Here is a email scam ALERT I just got this today as a email

Good Day Friend,

My name is Gerard Robbert Martinus Sebastiaan, I work with the Finance
Monetary Control Unit here in The Netherlands, we are responsible for
checking
foreign account holders in all the different banks here in Netherlands. I
found your e-mail contact through my Country’s international Web directory.
During our last annual inspections of all the various accounts bank here in
The Netherlands, my department found a score to settle with a huge sum of
U.S.
$10,500,000.00 (Ten million five hundred U.S. Dollar) which was deposited by
the now deceased Mr. Jerry R. Williams, an Australian citizen.


From My investigations I discovered that the late Jerry R. Williams has no
beneficiary or next of kin to claim his funds (U.S.$10.500.000,00) and the
law
of my country here in Netherlands is that when an account is inactive for
more
than eight 8 years the Authority has the right to confiscate the funds. This
funds are about to be confiscated if I do not take advantage of it. This is
why I am contacting you to partner me in this once in a life-time business
opportunity. All you need to do is to stand as the next of kin to the
decease;
my lawyer will process and provide all the relevant documents to that effect
and the money will be transferred to your account in your country so that we
can share it and invest it in profitable businesses.
All I need from you is for us to work together – just follow my instructions
and strategy, and l will provide all the relevant information and
documentations that will allow the said funds get transferred into your bank
account legally without an hitch or a problem. I will give you the full
explanation of this Business after you reply this email. I am looking forward
to hearing from you soon.
Kindly reply this e-mail by writing directly to my private email:
(gerardrobbert50@aol.nl)
Best regards,
Gerard Robbert

    This is a typical so-called "419" scam. The scammer is more likely to be in Nigeria than from the Netherlands. The U.S. Secret Service used to have an email address where these could be reported. But it doesn't look like they do anymore. 'Probably got too swamped with complaints to respond effectively.

    They would love to have a copy of that Email over at ScamWarners.com...

    Oh and what fun they would have baiting that slime over at 419Eaters.com.

    My plate is a little full right now, but if You would like, I could see if this lad would take some baiter love...
    I would need a Full copy of the Email, including the header.

    NOK(Next Of Kin) scripts aren't all that sharp usually, and tend to run out of script quickly, leaving the scammer wide open.
    but that is for a different forum all together.

    Thanks for the Warning at any rate.

    Usually I'm playing with these African guys. It is more interesting through the phone! Write to him only one phrase - I am interested, please call as soon as possible and your mobile phone number. I just received a call from +233244585219

    Perhaps give them the number for the FBI instead.

    Think Inside the box first and if that doesn't work..
    Re-arrange what's inside the box then...
    Think outside the BOX!
