Hey all, I got this email today. I am going to be rich! Money for nothing!!

Mr. Adebayo Peters.
Standard Trust Bank Plc
Lagos Nigeria.



I am Mr. Adebayo Peters a Banker with Standard Trust Bank Plc, here in Nigeria.I am an account Officer to Mr. Gabriel Kline, from you country,who used to work with Shell Oil Development Company in Nigeria.

On the 30 Jan 2000, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in the kenya airways flight with registration number 5Y-BEN which departed from Nairobi to Lagos.Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by Standard Trust Bank Plc where this huge deposit were lodged.

Particularly, Standard Trust Bank Plc where the deceased had an account valued at about US$35Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the 6 weeks.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased to have the same last name so that

the proceeds of this account valued at US$35Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money. 70% to me, 25% to you and 5% for any expenses we might run into during this transaction.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me immediately as I do not have much time in my disposal.

Please copy your reply to (adebayo_peter001@yahoo.com) you can as well call
me on my direct number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Best Regards,
Mr. Adebayo Peters


So what do you all think? Like I didnt know.

Sounds like another Nigerian scam to me.
I would check with the Airlines to see if those flights existed, I would contact the bank listed and see if you could forward that email the the head hancho at the bank to see if this email is justifyable and if Mr. Kline in Nigeria did truely exist.

Sounds like they are just trying to get your bank information to me. I would be skeptical.

Take it from a person who has been involved in one of these Nigerian scams.

Create a seperate bank account with no money in it. Do much business with this guy, collecting as much info as possible. Try to turn the scam around on him.
