An Offer You Can’t Refuse

Filed under: Morons — Michael van der Galien, Editor-in-Chief on June 16, 2007 @ 1:01 pm CEST

I just received an e-mail from one Paul den Cole. Paul has an offer for me I can’t refuse. Below is the entire e-mail. Sender e-mail address: paul_dencole@abnamro.nl

Hello!

I quite understand the nature of things round the world of Internet, due to the recent internet abuse many people believe that every transaction that comes from the internet is not generous, i will treat this issue very sincere to your understanding. The recent thought over merging my bank Abn Amro N.V. with Barclay’s Bank Plc United Kingdom, I was made head of service in my department by the Board of directors of my bank ABN AMRO N.V. (The Netherlands) to compile all credit accounts that has been in operation with the bank.

During the compilation of all credit accounts, I discovered a credit account with A/C N0: NL85ABNA6008341843 and (7,467,000.00Euros) deposited. My investigation of the said account reveals that the investor died in 2000 in a plane crash, It was A German who Ran carmaker BMW’s museum and that was the exact period the account were last operated. I can confirm with certainty that no body has ever came as heir apparent of Late Engineer Christian Eich.

The Netherlands law demands that I notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time period of seven years when dormant accounts of this type are called in by the monetary regulatory bodies. The above set of facts underscores my reason of writing and making the following proposal to you. I have chosen to seek your consent to work with me as a partner to achieve this fund under the legitimacy as the heir apparent of Late Engineer Christian Eich. Without any fear of doubt arising from the bank authority. Please, do let me know your readiness towards achieving this goal together as a partner.

Sincerely,

Mr. Paul Den Cole
Appointed Auditor
Abn-Amro Bank N. V.

It’s quite sad that people would use the good name of the ABN Amro for such an obvious fraud. Normally my spamfilter should catch e-mails like this, for some reason it did not however. If I were the ABN I would try to find out who sent this e-mail.

Just a post about nothing, but I find it interesting that people actually send e-mails like this one. It means, I guess, that some idiots actually fall for it, otherwise, they would not be sending these kind of e-mails.
