Do people still fall for these Nigerian e-mail scams or are the scams just floating around the internet rudderless like so much flotsam following a Carnival cruise?
Assistance/Partnership. Dear Sir/Madam, In our search for a trustworthy individual to work with us on a very important and confidential project,we came across your esteemed profile. My name is Paul Kube,a principal executive officer in the audit department of the amalgamated bank of South Africa(ABSA) here in South Africa. During the yearly preliminary in-house auditing of accounts,I discovered an account opened in 1996 and since 1997 has remained dormant which means that nobody has been operating it up till date. The total amount in this account is $18.6m less accrued interest.
So it looks like I have very little to worry about in the financial department for the rest of my life! (as soon as I secure the $18m by sending these guys a paltry $2,000!)
