Dear Gini (Cuz)


I would not answer, as it encourages them to then tag you with spy ware et. But, if I was going to reply, this is how I would do it...

Dear Sir's or madam:
I regret to inform you that you have been duped. Every member of our family is a con-artist, without exemption. If the late Heroth Otway, is in fact the Heroth Otway I presume he is (or was) stick a pin in him for me to be sure he is dead. I doubt they were his kids, he often borrowed children for his con games, often resulting in death or disfigurement to said children, and the woman with him was likely his sister not his wife, and stick a pin in her as well. If she yelps, her name is Pinga, (pronounced (ping - ga or some times Ethel-twart-bea-eff-nee-waite) and she is a wonderful canasta player. Ask her if she has my pinkie ring, and tell her if she does not return it, I will kill her dog, Fargo.
If in fact, Heroth is in fact dead, you must bury him very deep, as we Otways smell TERRIBLE after death, due to all the cheep booze we guzzle in life, and our graves are often infested with all sorts of vermin, insects, and huxters trying to make one last dime on our poor assed lives.
Thank you for your misplaced concern,
Avoid us in future

Larry, there is no point in replying to these people just to admonish them or score points (and yeah I know you didn't reply anyway), BUT ...

The only way you can affect these scam artists is by wasting their time. I always send a brief reply back telling them I am very interested and how can I help. I also say I am coming out on business to their country in ten days time and can we meet up at the local Sheraton.

They invariably reply that that would be nice but first they need your bank details phone no. etc, etc.

I reply airily that there is no need for them to concern themselves about such mundane details, time enough for all that when we meet up in Lagos (or wherever). At this point I always express concern about their financial state and ask whether they could use some money to tide them along until I arrive in their country and we finally unlock the $25,000,000.

Nine times out of ten they will say they need $6,000 to cover expenses for their attorneys or whatever, to which I reply a day later that I have sent the money by Western Union, and I furnish them with a test question and a fictitious dispatch number.

Now, to further screw them up, you tell them that the money is made out to the name of the person purporting to be the widow/orphan or whatever, because invariably they ask you to make the money payable to a different name (supposedly accountant or lawyer)

They will then respond asking you to change the name of the payee.

You then reply saying you have checked the status of your money transfer and you have found that the money has already been collected at a specific branch office (easily found by Googling). You can act hurt at this point and upbraid them for their duplicity.

The point of this is that they will almost certainly take time out to go to the agent in question and try to find out whether the money was in fact paid.

Here are the most recent exchanges in my latest correspondence with Mrs Rose Obaseki

Dear Rose

I have been today to the Western Union office where I transferred the funds ( South Dixie Highway Miami ) to monitor the status of my money transfer, and was informed that the money has been picked up by Mrs Rose Obaseki at 3.15 today (Friday) local time.

The branch at which the money was picked up was   

Zenith International Bank,Plot 84, Jose Adeogun Street ,Victoria Island

I therefore assume you have in fact managed to receive the money according to my instructions, and can I now assume you are in a position to recive the balance, which I shall round up to $3,000 ?

My trip to Nigeria is imminent, and I want all loose ends tidied up before I meet up with you.

Yours in God

Dear Thomas Dixon,



Be informed that this transaction is not a joke; it is either you are with us or you are out. I feel you are taking us for granted, by giving us cock and bull stories or may be trying to play with our integrity by not abiding to the rule, in the first place I did not ask you for money so why bothering your self with lies, I suggest that you recall your money, I'm no more interested. All I believe is that so long there is life I have hope. if you fill without you I am doom you are making a big mistake because you are not my God, I confided in you because I was thinking you are a God sent to rescue me. One thing it is always said that "the happiness of a man does not depend on how happy and well to do he is.......... but on how happy others can be because of him" so shall his blessing rain and God will be happy with him.



So if you think you are the grate or king Solomon, I do not think so because you are not your brother keeper neither do you love your neighbor as your self, I feel you are been reluctant to assist simply because I am black but God hate discrimination and be informed that all that glitters today might not be the Gold of tomorrow. I wonder why you are not brave enough to tell me that you are not ready to assist instead of tossing me around.



Take care.

FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIRMAN
NATIONAL TENDERS BOARD
CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE
FEDERAL SECRETARIAT COMPLEX
VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS_NIGERIA
TEL: [phone].
E-mail: [e-mail]


Dear Sir,

Re: US$20,500,000.00 OVER INVOICED CONTRACT PAYMENT/PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS VENTURE.

With reference to the above subject matter, I am impressed to contact you based on a good recommendation made about you by an associate of yours who holds you in a high esteem and who also trust your honesty and ability to assist us with the business transaction which we have at hand.

My name is Mr. Richard Williams, I am the chairman of the Nigerian contract award Committee here in Lagos - Nigeria and I am compelled to contact you for an assistance pursuant to the business which we have at hand.

As a contract award committee, we have consequently awarded several contracts to both foreign and indigenous companies which have been perfectly executed and gladly commissioned by the Federal Government of Nigeria. In the year 2001, we awarded a contract to a German Company for reconstruction, refurbishing and maintenance of crude oil pipe lines between Kaduna oil Refinery and Port Harcourt oil Refinery which contact number is NNPC/PED/KADREF/PHREF/01XB/2001.

The actual Contract value/amount was estimated at, US$110,500,000.00 (One hundred and Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars). But we intentionally over invoiced the contract value to the sum of US$131,000.000.00 (One Hundred and Thirty one Million, United States Dollars) leaving the sum of US$20,500,000.00 as over invoiced amount.

Right now the German firm has completed the final phase of the 3 years contract awarded to them and have consequently received their last install mental phase payment, leaving this US$20,500,000.00 floating in our record, unpaid.

Luckily to us, the President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, during his quarterly public/press briefing, to bring in more foreign investors, has ordered that all debts owed to foreign contractors should be paid to them without any further delay. It is therefore, based on this Presidential remark that we have decided to contact you, to assist us receive this money in your bank account.

As you may be aware of, in line with the laws of this country, Civil Servants are not allowed to own or operate foreign accounts. It is as a result of our intentions to transfer this money outside Nigeria and into any genuine overseas bank account that, we are contacting you to help us by forwarding to us, any bank account of yours, where you consider to be fit for us to transfer the money into hence we shall compensate you.

The procedure is that, we are going to process all the payment approval documents through the appropriate quarters concern, in favour of your company, as a sub contractor to the German firm that executed the contract originally. And within few days time, the payment approval documents would have been processed in your favour as the bonafide beneficiary of the sum of US$20,500,000.00
and the approval documents will be forwarded to you for your review and the transfer of funds will follow after wards.

Please, I want to assure you that, every necessary arrangements to transfer the money into your bank account have been water tightly completed and absolutely no risk or trouble of any kind is involved. We appreciate the fact that, you will not like to involve your self in any business that will put you in trouble or tarnish your good image, hence we guarantee you of a smooth transaction.

SHARING RATIO: If you can assist us to provide a genuine bank account where this money will be transferred into, we are going to give you 20% of the total sum ($20.5 Million) which is about US$4,100,000.00, 10% of the total amount is mapped out for any expenses that may be incured in the process of this transaction, both here and in your Country. Which means, any money/expenses made by each party will be paid back to the person from the 10% which is set aside for expenses. Then, 70% of the total money ($20.5 Million) which is about US$14,350,000.00, will be kept for me and my colleagues, pending
our arrival in your Country.

HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.

Dear Sir,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
I have a concealed business suggestion for
you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is thatI will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as weare going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and I will provide you with more details of this operation. our earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Wang Qin

He requires my "honest cooperation" on this.

I've x'd out a couple of numbers in the phone number just so small children reading this behind their parents' backs don't try to call the number and run up a huge bill as they try to make their parents into millionaires so they can have all of the ice cream and video games their hearts could desire. --SRS

All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy 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 Transfering the Assets and Capitals, valued at US$10.5million left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Company where this huge deposits were lodged.
The said Security Finance Company which is located overseas, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next three months. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, since you are of the same Nationality, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore,on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through this email or call me on +221-518xx45

(Beats all...)
Dear Sir,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Sajida al majid,
a widow to Late Sheik Ali Hassan al-Majid, I am 74years old, I am now a new
Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, i was
converted to christain while in Guy's Hospital london by some christain missionaries


From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite
obvious that I won't live more than six months according to my doctors. This is
because
the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

My late husband was killed during the US raid against terrorism in Iraq,
and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My late
husband
was very wealthy from oil dealings during the time of SADDAN HUSSEIN and after
his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.
The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than six months, so
I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of
the less privelage all over the world.
I selected your organisation after I prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum
of $20.000,000.00 Million Us Dollars to your organisation, for the
development and also for the less privileged.

Please I want you to note that, this fund is lying in a Security Company
here in london ,upon my instruction, my attorney,   will file in an application for the
transfer of
the money in your name or the name of your organisation.

Lastly I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for
the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without
Christ is vanity upon vanity.If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will
give you the crown of life.May the Grace of our Lord , the love of God,be with you.


I await your urgent reply to my private emaill address
([e-mail])
Yours in Christ,

Mrs Sajida al majid

I get lots of these. But where the hell is Lome-Togo?

Seems like Mr Peevers had a bad run of luck in the family.



From; Mr.Jefferson Anikom,
Banque Internationale De L'Afrique,
Lome-Togo.


My dear friend,

I wish this very information will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mr. Jefferson Anikom, with Banque Internationale De L'Afrique with regional office in Lome-Togo. We had a foreign client (Mr.Arthur Peever) who deposited the sum of US$7.5million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with our bank. Unfortunately,this client was among the victims of EGYPTAIR FLIGHT NO.990 that crashed on the 31-10-1999 in U.S.A. Confirmable from the website; . But, since that year after the death of our client, we have not had anybody that comes for the claims of this money as the second next of kin to our client since his wife whom he made the next of kin was also involved in the accident and dead too. A situation I have monitored closely with my position in our bank.

Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before and after his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the second next of kin for the past years now, I have removed the file to my "private vault". I now humbly solicit for your assistance in this issue. I wish to present you as the second next of kin to this our client so as to claim out this money, before it is remmited into the fedral account where other people may aswell claim it directly without going to this lenght. I have taken every necessary precautionary measures concerning this issue and arrangement has been concluded by me in achieving this goal, provided you will follow my instructions in the process. I am only waiting for your response to enable me move the funds to your agreed safe account. This does not have any risk provided you give me your assistance and support.

I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I will furnish you with the full details and what to do concerning this deal. What you stand to gain would be discussed and it is negotiable before the deal commences.

Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response to my request stating your wish in this deal.

Kind regards,

Mr.Jefferson Anikom.

Here's a brilliant example of a scammer that got his come-uppance... this is genuine, and I scanned it from the Manchester Evening News (UK) a few weeks ago...

MINNIE MOWSE OUTSMARTS PRINCE JOE

How tables were turned on conman

BY DON FRAME

A COMPUTER conman got a taste of his own medicine when he tried to trick a Manchester man out of cash.

The fraudster, calling himself Prince Joe Eboh, and falsely claiming to be the chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, made contact by email.

He said that if the man would agree to store £13 million of 'surplus cash' in his bank account, he would be rewarded with an interest payment of £2.5 million.

It's a well-known trick which has led to many Britons revealing their bank details and losing thousands of pounds in "processing fees".

What the conman didn't realise was that his intended victim was actually a Manchester computer wizard willing only to be known as Mike — who has set up his own website dedicated to humiliating the Nigerian tricksters.

And in a counter sting, Mike posed as a clergyman called Father Hector Barnett and conned the conman into sending HIM cash for "the Holy Church of the Order of the Painted Breast" which he then promptly gave to charity.

"Fr Hector" outsmarted Prince Joe, fabricating the bizarre religious order complete with nonsense prayer and initiation sign. He told the conman he could only do business if he first joined the church. And he demanded proof of initiation by asking for a photograph of Prince Joe with the order's logo painted on his right breast.

He even told him he was appointing a guru to look after his spiritual wellbeing - a Father Shiver Metimbers.

Prince Joe eagerly responded to all requests - sending back a photo of himself as requested and promising to set up a branch of the church in Lagos. But having become an initiate, the conman then set about trying to fleece his new "church", saying that before he could transfer his millions, Fr Hector would first need to pay a £10,000 processing fee.

'Fr Hector' replied to say that as the money was not going to be used for church purposes, a clearance certificate would have to be obtained to withdraw the cash from the donation fund.

The document would cost £50 and Prince Joe would have to pay. And pay Prince Joe did. He quickly coughed up the £50 and paid a further £25 for it to be delivered by courier. But instead of receiving the £10,000 processing fee from the church, he got an email from 'Fr Hector', "confessing" he had had a crisis of faith following the death of close friend "Minnie Mowse" and had quit the church to join a circus.

He said his circus pals had convinced him he would be better off keeping the church's £10,000 for himself. Two clowns, The Great Tossini and Koko the Klot, wanted him to invest in their snow export business.

Mike said: "The initial contact from Prince Joe was a classic scam and I decided to make him jump through a few hoops."

Nigerian scam financial adviser jailed - Business - www.smh.com.au




Nigerian scam financial adviser jailed
November 4, 2004

A former financial adviser who swindled investors out of more than $1 million has been jailed for five years and three months.

County Court Judge Thomas Wodak ordered 58-year-old Robert Andrew Street to serve a minimum term of four years.

Street pleaded guilty to five counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception between September 2000 and August 2002.

The judge said Street's five victims were duped into investing sums of between $20,000 and $620,000.

Street, of suburban Mitcham, obtained $1,039,910 as a financial adviser while acting for Grosvenor Securities Pty Ltd, a licensed securities dealer.

He then transferred the money overseas after being approached by a person claiming to be a Nigerian government representative.

The judge said Street persuaded his victims to part with their cash while giving financial planning advice on retirement and superannuation schemes, wealth creation and other aspects of investment.

He said Street had suffered from bipolar disorder for more than a decade at the time of the offences.

He added: "I regard that as a serious psychiatric illness short of insanity."

But the gravity of Street's offences was illustrated by the fact that some of the people he cheated were friends, he said.

The court heard that Street transferred the money overseas after receiving a proposal from an unnamed person purporting to be a representative of a Nigerian government committee.

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission said that person had offered to transfer $65 million to Street on payment of "certain upfront fees".

Mr Wodak told Street: "I must denounce your conduct. The betrayal of trust implicit in your criminality, its predatory nature, affecting the economic wellbeing of the victims and the community generally are all features of what you did, which must be taken into account in your sentence."

Dear friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I
have no intentions of causing you any pains. As you
read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,
because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name
is Larry Moore, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I
have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal
cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity
in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of
medicine and right now, I have only about a few months
to live according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone not even myself but my
business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous,
I was always hostile to people and only focus on my
business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all this as I now know that there is more
to life than just wanting to have or make all the
money in the world. I believe when God gives me a
second chance to come to this world I would live my
life a different way from how I have lived it. Now
that I know my time is near, I have willed and given
most of my properties and assets to my immediate and
extended family members and as well as a few close
friends.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,
as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do
on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and
Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly,
I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked
members of my family to close one of my accounts and
donate the money, which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the
money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I
have left for them. The last of my money which is the
huge cash deposit that I have with security firm
Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and
let them know that it is I Larry Moore that is making
this generous donation. I am writing this from my
laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my
time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and
assist me with good heart.
God be with you,
Larry Moore.

Ho Hum, just today's crop in the mail from Burkina Faso, Afghanistan, Chechnya, The Netherlands!!

FROM THE DESK OF Mr.LEESON AMIDOU,
C/O LIBERIAN Embassy,OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
PHONE:00226]76 51 99 73.

Dear friend,

Compliments.

I am writting to you courtesy of the Ambassador,Liberian
embassy,Ouagadougou,Burkina faso.And I sincerely wishes to contact you to share this business deal with me.

I was the chairman of the Gold and Diamond Mining,Reffining and Exports contracts award committee, under the defunct and ousted president Charles Taylor of Liberia who is currently in assylum in Nigeria following the United Nation's order for his exit from office so as to stop the Liberian crisis.

During my tenure as the chairman of the Gold and Diamond Mining,Refining and Exports contracts award committee,a contract of thirty five million US dollar [US$35M] was awarded to one expertriate/foreign contractor named Late Mr.Tolbert Wiliams.But unfortunately,this contractor was killed in the reccent Liberian crisis and infact he already completed the said contract but yet to be paid before his tragic death in the war.And no trace of the
family of Late Mr.Tolbert Williams could be made as all these people were killed in the war aswell.

I was able to divert the said sum to Bank Of Africa,Ouagadougou,Burkinafaso,under my personal supervision,inconjuction
with the ambassador of Liberia,Ouagadougou,Burkinafaso as an unpaid contract
sum ready to be paid to any available foreign citizen or into the foreign account of such citizen who could stand as a partner to the Late Mr.Tolbert Williams to claim the above mentioned unclaimed contract sum under agreement with my humble self and the Liberian ambassador in Ouagadougou,BurkinaFaso.

Therefore,upon this discovery I contacts you to co-opertae with me,so that both of us will join hands together to have the above mentioned sum paid into your bank account in your home country to warrant me to come over with my wife and two children for assylum and business investments.

On the crediting of the said sum in your bank account,50% of the total sum will be for me.
While 40% of the total sum will be for you.And 10% of the total sum will be used to rectify any expence made on the course of this transaction.And I am of the faith that you will remain faithful to me on the arrival of the said sum in your account.

I look forward to receiving your help as soon as possible to enable me to leave this country,BurinaFaso,where I am presently staying as a refugee and ready to come over to your country to reside and invest on viable and luctrative investments with my share in this deal.

I am here to direct you,as soon as I receives your honest acceptance.
                           Yours faithfully,
                           Mr.LEESON AMIDOU.

From:Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens of Netherlands

I am Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens from Netherlands. I am married to Dr.Franklyn Haafkens who worked with ChevronTexaco in Nigeria for twenty years before he died in the year 2000.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot
in the Niger delta region of Nigeria.He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region.

Before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I
decided not to re-marry . When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with a
bank in the Netherlands.

Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my
behalf if I can not come over.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.

It is my last wish to see that this money is invested the proceed at the end of every year distributed among charity organisation.

I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because i know that there are alot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia,
18 Bank Place Melbourne,
Australia,
12th November, 2004.

Dear Respected friend,

This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for your unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction requiring maximum confidence. Though this approach appears desperate,I can assure you that whatever questions you would need to ask or anyother thing you will need to know regarding this proposal will be adequately answered to give you a clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful conclusion.

My name is Dr. Celestine Hooper, Head of securities, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Melbourne. On December 6, 1998, a foreign consultant/contractor with the Cadbury Kenya Ltd,Mr. Mohamed Showadfy Ahmed,made a numbered time (fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00, (Thirty Million United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Cadbury Kenya Ltd, that Mr. Mohamed Ahmed died in the october,1999 Egypt air rash.You can visit the sites to confirm this:

http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html

On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Mohamed Ahmed didnot declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in our Bank. I have carefully moved out these funds(US$30million)from our bank as sundry funds to an offshore Deposit Company in the European Union. From past experiences, I know that no one will ever come forward to claim the deceased funds.
According to Australian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,the funds will be Unclaimable and revert to the ownership of the Australia Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction with a colleague (the Chief Operating Officer in the bank) now seek your permission to allow my attorney do a CHANGE OF WNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT of stated funds from the! "deceased" to your name, so that the funds(US$30million) would be released to you as the new owner (on behalf of my colleague and myself). We are writing you because, as public servants, we cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than 160,000:00. Consequently, I will present you as the owner of the funds in the Deposit Company so you can be able to claim them. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately;

1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers

Once I receive these information, I will prepare the necessary
documents which will put you in place as the new owner of the funds. The money will then be released to your custody by the Deposit Company, for us to share in the ratio of 70% for us and 30% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paper work for this transaction will be done by the solicitor and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and my confidential phone number for further explanation that will help you understand the transaction.

No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive, please we implore you to observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because we shall require your assistance to invest our share in your country (buying of properties like real estate etc). This is why your urgent action and response is of priority to enable us conclude this transaction in a timely and professional manner.I await your urgent response please through my alternative/private email below:

[e-mail]

Thanks for anticipated and kind co-operation.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Celestine Hooper

has anybody seen this one?? has anybody every profited off of this?

If I must be fair to myself and to all, I would want to believe that this mail may keep you a little uneasy considering the fact that we do not know each other but frankly, that's the primary reasoin why I chose to contact you. I really am so sorry as I never meant to put you off-guard by what I intend to tell you here and will appreciate it greatly if you do understand totally my situation and position regarding the subject matter that I am divulging here.

The political situation in my country here, Cote d'Ivoire has indeed dealt a great blow to me and my family. I have considered many options regarding my condition and resolved that I must forge ahead with my life if not for any toher thing to fulfil my dreams and the good intentions of my father who was murdered in cold blood by some group of rebel vagabonds. Their gruise was that my late father was suspected to be opposing their political ambitions with his wealth hence he was marked and eventually eliminated. My late father was a very wealthy businessman and contractor and excelled in all his endeavours. I was away at school in Ghana when I got the news of my father's assasination early last year and felt devastated as my father was everything to me. The assailants capitalised on the rebel activities in my area Bouake to kill my father as they claimed that he didn't want to join their group and fight the government hence he would be killed. The governement w! as handicapped to do anything since the rebels controlled the town till now. When I came back, I was advised not to stay in the area since my father has been buried already. However, before now, I am aware of the fund ($17.5m) he deposited with a bank here in Cote d'Ivoire which he intended to transfer overseas for investments which he did not achieve following his sudden demise. He made me the next of kin to the fund and had before now explained a whole lot of things concerning the fund to me in the event that he is not able to carry on with the project.

I have tried severally since the sudden death of my father to have access to the fund but was denied as according to the bank officials, the agreement of deposit the bank had with my late father, I should not be allowed to have a direct access to the fund unless I am 24 years age or I should have someone who is older than the stipulated age to interced on my behalf with my consent. This is why I am contacting you now to help me get the fund released and transferred into your account in your country so that you could have me come over to your country to complete my education while you take care of the investment of the fund.

I shall be glad to get your positive response so that I will proceed to giving you the bank contact details to make the contacts and request for the release and transfer of the fund to you.

Awaiting your response, I remain as always,

In His loving arms,

Dike Daniella Ugoego

Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,the Nigerian mining corporation that Mr. Stanley K Gram died from an automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a (WILL) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Stanley K Gram did not declare any kin or relation in his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work in my Bank. This
sum US$14.2000.000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has ever come forward to claim the fund. According to our Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Stanley K Gram so that the fruits of this old man?s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, you have to provide immediately

(1) your full name and address
(2) yourprivate phone/fax number
(3) A means of identification either a copy of your
international passport or Driver?s

An Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the service of an accredited Attorney for the drafting and notarization of the ?WILL? and to obtain the necessary documents and the of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world, which you will
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ration of 60% for me and 40% for you.

There is no risk at all as the Attorney will do the paper work for this transaction. This transaction will be perfected well.Upon your response, I shall then provide with more details and relevant documents that will help you to understand the transaction.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Actually, the real scams are the ones like this that arrived in my spam folder today. I started poking around in it and found a really bogus return address even though they send you to a very real looking web site. This is like the fake bank emails, where they want you to visit your "regular site" (conveniently spoofed to looke identical to the authentic site) and "logon." You're sunk if you do it. And who knows--the site where the information is bounced may be in Nigeria. It could be anywhere.

And this just in from Liberia.......

Dear Friend,

First and foremost, I apologize for using this medium to communicate a business proposal of this magnitude , this is solely because of the confidentiality nature repose on the net; before I go on further, I must be grateful to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Johnson Alala a Liberian. I was formerly the chief campaign manager to Mr. Charles Taylor the president of Liberia and I was also a personal aid to the Minister of trade in the depose administration of Mr. Charles Taylor.Due to my position and closeness with the President, I absconded with Thirty.Five Million United States Dollars (US$30.5M) which was part of the money that was initially meant for campaigning for President Charles Taylor re-election into office before the recent crisis that led to his depose from office. Presently I have been able to move the funds diplomatically to a reputable Finance Company in the Netherlands where I now reside as refugee; and I do not have the intention of returning home for fear of being assassinated by members of the opposition party to Mr. Charles Taylor under whose administration I served.MY REQUEST As a result of my present situation as a refugee who cannot have access to own an account or accounts, I am therefore faced with the dilemma of seeking for a trustworthy individual/firm that can advice me in making the rightful investment as well as to provide account(s) where the funds will be lodge into. More also, we are at the interim interested in buying properties for residence as my family and I will be residing there in the near future. Please be aware that my family are also in a safe location and I am in contact with them.

COMMISSION/REMUNERATION As regards your commission/remuneration, I and my immediate family have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum and also set aside 5% for all your expenses (i.e telephone bills, traveling expenses, hotel bills and other miscellaneous expenses). NOTE: I shall commit half of my own share of the total sum into a joint venture project preferably in the purchase of Real Estate or other profitable business venture within your knowledge existing in your area. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds in question belong to me alone. As soon as I get your consent, I will furnish you with the details and contact of the Security Company and after a few more details have being communicated, we shall then proceed to arrange for a face to face meeting in order to know each other better and also discuss the terms and conditions of the partnership extensively.I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success hereafter and it will be a long lasting business association. If you have any question, do not fail to contact me with my e-mail address ([e-mail]) I await your anticipated co-operation.

Yours truly,
Mr. Johnson Alala.

I am Princess JOY , daughter of HRH King Solomon Abonime, the king of Ogoni Kingdom. I am 25 years old and a graduate of Mass Communication. My father was the king of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil
producing area in Nigeria. He was in charge of reviving royalties from the multi-national oil companies and government on behalf of the oil producing communities in Nigeria.

After the hanging of the Ogoni Nine(9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late dictator General Sani Abacha, my father suffered stroke and died in August27th last year. But before his death, he called me and told me he has fiftheen Million United States Dollars(USD,15,000,000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited in a Security vault company in eroupe. He advised me not to tell anybody except my mother who is the last wife of the (8) eight wives that he married.

My mother did not bear any male child for him.Which implies that all my father's properties, companies e.t.c., we have no share in them because my mother has no male child according to African Tradition. My
father therefore secretly gave me all the relevant documents of the said money, and told me that I should use this money with my mother and my younger sisters because he knows that tradtionally, if he dies we cannnot get anything, as inheritance. He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign assistannce and that I should not invest this money here in Nigeria because of his other wives and male children who happen to be my elders.

I am soliciting for your immediate assistance to get a Bungalow for us, where I will live with my mother and two younger sisters and further advise me where and how I will invest the balance money overseas, possibly on products of your company and other profitable
ventures.

I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this money out of eroupe to your country where we can invest this money judiciously with you.
You are entitled to a reasonable part of this money based on our agreement, and God will bless you as you help us.PLease reply through my e-mail Looking forward to hear from you as soon as possibleand also my lawyer email address: ([e-mail]).

Regards.
Princess JOY.

Fighting con artists
Canada teams up to protect Americans

By Jim Haley, Herald Writer

VANCOUVER, B.C. - It's a $70 million-a-year business, and the operators have few scruples. Their customers are mainly Americans, usually elderly people who hand over thousands of dollars - even their life's savings - to telemarketers who befriend and cajole them over the phone. The con artists often are Nigerians who hold Canadian citizenship. They use the U.S-Canadian border as a shield to avoid prosecution. About 5,000 U.S. citizens reported falling victim to the scheme in 2004, according to PhoneBusters, a Canadian-based scam reporting center. It's not known how many other victims simply don't report being taken.

The problem is so big that federal governments on both sides of the border have joined forces to put the boiler rooms out of business, prosecute offenders and recover money for victims. "We know where they're operating out of, and we're not too happy about it," said Gord McRae, superintendent of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commercial Crimes Section in British Columbia. His division includes Project Emptor - as in "caveat emptor," or "buyer beware" in Latin.

Project Emptor is one of three international task forces to combine the resources of the RCMP, the FBI, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and British Columbia consumer officials. Customs and postal authorities on both sides of the border are also involved. "I want to make their lives as miserable as possible," McRae said of the con artists. The task force hopes to drives the bad guys out of business by bringing them to trial in the Unites States, where they could wind up "getting some real prison time," said assistant U.S. District Attorney Ellyn Lindsay of Los Angeles. "Short of that, if one boiler room ceases to be in business because of real consequences, that's pretty good," Lindsay said.

Lindsay relies on getting the Canadian criminals to the United States, where she has prosecuted 18 of them in the past four years. On the Canadian side, Bruce Coleman of the RCMP concentrates on intercepting packages and mail from the United States that contain checks or money orders from unwitting victims. He has intercepted about 900 mailings in the last year, but that's just a fraction of the money being sent over the border. "We have no idea how much we're missing, but we probably are getting a half of 1 percent. It's really brutal," Coleman said.

Granite Falls victim

Edie George, 80, of Granite Falls recently got a notice saying she had won a $4 million sweepstakes. "I was so excited I spilled my coffee on it," she said. She was directed to send in $20 for "processing" her winnings, and was told not to tell anyone about her winnings until the money had been put into her account. She sent the money. Instead of a big prize, she was deluged with more mail. She was winning lotteries all over the planet. "Then I started getting more and more," she said. "The more I waited, the more I got."

Be on your guard if a caller tells you:
* You must act now or the offer won't be good.
* You've won a free gift, vacation or prize, but you have to pay for postage and handling.
* You must send money, give a credit card or bank account number, or have a check picked up by a courier.
* You don't need to check out the company with anyone, and you don't need to speak to anyone - including members of your own family.
* You can't afford to miss this "high-profit, no-risk" offer. Some tips to avoid fraud * Don't buy from an unfamiliar company.
* Always ask for and wait until you receive written material about any offer or charity.
* Get the salesperson's name, business identity, telephone number, street address, mailing address and business license number before you transact business.
* Pay only after services are delivered.
* Don't pay for a "free prize." If a caller tells you the payment is for taxes, he or she is breaking the law.
* Never send money or give out personal information such as credit card numbers, Social Security number or date of birth to unknown people. Where to call If you or a family member is a victim of telemarketing fraud, report it to the Federal Trade Commission, 877-382-4357, or to www.ftc.gov. If it's a Canadian call, you also can call PhoneBusters, a central reporting location, in Canada, 888-495-8501 or www.phonebusters.com. Source: FBI and FTC
Initial contact comes via mail, telephone or e-mail, investigators said.
