jon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I ran into this several years ago. The house was for sale and they wanted me to mail a deposit to Nigeria and they would send the keys. Yeah... right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 It's hard for me to pick a favorite line, it's either "TAKE NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE BY AND SEE MY HOUSE FROM THE OUTSIDE " or "i pray everything works the way i have planed...."

Off_White Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I like that the cut-and-pasted info about the house lacks the grammatical innovation of the rest of the letter. I was a little surprised to find there really is a "American Red Cross Lutheran Hospital Donor Center", though it is in Ft Wayne IN rather than Seattle or Abuja. I'd assumed that was just an amalgam of quasi virtuous words strung together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denalidave Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have absolutely nothing to worry about Why would, could, should you worry when a fine, kind, generous christian doctor from abroad opens his beautiful home for next to nothing. You are so lucky! Some guys get all the breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraysovereign Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I got a "Nigerian Letter" last year... in the mail. Printed out letter, envelope addressed to me, postage stamp, return address, just like a proper letter. Apparently someone with the same surname died intestate, and I'm the only person they could find with the same name so they're going to send me the entire estate (minus administative fees, of course, but that's not unreasonable). I've still got the letter, but I think I've lost the envelope. I can't throw it away - take it out from time to time and puzzle over it. Whoever sent it is going to a fair bit of trouble and expense mailing out boxes of these things in hopes of getting a response from someone. I guess even the stupid people have figured out that the emails are junk, so now the scammers are resorting to sending actual letters in the hope they will seem more legitimate and thus suck in the people who are just smart enough to delete the email, but still stupid enough to reply to the letter.

akhalteke Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've been in that country and it is even worse in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The letters are retro, the way they used to do it. I got one 20 years ago, beautiful handwriting on an unusual brown envelope, I'm sure I still have it in a box somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
