Voici le type de fishing le plus célèbre et certainement le plus répandu. C'est celui qu'on appelle le Fishing Nigérian ou l'escroquerie à la nigérianne, car à l'origine, les mails venaient d'escrocs venant du Nigérian.
Le principe est simple et c'est toujours le même.
Un ancien dirigeant de banque ou un enfant d'un ancien dirigeant de banque cherche à sauver quelques millions de dollars ou d'euros. Et vous demande de servir d'intermédiaire pour faire sortir l'argent du pays. En vous promettant, bien sûr, une commission importante.
Les ''naïfs'' qui ont répondu se sont fait délester de plusieurs milliers d'euros. Moi, je ne les plaints pas, car il faut quand même réaliser, qu'ils se rendent complices, de part le fait d'accepter la proposition. Les ''naïfs'' acceptent de faire sortir le soit-disant argent (qu'ils prennent pour argent comptant) du pays pour le planquer en France. Ce qui les intéressent, ce n'est pas la ''triste histoire'' que les escrocs utilisent, mais bien la perspective d'une énorme commission.
Et pour ceux qui ''tombent'' dans le panneau, cela finit toujours pareil : on leur demande de l'argent pour avancer certaines dépenses, de payer des billets d'avions, etc... toujours avec la promesse d'une commission plus importante. Parfois, ils rencontrent les escrocs qui leur montrent une valises pleine de billet, ce qui les incitent à donner encore plus... La part du gâteau est trop appétissante pour y résister.
Et parfois, hélas, au-delà, de la perte d'argent, certains ''naïfs'' vont faire le déplacement jusqu'à des endroits ou des pays assez dangereux et se font enlever... avec demande de rançon.
NE SURTOUT PAS DONNER DE SUITE A CES MESSAGES (vous pouvez répondre que vous avez transmis le mail et l'adresse email à la police, ce qui force l'escroc à changer d'email)
Exemple d'un message reçu en 2005. J'en ai plein d'autres en stock que je mettrai en ligne régulièrement.

Salam alikum"ATTN;Dear
I am DR ZONGO MUSA, I work with the INERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA(IBA) in CotonouBenin republic. It is my wish to solicite your assistance in a business transactionthat will be of benefit to you andI.During our investigation and auditingin the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belongingto a deceased customer of the bank HAJI EL JAMAL ZOUE, a citizen of Lebanonwho died on therecent plane crash in Cotonou Benin republic on the 26th ofDec. 2003.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enablethe whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount was USD$5m( five million united states dollars).
As it may intrest you to know, I got your contact through my country chamber of commerce and international relations here in Cotonou Benin Rep.I believeyou will be able and capable to champion a business of such magnitude withoutany problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fundas the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval andtransfer this money to your account if you indicate your intrest has been madeby me.In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my positionin this country as a banker,we are not allowed to operate a foreign accountand would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.This is the actual reason why it will requirea second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kinto thebank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification andclarification by bank officails.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. Onsmooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of thetotal sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expensesthat may arise during the time of transfer, while the remaining 60% willbe for me and my family.
Please,you have been advised to keep business as asecret between you andi for i am still in service andintend to retire from service after i concludethis deal with you. As soon as you confirm to me your willingness to assit me in this bussiness i will send to you the deceased bank account informationsand Application which you will apply to the bank for inward transfer of thisfund to your account. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in thebank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come downto your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentagespreviously indicated and furtherinvestment,either in your country or
anyother country you may advice us toinvest in.
