$2,200,000 Us That Is

[strawberry]

Hi All,

About 10 days ago I receive an e-mailfrom one Mrs Betje Willem Promotions Manager from Goldmine Sweepstakes Lottery in Amsterdam Netherlands. This was congratulating me on winning $US2,200,000. Now I didn't buy a ticket in any lottery, apparently, she says my e-mail address was pick out from somewhere. I don't know how that is done.

I was given 7 days to start the process of claiming the prize and should start this by contacting [email protected]

After about 5days My curiousity/greed/need got the better of me and I sent an e-mail to derrick etc. Derrick Frans is said to be Foreign Service Manager at Virtual Securities and FinanceLtd 21b Eggerrst Raat NN 102 amsterdam NL.

I guess most of us have received those scam letters from Africa offerring to share millions of dollars with us in return for our bank account numbers, so I was suspicious of this lot.

Within a day I receive a lengthy e-mail from Frans telling me to contact the website www.vsecfinance.com to obtain an application form and also suggest I go to www.goldminelotto.com for further info. (come on in).

You got to know what I'm thinking ,like this only happens in fairy tales and perhaps my Higher Power is finally answering my prayers.

I send in my application form (fingers crossed).

Next day I receive an answer and my $US2,200,000 will be sent to me with in the next couple of days and how do I wish to receive it, by certified cheque or TT. A minor heart attack occurs. But then before I can receive the money I must send to them the equivalent of 5850 euros via Western Union Money Exchange and that should be sent to Mr Paul Addams at Virtual Securities.

What do you think I should do send in the money and become unhappily rich or or stay miserably poor.

I sent friend Frans an e-mail suggesting he keep the 2,000,000 and just send me a certified cheque for 200,000, Answer came the next day ''its against the rules''

I have all the e-mail concerning this so I not bulling you. One other thing I also contacted the Netherlands Embassy but they didn't seem to be interested.

Regards Poor old Joe

This scam has been around for a long time. Drop it immediately, and don't even THINK of sending anyone any money.

[NedKelly]

Offer to pay them 50,00 euros after they send the money. What a croc of shit. Some people have sheep brains !!

[jayrockwell]

I'll give you the full 2.2 million. AND I'll only require 1000 euros up front.

[maerim]

This has been done to death.

A woman in the U.K. handed over the best part of £250,000 before her family stepped in and put the block on.

Most of these originate from Canada but I am not proud so if you are feeling philanthropic you can send me the money instead then you at will know it's going to a good cause.

[megashox]

Congratulations!

You must have won the 2nd prize, because I got an e-mail from their head office in South Africa informing me that I won US$ 2,700,000.

[Wash]

Reply to the email and tell them that they should deduct their portion before sending your winnings via special courier and private jet which they can also deduct from the winnings before delivery.

[Bad News]

Okay but I sent of my 5,850 euros and

Received the certified check by courier

only 3 days later. Check cleared the bank

and I was quite happy with the service.

My prize was USD1,800,000 which I deposited

and have spent some. I have paid some tax

but everything else OK.

If you like I could handle it for you.

Only $2.2 mil? How about this one for $5 mil:

MR. JEFF OBED.

DBSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA,

9TH FLOOR, HEERENGRACHT TOWER,

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA.

EMAIL: [email protected]

Attn: The President/CEO

I am Mr. Jeff Obed, Provincial Manager DBSA Bank of South Africa, Capetown, Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 1999, a foreign mining consultant/contractor with the South Africa Mining Corporation, Mr. Richard Moss made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr. Richard Moss died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Richard Moss did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$12,500,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to South African Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Richard Moss so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for processing and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address: [email protected] Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: [email protected]

Thanks and regards.

Mr. Jeff Obed.

[ChiangMaiThai]

Okay, I'd really hate to see you, the winner, go without your prize. I've spoken with Mr. Batsarai Pundafeni, the European Branch manager and this one time only I am able to reduce the processing fees to just 500 Euros. I urge you to collect your prize immediately!

[Crash999]

But then before I can receive the money I must send to them the equivalent of 5850 euros via Western Union Money Exchange and that should be sent to Mr Paul Addams at Virtual Securities.:

This is of course a scam, the same as usually run by the Nigerians (who will ask for the money for court/paperwork processing fees and/or a gesture of good faith by the recipient).

Rather than drop it outright, you should keep suggesting interesting ways of getting around sending the money up-front- just to see what they say.

Tell them you contacted a lawyer who can hold the 5850 euros in escrow until the 2.2m has been wired and your advising bank has issued receipt of the payment. All lawyer fees will be paid by you, and the lawyer will arrange for them to borrow against the pending escrow payment for any fees that may be associated with the transaction. In the meantime, he has requested full documentation regarding the payment to certify the authenticity of the win.

hmm I also won the main price in the same lottery, I didn't follow up though because I'm not willing to leave my bed for anything below $3.000.000.

What about this; offering people consultancy jobs at the other end of the world, salaries extremely high. You only need to transfer $800 for the workpermit. This scam originates in the number one scamcountry in the world.
