30k Offered

I just want to see if anyone can check in on this to see if it's legit. The words "due diligence" are usually a bad sign...


From: deal@aaadlimited.com

Dear Sir,

Having concluded our due diligence, it is my pleasure to inform you that the management of AAA D Limited (on behalf of Mr. Nicolas Foster) is in favour of investing in 1337 Electronics.

Please refer to the attached file for our terms/conditions for this investment.

I'd be glad to address your questions or concerns with regard to the proposed investment.

Yours truly,
Gordon Stewart (Deal manager).

...plus, they cannot even conduct due diligence unless you're giving them financial information to evaluate.

What comes around, goes around, and I hope its jail time for them.

I get a lot of south African scam mail. This only began since I started my blog, probably due to my email being publicly displayed.

These are really quite obvious...

ie.

"FROM Dr. Kimbore
The accountant general.
B.O.A

ATTN : Prospective partner,

A CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL
I'm the accountant General of the bank of Africa Ouagadougou, Burkina faso .I discovered in a DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT favoring a foreign customer , the floating sum of US$15,000,000 (fifteen million Us dollars).

Available record reviewed that the floating sum belonged to a GERMAN citizen named Mr.ANDREAS SCHRANNER who died in a plane crash with his entire family .He has no next of kin knowledgeable to the existence of this fund.

Visit the web-site as posted dated .
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

What you are required to do implicitly is to put up an application to the bank as his nominated next of kin by his extended family in GERMANY which is a workable approach irrespective of your Nationality hence ,you will stand by the power of such nomination as his cousin resident in where you are today to claim this fund into your account for both of us.

I shall give you 30% in respect of your account provided for the transfer and any little expenses uncured during the period of the reclamation process.

My proposition is not mandatory hence, you have the latitude of choice which is clearly stated from the outset.However, this proposition is a remunerative one as its indispensable advantage is inestimable if viewed from a vantage point.

I'm optimistic that your indulgence will incredibly usher in success if vividly pursued to a glaring levels.We must aschew flippancy and maintain exceptional confidentiality to an extensive degree which is an explicit condition demanded to succeed ina transaction of this magnitude.

You should not entertain any form of trapidation because this transaction is hitch free to be precise and is capable of bringing us gretification.

I will inform you further in your acceptance and positive response.

Regards,
Dr.Kimbore"

I get these almost twice a week from such names as : umaru zongo and ali_ usman

Oh yea and a new one came in: LOTTERY BOARD scam.

Great question! Why are people wretched?

The more time I spend dealing with business/legal issues the more interesting this question becomes

There seems to exist the idea of rational wickedness

Put simply, in entrepreneurship, illicit/unethical conduct attracts greater market rewards than "playing it straight", and the rational choice for rational people tends to be one of declining morality

When you start a business, you come out a very diffrent person to who you were when you first went in.
