Attention

I am Mr. Itsuki Yo****omi Head of Account Dept. Bank of Tokyo
Mitsubishi, Japan. I am contacting you base on the disaster that
erupt my country, Fukushima, Japan .It happened that a credible
customer of my bank lost his life, entire family and property in that
disaster. My late customer left (US$21 Million) in his account. My
government is proposing bank account update for every account
holders in my country. Any account without living heir or claimant will
be send into the Government treasury. I do not want the funds to
be transfer into the Government treasury because it will also go into
the pocket of the individual in high Governmental position.

I am soliciting your attention to receive these funds on my behalf
as everything is under my power. My purpose of contacting you is
because my status would not permit me to do this alone. You have
to take it very serious and contact me with all manner of sincerity.

When you reply this message, I will send you the full details about
my late customer and the funds.

Thank you for your response.I am Mrs. E.

ailment,When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of 10.8 Million Great Britain
Pounds Sterling which was derived from his vast
estates andinvestment in capital market with
his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is
still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I have limited days to live due to the
cancerous problems I am suffering from.
Though what bothers me most is the stroke
that I have in addition to the cancer. With this
hard reality that has befallen my family, and me
I have decided to donate this fund to you and
want you to use this gift which comes from my
husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows,
widowers, orphans, destitute, the down- trodden,

and persons who prove to be genuinely
handicapped financially.

I'd never doubt a lawyer with a hotmail acount, that's for sure! :grin:

[Blacksmith1]

LOL! I didn't even look at that.

I seen a site where people post their conversations with these people, going along with the scam, but making fun of them along the way and sounding as winded and stupid.

Actually there was a belgian tv show called 'Basta' in which they recorded a bunch of these phonecalls etc. Quite funny really.
(They're the same people behind the video in which they block the entrance to a call center with a container from a fake company they made. They put a number on it of their own 'callcenter' and made them go through all the classic crap you get when calling one of those to get the container away :grin:)

Hah yeah I actually just seen that video yesterday. They were fed up with the bad customer service so they did the same thing to that company.
