Message: From the desk of Mr.carlos Hormigos Bill and Exchange Manager. Date:16th Dec.2007. Private Email:carloshormigos722@Yahoo.com ATTENTION:Tony Jones I am Mr Carlos Hormigos a staff of Banco Banesto Madrid Spain. I have confidential business proposal I want to do with you. I decided to contact you based on you bear the same surname with the depositor Mr Lauren Jones.There is this business opportunity here in our bank, there is an abandoned sum of $9m US dollars (Nine million US dollars) that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his family on 25th December 2003 in a motor accident along Barcelona express road with his wife and two children. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money which he deposited in our security deposit safe vault. The management has been searching for a relative or member of the family to inform them about this deposit. But up till now we have not been able to trace any members of this family. The management can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guideline but unfortunately I leant that all his family died alongside with him at the car accident leaving nobody behind for the claim. Since you have the same surname with the deceased customer you can easily make this deal with me, I will assist you locate for a well known respectable Attorney here in Spain who will stand on your behalf to get every proof document which will help you to claim this money as the next of kin. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you so that you will apply as a relation to the deceased customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasuryas unclaimed funds or declared to the government of Spain which they will confiscate it. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and it will be better for you to stand as a relation to the customer. My colleagues and I here in the bank is the only people that knows about this transaction, we agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account , while 60% would be for my colleagues and I here in the bank. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of these funds to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your application for the withdrawal of these funds to your nominated bank account. When responding Ineed your private telephone and fax numbers for easy and effective communication. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the next of the application .I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is a hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. Trusting to hear from you immediately thank you. Best regards. Mr.Carlos Hormigos.

I am right in the middle of scamming a scammer now. I has a car listed on ebay- it sold within hours of listing it,as soon as it sold ebay sent me a notice warning me that the buyer was likely a scammer. Turns out they were right. He started in with the ole " sending extra for the shipping please western union the balance " so I decided to play along. It has actually been pretty entertaining. I finally got the check today- it actually looks pretty good- Wriiten on a bank in wisconsin. The buyer was suposed to be from california- the check was mailed from UK and the bank is wisconsin and the remitters last name is munoz. lol -- You would have to be completly stupid to fall for this- I really laid it on them thick in my emails thanking them for there purchase as I was in dire need of the money to feed my family etc..,It didnt phase them. So at this point there out a couple bucks to send the check and alot of time fooling with me. I think I will tell them the check was damaged and see if they will send me another one before I drop the bomb and tell them they been dooped.

Dave, You are going to cash the check aren't you? The reason I ask is my brother in law is George Munoz and he is on a business trip in England. He told me about the purchase and since he is traveling the next few days, he would like you to wire his money to me so he could pick it up when he returns...

well scooting this must be your cousin in law then because it is Manuel alejandro munoz, of course I am gonna cash the check. .its Christmas I need the cash!! haha -- In one of the first emails I really thanked him for being so trusting of me to send him the extra money. I told him it was nice to do business with someone so trusting because there was so many scammers out there. haha--- He replied with more western union instuctions..I think it cost him about 2 bucks to mail the check. I got all of my ebay fees back...I am winning so far...
