"get back to me with the Credit Card information needed"

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received this story from a friend. Let me call him Hank.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

Dear Ms. Young

In the past four weeks I have received numerous e-mails from someone calling himself Professor Soludo. I was very curious to say the least. I answered the e-mails with vague answers and the good Prof promptly sent another e-mail with promises of great wealth. I am an old man who has been a banker since I was 35 years old. I had thought I had seen it all.

About a month ago someone must have put my e-mail on an international succors list. I have received several e-mails from Africa, Hong Kong and the Philippine's. All more or less promise the same thing. Many many dollars for a relatively small fee for Credit Cards, Diplomatic Couriers etc etc.

I will start sending you all of the messages I received from the good professor. What it boils down to is that he wants me to send him $30,000.00 to have a diplomatic courier bring boxes filled with cash through customs in New York. RIGHT!!!!!

Hank

Here is the second e-mail by Soludo. I inadvertently deleted the first:

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail, have gone through your e-mail and the content is well noted, like i stated in my e-mail we have made every arrangment regarding your cash payment through diplomatic courier service and i have covered every local charges here to enable the diplomats deliver this consignemt to you.

We have received a payment credit instruction from the federal Government of Nigeria to credit your account with your full contract funds valued at the tone of us$16.7 Million Dollars from the Nigerian reserve account with our bank.

I would also like you to know that the Diplomatic Agency has to move down to your Country in order to deliver the Consignment to your doorstep. Note that as soon as the Diplomats arrives at airport in your Country they will give you a call immediately to enable you help them to get (Diplomatic Yellow Tag).The yellow tag is required to avoid the costums and other security agents at the airport not search the consignment, this is in accordance with United Nation's diplomatic delivery act.

Bear in mind that the diplomat will not know the actual content of these boxes, we packaged the consignments and prepared the delivery note as personal effects (jewleries) which belongs to you, so do not disclose the content of the boxes to the diplomats, this is for security reasons, so that they will not run away with your money.

It is important for you to send your international passport or driver's license for identification, because the diplomat will have a copy to identify you before he can deliver the boxes to you.

Finally, you are expected to verify the content of the boxes in your private room, while the diplomat will wait for you in your seating room, so you are adviced not to sign the delivery note till after you have checked if the boxes contain your correct contrat amount, then if your money is complet you sign the delivery note to enable the diplomats to return to his base. Note that you need an identification card before the diplomat will over the boxes to you.
