Anyone else getting spam via PMs from Mountain Project, this was in my inbox:

I am Barrister Mamadou Savadogo Esq, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to a national Of your country,who used to work with a Multinational company here, which after shall be referred to as my client, He is now late with his wife and only daughter in a ghastly car accident along and unfortunately All occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$9 Million left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared on serviceable by the Finance house where this huge amount were deposited. The said Finance House has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days. I am seeking for your sincere partnership since you share the same last names with my late client and probably from the same country, Do not hesitate to send me the following information below for easy communication and endeavor to reply through my private email address (adv.mamadou.savadogo@gmail.com ) for more details:

Your Full names, Address, Moble Telephone Number, Occupation

Those e-mails are great. So transparently a scam.

My personal favorite from that one:

"He is now late with his wife and only daughter.." Well I hope he shows up. Being late is not good.

And while you're giving him this personal info:

"Your Full names, Address, Moble Telephone Number, Occupation"

Might as well give him your SSN, mother's maiden name and driver's license number. You want to be sure to get that 9 Mil, and I don't mean 9 mil rope!
