Analysis of the 419

So we all get them... And a fraction of one percent fall for them. That's why they continue to happen. Here is the 419 phish and my analysis.


OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATION
INTERNATIONAL CREDIT SETTLEMENT,
ATM PAYMENT DEPARTMENT (CBN)
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA . (It's in all caps so you know it's important)
Email: remittancedeptcentral88bank@gmail.com
(All the best Central Banks use gmail)
Telephone:+2348028241762
(234 is the country code for Nigeria...)

VERY URGENT ATTENTION!!! (Wow he's got me now... This must be important!)

This is to officially inform you that we the international credit
settlement of central bank of Nigeria has verified your contract/inheritance file and found out that why you have not received your part payment of $16 million is because you have not fulfilled the obligations given to you in respect of your contract/inheritance payment.
(Did you understand any of that? BTW I doubt I have any relatives in Nigeria... at least none in the last 14o generations!)


Secondly we have been informed that for you not to deal with the non officials (Those Bozos!) in the bank and your entire attempt to secure the release of your fund to you will be in vane.(Your'e so VAIN, you probably think this phish is about you... regrets Carly!) So we wish to advise you that such an illegal act like these have to stop if you wish to receive your payment since we have decided to bring a solution to your problem. (I don't have a problem... you do because you don't have my account number) Right now we have arranged your payment through our swift card payment center Asia pacific that is the latest instruction from MR. PRESIDENT. ALHAJI UMAR MUSA YARADUA (GCFR) FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. AND NEW CHAIRMAN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION(EFCC) MRS FARIDA WAZIRI (He is indeed the president, and she is head of the commission to crackdown on 419 scams), which will not involve any fraudulent act or money laundering and because the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA is running for the yearly payment that's why the order is given,

As well as the INTERPOL and FBI in conjunction with HOMELAND SECURITY (what about OSHA, the FDA, IMF, and World Bank?) so you have absolutely nothing to be afraid of and due the previous scam and fraud act from imposters (so the other scammers are imposters. I guess this makes him the original scammer) in our country we have mapped out that this card is sent to your personal address so, This card center will send you an ATM CARD which you will use to withdraw your money in any ATM MACHINE in any part of the world, but the maximum is twenty thousand dollars per day, so if you like to receive your fund this way (I like my cash dropped from a helicopter, thank you. I'm a pirate at heart...) please let us know by contacting Deputy Governor, Financial Sector Surveillance/the card payment center officer MR ERNEST C.EBI (MFR) on his,

Contact name: MR ERNEST C.EBI (MFR)
Email address:::remittancedeptcentral88bank@gmail.com (He must be working from home.)
Telephone/fax line: +2348028241762 (he gets fax and phone on the same line... don't you think the Central Bank could buck up for separate lines?)

And also send the following information:
1. Your full name (the ironic spelling mistake here would be to ask for fool name)
2. Phone and fax number
3. Addresses were you want them to send the ATM card
4. Your age and your current occupation.
5. Attach copy of your identification

The ATM CARD PAYMENT CENTER has been mandated to issue out ($6,000,000.00) as part payment for this fiscal year 2009/2010 payment year. (HE said $20,000 per day max, that only covers me for 300 days. That means he still owes me.) Also for your information, you have to stop any further communication with any other person(s) or office(s) to avoid any hitches in receiving your Payment. (Don't say nutin to noone) For oral discussion, call and email me back as soon as you receive this important message for further direction and also update me on any development from the above-mentioned office.

Note that because of impostors, we hereby issued you our code of conduct, which is (ATM-822) (Is this like double secret probation?) so you have to indicate this code when contacting the card center by using it as your subject.

Regards,
