New email scam-Nigerian must not be raising enough money
« on: June 11, 2009, 10:29:17 PM »
Hello,

This is a message from the Ishmael Ghost Islamic Group. We are confirmed Islamic Hired killers and Suicide aids. We have been sent to assassinate you and members of your family. I am sorry if the following message will not be detailed because we would not want you to be able to track us as we have been following your every move for sometime now.

Sometime ago, you offended a member of our gang. As you quite know, I shall not be detailing my statement. This member had ordered for your assassination after he made sure he acquired every information about you and your family. It was when he produced your complete details that another member of our gang found out he knew someone in your extended family. As a result, he pleaded for you and said you should be pardoned under any condition. After reaching an agreement, we decided that you provide the total sum of 800 USD to transport some of our expatriates out of the USA. The money shall finalize the migration of these Islamic expatriates out of the USA. If you do not follow these requirements, I am sorry you shall not live to see the next three weeks, even if you see the next three weeks, a member of your family shall pay for it and another shall pay for every other week you stay alive until you are dead. To provide this money, kindly send the money via western union or money gram to a receiver in the UK. Once this receiver has confirmed the receipt of the money he shall securely send it back to us for the needed reason. Below is the information of the receiver.

Receiver: Steven Gibbs
Location: London, UK.

Send complete transfer information once transfer has been made to this email dflender9@live.com DO NOT PLAY PRANKS, THIS IS NOT A JOKE

You have been given 72hrs to send this money or else you shall pay with your life. Note: we have all your movement and the movement of members of your family monitored. Do not let them pay for your greed. Because before you are killed, you shall loose a member of your family alongside. I do not have to inform you that this message should be kept secret from everyone especially the police and other authorities, because if anything happens to any member of our gang, be it within or outside the USA, your family story shall be a disaster. You should know this Islamic Group is wide and members cannot be completely wiped out. Note: We are sending this message with a hacked European and African IP address so that you cannot trace location of this message. I will not explain further, a word should be enough for the wise.

Have a nice life
Group Treasury Officer.

All that for $800? Who runs this gang, Woody Allen?

They've obviously never met anyone in my family, what with the "pleading for me" and such.  :laugh:

They usually ask for tens of thousands, not $800.  Though they did ask you to "kindly" send it.

Tell him you are dying of cancer, and have less than a week to live.  You also have no family, so you'll be blowing the last of your money (which happens to be exactly $800) on hookers and beer.

That's one I'd almost be willing to send $20 to, as a thank you for being creative (and having halfway decent english usage)...

What was that about a pearl handled revolver and someone from New Orleans again?

Nah, send him one dollar, and send it to a Western Union office 200 miles away from him.

This scam's been around awhile, too. "I have been hired to kill you, send me money and I won't." Sometimes they say an associate of yours ordered the hit, sometimes it's like this one.

Epic.  I may do that with the next scam I get in the mail.  Been reading 419 Eater recently.

Do it!  It'll cost about $14 to send just $1 (IIRC) but it's well worth the laugh.  BTW the scammer can go online to verify that there is money waiting for him, but the website will not disclose how much.

Dear Yoohoo,
I have hacked your IP address, as I am an intelligence officer with the CIA.  We will be along to collect your scalps shortly, please wash your hair.
 


I couldn't think of anything anymore original than that.

Forward along to the FBI, Dept. of Homeland Security, and British MI5. Watch the news for the arrests to come.  =D

On a personal note, these are the same type of asshats (abet much dumber) that write those computer viruses that try and force you to buy their fake antivirus software to clean your computer of the crap that they did to it. There is a special place in hell reserved for those folks.

Right next to those that talk in the theather..... =D

On an additional note.  I would suggest to Mr. 419 that his compatriots get themselves "arrested" by US forces and then they'll be relocated to somewhere nice like Bermuda or Palau along with a couple million in walking around money courtesy of our glorious leader.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

E-mail them back a pic of a severed horse's head with the caption "Let me make you a counter-offer...."

Made of WIN.


Given the odds, they're likely to take out somebody I don't like anyhow, so everything would work out!  :laugh:
