be so, so, so, so, so, funny.

Your friend,

-Paul

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR JOKES, IT IS FUNNY, MAY GOD HELP YOU
