WARNING: Please feel free to delete this post if any content is objectionable. This post is long. All account names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses provided by me are fake. The emails from Kevin Williams are his and are unedited and as he provided to me. For those that do not know the name I used Jerry Mathers is the “Beaver” from the show “Leave it to Beaver” aired in the 60’s I think. Basically I emailed some scammer over a period of about 4 months. This is some of the better emails he sent me and I sent back. It all started with the typical Nigerian scam letter as seen below.

ATTENTION; DIRECTOR/CEO.

I am an Accountant of the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) branch here in Lagos Nigeria. I
reliable got your contact from a reliable business man
that live in your country. I have no reason to doubt
your honesty and credibility hence I make this
proposal to you. Please, treat with confidence and
excuse me for the embarrassment this letter might
cause you as we have not met or known each other
before.
I have the mandate of my colleagues in office to
solicit for your assistance for a deal we want to
execute , my Corporation (NNPC) awarded a contract of
US$86,700,000.00(Eighty Six Million, Seven Hundred
Thousand U.S Dollars) to a Foreign firms to supply Rig
& Drilling Equipment for Kaduna Refinery here in
Nigeria but because of my position, this contract was
over invoiced to US$115,300,000(One Hundred and
Fifteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars). The original contract sum has been paid to
the contractors that executed the project, now we are
left with the over-invoice sum of US$28,600,000.00
(Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars Only).

All arrangements have been concluded on how this money
would be moved. Our constraints lie on the fact that
we required a foreign firm or individual account
number where the money will be paid into. whose owner
will be portrayed as a contract beneficiary of fund.
Infant this is why I am writing you this letter.
NOTE: There is no risk involved as we have taken care,
loopholes covered. As a civil servant, we are aware
that some financial assistance would be required to
conclude this job, we are prepared to give as much as
35% of the total sum of who ever that is willing to
assist, while 60% of the total sum will go for me and
my colleagues. To this effect, 5% would be earmarked
to cover all the expenses (Local and International).
This is because the process would pass through some
Directors in (NNPC) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
These officials might require some tips to facilitate
payment without delay since they are not aware of the
deal.

Please, should you be willing to assist, we shall
require the following information to enable us put
claim immediately. Your bank name address and account
number, Fax number of the bank where the money will be
transferred into.You would be required to meet face to
face with the official involved. But should you not be
in aposition to assist , this deal has to remain
asecret till the end of time. It is important I
mention that the officials involved in this
transaction are top Government Functionaries who have
put in years of service to this country. For the
maintenance of personal integrity and prestige of all
persons involved in this transaction. You are implored
to exhibit utmost security throughout the duration of
the transaction. You are strongly advise to avoid
discussing this transaction with a third party as that
could jeopardies the entire transaction.
You may open a separate bank account in any Country
for this purpose if you wish.
l has been properly organized and further action
awaits your immediate response. Hurry and send to me
the Account Number where the money will be transferred
into , so that we can start to process for the
approval of this payment. Please , send mail to me
direct

I look forward to hearing from you.
thanks and God bless
Best Regards
DR. KEVIN WILLIAMS

Kevin,

Thanks for the mail and I have not asked for any money
yet but if for any case there should be some tax on my
part or fees that means I will have to contact a
financing institution and/or a bonding agent until the
main transfer is made. Following is the information
you requested:

Dr. Jerry Mathers
400 W. 300 N.
Lafayette IN 47906
OG LTD Parnters, INC.
Paypal Bank account address [email]xxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com[/email]
1-900-583-7726

I will be expecting your response for more
deliberation.

Dr. Jerry Mathers

My Dearest Kevin,

Its been a few days since I have heard from you. I
was checking on how the transfer was coming. Please
let me know today because it is very important.

Thanks

Jerry

Keven,

I did forward the required information and I am
awaiting transfer of the money into my paypal account.
If you need a physical bank account and not and
internet account please let me know and we will have
to work out the arrangements.

Thanks,

Doc

Kivin,

I have not heard from you. It is very important that
you complete the transaction.

Doc

Krevin,

I had a very bad car accident a couple years ago that
took my family from me and left me in the hospital for
3 months. I have been financially destroyed because
of this accident. I went to some banks today to open
a bank account. Some of them would not talk to me
unless I settled my debt with them. The others wanted
a cash deposit to be held as collateral. Since you
are a wealthy man and executor of the 28,600,000.00
then you should be able to help me in obtaining said
bank account. The best option I have is a 950.00
deposit to open the account which is virtually nothing
considering after this deal you will make nearly
19,000,000.00 in profit. Let me know how you will be
sending the money.

Thanks,

Doc

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kevin,

I have received no response from you in a couple of
days now. It is very important that we complete this
transaction immediately. Further delays costs us both
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars per day in interest
alone. I look forward to your response.

Thanks

Doc

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kevin,

Time is of the essence my friend. It is extremely
important that we consumate this deal so we can both
be very wealthy people. Please let me know in the
next couple hours what your course of action is.

Love


Doc

Kevin,

Thanks for responding so diligently. I have just
spoken with my friend and we have concluded that we
will agree to let you use our good names to obtain the
money from the Central Bank of Niger. The cost to you
and your friend to use my good name shall be $3000.00
U.S. Dollars. You can make payment via Western Union
to Jerry Matthers using the same information you
stated below. I would prefer that you keep track of
all charges you inccur and I will do the same. We can
settle the charges after we both obtain the millions
of dollars form the bank. After all whats 3000
compard to millions? It is virtually nothing.

I eagerly await you response for more deliberations.

Doc.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Corbin,

I have not received payment. Please do not delay any
longer so we can consumate our deal.

Love,

Doc

That is great stuff, thanks for sharing. I worked in a directory assistance office for years, and it was unbelievable how many calls we got from potential "suckas" who wanted to verify the business they were going to give their life savings to was legit. It actually met my definition of a tragedy, as each sucka was greedy. After letting them know the company had no verifiable info, they still were begging for an address to send money to!

On a separate note, here locally, someone who was a victim of a Nigerian 419 scam, actually came forward to the police to present fake checks they had been asked to circulate within the US. Probably as close as it will get to catching the actual foreign scammer, but at least it did cost the criminals some resources

The only other scam I have received as an email within the past year was one of the paypal ones trying to get your login and password. I have not received any Nigerian ones in a long time other than responding back and forth with this idiot. From time to time we get a phone call scam in my office trying to get are copier number and a name so they can over charge us for paper though.

Sadly, there is not a whole lot you can do. Myfreind who is a cop just gave me tips to detect that kind of email. I have gotten my share of every scam email you can think of.my rule of thumb is if i don't recognize the address,off it goes to dead email land.
