Friday Humor Part 1 - The Reverse Nigerian Scam Email

Tyler Durden's picture




Best if read in the context of the "Nigeria gets out of Dodge" post from earlier.

Dear Nigerian Scammer,

 

 

 

I am a Greek Prince desperately trying to get my money out of the country but because of restrictions on the amount of money one can take out of Greece I'm worried my vast wealth will disappear when my country is booted out of the Euro.

 

I need you to let me transfer the sum of 38,000,000 Euro into your bank account as a matter of great urgency.  I am willing to pay you 75% of this deposit in return for your help.

 

If you agree to help, please send me your bank account details and your sisters vital statistics.  You will have to send me the transfer fees of 76,000,000 Euro or the bank won't put the money in your account.  Do this immediately, my terminal illness will prevent me completing the transfer if you don't send me all your money now.

 

Please hurry, my fortune is vaporising quickly.

 

Phillip.

What, you mean they're not real then?

Damn, and I thought I was personally sponsoring 423 orphaned families, 246,000 terminally ill old ladies and 567million terminally unemployed hard luck cases.

All of them living in ... California...

Oh, wait, I am...

Only 75%? Dallars or Euros? Or, are the funds underlain with Groupon Coupons?

Let me get back to you.

No way can this be genuine - if Prince Phillip was emailing a gentleman in Nigeria he would be bound to, err, put his foot in it, in some way. But let's not go there!

 Ficken eh - 75% - maybe he'd like to put it into US fiat $$$$$$

 How's the Nigerian currency doing today?

 Dollar is up against a basket of other fiat currencies.

 Could you have the Greek guy email me?

  ROTFLMAO
