Nigerian Scam Moves to Ireland!
I can find on the web somewhere a copy of every Nigerian scam email I’ve received, from Nigeria or elsewhere. I don’t think I’ve ever received a single letter that wasn’t posted to a bulletin board or something and a simple google search always pulls up the post.
I’m excited! Today I received a first!
Gerard Watson in IRELAND, of all places, emailed me for help with his Nigerian/Irish Scam. I simply have to reprint the text of the letter. It sounds SO stereotypically IRISH. He should have written “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” at the bottom.

Good day to you. I may have to trouble your sense of personal achievement and reward for an opportunity properly taken advantage of.My name is gerard watson,
I work for Allied Irish Bank here in Dublin, Ireland. I am a relationship officer and one of my biggest customers was Charles Green, an American, now deceased. He had fixed time deposit with my Bank which has matured and remains unclaimed till now. It runs into the value of US$20 Million.
I knew him so well since he was one of my most performing accounts. However the account opening package of Charles Green does not contain any next of kin and either has it been possible to trace any relative of Charles Green. My personal know of Charles Green and experience in the banking industry reveals that such monies remain recycling in the monies of the bank until finally they may be dissipated as unclaimed funds.
A colleague of mine who works in the Legal Department, and particularly in the Inheritance Unit has agreed with me that I clandestinely look for someone who will assist us to have the money legally claimed and moved out of our bank for our joint purpose. We are in house members and have put in place effective measure to ensure that this works out smoothly. We need you to front as the beneficiary of the estate of Charles Green.
This is simple and will be done at our end. We will employ the services of an external solicitor to help prepare letters of probate which in your favour as the beneficiary of Green’s investment.
This will be registered in our country?s Probate Registry and then forwarded to our Bank and you will thus be given access to the money as the owner.
This is sure as we have put in measures to ensure that this works without any hitch. Assurances are given you to this effect, we have our job to protect and cannot afford to fail.
When you have safely secured same and moved the money to your given account we shall then meet and have the booty shared. We have decided that your share shall be 20% while we shall take home 40% each. Kindly take note of this to avoid any future dispute on how to distribute the facility among us. I think this is an open show of
magnanimity, we have given too much concession and will not go a single Dollar beyond this.If you are capable of putting your time and efforts towards the actualization of this, kindly reach me and let us work together to get achieved.
Please have every second thought and be sure if you are interested
before you contact me, don?t just contact me because of the amount involved but please only do so if you know you are genuinely interested and will give it the required commitment for the good of us all.Please reach me via my confidentail email address,
(watgerard@sify.com).Have a very wonderful day.
Yours truly,
Gerard watson.
