I just received the following Nigerian money scam spam note:
RE: TRANSFER OF US$10,500,000.00 AMERICAN DOLLARS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT
From: richardogbaru at tiscali.co.uk
Dr. Richard Ogbaru
Abuja - Lagos.
They offer me 20% of the $10.5M for letting them use my account for the
transfer.
How does one of these scams work with $10.5M? If I was stupid enough to
play along and allowed the transfer of said amount into my account, would
my bank actually not raise an eyebrowe. If not when the tranfer came in,
surely they would say something when I tried to pull such a large amount
back out of my account? I can see them overlooking $1000, but $10.5
million - my bank would have to balk.
Just curious.
MAC: 20% of $10.5M is enough to buy several parts cars to support my Type
44's and build a nice air conditioned garage for them while I took an
extended vacation in Mexico.
