IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT (FIFTEEN MILLION POUNDS STERLINGS) FROM OUR BANK HERE IN LONDON. THE FUND FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN ORIGIN. THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS A FOREIGNER, a program leader who was believed to acquire the fund through his secret Crude Oil deal with the Former IRAQI Government.The deceased died with all the members of his family in an auto-accident in February 14, 2005, without a WILL. The amount involved is [15, 000, 000.00 POUNDS STERLINGS]. I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES BEFORE, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.KINDLY CONTACT ME ONWARDS THROUGH MY PERSONAL PRIVATE EMAIL: dr_dldldldl@yahoo.co.uk PHONE: +44-703-183-4622 FAX : +44-(0)177-611-4947 EMAIL: dr_dldldldl@yahoo.co.uk Let me hear from you, Regards, Dr. Derek Lamberty

I'd totally do it. I mean, he's a doctor, and he guarantees that it's 100% risk and trouble-free!!! What more do you want, man?

Maybe we should organize a charity run.

Make the Monkey into some sort of event for this poor colleague, perhaps? 5ks are a popular distance for charity events. Not sure why that is....

Yeah, it's a total scam. It's a different variation of the one Zoom-zoom just linked but, it's a scam. You have to admire the attempt to keep it current & topical though. If it sounds too good to be true...

You wouldn't believe the scams targeting Photographers. I don't get as many now, but I used to get tons of things where people had some tale of being from a foreign country and planning a wedding in the US. They "offer" to send a check for some crazy amt. of money, then the plan to have the photog. reimburse them for the over. k

First off, you should check out Quatloos for a bunch of scam related information and funny 419 scam stories! If you do decide to deal (I mean play) with these folks and they are Nigerian, I would make sure you get a Kenyan because I heard most have pretty good PRs.

I would invest in this, but I'm already helping out a guy from Nigeria.
