Now this is some freaky spooky kinda SPAM......
This is an official notification of the availability of a package deposited in
your name and it is not a sales solicitation or SPAM.

valuable packages and baggage in trust for reputable clients that are honest and

we have earned a name as a service whose hallmarks in reliability and
confidentiality are revered.

International missions, Fellow Diplomats and Embassies of the world have used
our services to satisfaction.

A benefactor whose identity can not be disclosed because of the Non
Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement that was signed with the said
benefactor when the packages were being deposited made you the beneficiary of a
package containing some amount of money and stated clearly that you should only
be contacted when the time signed for it to be in our care elapses and the time
has already elapsed that is why you are being contacted.

The Non Circumvention and Non Disclosure Agreement signed with the benefactor
mandates us to fully divulge and disclose the benefactor's identity 18 months
after the beneficiary has received the funds.

Cell Phone Number.

Complete the above and send back to me as soon as possible.

5. Nigerian Scam website
http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/


The Nigerian Scam Defined
A Five Billion US$ (as of 1996, much more now) worldwide Scam which has run since the early 1980's under Successive Governments of Nigeria. It is also referred to as "Advance Fee Fraud", "419 Fraud" (Four-One-Nine) after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria, and "The Nigerian Connection" (mostly in Europe). However, it is usually called plain old "419" even by the Nigerians themselves.

The Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax, email, or letter often concerning Nigeria or another African nation containing either a money laundering or other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and Legitimate business proposal by normal means. Common variations on the Scam include "overinvoiced" or "double invoiced" oil or other supply and service contracts where your Bad Guys want to get the overage out of Nigeria; crude oil and other commodity deals; a "bequest" left you in a will; "money cleaning" where your Bad Guy has a lot of currency that needs to be "chemically cleaned" before it can be used and he needs the cost of the chemicals; "spoof banks" where there is supposedly money in your name already on deposit; "paying" for a purchase with a check larger than the amount required and asking for change to be advanced; fake lottery 419; and ordering items and commodities off "trading" sites on the web and then cheating the seller. The variations of Advance Fee Fraud (419) are very creative and virtually endless.
