I am Mr. Archie Kane I am Executive Director of Lloyds TSB, 71 Lombard Street London EC 3BS. I am in search of an agent to assist us in the transfer of £20,000,000.00 GBP (Twenty Million British pounds) and subsequent investment in properties in your country.
A few years ago I picked up a computer that had been dumped on the street and took it home.
I couldn't help it, so I had a look to see what had been left on it (I just plugged it in and booted it). It had obviously been a family's computer. There wasn't very much on it at all. It was running Windows ME, and it had a few word documents that were class assignments for a few of the kids (probably in years five and seven, I'd guess), and two word documents in Dad's account.
The documents in Dad's account were responses to do a guy like the above. Dad was obviously religious, and saying how it was so great to be talking to such a lovely person from such a troubled place as "Nigeria" and that he'd be more than happy to help transfer the money for the charity, Praise God My Good Friend, etc.
Seems to me like Dad got scammed and then banished the computer from the house. Just took the whole thing and went and dumped it in the street.
