Nigerian money scam

(all comments are appreciated)

Original email:

Dear Sir,

Confidential Business Proposal

Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum a 25% share of $40,000,000 into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you.

Please reply urgently.

Best regards

Hello Sunday,

That is a lovely name you have, it reminds me of the day, Sunday. You are also quite handsome, like a young, black Timmy Mallett.

I have done the maths, 25% of $40,000,000 being $10,000,000, then converted into pounds being approximately £6,175,507.94, which sounds lovely, I will let you keep the 94p because you have been so helpful.

If I am going to be receiving millions of pounds I would like to know a bit more about whom I am dealing with, especially if I am going to be sending you my account numbers.

Thanks,
A. Rickson

Here is the review on the actual site. Although it's probably been deleted by now as it's apparently been reported about 10 times.

Edit: Review deleted after 16 reports :(

Hi there, I currently have a car that needs removing from my premises. The thing is, my son and I have some kind of little prank war going on and he's got me about 5 times in a row now, doing stuff like waking me up in the middle of the night for no reason so I get all pissy, and he destroyed my shed, which I loved. So to get him back I've decided to get his car removed, something which he loved.

I should be able to provide any further details needed.

Thanks,

Alex
