Seems a 419 scammer sent me a private message here on Britnet to "help" them move $8.5 million into my bank account - righhhhhhhht.........
Anyone else getting these? In general, are people still falling for this?
You mean it's not true? Bollox.
I had a similar email sent to me some time ago and published it here on this site ..
Cant see why anybody falls for this sham but they must otherwise the senders would,nt keep sending it .
greed i suppose clouds their judgement
I also got that email yesterday and it referenced Nigel. I forwarded a copy to Nigel.
I actually had to convince a friend that the e-mail she had printed off and brought to show me was a scam!!
She was so disappointed.... roll
I wonder how many folks do fall for this.
I have not received any of these referencing Britnet, but every so often I get them from other sources. I delete them unread.
here is mine received today ....

Dearest,
Please look in to my proposal, and I deemed it necessary to write and inform you about my interest to invest in any viable venture in joint partnership with you. I am Miss (Sandra Kome) the first daughter of H.R.H CHIEF of DURUKA (ALHAJI .J. Kome) of (blessed memory) the ex- king of DANFO tribe in the easthern part of SUDAN. I am 22 years old.
On the 19th May, 2002 my Father was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically elected President of my country Sudan. Almost half of our palace was burnt. Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided the palace my Father married 4 wives with 16 children two of the wives, with my 3
brother where murdered in cold blood while my twine brother escape the incident with bullet wounds on his right leg, at the moment where the remaining families are I don't know their way about wheather they are alive or not. Right now I am left alone with only one brother since the sudden assassination of my Father my family has been displaced and totally disorganized
left with nothing.
That was how my Father was killed,Before the incIdent,I remembered that my late Father gave me some documents to keep for him as the first daughter of him, usual he told me in confidence that he deposited (8.5 million USD) in one of the prime bank in Abidijan Capital city of (Ivory-Cost) So I decided to go and search for the documents where I use to keep them I discovered the documents covering the deposit he made with the Bank and some other documents like his will and his business documents . As my town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangement with two peace keeping force to help me and my brother move out of the country, however we moved out of Sudan successfully, to (IVORY-COST) where we are now.
I have gone and confirm the deposit with the Bank in Abidijan Capital city of (Ivory-Cost) while all the documents are with me here. Now I wish to contact you as my foreing partner for investment in your country or enter into business venture as the country (Ivory-Cost) is no longer in peace since they conducted their Presidential election on the 22nd October 2000 the country has witness all sort of political unrest ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of innocent citizens and strangers, people are living in fear as the country is no longer that peaceful nation as it was before due to this reason that I have decided to contact you.
I therefore want you to help me in the following ways
1)To provide a fresh bank account which can be capable to carry this amount (USD 8.5M)
.
2)You are going to be a co-manager of this fund for five years in your country
3)You are going to procure admission for me and my little brother to study in one of the universities in your country.
4)N/B/ 15% WILL BE ISSUED TO YOU FOR ANY EXPENSES INCURED IN THIS TRANSACTION.
5)Please send me your phone and fax numbers for more information.
I will give you every other detail that will prove the genuinity of my plights, I am hopeful that God will touch you to be of this assistant. My intention is not to disturb your Peace, but because
Iam sincerely in need, and desperately need a solution.
Waiting for your urgent reply.this is my private Email Box (sandra_kome44@yahoo.com)
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards.
