Stupidest SCAM I've ever seen.........

SevenOfNine

REALLY, would anyone on the receiving end of this email (I just got) actually be stupid enough to do what is asked.

Free money.............as if!!! Removed a bit of the actual link in case there IS a twit out there reading this.


I am ANGELINA LAWTON, 63 Years Old Woman and Wife of Late ROBERT LAWTON
who died on the 13th of March 2011 after a brief illness. After the Death
of my husband I became the Head of his investment and I have decided to
spend the rest of my life in my Ranch before I finally join him in his
resting place. Presently, I have willed out almost all of our assets to
several Charity Homes and to some of the Less Privilege in different
Countries because I have no seed of my own to inherit if you are wondering
what the reason for My Generosity might be it is because I have no one to
inherit it as my late husband and I had no child due to my barrenness
which was not an issue because we loved each other even till death.

The sum of Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great British Pounds is
currently in a Dormant Account with 1OneWorld Mobile and Internet Bank Plc
and can be yours if you want it to be, there is no hidden agenda and you
absolutely have nothing to worry about. The Account which the Money is
deposited is Currently Dormant and has been for over One year now, which
means you might be ask by the Bank to Pay for the Account Activation Fee
before they can begin the Transfer Process of the Money to your Account.
If you think you are capable and up to the task of handling the Transfer
of the Money to your Own Personal or Business Account anywhere in the
World and receive after 24hours of Transfer, then all you have to do is
contact the International Transfer Department of the Bank with this Email
(*********[EMAIL="*********@1oneworldmobileinternet.com"]@1oneworldmobileinternet.com[/EMAIL] or

When Contacting them, be sure to send them your Full Name, Contact
Address, Occupation, Date of Birth and Phone Number alongside this
Transaction Pin Code (STV/442/383/0193), as soon as they see the
Transaction Pin Code, you will be directed to the Agent in charge of the
Account who will assist you in the Transfer Process of the Money and be
sure to ask them how much is the Account Activation Fee, the Account was
opened and Cash Money Deposited on the 4th of July 2013, also ask them to
show you proof of Cash Deposit on that day before you continue with the
Transaction, make sure you have received and verify the date on the Proof
of Cash Deposit Certificate, remember, the Cash was deposited on the 4th
of July 2013 (4/7/2013).

I hope this finds you in good health and I also Pray this Money brings you
more success and Peace of Mind as this is the only email you will ever
receive from me, it is up to you now.

Yours Faithfully,
Angelina Lawton.

Sadly there is no limit to human stupidity and someone probably will fall for it...I'd remove the email addresses and transaction PIN code from the OP just in case one of the incredibly stupid stumbles across it on here and decides to have a go.

Don't judge people as stupid - we're all stupid at different things! I know lawyers and doctors have fallen for these things, proof you can be very smart at one thing and not so great out of your own area :-)

OP, maybe post this up at scamwarners.com so more people can find it and hopefully save someone from falling for it :-)

I doubt the sort of people who would fall for it make a habit of visiting any scam warning sites. I think they are mostly set up to give visitors a good laugh.

Done already anyway - http://www.419scam.org/emails/2014-10/15/00063917.25.htm

Welcome to the internetz OP

ekco

I normally reply to those E-mail's by saying this seems like a very good deal, I will require you to send me sixty uk pounds to cover my administrative costs and then we can get the ball rolling.
Strangely they never reply :rotfl:

I'm just curious why these sorts of letters have random capitals strewn throughout the text.

Unfortunately, some people are that stupid...

A 32-year-old man has lost more than £130,000 in an internet scam involving Nigerian fraudsters. Police said the victim, from Portsmouth, was befriended online by a man posing as a woman in 2007.
He was asked for money to help the "woman's" dying mother and believed he also funded the funeral.
He then got emails from people posing as FBI agents investigating the scam, who duped him into funding trips to Nigeria so they could investigate.

Yes, people really are that stupid. Greedy and stupid, no less. If they weren't these people wouldn't send out these spam messages. My last one was from a Nigerian lady (I think that was the only part that was true) who told me that God had instructed her to contact me and I would be given £7.1m for holding some money temporarily in my account. Hmm, tempting, let me think about that.

I replied to one and gave them the phone number to the local police station. Mr P C Plod.

I did wonder if they ever tried to contact Mr Plod?

Could have been an interesting call.
