Benin Bingo Bongs Again

Somehow, this letter seems to be a desperate plea for $185!.

Of course they couldn’t take it from the Million plus. That would be too easy!

It is nice to know I am his friend, but funny that he can’t seem to remember my name, like so many other similar Nigerian Style Scam emails, or, as I like to call them Yet Another Nigerian Letter (YANL)

YANL from Benin.. or Germany.. or Russia?

Here’ a recent YANL type of pitch, but supposedly from a “Bank”.

The email address in the “FROM” area is a German Internet domain, while the contact Email address is an Internet Domain with a Russian registration. Yet the return telephone number has a Benin dialing code prefix. Mmmmmm?

Do you get the idea that this may not be quite on the level?

If so, what’s your first clue? We found lots more. Hope you dump this sort of tripe into the scam bin really fast.
