    Tongans fear scam on king AAP November 03, 2005 Has Tonga's elderly king fallen for a billion-dollar email con trick that sends most people reaching for the delete button? King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV has lost his impoverished realm a fortune in the past to foreign fraudsters and some fear the 87-year-old may be being duped again. He has surprised parliament with news that unnamed foreign investors want to deposit $US1billion ($1.35billion) in Tonga's tiny central bank. The absolute monarch gave few details except to say the money would be used to fund projects in Tonga. Pro-democracy politicians said yesterday the king's latest scheme smelt like a notorious type of internet scam often linked to tricksters in Nigeria.

    Nigerian 4-1-9 Scam
    http://www.quatloos.com/scams/nigerian.htm
    Help those wacky Nigerians get their money out of Nigeria and they will give you millions. But make sure you get the money first.



    HOW THE SCAM GETS MONEY In many cases, this is really a scam-within-a-scam: The Nigerians are making you think that you are going to scam the Nigerian Government, the Central Bank of Nigeria, etc., when in fact they are going to scam you out of what they are going to charge you to get in the scam, or what portion of the scam you are going to pay to make it work. If you pay the money up-front by wire-transfer or by mail, one of two things will happen: (1) you have simply lost your money and will never see it again; or (2) and much more likely, within a couple of days you will get a phone call or letter from your contact telling you that something has gone wrong, and that to clear it up and release the funds you will have to send just a little more money. This latter scamming will go on literally for weeks and months, until you either run out of money or figure it out. If you actually go to Nigeria, it is the same scam. You will pay some money and wait. There will be a delay, and then a requirement that you pay additional money to clear up the delay, and then another delay and more money, and so forth and so on until (1) your money is exhausted, or (2) you leave the country, or (3) you are kidnapped or murdered for the rest of your money.

    Bank of Nigeria scam: often referred to as the 4-1-9 scam, ironically after section 4-1-9 of the Nigerian Penal Code which relates to fraudulent schemes. While the Nigerian government periodically makes grand statements that it is cracking down on the scam, it isn't -- for the reason that the scam was, according to some reports, the third-largest industry in Nigeria!!!

    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

            Dear Mr Shrub

            Don't be sorry for me, because I believe we all must die some day.

            I have a gazillion dollars I need to get out of Elbonia. Only, there is a bureaucratic obstacle. If you'll concquer Iraq and hand it to my corrupt uncle, you shall get 15% of the money for your help.

            Kindly regards.
            Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

                    You're a very cruel man.

                    A lot of kittens survived, only to face a life of misery and depravation because of your actions that night.

                    And those weren't babes. They were pin-ups!
