Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: assistance
This is referred to as the Nigerian Scam. I really hope that you did not beleive that these were *actual* officials. Funny (or may NOT). but some people have actaully fallen for this scam.
They ask for money to setup up accounts etc, then they clean them out......
There are whole websites on this,

Subject: RE: assistance
I haven't had this recently.
I can't believe the number of government officials out there who covertly
email people out of the blue with fantastic offers of wealth.
I've been contacted by deposed leaders, heads of government departments and,
on one occasion, a king who needed my money to help him recover the throne
of which he'd been cheated. When he was properly enthroned he was going to
shower me with the kind of riches only seen in pirate movies.
I always feel that was a chance wasted. I could have been a Maharajah by
now.
Yes, I got lots of this kind of old bollocks.
Cheers,
Mike
