the bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries.

The
contract has been executed,commissioned and the contractor waspaid the
actual cost of the contract. we are left with the balance
ofUS$20,000,000.00 as part of the over-invoiced amount,which we
havedeliberatelyover stimated, for our own I am contacting you to be
ourcustodian for this fund.

1. 20% for you (Account Owner)

Corporation {NNPC).This transaction is verymuch free from all sorts of
RISK and TROUBLE from my Government.

will come to your country to arrange for our share upon the

Tell them you want a cheque for $1000 to confirm their true intentions. They normally comply because they think they have successfully conned you!

On the way back from our snowboarding holiday last year we arrived at luton airport and there was bloke holding up a sign saying 'Jesus' of course this was hilarious to us as we hadnt slept the night before as the coach was picking us up at 5am.

Of course we knew it was hey-zeus but the picture of us standing with the man waiting for Jesus wouldnt have been quite so funny if the spanish spelt their names phonetically!

Anyway back to the Nigerian scammers, just play them along for as long as possible to waste their time, you've just finished your exams, youve got nothing better to do, not till monday anyway!

Ive spent the last few days stringing a suposed American who cant speak english very well along. They decided to buy my camcorder now and then send me fake paypal emails saying the money would be released when i sent them the tracking number, so of course i sent them a fake tracking number, i think they got the hint when i told them to be careful as i suspected someone may be conning them with all these fake paypal emails they were being sent!
