My quest for 419 Art

[MacroGuru]

The thread that cthomer5000 posted here has me looking to try and get some 419's to send me some African Art, and why not.

So I have set up, my fishing account, and started the hunt.

The Carver Foundation is a great foundation that is dedicated to helping out young artists connect with money.

Since the 419's have the money or the art, I am going to try and play a couple off of each other here.

I have posted the address at several guestbooks that are set for the 419's to scam off of.

[MacroGuru]

Alright the first one has come in, and I have won the lottery......


Now, I am thinking I am going to approach it this way, obviously they are going to want my bank account information, I am going to goad the representative into sending me a check for the amount of 2,000,000 (I know it will be a fake one) with the promise of me splitting %50 of the funds to him, which I will wire back to him via Western Union, my trophy on this will be the fake check....

He has yet to respond to my question about the fax, I am in the process of working on some of the "additional documentation" that might be requested for Jimmy Crackcorn.....

[MacroGuru]

Nothing from Duncan, but I am going to provide him with the form filled out today...but first, I must do an IP trace to find out where he is from....

The 2nd email comes from a Dr none the less....

From The Manager Credit and foriegn Bills
Absa Bank South Africa
Harfield, Pretoria South Africa.
Tel: 0027 721 553 182.

Attention: Sir/Madam,

My name is Dr. Charles Mofe the manager,

Credit and Foreign bills of ABSA BANK SOUTH AFRICA. I
am
writing
inrespect of a foreign customer of our bank
with
account number -908-
14-255-114 whose name is Cho
Kwiyoung(Mr.),
an American citizen who
died in a plane crash[Korean
Air Flight 801] with the whole
passengers
onboard on August 6,1997.And for your
perusal you
can view thisweb
site

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list




Since the demise of this customer, I personally has
watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no
onehas come to
claim
his funds of US$15.5M (Fifteen Million Five
Hundred
Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with
our
branch for a very long time. On this note,
I decided to seek for whom
his nameshall be
used as the Next of Kin as no one has come up as his
next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not
allow such money to
stay more than Ten years,
because the money will be recalled to the
bank
treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.

In view of
this I got your contact through a trade
journal when i was making a
research on a
foreigner i will use in this great opportunity. For
your
assistant I am willing give you 20% of the total
amount. Upon

the receipt of your response, I will send you by
fax or e-mail the
letter of application which
you will type sign and send back to our
bank to
enable us start this processing of this claim.I will
not
fail
to bring to your noticethat this business is
hitch
free and that you
should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for the smooth and
easy
transfer of this fund has been finalized, this
transaction will
be complited within five
banking days of recieving your response,
after you
apply to the
bank as a relation to the deceased.

When
you receive this letter. Kindly
send me an e-mail to
[email protected] or
call me signifying your decision.

Please
include your private Tel/Fax numbers for
quick communication .


Yours Sincerely,

[MacroGuru]

And the Dr will be dealing with the CFO of the Carver Foundation....John Schwimmer

Dear Dr. Charles Mofe,

I would like to thank you in regards to contacting us in regards to helping you with the estate of the late Cho Kwiyoung. I firmly believe that the Carver Foundation would be able to help out, the interesting thing here though, is my bride, she is Korean. I actually ordered her from one of those internet bride sites, so when I was speaking of this to her, she was saddened by the loss of all the life, but made happy by the fact, we could help you out.

Please provide the details you need in regards to this.

Sincerely,

John Schwimmer
CFO
Carver Foundation

[MacroGuru]

As for the Lottery emails, I think I will hold off for right now, 2 fish on the line, should provide for some fun.

Oh, and I am looking to be particularly brutal to our good Dr, for using the Korean passanger list..

[MacroGuru]

And the fish has bit...

Mr. Lopez, the president of Carver Foundation is now going to try to land this one. Muffit appears to want to talk, so what I am going to do is set up a Skype account, that way, he will not have my personal contact information, and I will pretend I can't hear him, so he will have to yell through the head set, at me....see if he will do it, in an Internet Cafe from Nigeria.....

Attn: Mr. George Lopez
Good morning.
I receive your reply to my proposal concerning transfer of $18.5miiloin through your personla/organisation bank account, yes I & my colleague want to transfer the aforesaid sum for safekeeping in a foreign bank account then when we retire or resign from active civil service, we come over to your country meet with you and share the company as we may agree.

It pertinent to let you know that the money has no any problem, it is legal and there no dispute attached to the fund, however, the money accrued from BEE and the aforesaid is over invoice amount which it is only me and my colleague that know about it, but because of our position as civil servants, we cannot have such amount in our account or in cash hence my letter to you to act as our facilitator to effect the transfer of the money and take home 35% of the total fund, please indicate interest of stakeholder so that I can give you all the procedures/modalities.

Please send to me your direct telephone and fax numbers and tell me time to call you for us to discuss on the matter to our confidence, in order words you can me on my pvt tel/ + 27 783 568 358

Mr. Muffit Aclu.
