| 605042 | 2007-10-25 19:57:00 | Nobody seems to have realised what the good doctor is up to. He will send you the money, not too much doubt about that and then you will be asked to move it on with, if you're lucky, a commission. If you have not heard of money laundering before, you certainly have now. The commission would come in two parts: your reward, in cash, and your stretch when caught - and you will be caught! The people who run our banks are not silly. They recognise that the large amount of money that has just been deposited in your account (from a mysterious overseas account) cannot be legitimate. One guess tells you which police department they will be having words with! I know that you are not silly enough to fall for the good doctor's scam (his is one of many) but perhaps you may not have realised that he was trying to launder his ill gotten gains. Pity you're not having anything to do with it, eh? | Roscoe (6288) | ||

If you have not heard of money laundering before, you certainly have now . I don't think so Roscoe, this is not money laundering, it is an "advance fee" or "409" scam . The good doctor has no money, or at least none from the source claimed, but he probably has substantial deposits from suckers who THOUGHT he had money . This is simply another classic "Nigerian" scam in which, once they hook you, they will ask for various sums of money to "facilitate" the release of the promised cash, all accompanied by very plausible explanations as to why they can't front up with the money themselves . You must have been hiding behind a door somewhere for the last 10 years to have not recognised this for what it truly is . Google "409 scam" as Dr Billy suggested and you will see the light . Before the rise of email they used to come as faxes and I had a very nice collection of them at one time . The success statistics for these scams are good enough for them to be a major contributor to Nigeria's externally generated income from foreign exchange, hence their government's reluctance to crack down on them . Look that up too . Cheers Billy 8-{) :waughh: |
