Hallo,
eigentlich ist es ja schon ein so alter Hut, daß man beim Lesen der manchmal etwas konfus übersetzten „Nigeria-connection“ mails lauthals lachen muß.
Heute habe ich jedoch eine mail dieser Art bekommen, die ich bisher noch nie erhielt, eine personalisierte Nachricht. Angeblich wurde ich angeschrieben, weil ich denselben Nachnamen wie die Opfer des tragischen Verkehrsunfalls habe. (Anmerkung: Diese mail schlüpfte durch den Spam-Filter in der Firma, wo ich natürlich eine mail-Adresse mit Vor- und Zuname habe.)
Für diejenigen dies interessiert, der originale Text der Nachricht:
_Attn:Gerhard Haubner ,
I am Barr.Frank Wilson, solicitor and notary
public,the personal attorney to Mr.Mark Haubner.Who
used to be a contractor with Shell Development and
Petroleum Company (SPDC) here in Nigeria and also a
national of your country.On the 21st of April 2002,my client,his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along Lagos/Ibadan express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
trace his relatives over the Internet,to locate any
member of his family but to no avail, hence I
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where my client
lodge these huge deposits. Particularly,the bank where
the deceased had an account valued at US$15million
dollars.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated
withina short time.Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over some years now,I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you share the same surname with my Late client,so that the proceeds of the account valued at U.S$15 million can be paid to your account for both of us to share the funds;50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup the claim.All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.Please get in touch with me through
my alternative e-mail([email protected]) to
enable us discuss further.
Thanks for your kind co-operation
Barr.Frank Wilson_
