Note: This post is LONG!
For those of you who don't know what Phishing is (not the band, the fraud), it's slang for a type of spam that tries to get hold of your credit card or banking information by saying something like "This is such and such credit card corperation, there has been a problem with your account. Please give the following information and we will attempt to rectify the issue." Naturally, those who fall for it get cleaned out.
From http://www.antiphishing.org/,
I've been getting a lot of spam in general lately, and I recently got a particularly interesting and pathetic phishing attempt. Here posted is an interesting conversation I have had with 'Adex Mol'.
Just a note, my commentary is in this blue I'm using now.
Emails from Adex Mol are in this color.
Emails from me back to him are in this color.
Emails from his "lawyer" are in this color.

Perhaps, this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since you have
neither met nor
known me before. (note: an example of the bad grammar that is exhibited throughout the entire series of emails)My name is Mr.adex mol, staff of Union Bank of Nigeria.
Some times in 30 January 2000, one of our Bank's esteemed customers
(Mr.mark
orstler) (note: Most Millionaires who have been alive in recent times can be found somewhere on the internet, but Mark Orstler must have kept quiet during his lifetime! I couldn't find him on Google anywhere!)
My client
died of excessve bleedng on admmssion in 1999. Before his sudden death
n the hospital, he was the Chief Executive
and Managing Director of Cross Atlantic Oil Company (note: again, couldn't find it)and he maintained
personal
account; both current and savings with us. As at the time of his death,
he has about
US$35 Million in both accounts. I was his personal Accountant.
After his death, several efforts were made to contact his Next of Kin
without success.
His Country's Embassy in Nigeria (As he is not from Nigeria) was also
contacted, who
after about three months got back to me, saying they could not locate mr
marks relatves. It was at this point a notification was sent to the
Nigerian
Government through the Central Bank and the Federal Finance Ministry
about Mr.
marks' Account and I got direction to place Mr. mark's money in a
special account
with the Central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N).
The Government, last week sent me a letter asking that If dont locate
the next of kin of mr mark is not found the fund will wll be claim by
them
as a matter of urgency,i have to contact anybody (and you chose me? I'm honored!) I can trust abroad to
assist take
this US$35M abroad in the name of Mr. mark's relative. That is why I am
sending you
this mail even though we have neither known nor met ourselves. I want to
present you
as the next of kin (relative to Mr. mark) to the Central Bank of
Nigeria,
so that
the Central Bank of Nigeria will pay the fund to you. Your nationality
does not
matter, as you could be his Uncle, Cousin, etc from either the mother's
side or his
father's side.
Should you accept this proposal, my lawyer is involved and shall send to
you, documents relating to the
transfer of this fund. ALL DOCUMENTS relating to this
transaction/transfer
shall be
sent to you ONLY BY SCAN COPY THROUGH YOUR EMAIL for complete security
reasons so as
to make sure that the documents are safely received only by you to avoid
expose and
theft. So I advise that you please, be the ONLY person who has the
access to your
mailbox and the password. This is because double claim of same fund from
two different
people could be dangerous. (note: but if double claim is dangerous, then why was I able to search your name and find another person who has infact been offered the same thing?) All the documents shall be coming to your
mailboxby my lawyer as the
if you accept pls kindly reply me .
with your full information that will be needed for the process of the
documents that will enable the transfer into your account.
1)your full name and address
2)your phone number and fax number
3)your company name and addres
4)your home address
5)your bank name/address and your bank account numner that the money
will be transfered nto
When you have received the money,i wll travel down to you n your country
and the money will be shared in a manner that will be
satisfactory to both yourself and me.

Well, I had finished all my work, and I was about to hit delete, when I decided to reply for the sake of responding. I stated clearly that I did knew it wasn't real and I even complimented his creativity.
Nice try.
Very creative phishing, but I advise you to find out my name first
before asking me for my banking information. ;-)
Sorry. You're not getting my bank number today.
But apparently he didn't understand, or his English wasn't good enough, or he just decided to persist. He did it in ALL CAPS too, which was a bit annoying.
HELLO MR,
WELL AM HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE TO REALLY KNOW WHO
YOU ARE FIRST WELL AM ADEX MOL AS I HAVE SAID IN MY PROPOSAL SO IF YOU
WANT TO KNOW ANY OTHER THING ABOUT ME FEEL FREE TO ASK .SO PLEASE

you didn't even read my email back...was this reply automatic?
If you have ever been to Zimbobwe you can reply...otherwise, SHUT THE
HELL UP UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE THAT THIS S*** IS REAL!
COME ON!
-Mark Mackenzie Quelz
I pretended two things: to be pissed off, and to be from Zimbobwe. Don't ask me why I wrote a reply like this, but looking back I think it was probably late, I had probably done a lot of work, and was probably very tired. In addition, I coined a new name (including the fact that I spelt my first name which is 'Marc' as 'Mark') for the purpose of these emails. More to the point, one would think that he would have stopped after this. But he really seemed persistant, or he STILL didn't understand. Either way, he replied again soon afterward
HELLO MR MARK,
I KNOW THAT IT IS HARD TO BELIVE BUT I MYSELF AM A BIT SCARED THAT WHEN
THE MONEY IS TRANSFERED TO YOU YOU MIGHT RUN AWAY WITH THE MONEY BUT I
JUST NEED TO TRUST YOU COS IF I DONT THERE WOUNT BE A WAY OUT.(note: if he actually thought I meant that he seriously needs to spend a few years in an English speaking country, or he should start phishing in other languages) I MEAN THE
FUND WILL JUST BE THERE.I NEED TO GET THIS DONE FAST BECAUSE IF I DONT
THE GOVERNMENT WILL CLAIM IT SINCE THE MAN WAS ONCE THE GOVERNMENTS
CONTRACTOR.THATS WHY AM REALLY PLEADING SO THAT THIS WILL BE DONNE
WITHIN FEW WEEKS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU RESPOND TO MY LAWYER WHO IS GOING
TO PROCESS ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE
FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.AND PLEASE MAKE THIS CONFIDENTIAL TO AVOID

DAMN THE ALL CAPS! I CAN'T STAND READING EMAILS LIKE THAT! Anyhow, to continue...
Dude, I don't think you understand me here. You may trust me or not
trust me, but how the hell am I supposed to trust you? Once you have
my bank number and all of my other information, if you are not legit,
I'm screwed! And by the way, where did you get my email or name. On
the other hand, if you are willing to mail the money to a location
that is not my home, I am more then willing to accept it. I can even
mail half or so back if you wish. But you aren't getting any of my
information.

3)your company name and address

I typed out a lame response and sent it off within a few seconds of recieving the email.
I'm afraid I cannot understand your dialect. What, in English (or
German for that matter), are you trying to say

'if it is completed my lawyer will not be able to do

That means essentially that if I complete the information, your lawyer
can't do anything. That would imply that if I don't give you the
information, the lawyer does something.
While I know this isn't what you meant, I'm beginning to get confused
and frusterated, as well as impatient.
And you haven't answered my biggest question. How did you get my
email? Why choose me over any other person?
hi marc,
i got your email address from gmail.com while i was send a mail to a
friend so dont get confused or frustrated ok.just lets get down with
business please its getting late.just send it and let me transfer it to

I recieve a reply from his "lawyer" about ten hours later (providing GMail has accurate timestamps). The email is sent under the name "Fred Krugal".

REPLY ME IMMEDIATELY AS YOU RECEIVE THE MESSAGE FOR FUTHER INFORMATION.

BARISTER FRED
ALL CAPS AGAIN! DAMN IT! Anyhow, near-proof that it is the same person lies in the fact that he addressed me as 'Mr. Marc", not "Mr. Mark". When sending Adex Mol the "information", I put my full name as "Mark Mackenzie Quelz", which must mean this lawyer who is such a "VERY BUSY MAN" either had the time to read Adex Mol's emails, or is in fact Adex Mol himself, the latter being more likely given the situation. Another likely possibility is that there are two friends who have been doing this together since the beginning. Either way it's not important.
I responded with this:
Ok. Excellent. Just for my personal protection, do not include a
return address on any mail you send out to me. Thank you very much. A
pleasure doing business with you.
-M. Quel
I haven't recieved a response since. I'm not sure if he/they were stupid enough to try and get my account (if he/they did, it must have been embarassing to find out that there was no client called "Mark Mackenzie Quelz", let alone a bank by the given name to find such a client at).
If two days pass without me hearing anything from them, I'm going to send an email asking where my money is.
For those of you who don't know what Phishing is (not the band, the fraud), it's slang for a type of spam that tries to get hold of your credit card or banking information by saying something like "This is such and such credit card corperation, there has been a problem with your account.

ALL CAPS AGAIN! DAMN IT! Anyhow, near-proof that it is the same person lies in the fact that he addressed me as 'Mr. Marc", not "Mr. Mark". When sending Adex Mol the "information", I put my full name as "Mark Mackenzie Quelz", which must mean this lawyer who is such a "VERY BUSY MAN" either had the time to read Adex Mol's emails, or is in fact Adex Mol himself, the latter being more likely given the situation. Another likely possibility is that there are two friends who have been doing this together since the beginning. Either way it's not important.
I responded with this:
Ok. Excellent. Just for my personal protection, do not include a
return address on any mail you send out to me. Thank you very much. A
pleasure doing business with you.
-M. Quel
I haven't recieved a response since. I'm not sure if he/they were stupid enough to try and get my account (if he/they did, it must have been embarassing to find out that there was no client called "Mark Mackenzie Quelz", let alone a bank by the given name to find such a client at).
If two days pass without me hearing anything from them, I'm going to send an email asking where my money is.
