I'm creating this topic so you can post spam letters that you know are scams, so that we can have the rest of the forum clear for more important topics. I will sometimes take the liberty to remove the ones that are posted and copy them here instead. Emails offering you millions of dollars or jobs transferring payments in exchange for a percentage and similar things should be posted in this topic.

This was the previous topic posted by  Security Portal that served a similar function, you can also find several scams there:
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/11866/Please_read_these_scams_messages.htm

You can find information on how to identify them here::
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/11625/Good_tips_to_identify_scams_and_scammers.htm
And we also have a lot of information on www.fraudwatchers.org where we mostly deal with these types of fraud.

Alibaba has a spam filter that removes many of these messages. To get around this, some of the scammers will first ask you for an email address through Alibaba where they can then send the scam letter. This email address may then be traded inside a list to other spammers, leading to you receiving more spam. So it's a good idea to be wary of any Alibaba message asking for your email address that mentions some kind of undescribed "opportunity".

heres another one I just got in my inbox...I laughed so much I cried. This guy contradicts so much, he actually makes a fool out of himself...........

Dear Sir,
After going through your business information in Alibaba website i believe i can share this successful business arrangement with you.

I am Mr.Benson Kowa the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here in Nigeria.Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and co-operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the financial stand of both parties involved when completed. As a matter of fact, We want to transfer to overseas (US$ 152,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the oil company's operating Bank account here in Nigeria ,I want you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important transaction, trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in the near future.

In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the bank in 1990 and since then, nobody has operated on this account
again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the money in the account was mapped out for the refurbishment of the oil Company's Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon, the President of the oil Company was the only signatory to the account, but unfortunately he died in a plane crash in 1993. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his death had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal account in New York hence he did not disclose the operating devises of the account to the Board of Trustees.

I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon the owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank account.

Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me,
lets make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share percentage bases.

I shall commence actions immediately to process the payment of the money in your favor as the beneficiary as soon as i receive a positive response from you that you are capable of handling the transaction .

Yours Faithfully ,

Mr.Benson Kowa
