My Nigerian ( Best "NEW" Friend ) Wants to give me ВЈ26,000,000...?

Mr Bumhunbumba, works as a Manager of the 'National Bank of Africa' ( N.B.A ) He tells me that I had a Great uncle by the name of "Mike Smith".Who sadly died in a plane crash. Mr Bumhunbumba tells me because he is the Manager of the 'National Bank of Africa' ( N.B.A ) He is very happy to inform me that my uncle had an account with him at the 'National Bank of Africa' ( N.B.A ) And that I am his only living relitive.

So the 'National Bank of Africa' ( N.B.A ) say that they have ВЈ26,000,000 in his account that I am entitled to. All I have to do is pay a handling fee of ВЈ5,000 to get this money.

Mr Bumhunbumba, says that he does not have to tell me this. He also says that as the Manager of the 'National Bank of Africa' ( N.B.A ) He could get this money for himself after 7 years, but because he is a Christian he feels that he has to do the right thing and make sure that I get the money.

I also have to send him my Bank details and the ВЈ5,000. via western union.

How do I do this?

Nigeria is notorious for scams. Don't ignore at your peril!!!!!

How long have you known this "friend"? This is a scam and this individual is attempting to take money from you. DO NOT provide him with any of your personal information and I would advise that you stop any further contact.

This is another Nigerian 419 Scam.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it's not !

It's quite simple, you just hit the delete button.

I had one of those only the person who died had hubby's surname......and it was some woman in a spanish bank.

I sent my letter to trading standards in case they needed to warn people.....

You must be the luckiest boy in the world... cor, I wish I could get in on the action!

I've had several scams like this sent to me. I always tell them that I have a investigator friend that live not to far from them and they will check them out to make sure this is for real. They will be calling on you soon. My friend traced down your IP address so he knows where you live. Thank you so much for contacting me . I can't wait to start spending all that money.

**** now I know it's a damn scam

DONT DO ANYTHING !!! no explanation needed hit the delete button real quick, this is one of the most common scams on the net and still people get caught.

Let me tell you about Nigeria, itвЂ™s a very poor country and the economy is not so good. The government of Nigeria does not help its people. There is no way that any one person in Nigeria has that kind of money. Do the research yourself. Because Nigeria is so poor and the people have no money in that country, they have taken to scamming people online. Now not all scammers are from Nigeria, some could even be your neighbour, but in this case the person clearly states he is from Nigeria and that is where he wants you to transfer the money 5 thousand pounds. This is how the scam works. The bate is 26 million pounds, that is what gets the victims every time, this scam seems to work for the victims who donвЂ™t realise whatвЂ™s going on. Now to get the 26 million out of the country the scammer is going to request an administrative fee to be able to transfer the money to you. LOL. This is the highlight of the scam. You lose 5,000 pounds and there never will be 26,000,000 pounds. This is a scam; do not wire them the 5,000 pounds, unless you are doing it for charitable reasons and you care about the well being of people from Nigeria. You would be better off investing your hard earned money. Ask your bank the best way to invest. Another thing is, do not send this person any of your personal information. There are various things that they do in their online scamming career. Have you ever heard of identity theft? Did you know if someone has enough information on you they could get credit cards or loans in your name? Yeppers! Another thing that these Nigerian scammers are well known for is the love scams, what better way to take your money, through your heart.. Type love scam in Google and you will learn all about it. Men get their heart broken and the women victims get blackmailed, um, never send nude pictures of youвЂ¦ Someone might start blackmailing you for money. The latest one that I know of is job offers, where they send you an email telling you that you got a new job offer and ask you to submit your personal information. We know what they can do with that information? Yeah; get loans in your name. You will be in debt and end up with bad credit. Imagine having bad credit? You wonвЂ™t be able to get a car or a house in your name or even an apartment to live in. You are allowed to check your credit for free once a year and more times if you are unemployed. So delete the email and play it safe online. MadDog, you shouldn't even reply to their email. Some of them are very good with computers and programming. Let me to you a story. I had someone break into my yahoo email before, even I could not break into my own email, cause I dont even know my own secret answer to the secret question, but these guys did and put a reply to email address in my mail settings, they did because yahoo messenger had a vulnerablity that was discovered by some other company and not yahoo, but yahoo wouldn't admit it. Anyway yeah, some of my personal information got out there.. you dont want to be responding to them, cause they can and will try to break into your email once they know it's a legitimate email address. That is why the people here are saying to delete these scam emails. If you want to investigate their ip, you can send a copy of the email to the FBI if you are in the US.There really isn't anything that the police here can do to them, remember these scammers are in another country and not in your jurisdiction, so they probably wonвЂ™t get charged or arrested.

It's a scam. After they obtain your ВЈ5000, it will be...

'Sorry, but who are you? You didn't give us no money.'

Here is what you do:
Take a piece of paper. Write "The Bank of the Republic of Zoxx promises to pay the bearer 5000 pounds". This will be OK, because he didn't say what kind of pounds to send. Your new account number at the Bank of Zoxx is 42 (but then again, so is everybody else's!).
Send him this info. He will be so thrilled, he will immediately write you back asking for more money. Just like he would if you sent him 5000 real pounds.

You're welcome!

PS: The Zoxx pound is almost worth as much as the Zimbabwe dollar!

That's wonderful, congratulations!

It really warms the heart to think that in this day and age someone can be so helpful and honest. This Mr Bumhunbumba sounds like a really lovely, genuine guy!

I'm sure if you send all your credit card details to him he'll be able to make the necessary arrangements.

you just have to go to africa and give it to him, "hopefully" he will give it to you......

and oh yeah........... YOUR A DOOCHE-BAG!
