FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER BROWN CHUKWUDI
BROWN % BROWN CHAMBERS
ADDRESS 182 OLUWA STREET IKEJA
LAGOS NIGERIA
E-MAIL:brown_chukwudi111@yahoo.com
Dear Vega,
I am Barrister, Brown Chukwudi a legal Practitioner. I was the Personal
Attorney and legal adviser to Mr. Robert Vega, a national of your country,
who used to work with Mobil oil Company Nigeria Plc.
On the 21st of August 2000, my client, his wife and their only son were
involved in a car accident along Shagamu Express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's
extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet,
but to no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had a deposit valued at about Ten
Million,Three hundred and Twenty Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Five United
States Dollars(USD10,320,645), has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin to my late client or have the account frozen and the fund forefeited to
the government treasury by the end of this financial year.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased,since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this
account valued at USD10,320,645 can be paid to you.
Thereafter,you and me will share the sum paid to you in the following
ratio:65% to me and 30% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or taxes, as
your Government may require.I am in a position to provide all necessary
legal documents that shall be used to back upthis claims,and all I require
is your acceptance and yourhonest Cooperation 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.
But to indicate your interest please send the following information.
{1}.CONTACT ADDRESS
{2} FULL NAME
{3} PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER
{4} YOUR AGE AND YOUR OCCUPATION
Please get in touch with me through my
email.brown_chukwudi111@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Brown Chukwudi.
PLEASE MY DEAR FRIEND REPLY THROUGH THIS
BOX:brown_chukwudi111@yahoo.com
May 'the Google' be with you!
Some of the stuff on those 419 busting sites is hilarious!
That reminds me, I was selling some stuff online recently.
I only got two hits, both scammers.
So I told both of them to contact me on my alternative email address and just swapped the emails over. Then plonked them both in the kill file.
I just hope they wasted plenty of time trying to out-do each other before they figured out what had happened.

Dutch police run regular operations against these scammers.
Yes, some of them do operate from here, but they're not locals.
They're (mainly) Nigerians living here who act as a front for Nigerian criminal gangs.
Of course it's not just Nigerians, but criminals from many parts of Africa and eastern Europe.
But the majority operating out of the Netherlands? No. Just the ones that get caught (the Nigerian and most other governemts where they originate don't do anything against them).

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
