I've never thought of corresponding with one of these scammers but here's a guy who does. This is some of the funniest stuff I've read in a long time. Haven't had time to read all of them but I especially like "Tales of Okut".
The man who writes back to Nigerian scammers:

After a brief break, the Nigerian scammers are on the rise again, being a little more creative in their approaches for your banking info...maybe they took to heart my advice to come up with some new ideas?

Also there is a web site dealing with these types of frauds ~

I had some fun with such a scammer named Louis a few months back...he addressed the first email sent to me like this "Dear President Bush, I would like to come to your country and help you fight your enemies" (got to give the guy brownie ppoints for tickling the funny bone  )...after exchanging several emails back and forth, I waited patiently for his plea for money and sure enough after he was assured I was a good Christian he asked for money to help his sick child. I sadly informed him that I just gave all my money to the poor as the only thing I need in life is my bible.
Never heard back from "Louis"...wonder why?  |

This is the tenth one I have had in three weeks.
ATTN:
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is
by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and 'top secret'.
We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are
interested in importation of goods into our country with funds which are
presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this business, we solicit
your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped
funds.
The source of this fund is as follows: During the last Military Regime here
in Nigeria, the Government officials set up companies and awarded themselves
contracts which were grossly over- invoiced in various ministries. The
present government set up a Contract Review Panel and we have identified a
lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central
Bank Of Nigeria ready for payment. However, by virtue of our position as
civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire
this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated by my other
colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account
we would transfer the sum of US$21,500,000.00 [Twenty-One Million, Five
Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars]
Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus:
1. 20% for the account owner you
2. 70% for us [ Myself and other members of my panel ]
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses
direct or incidental to the execution of this transaction.
It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the
transfer latest Ten (10) banking days from the date of the receipt of the
following information,companys name, Address, Telephone and Fax number.
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job
description respectively. This way we will use your company's name to apply
for payment and re-award the contract in your company's name. We are looking
forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in
this transaction.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above Email address.
I will bring you into the complete picture of this, pending project when
I have heard from you.
Remember this is a Deal so treat with utmost confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
Badmus Obaseki

Dr FRANCIS S.MBOMAM
TEL / 27-83-5675119
Private email addresses: sontombomamza@rediffmail.com or
smbomamza@rediffmail.com.
My Dear Partner,
I am Dr.Francis S. Mboma, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am
an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Mining &
Natural Resources affiliated (created ) to the Department of Minerals and
Energy. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you
for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to
Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that
a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at
the Government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave
your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I plea to seek a confidential
co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Hereunder for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret
because of the nature of this transaction.
Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an
Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of two other top officials,
we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Forty - Five
Million, Five Hundred And Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ($45,560,000.)
which we
want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are
handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code
of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your
importance in the whole transaction.
This amount $45.560m represents the balance of the total contract value
executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which
we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract
cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the
tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to
remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will
provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in
South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former
contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that, should you
be willing to assist us in this transaction that is 100% hitch free, your
share of the sum will be 25% of the $45.560 million, 70% for us and 5% for
taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on
your part provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of
specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above Tel
number or
my e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you
are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out
this deal I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a
position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give
us a very strong
Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember
to treat this as very confidential because, we will not comprehend with
any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and
remember once again that time is of the essence in this business.
I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.And you can also
reach me with this private email address:francismboma@nescape.com
Yours faithfully,
DR Francis Sonto Mbomam

Dear Sir,
SUBJECT: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
With full confidence I do hereby contact you in a bid for the claim of an unclaimed sum of
Twenty five million US dollars belonging to one of our Foreign deceased customers, Eng.
Alexander Jefferson in our branch office here; I have decided to contact you following the
impressive information I have, through one of my friend's who assured me of your
capability and reliability to be of trust in this business Transaction. We would want you to
stand as the beneficiary or the next of kin, to this fund for its claim. Hence for over 12years
nobody has come for this fund and we don't want this money to go into the Government
treasury as unclaimed Bill, as it have been declared in our own bank.
We are going to prepare all the documents to cover this fund into your account as
"LOAN" from our bank or "INVESTMENT FUND"so as to protect it from suspicions. We
have decided that 30 % of this money will be for you as our foreign partner, in respect
to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred on the
course of transfer and 60% would be for me and my colleagues.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged and upon the
receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of application for claim
which you will send to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should
not entertain any atom of fear as all arrangements have been made for a smooth transfer.
Do call me for more details, which will be made to you on my subsequent mails.
Anticipating your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Martin K. Mills.
Unclaimed property Department,
African Development bank ADB.
