View Full Version : What should I do?
I just got this email...
Hello,
Furthermore during this unfortunate period, I was advised to evacuate my immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but before I could do that I was placed under house arrest by the Sultan and have no access to a phone but I have a Palm hand-held computer from which I am sending you this mail.
Please Do Read Through Attached Mail Above For Full details.
You may contact me so that I will let you know the next thing to do.
May Allah's blessing remains with you.
I remain yours sincerely.
Prince Fayad.S. Bolkiah.
I feel I must act but how?

Tell him that you are an exiled British Prince and you want to get your share of the royal fortune. If he only gives you his banking information to help you, you will be glad to give him 1,000,000 pounds. :D

Inform him that you are from the CIA and will aid him in overthrowing the Sultanate by providing advanced weapons and training... :shifty:
Hello,
I got your reliable contact from your country***8217;s Chamber of Commerce Directory and further explicit investment information about your country. I am Prince Fayad B.S. Bolkiah, the son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, former Finance Minister of Brunei, the tiny oil-rich sultanate on the Gulf Island
I will save your time by not amplifying my extended royal family history, which has already been disseminated by the international media during the controversial dispute that erupted between my Father and his step brother, the sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the sultan had accused my father of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8 Billion dollars. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis that made my father's company Amedeo Development Company and government owned Brunei Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office. However my father was kept under house arrest, his bank accounts and private Properties including a crude oil export refinery were later confiscated by the sultanate.
Furthermore during this unfortunate period, I was advised to evacuate my immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but before I could do that I was placed under house arrest by the Sultan and have no access to a phone but I have a Palm hand-held computer from which I am sending you this mail.
Some of the guard here are still loyal to me, so they would be my contact with you if there is any document I need to send to you.
Before my incarceration, I went ahead to moved the sum of Thirty Million United States Dollars (US$30,000,000.00) in cash under special arrangement into the custody of a private Security and Trustee company in London for safe keeping. Just like an unspecified amount of money Former President Sadam Husseine took out of Iraq in cash.
Hence I seek your good assistance to invest the fund into profitable investment in your country to facilitate future survival for my family abroad. I have decided to offer 20% of the fund to you as compensation for your strong cooperation while 5% have been mapped out for both local and international expenses that may be incurred during this transaction while you will keep the balance of the 75% for me and my family till my lawyer meets with you.
Please I count on your absolute Confidentiality, Transparency and Trust while looking forward to your prompt reply towards a swift conclusion of this business transaction.
You may contact me so that I will let you know the next thing to do.
May Allah's blessing remains with you.
I remain yours sincerely.
Prince Fayad.S. Bolkiah.

We have a problem, news story dated...Wednesday, 8 March, 2000, 21:58 GMT
Bloody Email, this is not even 2nd class service.
Contact NATO and the UN, they'll help and if they intervene now after eleven years, it'll be seen as fast compared to their normal speed.

The ending of the letter is way off when it says "May Allah's remains with you." that is not something Muslims would say.
A Muslim world say: Allah's grace(or peace) be upon you" and that would only be said to another person who was a muslim.To a non muslim they would say: "Peace be upon you".I am talking about normal friendly to all walks of life muslims here.This is according to a Pakistani guy that I know who own several stores I work on his refrigeration equipment all the time and he is always there talking to you the whole time I know just about about everything about everything this man knows because he talks to me so much so sometimes I will ask him questions about different things.
Pretty clear it is a scam when the man never mentions what nation or group he is a supposed Prince.Lastly most Arab Princes are very well educated in the west and would therefore speak and type in very good English.Nice try though.

I'll reply for you.
Dear Prince.
Praise the Lord, I mean Allah, prayers have been answered. I lost my job 4 years ago here in America, lost my home and bank accounts and under investigation by the IRS for tax fraud. Please mail $100,000 cash advancement so I can open bank accounts under my ex wifes name and we use her account numbers. She is in jail for prostitution, whore, may Allah drop a stone on her head.
Send the cash to the address I sent,
Thank You

Reply telling him you have a once in a lifetime opportunity for him, a well known newspaper that is going for a song and what's more you know of two individuals who are willing to put up the money to help him.
Don't forget to link him to his prospective business associates:

Now get out of the UK as quickly as you can before the 'knock' on your door materialises :DL

Close to the knuckle. :har:

STEED! I implore you, DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE OTHER PEOPLE POSTING THEIR MISGUIDED ADVICE.
Do exactly what the emails tell you to do. You will be fine.
May Allah's Blessings remain with you.
