[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Of the 126 times in the past two days
I have been selected by some bogus Solicitor in Nigeria somewhere to
serve as the executor of some poor deceased devils estate (always
numbering in the millions-billions of dollars) I have never once
answered them. I am wondering what would happen if I did. I've had
many folks say these charlatans would try to pick me clean, getting
my bank deposit account numbers, my social security number, etc. And
some have suggested they (the charlatans) would send you a bogus
draft for several thousand million billion dollars to be deposited
in my bank account, which, surprise!, would turn out to be
counterfiet after I had endorsed/negotiated it and remitted proceeds
back to the Solicitor, etc.
Has anyone on the net ever played their game back at them? That is to
say, responded saying "I am so sorry to hear of my long lost relative
being deceased, how can I help you?" then milked them and toyed with
them as long as they kept playing back? I wonder what they would
say/do then? Let's say, a few typographical errors in your social
security number, your bank and credit card numbers, etc. Or maybe a
*l o n g* time before you remitted proceeds back to them less the
matter of your fees, of course. Naturally you do not withdraw five
cents of the 'money order' or 'bank draft' they use to pay you with
until *it* has cleared, in the unlikely event it ever does. I would
suggest you give it to your bank and ask *them* to clear it first
before they issue any credit to you. Above all, do not sign or endorse
it in any way. See if you can get any good, legitimate email or
street addresses for these fools before you get them on the run, of
course. So -- if there are any Sires or Madams in our audience today
who feel like playing along and milking Henry Castle, Solicitor at
Law for whatever he may be worth, have at it. Here is his Crock
for your examination and purusal. PAT]

Dear Sir/Madam,
FOR YOUR ATTENTION
I am barrister Henry Castle a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Mark Webb, a national of your country, who until his
death was an employee with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in
Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their three
Children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama
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 clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, 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 here where the huge deposits were
lodged. Particularly, Commercial Bank of Africa where the deceased had
an account valued at over $7million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within 14
official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating
their relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this
account valued at over $7million dollars can be officially and
promptly paid to you and then you and me can share the money. The
ratio of sharing shall be 45% to you and 50% to me, while remaining 5%
will take care of incidental expenses which shall be incurred in the
cause of this transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may to stand make. All I require
is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. For confidential
reasons contact me via my alternate email address:
henrycastle@tiscali.cz
Best regards,
Henry Castle Esq.
