I get emails like this all the time to my general Synergi inbox. I know the gist of them, but today is the first time I read the entire email. I can't believe people actually fall for this stuff...

Goodday To You,

Am happy to inform you that i have registered your Confirmable Bank Draft of $1.800.000,00 USD, which my boss kept for you,i did not hear from you since that time. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and Mr. Jay Austin the Director of the Eco Bank told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $1.800.000,00 USD, United States Dollar to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 5 Months Course and I will not come back till end of July 2008.What you have to do now is to contact the Globex Courier Company Ltd as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date.For your information,i have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium.

The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105 USd) only being for their Security Keeping Fees of the Courier Company so far.

Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $105 Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them in case of demurrage.You have to contact the Globex Courier Company Ltd now for the delivery of your package with this information bellow;
Contact Person:
Dr.Ebube Sylvester Harimatsu

Email:globexcouriercompanyltd202@gmail.com
Tel/Fax:+22995750771.

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this email to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $105 Dollars.
for their immediate action by ensuring that they deliver your fund to your house within 24 hours as agreed between the company director and i.Note this.

The GLOBEX COURIER COMPANY don't know the contents of th Box. I registered it as a box returnable jeans to you for security purpose to ensure that you gets your fund correctly and completely.
They did not know the contents was money.this is to avoid them delaying with the box. Don't let them know that box contents money.

Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Chioma Emeka.

Which leads me to 3 Marketing No-No's that this person committs perfectly!

1. Be Believable! Okay, so I am getting a bank deposit for 1.8M from somone who I have never met? Sure... Who in the right mind would even entertain such a notion?

2. Use Correct English! Some of these sentences I have to read twice! It is laden with spelling and gramattical errors. The sentence structure is horrible and if this was legitimate, I still would not believe it, how can someone be credible if they can't even form a sentence?!

3. Be Clear! I can tell they want me to take action to claim my money; however, the email is muttered, it is not an easy task for me to figure out what I have to do exactly. If I was born yesterday and believed this...then I still would be very confused as far as what to do. I guess I would have to send an email to that crazy looking email address they provided to find out! LOL

Anyway, I could go on and on and on about this, but I refuse waste any additional time! However, these 3 No-No's are applicable no matter what you are doing.

Enjoy your weekend!
