Nigerian Fraud Email Gallery
A rich harvest of criminal creativity from my (and others') email
Nigerian Scam Letters: 540 different examples!By date received, with names of supposed senders, country where the
money is supposed to have originated, and amount. Many duplicates omitted.
Many of these emails have been reformatted for readability; the
recipient's email address, and all angle brackets or HTML tags were removed.
All of the other email and postal addresses, phone numbers, etc., are as
given in the email, but be warned, do not attempt to contact the
perpetrators!. They are ruthless and violent criminals.
How does the fraud work? The bait is the fictional millions of dollars
described in each one of these letters. The goal is to get you to come
up with money for the "expenses" required to transfer those millions to
you. The victim thinks, a few hundred or a few thousand dollars is
trivial when $31 million is at stake. Each demand for more money is claimed
to be the very last obstacle before the big money is released.
Sometimes, the victim is lured to Nigeria, where even worse things happen.
How did they get my email address? Exactly the same way all spammers
get your email address. Spammers "harvest" email addresses mentioned on
web sites. Others run "dictionary attacks" ? programs which query mail
servers if they have an address AAA100, AAA101, AAA102, etc. That's why
you get tons of unsolicited commercial email even if you've kept your
email address a secret. And spammers sell each other CD's with millions
of addresses. Remember that practically all spam email is fraudulent
anyway, so there is no reason why sellers of pxxxx enlargement pills and
vinyl siding wouldn't sell lists of email addresses to Nigerian
scammers.
Why is it called "Nigerian Fraud"? Regardless of the country or
countries mentioned in the letter -- even countries located outside of Africa
-- the fraudsters are usually Nigerian.
