Email Hoaxes and Frauds-Mulieka Keita from Ghana has $18.7M
It's nice to see a discussion on this here. A few months back I had one of these emails in my inbox and decided to play along. The entire transcript is available at the link below.
It does make for some good fun reading.
You're saying IM? We had these guys give us cell phone numbers and calling us in the middle of the night :)

How many times have you found emails in your inbox from some poor old lady in some remote part of the world pleading for help. And how many times has she gone further and said her late husband left her a lot of money? And how many times has she gone even further and asked you for help in transferring all that money into your account?!?!!!
Quite a few times eh.
And yea yea to all of us internet savvy blokes and dames it may seem noone falls for that kinda crop.
Well Mrs Mulieka keita who's late husband left her about 18.7Million USD approached me so she could invest the money in Dubai through my account. So I decided to go ahead with the deal. After all, 18.7 million Dollars is quite a lot of money. Only that this time the joke was on her.
Although we had her at hello; We knew from the first mail that it had originated in Bangkok and not in Ghana we played along and it is really amazing how professionally this set executes their fraud and how good their background work is.
In reality, there IS no money, no Ghana, No Mulika Keita. Just some bloke sitting in Bangkok
Read on. Its really long....
