Lol, i'm being investigated by the tv licensing for ignoring their last letter (and all the ones before that one probably). Didn't know ignoring letters that aren't addressed to me was an offence.
Anybody got any funny stories made up by con artists? I'm just in the mood for them. |

Those phonecalls saying I'm owed X amount for the car accident I was in.
I always ask how much I'll get for getting amnesia as I can't remember the accident happening |

Yeah, it does read like a scam their letter. Anyway pm me your bank details if you want, i'll use them.
Yeah addressed to the legal occupier, i just pay rent for this place, my contract ran out a while ago and i never renewed it so there's nothing to say i am the legal occupier, i could get kicked out at any time without the protection of the law. I pay my rent though so i won't get kicked out. |

URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
For attention of Miss Affectionate Bitch
From His Honour Justice Olajide QC
LONDON,UNITED KINGDOM
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.
This by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and 'top secret'.
You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.
I am a Nigerian presently on attachment in the most excellent London in the United Kingdom, but at the same time the Chairman of the Nigerian government contract review panel who is interested in importation of goods into Nigeria with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria.
In order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds.
The source of this fund is as follows.
During the last Regime in Nigeria, some Government Officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries.
The present Government set up a contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment.
However, by virtue of our position as a government servant and QC, and member of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names.
I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus:
1. 20% for the Account owner (you)
2. 70% for us (The officials)
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local
and foreign expenses.
It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the transfer latest seven (7) banking days from the date of the receipt of the following information below by FAX OR EMAIL:
(a) Account name
(b) Your Personal Telephone Number and Fax Number
(c) Bank account and Sort Code to which the funds will be transfered to
(d) Your Bankers Address, Telephone and Fax Number.
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively.
This way we will use your company ís name to apply for payment and re-award the contract in your companys name.
We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction.
We can also liaise with the television licence persons to ensure that they do not write to you again and waste your valuable time opening their brown envelopes.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above and email or fax me on this 44-709-234-3334 and I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have heard from you.
Yours most sincerely
His Honour Justice Olajide QC

I had a visit from them last last week.
I honestly thought he was taking the piss.
Turned out my TV licence had expired.
He came in. Asked me if i had a TV. Which by the way is a great big fuck off TV that be couldn't possibly have missed.
He then told me to turn it on.
And asked me if it worked.
I said "well yeah".
He said can you prove it.
I'm like ffs... you guys know full well it works or you wouldn't be here would you?

Miss Affectionate Bitch
Thank you most immensely for your bankage details.
I will begin to draw up contracts and descriptions immediately.
I anticipate that transfers of monies will begin almost immediately, thereafter.
Please not that your account may be identified by your bank as showing unusual activity.
This is entirely normal and you should reassure the fraud department that this activity has been authorised by you in anticipation of receiving funds from a deceased Aunt in an overseas country.
The Nigerian government contract review panel is not linked to the English Broadcasting Company, so they will not be receiving monies from us.
Be reassured that those irritating brown envelopes will cease to arrive shortly after funds have been transferred.
The transfer process can be accelerated if you can provide the card numbers, start and expiry dates, security numbers (the 3 numbers on the back of the card or the 4 numbers on the front of an AMEX car) and PIN numbers of any credit / debit cards that you hold.
Imagine waking tomorrow and finding an extraordinary balance on each of your banking card!
Yours most sincerely
His Honour Justice Olajide QC

They don't know if it works or not, they're just presuming everyone has a tv that recieves a broadcasting signal. They have no idea whether you watch it or not or if it works, that's why you have to prove it to them. I once had 2 guys turn up with some handheld device (no idea what it was but it looked 'official'), i didn't even let them in.
I'm not letting anyone in here without a warrant, and they have to get a warrant from an official court (same way the police have to). Doubt a judge will take non-replying to letters as good enough evidence for anything. 
I don't have any tv packages or watch tv and none of my kids do either. Hate being harassed for nothing, and they're wasting other license payers money in this stuff.
Any more funny scams? |

I took over the tea fund at work and instigated a standing order system so i wasn't chasing people for money every month. Gave everyone a form to fill in to make it easy. Had several people give me the forms then get confused when I say that they havent paid for months. Apparently they thought I did it...well if they want to give their bank details, I need card expiry date and security code too  |

A friend of my ex wife fell for a conman (literally) he had an elaborate scam going playing at being a spy. Despite her being relatively intelligent she fell for it hook line and sinker. Ended up significantly poorer. |
