Dear Sir,
PRIVATE AND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Greeting! I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please this letter is a request from a family in dire need of assistance. I am Mr. Mohammed Williams from Angola.The first and the only son of Brigadier Chanza Williams communicating to you from Johannesburg, South Africa.
I got your address from my random search at the net. And, I on behalf of my widowed mother Mrs. Bridget Williams decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$35.8 Million (Thirty five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), which he deposited in a safe box to private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In fact, my father said, and I quote: “My son, I wish to draw your attention to US$35.8 Million (Thirty five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). I deposited the box containing the fund in a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa as valuables. During the war, I was very committed and dedicated in winning the war against the rebels, until I found out that the senior army officers and government functionaries were busy helping themselves with government funds and properties, sending them to foreign countries. Due to this, when the former adviser to the president and I were assigned by the president (JOSE EDUARDO SANTOS) to purchase arms in South Africa, we saw this as a golden opportunity and diverted the money and share it, of which I got a total sum of US$35.8 Million (Thirty five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
In case of my absence on earth as a result of death, only you should solicit for assistance of a reliable and sincere foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited the box in your name and you can claim it alone with deposited code. Your mother is with all the documents. Take good care of your mother and your sisters.
From these words of my late father, you can understand that life and future of my family depend on this fund, as such I will be grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as political asylum seekers. Financial laws and regulations of the Republic of South Africa do not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence; I am seeking your assistance to transfer this fund out of South Africa for investment purpose. For your assistance, we are prepared to offer you 25% of the total fund while 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during this transaction.
Please note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and the major thing I demand from you is to assure me the safety of this money when it finally gets to you. Further information and arrangement commence as soon as trust confidence and good relationship are established. I shall be most grateful if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter.Please, confirm your interest through the above contact telephone numbers or email of my brother in London.
All response to [email protected]
Best regards,
MOHAMMED WILLIAMS.

It's 419 scams named after the penal code number for them in Nigeria.
These are not people to mess with so don't do it. There are people who do though as you can see in www.419eater.com . It's comical what they make these people do including getting embarrassing tatoos.

Some people have been stupid enough to go as far as going to Nigeria to collect their money after getting the shaft from these people.
They also go as far as using the mail for their scams. My wife got one in the mail and it was all that I could do to tell her that it was a scam and had to show her the website to make her believe me. No telling how many people have been suckered into this stuff and have found their life savings tapped from their accounts and then some.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Also, these people can be some revolutionary rebels with the intent of a coup d'etat (thats French that means government overthrow. Its literal translation is "blow of state").
Aside from taking your money, these guys could be way more violent and if someone is silly enough to actually go to South Africa and deliver them money directly, they risk being kidnapped and held for ransom (to add insult to injury, they of course would take they money the perso brought with him). They could see an American or other Westerner as a cash cow that their home governments would pay money to retrieve.

I replied to one of these clowns once telling him that I knew what a 419 scam was and even linked to the site shown above. He replied that it was not a 419 scam as he wasn't in Nigeria!
A lot of these come from here in the US as well as France and other countries.
We get a lot of these scams being tried right here in the RCU Marketplace. I caught one last week trying to buy all high-dollar boats, offering to have shipping arranged and all kinds of other "promises". If you ever see any of these, please report them and they will be banned ASAP. One that should throw up a red falg immediately are those that offer to overpay for the item and ask that you keep some of the money for your time and trouble and refund them the rest.

People have gone to africa to get their money back and were never heard from again.

and fyi these scammers also make money from submitting *ACTIVE* e-mail addresses to spammers.
so if you reply they know the e-mail address is valid and active. the best way to start getting spam is to reply to one of these mass e-mails.

Scambaiting rules. Make a fake hotmail acount and use it. I usually try to get them to book me a nice hotel room, which can be checked online.

Nope. You want to use Gmail (theres a few others, but Gmail is the best) because it blocks your IP address.

RE: Straing e-mail from some dude in africa
I have gotton calls at work for guys trying to buy trailers and have them shipped. They want to overpay for the shipping then I am supposed to western union the excess money to a "shipper" that the buyer has setup. Yeah right. Unfortunately a competitor up in portland fell for it and lost several hundered dollars. Just last week I got one emailed from my listing on craigslist for a mountain bike.
He said he wanted to be fair with me and pay an addl' $25 dollars, I had it listed for $625, so he could let it stay at my house because he was on business and out of town for a month or so. He wanted my address to mail the money to me. I emailed him and told him that was one of the lamest scams and gave him the old F/O. If he wanted to prove me wrong than he could email me with a number to get a hold of him, meet in a public place, and pay in cash. Needless to say he didn't email back. The funny thing is that listing was like 5 weeks old and he "wanted to know if I still had it". I bet there are many people that fall for that one as they get desperate to sell something that they haven't got much interest on. Good thing the RCU members are all perfect and honest and totally legit, lol. Joe
