Do you think I should go for it
I got this in my email, it seems like a pretty sweet deal. I think im going to go for it... seriously, what are the odds they find me out of millions of random emails?
I think if im going to make something out of this, i have to act fast. _________________________________________ To: URGENT TRUST FROM MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU Deputy Minister of Safety and SecuritySouth Africa Dear Sir/Ma, After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$3.5M ( Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) First, let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children and the Former Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy,Now Deputy Minister of Safety and Security under the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my profile at my website http://www.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066 After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy 1996 my husband Mr Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 2002. After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which mounted to the sum of US$3.5M with FINANCIAL INSTITUTE This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1998 to date. If they discover this money in his bank account,they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in government. I want your assistance in clearing this money from the Financial Institute.As soon as the fund is cleared, you are expected to move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments. For your assistance, I am offering you (Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email.Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, I would not WANT you to call me on phone or send a fax to me. All correspondence must be by email to my private email. If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is fine and okay b me. His chambers will b representing m interest with you. All correspondence must b made either t my Attorney,I will also like you t give m your contact address o telephone, fax and email t enable m Attorney call o reach you from time t time. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME!!, If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family. Yours faithfully, MRS.SUSAN SHABANGU Deputy Minister of Safety and Security South Africa |

Yeah. Sure, why not? There's far too many stories out there these days about people not falling for the classic 419 scam. What we really need is a story about someone who actually gets ripped off! There's just not enough of those anymore.

JT, you're an inspiration
I think I will go for it as well..I mean, there is an email addy and all...I am so excited about all the extra cash we are about to get!!!! I'm gonna quit my job..how about you? Good Day, I am Stewart Barculo a member of staff of Standard Life Bank Limited, 30 Lothian Road, Edinburgh EH1 2DH, United Kingdom. I sincerely apologize for the manner with wish I have contacted you, I know that the internet is unsecured for information’s of vital importance but I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means could have been faster and more efficient than the E-mail. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management seven years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In 2000, the subject matter; came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Fifty million united states dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf, I was the officer assigned to his case. Around 25th February 2003 the deceased told me he wanted the money in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week, this was the last communication we had, I waited and never heard from him then I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Standard Life Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France, we were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his funds. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. My proposal you share the same surname with our late client, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit, but on the other hand, you with the same very name as the original depositor would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim the funds. I am a family man; I have a wife and children, I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life, I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide my family with new opportunities. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and do not bother to respond, do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. Please don’t respond to this email if you find yourself not able to assist me, my private email is stewculo3@yahoo.com.hk Sincerely, Stewart Barculo. stewculo3@yahoo.com.hk

Gosh... maybe I should take him up on his offer... I mean, he wants to give all his money to charity... how sweet.
![]() From: MR.ISRAEL BROWN (israelbrown@myway.com) Sent:Fri 11/09/07 2:23 PM Reply-to:mrisraelbrown1@yahoo.com.hk Dear friend As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Israel Brown I am a merchant of Omani nationality but presently residing in London. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the Oman, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly,I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars 18,000,000 that I have with a Security Company in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you. Israel Brown
