ナイジェリアから手紙
一昨日スパムメールの事について書いたら、タイミング良く（？）スパムメールを受信しました。いわゆる「ナイジェリア詐欺（Nigerian Scam）」と呼ばれている奴です。
要約するとナイジェリアの銀行から海外に資金を移す手助けをしてくれれば、お礼に資金の一部を提供するというものです。
今回のメールでは見返りとして500万ドルの40%になっています。
この手のメールは今回が初めてではなく、過去にも数度受け取っているんですが、送信者・国・金額に違いこそあれ、内容がほとんど同じなのが笑ってしまいます。
今回の送信元はナイジェリアの銀行員でしたが、フィリピン元大統領の息子だったり、宝くじ当選通知を装ったものもありました。
金額も3000万ドルの25%から、宝くじで60万ドル当選したといろいろです。
でもこの詐欺は何も今に始まったわけではなく、もう10年以上似たような詐欺が横行しているという事の方が驚きです。ネットが普及する前はファックス、そしてその前は郵便という形でも存在していたようです。それでも被害は収まらないのってちょっと・・・。
参考までに以下、スパムメールの本文です。
Mr Fidelis Martins
Lagos,
Dear Sir / Madam,
I write this message after weeks and months of serious thinking and meditation. I implore your patience as you read through this message by line so you do not miss anything.
Am the director of bills and Exchange in a First Generation Bank in Nigeria. During my normal routine accounts update and reconciliation, I discovered that an account has been lying dormant for one year now and the account was opened in 2001 for a fixed period of one year and it has a balance of . Million Dollars only.
I made a report to the Board of Directors at a meeting and I was mandated to investigate the account and trace the beneficiary.
The account opening information shows that the account belongs to Mr. Nuhan Vaye, Deputy Minister of public Works, Republic of Liberia.
Further investigation has confirmed that Mr. Nuhan Vaye was Killed by Former Liberian President CHARLES TAYLOR on July 14th 2003 on allegation of being an accessory after the fact of a coup Plot.
Please see this link to confirm my findings:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm.
I tried through the Liberian embassy to Locate any of his family members but was informed that they were all killed during the civil war in Liberia. If I could find any relation of his to act as his next of kin then the bank will release the money to such a person. I have informed the Bank of this dilemma and I have been given one week to find his relations or the Money gets forfeited to the Government by virtue of Banking laws and I could loose my job for negligence as I was not supposed to accept a Bank account opening application form which did not state any name as next of Kin.
The Bank will accept anybody I present as Mr Vaye's next of kin who will claim the Money. I intend to push you forward as the next of kin and give you all the necessary documents to back up your claim.
When I recieve your acceptance reply I will give you a detailed explanation of what arrangements I have in place to actualise this transaction.
All that is needed is your acceptance, all other things as regards documentations in your favour will be handled by me over here, using my position in the Bank.
Reply and tell me what you want as your share of the M for your assistance in claiming the funds into your account. My Offer is 40%. Let me know your views.
Sincerely yours,
Fidelis Martins

ナイジェリア詐欺メール、うちには最近届いていませんね。
ジュンさんに届いたメールもツッコミどころがたくさんありますけど、こんなものでも騙される人がいるという事が未だに信じられませんね…。
