Is Hotmail Or The Email Server Becoming Low In Security?
I received this email on Oct 12, 2005 at 6pm, but the email address is incorrect and somehow the email is an forwarding message from kentry_1@hotmail.com
Is hotmail becoming low in theirs scurity because of this scam? because I have received severals scam email from him/her -- unknow sender. Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 18:05:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Send an Instant Message "prince waziri" <princewazir002@yahoo.com> Add to Address BookAdd to Address Book Add Mobile Alert Yahoo! DomainKeys has confirmed that this message was sent by yahoo.com. Learn more Subject: Can i trust you ?. To: kentry_1@hotmail.com Attn:Friend, Dear Sir/Maddam, I am Dr. Prince Waziri, Bank Manager of Zenith bank,Lagos,Nigeria.I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6,1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. pitt Barry made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$26,500,000.00, (Twenty-six Million, five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Pitt Barry died from an automobile accident.On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Pitt Barry did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$26,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safekeeping.No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law,at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a security company in two trunk boxes though the security company does not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for export. I am writing you because I as a public servant (Manager with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1m. I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney. This is simple.I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the as the owner of the boxes. The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will bedone by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address waziri_prince10@yahoo.com Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.(Buying of properties like houses,hotels etc) Please do send me your private/mobile telephone fax number so that we can have a smooth communication. Thanks and hope to hear from you as soon as you get this mail. Dr. Prince Waziri, Manager, Zenith Bank International Plc.

This is a old phishing trick, just with a new look. It's easy to set up filters to get rid of this crap.

View the headers and the message route: see the host it came from (probably a spambot/zombie or an onion route exit point, if he's even bothered to cover his tracks). Any script kiddie with an smtp program can do this, but thats what you get for relying on ancient good-enough protocols...
