Hello Everyone

I've just been reading posts on here and have really enjoyed them. I've decided to join here too as over the past few days I've been getting a few of these scam mails. This one came yesterday.
I'd love to string them along but I don't have the skills just yet. Anyone else had this scam mail.

Thanks
Betty

Dear Friend,
I am MR DIALO ABRAHAM the manager in charge of bill and exchange department BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (fifteen million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2004 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I decided to make it that 30 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for any expenses both of us made during this deal and 60 % will be for me and this 10% is for any expenses from your own side you make and from my own side I make during this deal, and when the fund is transferred we have to deduct the expenses we made from our pocket during this deal first before shearing the fund according to the percentages.
Then after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as I have lay med and noted that there is know risk involved ,you should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

THANKS
MR DIALO ABRAHAM .
B.O.A (BANK OF AFRICA )

Welcome to Eater Betty.

If you're using an anonymous email account and none of your real life details, respond with something benign and non-committal.

Thanks folks

Before I start, I just want to try to find some software to hide my IP address and country. Once I've done that then I'm going to give it a go.

Betty, set up a gmail account, that will suppress your IP address

Thanks for the tip Manbiteslion. I do have a gmail account already, but I'll create a special one for baiting purposes.

Cheers

Good stuff Smile

I strongly advise spending a bit of time reading the stickies, studying in the Eater University, etc., there's a whole wealth of fantastically useful info in there to get you excited!

Well I don't know if the lad has smelt a rat. I sent him a nice email couple of days back but he's not biting (not yet anyway).
Shame - I was looking forward to my first baiting session

Don't give up yet. I was baiting a guy for two months and then he stopped when I asked why the Australian Government was saying bad things about his country.

It took a few weeks, but he did respond to it. Plus some of baits don't go anywhere either. I have a fake dating account in 4ppl.com (I romance bait as a woman). If I checked it right now there'd probably be a hit or two in there
