Complaint Review: Karibu Ibraham

I don't know if this one is on ripoff report or not. I got this stupid scam sent to me on the afternoon of 9/2/4. So I figured that I'd share it just in case. Here it is word for word..

Very urgent. Sir/Madam. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN YOUR ATTENTION IS REQUIRED PLEASE. I search the internet for a hopeful and trustworthy person and I decided to contact you with an act of providence, please accept this transaction with utmost good faith.

My name is Karibu Ibraham a citizen of Cameroun, working as an expatriate engineer with Nigeria Civil Aviation Management Authority, also an Aero contractor consultant, but due to politically and economic instability in Nigeria where religion and ethnic crises is on the increase and corruptions, I want to resign and leave to my country for my dear life.

Three years ago in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, an associate Engineer working with Klm Airline named john Kennedy an American Citizen was killed by unknown islamic gunmen after church service at saint joseph catholic church, it was very sad and sympathy.

Unfortunately for me, we both operate a joint account with standard chartered, ikeja branch lagos nigeria account number 388000426128, with official deposit of US$20 million. Note the bank has know knowledge of his death up to date(its confidential). This branch was commissioned early this year so it will be very easy for us to move this fund with your assistance.

Right now, I want you to courageously act and take the vital position of John Kennedy, so that we can move this fund by coded swift transfer into your nominated bank account until further notice. Although Nigeria is corrupt nation in the global economy, but I can assure of genuine business, please send your private telephone and fax number for bank use.

Please send your official application for closing of the account. The bank attorney is secretly involved in this deal its risk free. For your security confidence I will send to you my copy of international passport. For more information call me on my private number-234-8034-701033.

What is your commission??? Keep it a secret. Thanks. Kabiru Ibrahim"

I wrote the letter the way he wrote it to me. After reading this letter, I sent him an e-mail telling him what to do with his scam. I can't exactly tell you what I wrote, cause I don't think the editor of ripoff report would allow it to be posted, but I think you get the idea. I just figured i'd let everyone know about this.
