Yet another scam

I get these (or similar) often. One of these days I'm going to have to reply and see where it goes.

Direktor Sir,

I am Mr. Alexander Karitonov, I represent a top company executive in Russia. I have a very sensitive and private brief from this top executive to ask for your partnership to re-profile funds over €20,000,000.00.(Million Euros) I will give the details, but in summary, the fund is from a holding bank in Russia where we have a considerable stake. Presently we have established a profiling channel through our corresponding bank in Western Europe. We need to present you/your company as a management consultant to undertake and complete this re-profiling job. This is a legitimate transaction. I propose that you will be paid 10 % of this fund for your proposed "management consultation invoiced charges", for your assistance to re-profile this funds appropriately, if I am able to reach terms with you.

If you are willing to render this assistance quietly, please write back by email, and provide me with your confidential telephone number, email address and
corporate profile and I will provide further details. Please keep this close to
your chest as much as possible; we can not afford any political problems with
Moscow. Whatever your decision, Write me back. I look forward to it.

Regards,
Alexander Karitonov

Though I will have to say the spelling is much better than in most.

ROFL... I did just that about 3 weeks ago.... a different nigerian bank scam, where they send you fake money orders. Well I was curious to see what one looked like, so played along and he actually sent a $3000 money order. I think I still have it around here somewhere, probably on the kitchen table. If you want to see it I can post it.

Yeah post it.

I figure I'll play along and make them jump through the hoops and cost them as much time and effort as I can.

LOL My check was for $8000

There is a site that they see how much money (real and fake) they can get out of scamers. I think they are up to $389,978 in fake money orders and $3842 in actual money spent on postage. The page is designed for horse people but anyone can laugh at the stories. Get a cup of coffee and get ready to laugh at some of these people. http://www.bustedupcowgirl.com/scampage.html

darn it! I guess I'm going to have to raise my prices to $10,000 for some feeder mice to beat you!

I figure the more time the spend sending me this crap the less chance they have finding someone who would.

Yeah, I'm trying to get My "Baited by Rick" picture right now. LOL

I would rather deal with them Myself and waste their time than to have them get with people who are just about fool enough to send their money.

I was actually trying to be nice for a change, but suspected this was a scam the whole time. Glad I am a suspicious person at times and gave out nothing but My home address to mail the check to.
