UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES. T
The very official sounding “Mrs Inga-Brett Ahlenius” spoils her ridiculous story in two ways.
1) She is trying to tell me that she has met with several senior officials about my “fund” – but clearly doesn’t know who I am as she addresses me as “Dear Sir/Madam” – if she was really negotiating on my behalf for $10m, you’d expect her to address me by name.
2) She is using a rocketmail email address. You’d think he UN would be able to afford to provide her with an email address of her own!
Just ignore this ridiculous scammer – who will start asking you to send money if you make the mistake of replying.

Get Back To Me Asap
It’s been a while since I had a scam email claiming to come from Song Li – or Song Lile. He never did seem to know what his name is. This one comes from the Netherlands. I imagine the story is the same – Mr Li or Mr Lile – has access to millions of dollars which he’ll share with me – or you – or………….. no-one.
Just ignore this idiot scammer – who only wants to take money from you by charging you for fees.

Re:
I bet “Amelie et Patrick” live in Brussels. How am I doing? They have no interest in catering to your “pleasures” – the only thing they are interested in is taking your money. They will book you in, take your money, give you a fake address – et voila – you will find yourself on the streets of Brussels with nowhere to stay.
Ignore these scammers.

ATTENTION MY FRIEND!!
I’ve never heard of “Mr Sanders Week” and I’m certainly not his “FRIEND!!” I don’t believe for one moment that he has access to $15m and I can’t imagine why he should suddenly decide to share it with me. Come to that why is his “desktop” writing to anyone? Does it have a mind of its own?
Just ignore this moron of a scammer – if you reply, he will start asking you to send money to pay fees.
FROM THE DESKTOP
OF MR SANDERS WEEK
BLAKWOODS INTERNATIONAL.
BANK MALAY.
ATTENTION:
I seek for your co-operation; my name is Mr.Sanders Week A Personal Accountant to Late Engineer Michael, a citizen of your country , who used to work with French oil major total, company here in. Herein, shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2004, Mr. Michael, his wife and his three children were involved in a drastic car accident along Hilai/Kuala Lumpur Express Road. Unfortunately he and his three kids lost their lives immediately in the event of the accident, while the wife was taken to the hospital where she died three days later. Their bodies were kept in the mortuary for five months, in order for the authority, to carry out a proper investigation on how to locate their surviving relatives. They have checked all available public files and embassies, but all their efforts had proved abortive, as they could not fund any of their relatives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, no one has been coming for his account that he deposited with my bank (Blakwoods Internation Bank). And due to the banking law and regulation of 1985, sub section 18d page 103 chapter 11 of constitution governing all banking policy, and in accordance to the banking decree 003 sub section 45 which stated that any deposited fund which remains unclaimed after the existing period of four years will be confiscated by the national treasury department as unclaimed fund. And this has brought too much agitation in our bank between boards of directors on how to declare this account unserviceable, base on the fact that the deceased has no next of kin. After the meeting held by the executives of Blakwoods Bank with the personal attorney to late Michael on 15th of November 2008, they have all agreed to extend the date to 30th of September 2010.
Consequently to this, I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before the national treasury department gets them confiscated or declare unserviceable by Blakwoods International bank Plc Where the deceased have an account Valued at about fifteen Million, three hundred and forty five thousand U.S dollars (USD 15, 345,000.00). The bank has issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated with in the next few days. Since no one has been able to locate their relatives for over four years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that this account valued at fifteen Million, three hundred and forty five thousand U.S dollars (USD 15, 345,000.00) can be paid to you and then you and I Can share the money. All the necessary documents concerning this claim are with the Bank legal department, All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this.
Get back to me for immediate commencement of this deal.
Yours Truly,
Mr. Sanders Week
Where does the world thin that most scams come from? I’ll let you answer that.
“I know – I want to be a scammer. So where would be a good place to say I live to encourage people to believe that I’m genuine? Oh yes, Nigeria! Oh yes – and I’ll tell my victims to send me $100. That should do it – I’m sure they’ll believe me.” .
Ignore this madman of scammer. He needs to get a proper job instead of trying to rip off victims and take money from them

This scammer starts by telling me she is a single mother of three (why would I need to know that???) Then goes on to tell me that she is a dishonest Government minister who can get access to money that isn’t hers and send it to me.
Does that sound likely? Of course not. I did get one bit right – this scammer is dishonest. In fact he’s a liar and a thief, who just wants to get his hands on your money by charging you fees. Ignore him.

Hello
s_girl12 writes to me from a Japanese Yahoo email address to tell me that she is called “Demonth Oscar” and is in London. She also seems to be a little confused about which firm of solicitors she works for – initially she tells me she is with “Demonth & Associates”, but then she tells me she is with “Rignald and Associate”.
I think this confused scammer needs to go back to scam school – or better still get a job and earn an honest living.
If you make the mistake of replying to this moron (pardon use of language), you will find yourself being asked to send money. Ignore this stupid scammer.
DEMONTH & ASSOCIATES SOLICITORS & LEGAL ADVISERS LONDON, U.K. We wish to notify you AGAIN that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of ?10,600,000.00 GBP (Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance. We therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed upon your acceptance. Upon your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance, your name as written on your International passport, your occupation, your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary LEGAL documents in your name at our high court probate division for the release of the funds in question.

hello
This scam was forwarded to me by a friend who runs bed and breakfast accommodation. She commented “the old con again” – and she’s right. If you make the mistake of replying the scammer will start spinning you a long convoluted story about the couples wanting to pay by credit card – and then tell you he/she can’t take their cards then telling you to charge the couples when they arrive, but meanwhile asking you to forward money to a car hire firm/insurance company/anything they can think of.
I’m sure you can see that you will be out of pocket, and the scammer will disappear.

A reader sent me this scam. She says “I recently received this email offering me a job, my details had been accessed via a cv I posted online. I was curious and replied to the first email but became suspicious when the second email requested my online bank login!
The second email appeared to be from a company address and the links to the website are real-the website is quite convincing.
Fortunately I Googled the post when I became suspicious and didn’t proceed any further.”
The website is a fake. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a similar site. It was registered on 23 August 2010. Three is no such company as “Monet UK Group” and no company anywhere ever employs payments processing agents. To see how these scams work, read the Scam Victims page of this site.
Without too much effort I found several similar sites, all presumably produced by the same group of scammers:

Meanwhile – delete his ridiculous email and don’t reply – otherwise you will find he starts asking you for money.

Dear Friend
Another scammer who seems to think the world is full of “trunk boxes” full of cash. All of which, strangely, seem to be offered to me.
If “Mrs Elsa” really had millions of dollars in cash, she certainly wouldn’t want to be telling thousands of random strangers about it. She doesn’t have millions of dollars – she is, though, hoping that you will send her a few hundred dollars – as she is hoping you will fall for her scam and start sending her money for fees.
Greetings to you and your entire family.
i want to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you, and i believe that you will do the same in your next mail.
I am Mrs Anna Jaime Elsa from the Philippines, widow to the late former minister of tourism in Philippine who died on the 12th of Aug 2005. I inherited a total sum of $12.5 Million American dollars from my late husband, the money was concealed in a metallic trunk box and was deposited with a security company services in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire, that was because I needed a maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body or government organization can trace the where about of the money until
I am ready and prepare to claim it. but the Security services didn’t know the real content of the box, because it was deposited under a secret arrangement as a family valuables.something intrested me most before sending you this email and i really want to chose you for this transaction.though i barely know who you are… but, i believe you will find it in your mind to help me out of this present fate.I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in your country for onward lodgement into your account for the purpose of future investment with your percentage of which we shall chat on soon. I will send you the Authorization Certificate to call them in my next mail which is the Certificate of deposit that they gave me on the very day when the box of money was deposited under their company.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Mrs Anna Jaime Elsa.

Oh look – a scammer who thinks it is a good idea to tell me he is from Nigeria! Sorry sunshine – as my dear departed aunt would have said “I’m not so green as I’m cabbage looking” – quaint Northern phrase, which probably doesn’t mean anything!
This is such a long, convoluted story that I lost interest part way through.
As usual, all this scammer wants is your money. If you make the mistake of replying you will find a scammer asking you to send money for fees. Delete the email.

What a convoluted load of rubbish. This scammer doesn’t have $16.2m – and if he did he certainly wouldn’t give it to you – or me – or anyone else.
All this scammer wants is to get his hands on your money. Ignore him.
Hello my friend,
GOOD DAY !!!
My name is Wayne Haley, I am a war veteran with the United Nations troop in Afghanistan, on war against terrorism. I served in the 1st Armoured Division in Kabul. Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq, I have been redeployed to come and work in Kabul on the platform of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the European Union on the war against terrorism.
On the other hand, I want to inform you that I and my partner (Trooper James Anthony Leverett) have the sum of 16.2million USD, which we got from crude oil deal in Iraq before he was killed by an explosion while on vehicle patrol. Due to this incident, I want you to receive this fund on my behalf as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here and come over to meet with you. Since we are working here on Official capacity I cannot keep this funds hence my contacting you.
I guarantee and ensure risk free of this deal, I want you to know that we have successfully moved this fund out to Europe with the help of a Red Cross agent and it was deposited with a bank which the deposit slips has been forwarded to me.
I will personally authorize the bank to transfer this fund to you upon the declaration of your assistance. I just need your acceptance and all is done. Since the death of my partner, my life is not guaranteed here anymore, so I have decided to share this fund with reliable and trusted person than the funds lodging in the bank for no interest.
I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldier’s here in Afghanistan. I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived so many suicide bomb attacks by the grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible with my e-mail address which is my only way of communication. Please all I need is your trust and honesty to ensure that my money will be safe in your custody , Please dont bother about the transfer cost, the transfer charges has been taken care off okay.
Regards, Sgt. W.D.Haley.

Have you noticed how many African scammers seem to think that we will believe that the world is full of boxes full of cash! Haven’t they heard of banks and electronic transfers? Nobody is going to send $4.1m of legal money in cash in a box! They aren’t going to send it to me and they aren’t going to send it to you, or any of the other thousands of people who received this email.
All this scammer wants is your money – and he/she doesn’t want your money sent in a box either – they will ask you to send it by Western Union or some other transfer service. Ignore this scammer.

Oh look – the unforgettable “Caravan Marvis” has appeared again. When he wrote to me in March (see here) the MD of the HSBC BANK UK was apparently called “Mrs Joan Coal” and her email address was a Hong Kong based Yahoo mail address. Now the HSBC is apparently headed by a lady called “Mrs Roseline Wood” who is using a “luckymail” email address. Oh yes, and I’m the world’s next super model with legs up to my armpits, a mega rich boyfriend and a bikini body that other women would kill for ………… errrr, not!
If you want to know what/who the Obama Foundation really are – this is a quote from their website –
“The Foundation will seek to help those – worldwide – who still do not have the basic necessities of life such as food, water and shelter. In short, we seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors. The foundation is entirely the idea of Abon’go Malik Obama, in memory of their father, and is not dependent on the endorsement of his brother, President, Barack Obama.”
They don’t send out random payments of $1m. Ignore this scammer, who has no connection with the Foundation and only wants one thing – your money.

HIS MESSAGE REQUIRES YOUR UTMOST ATTENTION
“Dieter Muller” tells me his client “died interstate”. He doesn’t tell me which states he was between when he died. Florida and Goergia perhaps? Life and death? Who knows? Come to think of it, who cares?
This scammer can’t even write a sensible letter, yet claims to “work with a major banking group”.
All this scammer wants is your money, and if you make the mistake of replying, money is what the scammer will start asking you for.
Hello,
Compliments of the day to you.
I am writing to you on a very important issue that requires your utmost attention. My name is D. Muller and I work with a major banking group in Switzerland.
The bank had conducted a standard process investigation in relation to matters Involving a client who had died interstate and nominated no next of kin / beneficiary to inherit the title (investment) made with our fiduciary firm. I was a part of the delegation of the bank that carried out the investigation. During the investigation we got confirmed and valid evidence that you are whom we seek. We had presented our findings to the bank’s management because it was agreed that our findings and evidence were overwhelming.
But to my surprise, the bank’s management has refused to officially call to your attention on this matter and have kept silent over it thus fueling my suspicion that some of those in management have a hidden agenda to keep this money to themselves as a practice I have seen before.
I am compelled to approach you confidentially to inform you of this matter and the issues around it as I feel you should know of this and claim what is yours. Frankly, I am not happy with what is happening in the bank and I am willing to confidentially guide and help you go about establishing this claim from the bank. I do not demand anything from you in return for this but will be happy with whatever you wish to show as gratitude when eventually you must have established your claim.
I have emphasized the word confidential because I wish to tread carefully with you on this so as not draw any witch-hunt on myself in the bank.
Now, I have every required information known to me that will help you and every step of the process will done in a legal manner. On receipt of a response from you, I will to furnish you with further details, documentations and advice. You can respond through this email dietermullprvt202@ymail.com
I hope to hear from you.
Yours truly,
Dieter Muller.
THANKS FROM MRS AISHA AL-OBEID

I HAVE ARRIVED AT JFK
“Mr Jimmy Edwards” tells me he’s arrived at JFK Airport. I’m soooooo pleased to hear it. Of course, if wants to deliver that $7.6m to me, he’ll have to get on the next plane out and head for Heathrow. Exactly what this idiot of a scammer wants is hard to tell. He might be after your address and personal details so he can break into your house (assuming you actually live in NY), but I suspect it’s most likely that he will start asking you for money – for taxi fares or whatever else he can think of. Ignore him.

“Sgt Jefferson” clearly isn’t fussy about who he sends his scam email to since he addresses me as “Dear Sir/Madam”. Any victim will do. He doesn’t care who you are.
I have not idea who “Sgt Jefferson” really is – but he isn’t a “Sgt” and he isn’t called Jefferson. He’s a scammer who wants to take your money. Ignore him.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a profitable business proposal for you. It is risk free and easy.
If you are interested,
get back to me for briefs and procedures.

Subject:RE: PAYMENT OF YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT VIA CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT
I know – “let’s make up a totally unbelievable scam email story, and just to make it sound authentic we’ll tell all our potential victims that it comes from Nigeria”. “Do you think anyone will believe us?” Probably not – no. At least, I hope they won’t.
Just ignore this scammer, who according to his/her email address comes from the Czech Republic.

RE: PAYMENT OF YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT VIA CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT
This is to inform you that the Presidency has stepped into the payment of your contract / inheritance fund. The instruction to this Board to authorized your payment was given by the President himself Googluck Jonathan, following intelligence report on contract payment he received which revealed that the lower offices and department including some departments of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are engaging in the practice of payment delays through unnecessary use of bureaucratic office processes and imposition of unauthorized fees.
This apart has been allegations that some officials of NNPC and CBN deliberately divert funds approved with the name of a beneficiary to accounts that were not given by the known contractor after the due processing and approval of such payment.To avoid and curtail such, official misconduct and deliberate delay of foreign contractor’s payment under one flimsy reason or the other, the President of the Country therefore mandated this office to raise beneficiary’s payment and ensure that such payments are received by the Beneficiary within a short period of five (5) days from the day of notice. Based on the information contained in your contract files and records submitted to us from NNPC, CBN, and FMF your name was in the list of Category “A” contractors whose payments have been verified and approved with the records indicating that your payment has long been over due.
The directive from the President based on all these findings is that this office should make immediately uninterrupted payment of your fund direct from the Federal Treasury. Other offices including CBN earlier handling your payment has been advised to hand over to this office to avoid duplication of efforts, though such offices hesitate to let you know of this new development.
In respect of this, this office held a meeting with the representatives of concerned government bodies during which your contract file and other information of your payment were submitted. After going through your file a lot of official irregularities, impending stop orders and complexities surrounding the payment were discovered. This office and the concerned bodies unanimously decided and approved that your contract payment will be raised in Certified International Bank Draft. The draft will be raised either in your name or in the name of your Company as the beneficiary. As soon as the draft is raised and signed off by you, you will be required to present the draft at your bank for confirmation and crediting of fund into your account. This will take 3-5 days of depositing of draft in your bank.
Finally, any beneficiary who wants his payment via swift telegraphic transfer should apply officially to this board, as soon as the application is approved the transfer will be made to the account as will be given by the beneficiary, Meanwhile, I have tried reaching you by telephone but unsuccessful, I will advise you to call me or send me a fax in regards to this, so that I will intimate you more regarding your payment.
Reconfirm your details to me so that I can verify that you are the genuine beneficiary of the sum.
Further details concerning your payment will be given to you once you contact the under signed on Tel: +234-8057600747. This panel hereby uses this medium to congratulate you and heart fully thank you for your patience and understanding during all this years of delays on your contract fund.

WEEKLY DRAWS RESULTS
Patricia Gates has emailed me from Midlands Tech College to tell me that she is called Sir Gordon Stewart. Why would she tell me that? Because she is a scammer, who is hoping I will be taken in by her story and reply. Then she will start asking me to send money.
I have forwarded the email to the college in case they can find who sent it. Probably hopeless, but you never know.
Just ignore this scammer, who clearly should pay more attention to their studies and spend less time on the internet.

I’m sure you aren’t expecting $8.5m – neither am I. If you reply to this scammer you will just find yourself being asked to send money.

Who are these idiotic scammers that seem to think I will believe that the world is ful of “trunk boxes” full of millions of dollars in cash. Haven’t they heard of banks and credit cards? They do have them in Africa! Which is where this scammer claims to be.
This nut case seems to think that telling me s/he has left a “trunk box” with fedex and then travelled out of the county for 3 months is a convincing story. What planet is s/he on??
On the other hand, at least he/she is up-front about his cash grabbing scam – s/he openly tells you to send him $110

S.O.S FROM IRAQ; IT`S IMPORANT I HEAR FROM YOU, REPLY ASAP
I’m quite sure the scammer that wrote this has never been anywhere near Iraq or the US Army. My guess from the language used is that this scammer is somewhere in Africa. The only stash of cash this scammer is interested in is yours. He is hoping you fall for his ridiculous story and then he will start ask you to send money.
Ignore this scammer.
Dear friend,
Compliments and how is life with you and the family? All should be
well I presume.
My name is First Sergeant(1SG) E. Wilson; an American soldier, serving
in the military with the army’s 3rd infantry division. With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact
you.
I have on location here for many years a burden in my heart relating
to some stashed up large amount of cash gotten in my line of duty and
how to move it out of here to a better place, that would be of immense
benefit to you and I in another circumstance if only I can get you to
share my thoughts and aspirations with; and receive the cash on my
behalf. I will give you the full details of everything when I hear
from you.
This is a new dawn for me and I would like to finally take care of
this once and for all; since this period is very idle for this
objective. I don`t mean to bother you; my patriotism is at its highest
in years and I could give my life anyday for the peace and safety of
humanity; but I need to be at peace with myself and bring joy to your
life and mine also, only if I can get a good response from you.
I can be reached only for now on my alternative email address – (
1sg.erwils3idusa@gmail.com ) and not my US Army service email which is
monitored. I had to copy this email to you, so it`s not possible to
monitor at all.

“Vonema Teke” has written to me from China to tell me she is in Darfur. Does this sound likely? No. This person isn’t a rich refugee with millions of dollars. He or she is a scammer – who wants to get their hands on your money by charging you fees.
Ignore her sob story and don’t reply.
Dear friend,
I know this will come as a surprise to you but i want to assure you with honest to god almighty that my email comes with good intentions, i am vonema teke from the darfur region
Of sudan in africa, i am 19yrs old and an only child and son to late chief graham teke who was oil merchant before he was killed by rebels in 2006
Because of the current crisis in the region, i believe that you are very conversant with the happenings in sudan because it is always on the world news. I was rescued by the united nations peace keeping force and was taken to refugee camp.
i am writing you a detailed briefing of my consignment at beijing international airport china.i had a foreign beneficiary named mr.yang lu choulu who resides in china and he was helping to ship my consignment containing nine million united states dollars that i inherited from my late father which
Is being delivered by a united nations diplomat to the delivery address of mr.yang lu choulu in china but when the diplomat called from beijing international airport to confirm the address of mr.yang lu who lives in beijing china, he explained a different thing entirely, he said he is no more willing
To receive the consignment because of the communist system of government in china and that the government is going to question him on how he got in contact with such consignment and that his barrister later explained this to him, he said he did not inform his barrister not until the consignment got to china.
Mr.yang lu choulu has done all the paper works that covers the consignment to get to china, everything was set to be completed. The un diplomat is complaining now that he wants to abandone the consignment at the beijing international airport in china to proceed with his diplomatic mission abroad but he does not know that the consignment contains funds because i was told by the security company which the funds was deposited by my late father not to let him know that the consignment contains funds.
please i want you to be my present foreign beneficiary so that he can make the delivery to you and leave china and proceed with his diplomatic mission abroad because more effort has been tried to contact my former foreign beneficiary again but it seems that the phone number is not reachable at the moment
I want you to receive the consignment for me and i will give the same percentage that i offered mr. Yang lu choulu which is 30% of the total funds and thereafter you will help me look for a profitable business to invest the funds, as soon as i hear from you with your delivery address or phone number i will
Contact the diplomat so that he can make further arrangements to deliver the consignment to you immediately.
I wait to hear from you and please note that the diplomat does not know that the content of the consignment is nine million united states dollars, i would want to keep it that way for security reasons and the consignment is labeled as family valuables. Thank you for you cooperation.
You will be provided with every document that you might need to prove the legality and source of the fund so please be free to contact me my life is atached to the success of the delivery of my fathers deposit, i hope you assist me in any way that you can.
With sincerity of heart i expect to hear from you
Respectfully,
Vonema Teke

Dear Friend
I’m sure you’ve heard all this before – dishonest banker who has access to millions of dollars and just needs your help to get his hands on the cash. This story involves dishonest politicians and money laundering.
The only money this scammer wants access to is yours. He wants to take your money by charging you fees. Ignore him.
Dear Friend,
FROM THE DESK
OF MR IBRAHIM MOUSTAPHA
My name is mr Ibrahim Moustapha. I am a banker with the coris bank international, Burkina Faso.I am still working with the Bank , but am about to retire from active Bank service to start a new life but I am sceptical to reveal this particular secret to a stranger .You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life.
It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to Launder money to overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores of Africa was gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transfer to foreign accounts so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the money hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer.
I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act, I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over $150m dollars, during the process .As I am sending this message to you, I was able to divert more than ($20m) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who is the beneficiary to the funds because they have made a lot of profits with the funds.It is more than ten years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas.
The $20M has been lying waste but I don’t want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver. The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you .
There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything.I only want you to assist me by providing available bank account where the funds can be transferred. You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know by replying me immediately to enable me give you detailed information on what to do.
For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance also to grab my own but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid leakages as no one in the bank knows about the funds.
Please supply me the following:
Your current contact address and Telephone Numbers. Whether you will be able to come down to my country to meet me before the commencement of the transfer.
I shall intimate you on what to do when I get your confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your consent to me.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Ibrahim

ABOUT YOUR FUND IN CBN
It’s not often that words fail me when commenting on a scam. This one sounds more like the plot for a “whodunnit” novel.
Just ignore this idiot scammer, who only wants to take your money by charging you fees for your non-existent “fund”.
Attn:
I know that you might be surprise on this mail, but I am telling you the truth. I know that it is against my official duty to release confidential issue like this to an outsider.There is nothing I can do to help you beside this; I am taking this bold step because of my belief as a Christian.
What I want to tell you is about your fund with the Federal Government of Nigeria, there are a lot forces working against you right from the last CBN Governor Prof Charlse Soludo and the current Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi with other Top officials of all the Commercial Banks here in Nigeria, they have been frustrating people by demanding upfront payment from them constantly, If I tell you that they are using all these money you sent to them to work against you, you might not believe it. But it is reality.
There is a way I can assist you get your fund without you paying any charges to get your fund, it is risky but one has to take it, I have assisted one woman from Mexico with it, it worked out though her fund was US$2.5m-. What you have to do is to open another bank account any where, if you can open it in another place, it will be nice, but what you have to bear in mind is that you have to re-transfer the fund to another account immediately you confirmed it in your account, I know why I want it this way.
If you want me to go ahead, let me know as soon as you get this mail, if I make the transfer into your account this week, it might be next three months that they will find out and by then, you have re-transferred the fund into another account.
Get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that I will be in better position to know what to do.Get back to me on this email: drmrsveronicaa@aol.com

Actually, I think the scammer got his name confused. Instead of “Mr Bank in More” I think he meant to say “Mr More in Bank” – the more that he wants in the bank being your money. He’s hoping to start taking your money by charging you fees. Ignore him.

From Miss Dennis Jon
“Miss” Dennis seems to be having a gender identity crisis. Maybe that’s one of the perils of being a scammer. You get confused – you can’t remember whether you are supposed to be writing your scam as a man or a woman.
It amuses me how many scammers seem to think that, in these days of banks and electronic transfers, so many of us would believe that there are all these “trunk boxes” in Africa that contain millions of unclaimed dollars in cash – all in the hands of security firms and all left there by fathers who have died.
Of course this is all a load of rubbish – “Miss Dennis” is a scammer. He/she doesn’t have a stash of cash – s/he’s hoping you will fall for the scam and will start asking you to send money. Ignore this scammer.
Hello,
It’s my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life.
My Late father kept secretly Two trunk boxes containing the sum of U.S Dollars ($16,300,000.00) in a Security firm in Cote d’Ivoire as family treasure before he was assassinated by unknown persons.
Now I have decided to invest this money in your country or anywhere safe from war and political problem for security reasons. Before contacting you, I went to the Security firm and requested for the release of my inheritance but the staffs of the security firm said that I am a minor(below age).they said that the agreement policy with my late father states that I the next kin is not up to 25 years and he happens to die that I should present a guardian who will represent me in the claims . To do this (For matter of transparency) the person has to come down, so please I want you to help me in this regards , as soon as you come we will travelled back together for my investment in your country to continue my education as well.
Please let me know how many percent of this total inheritance money you will take for your assistance and expenses that may incur in coming down here , I await your soonest response.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely
Miss Dennis Jon

A reader forwarded me this scam, and said “This guy sent several email messages and called my office.”
The scammer’s email tells the usual story of millions of dollars left in an account by a deceased victim with no friends or family and a dishonest banker who just needs your help to get his hands on the cash.
This scammer knew my reader’s name (which I have removed) and appears to have obtained the email address and phone number from a business listing or website. This is the first time that I have heard of a scammer following up a scam email with a phone call. If you get a phone call like this at work, put the phone down.

MALAYSIA.
Greetings, My Reader’s Name
I have a proposal for you – this however is not mandatory nor will I in any
manner compel you to honor against your will. I am 42, and work with a bank
(one of the leading banks in the SOUTH/EAST ASIA ). Here in this bank existed
a dormant account for the past 8 years which belong to a American national, late Mr.& Mrs Raymond Becks.Mrs Dorene Becks, died on Egypt Air Flight 990
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm.
When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that non
of the family member nor relations of the late person is aware of this
account.This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where
the bank will transfer this funds.
Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It
is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything
to ensure a hitch-free operation. The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$ 9.5 million US dollars).
Now our questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission?
If you can sponsor this transfer Consider this and get back at us as soon as
possible. Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained
herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it
deserves.
I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.
Respectfully yours,
Mr Lee CHin

Janusz Szostek has contacted me from Poland to tell me that he is called “Dannny Xiong”. Why would he lie to me? Because he’s a scammer, that’s why.
Janusz Szostek is a scammer who is hoping you will fall for his stupid story and start sending him money for fees. My suggestion is that Mr Szostek finds himself a proper job and earns an honest living – before he finds himself thrown in jail.

Charity Funds Transfer
You know the story of this scam. “Mrs Maria Bejes” is dying, rich, widowed and a “Christian”. I put that in brackets because anyone who claims to be a devout religious followers (any religion) and then tries to scam you is worthy of nothing but contempt.
“Mrs Bejes” also claims that her millions of dollars aren’t in a bank but in a box!!!! Pull the other leg.
Just ignore this scammer. If you make the mistake of replying you will that she starts asking you to send money for fees.
Dear Beloved,
How are you.I hope this email will meet you good heaith
My name is Mrs. Maria Bejes I am a dying woman who has decided to donate
what I have to charities through you. You may be wondering why I chose
you.But someone has to be chosen. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed
forcancer about 2 years ago, after the death of my husband who had left me
everything he worked for. I have been touched by the Lord to donate from
what I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the
good work of humanity, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s
hard earned funds inappropriately.
I have asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he
has,because He is merciful. I will be going in for an operation, and I pray
that I survive the operation. I have decided to Will/Donate the sum
of 10,300,000.00 (Ten Million three hundred thousand Dollars) to charities
through you for the good work of the Lord, and to help the
motherless,lessprivileged and also for the assistance of the widows.
Presently, I have informed my consultant about my decision in willing
this fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the good
Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend
the good work to others. If you are interested in carrying
out this task, I will inform my consultant, so that he can arrange the
release of the funds to you. I know I have never met you but my mind tells
me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely. I decided that 30% of
this money should be taken by you from the total sum upon the success
release of this fund, because I am now too weak and fragile to do things
myself because of my cancer.Presently, I,m in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancerI have since lost my ability to
talk.
NB:This money has been packed into one box and the consignments”box” were
tagged Diplomatic Luggage.You will be given the right to verify this
directly with the Finance Security Bank company were the TruckBox is
presently deposited. i want you to help me carry out the
charity work to the motherless,lessprivileged and also for the assistance
of the widows in the World.
I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished, as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my last
wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members
standing in the way of my last wish. If you ready to carry on this task
reply to: email address:bejesbejesn@aim.com
God bless you and your family.
Mrs.Maria Bejes

From:Mr.Collins Thwala.
A reader forwarded me this scam. The main part of the scam came as an attached jpeg – presumably so that spam filters can’t read the text – or to stop me posting it here. I’m sure you realise that “Mr Collins Thwala” is just a scammer. He doesn’t have millions of dollars to share with you. He is hoping you will share YOUR money with him. If you make the mistake of replying he will start asking you to send money as fees.
This message is very important and is the reason why l have sent it to you by attached. l believe you may have received similar email before but l ask that you consider my request as this is not one of those fraudulent emails that even l have occasionally received to my email inbox.
Please open the attachments to this email and forward your response to my private email address as follows: collinsthwala@gala.net
Kind regards.
Mr.Collins Thwala.
DONACIZ PARA EL TRABAJO DEL DIOS
My elementary grasp of Spanish allowed me to translate the title – this scammer is claiming to want to give you money for the work of the Lord. Yet another scammer here who should pay more attention to the teachings of the Bible they are quoting from. (I’m not religious, but I have no time for any scammer who quotes any religion as a basis for their evil deeds.)
This scammer then goes on to tell me the old, old story (thanks to Google Tranlate) of being a Born again Christian – with lots of money and just wanting to give it to me – or you – or anyone daft enough to fall for their story.
All this scammer really wants is to get their hands on your money – if you reply, the scammer will start asking you to send money for fees.
Calvario saludos a usted en nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Yo soy Sra. Theresa Wallas de Kuwait. Yo estaba casada con el Sr. Johnson Wallas, quien trabajó con la embajada Kuwait en Costa de Marfil durante nueve años antes de morir en el año 2003. Nos casamos por once años sin un niño. Mi marido murió después de una breve enfermedad que duró sólo cuatro días. Antes de su muerte que fueron los cristianos nacidos de nuevo.
Mis queridos, sé que usted es sorpresa al recibir esta carta, pero como hijo de Dios vivo, usted debe saber que nuestra forma no es su manera. Mi Biblia me dice que él trabaja de muchas maneras y todas las cosas a cabo obras de bien a los que creían en Cristo Jesús. De hecho, es también por el líder del Espíritu Santo de Dios que me escogieron en obidence y el amor a fulfile el deseo de mi difunto marido que me apoya a la gloria de Dios.I quiero que entiendan que esta es la benevolencia, en cumplimiento de la voluntad y decisión de mi difunto esposo, que estoy convencido de actualizar.
Desde la muerte de mi amado esposo, decidí no volver a casarse o tener un hijo fuera de mi hogar conyugal que la Biblia es en contra de . cuando mi difunto marido estaba vivo que depositó la suma de USD$3.5M (Tres millones quinientos mil dólares) en un banco aquí, en Abidjan, Costa de Marfil. Actualmente, este dinero todavía está en el banco. Recientemente, mi doctor me dijo que no se prolongará durante el período de nueve meses debido a mi problema de cáncer. El que más me molesta es mi enfermedad cerebrovascular. Después de haber conocido mi condición yo decidí donar este fondo a una organización sin fines de lucro, iglesia, organización cristiana, o de un verdadero creyente que utilizará este dinero la manera que voy a encargar aquí.
Quiero este fondo que se utilizará para orfanatos, escuelas, iglesias, viudas, y el privilegio de personas menos en la propagación de la palabra de Dios y para asegurarse de que la casa de Dios se mantiene. La Biblia nos hizo entender que “Bendito es la mano que da”. Tomé esta decisión porque no tengo cualquier niño que heredará este dinero y mi esposo y los familiares son infieles no quiero que mi marido para ser utilizados por los incrédulos.
No quiero una situación en la que este dinero será utilizado en una manera impía. Esta es la razón por la que estoy tomando esta decisión. No tengo miedo de la muerte, por lo tanto, sé donde voy. Sé que voy a estar en el bossom de Jehová. Éxodo 14 vs 14 dice que “el señor luchará mi caso y voy a mantener mi paz”. No necesito ninguna comunicación telefónica en este sentido debido a mi condición de salud y la presencia de mi difunto marido, los familiares de alrededor de mí siempre tratando de reclamar ese dinero que me dejó mi esposo para mí. No quiero que sepan acerca de este desarrollo . Con Dios todo es posible.
Yo quiero que manejar esto por su cuenta ya que mi salud no me alllow como se me ha puesto en diálisis chequeo médico periódicamente. Incluso estoy escribiendo esta carta con la ayuda de una hermana que uso para que me ayude. Yo quiero que me envíen su nombre completo y dirección para que pueda jurar a una declaración jurada bajo juramento que se aprobó oficialmente y legalmente como los familiares a este fondo de modo que incluso si estoy muerto su reclamación a este fondo en el banco no estará en duda. Voy a enviarle la declaración jurada de juramento y certificado de depósito de este fondo inmediatamente después de la declaración jurada está listo.
Tan pronto como recibamos su respuesta le voy a dar el contacto del banco en Abidján, Costa de marfil donde el dinero fue depositado por mi querido esposo. Yo también le expedirá la declaración jurada de juramento que legal y oficialmente aprove que los familiares y el nuevo beneficiario al fondo junto con el certificado de depósito de este fondo que mi difunto marido, utilizado para pagar el dinero en el banco. Quiero que siempre rezan por mí, porque Jehová es mi pastor.
Mi felicidad es que viví una vida digna de un cristiano. Quien Quiere que para servir al Señor le debe servir en espíritu y verdad.
Por favor, siempre todo a través de la oración su vida.
Toda demora en su respuesta me dará habitación en sourcing otra persona para este mismo propósito.
Esperando recibir su respuesta urgente.
Siendo bendecido en el Señor.
Atentamente en Cristo
Sra. Theresa Wallas.
i will be greatful if you reply
This scammer seems to be somewhat mixed up internationally China, Latvia, Nigeria! And what on earth does “Dear Respectful” mean? I guess the answer to that is easy – nothing.
One thing is clear about this scammer – they’re from Nigeria. The rest is a complete load of ******.
Don’t reply to this scammer. The reason why he/she “will be greatful if you reply” is because they will start asking you for money.
Dear Respectful,

From Ms Allen Kaiser, Wants You to See This Page on APU.edu
“Ms Allen Kaiser” seems to have a lot to learn. Firstly, she seems to have sent this scam from a Christian University – I think she might need to pay a little more attention to some basic religious principles – which I’m sure would frown on lying, scamming and stealing.
What more can I say. Ignore this scammer – whose only aim is to get his/her hands on your money by charging you fees.

Delivery Problem NR2530997. UPS INVOICE NR1536853.
According to the scammers, I have had a run of bad luck with UPS, with two parcels being undelivered. One was sent by “Margot Haines” and the other by “Burl Matcham”. Both included a graphic with their scam text – presumably to my spam filter wouldn’t read it and then both included this highly informative line of text:
“Cars burned during racist attacks Soldiers in Afghan race against time Summary Box: Fannie, Freddie to delist from NYSE Mother of abandoned baby was victimized as a teen”
Obviously you’d expect that to be included in a serious message from UPS – not! (Sarcasm there, folks)
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. It contains a trojan or worm that will infect your computer.
Here is that graphic:
Compliments of the Day
What a load of absolute rubbish. “Dr Paul Conan” doesn’t work for any bank and he doesn’t have access to millions of dollars. What he wants is access to your money. He is hoping you will fall for his scam, and then he will start asking you to send money to pay for fees. Ignore him.
BIAO BANK COTE D’IVOTRE From Dr. Paul Conan
Dear friend, Compliments of the day my friend hope all is well with you. Before I proceed, I will like to introduce my self to you. My name is Dr. Paul Konan, a staff of the above stated Bank.I have an urgent and confidential business proposition for you.
On September 2nd 1998, an oil contractor with the ABIDJAN COTE D’IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation Mr.Andreas Schranner, made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at (US$12.5 Million) with our bank, We sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contact employers COTE D’IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Andreas Schranner, died in plane crash along with his entire family. See the following web site for the resolt of the plan clash invents and victims: http://news.bbc.co .uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm On my further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Andreas Schranner, did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$12.5 Million is still in the Bank and the interest is Being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one have Come forward to claim it. According to the Law of this country, at the expiration of 11 years the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE D’IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Andreas Schranner so that the fruits of this old man labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. As an Accountant and a staff of this BANK, What we have to do is simple if you follow my directions. You will send to me your complete names, address and information’s which I will secretly program in the computer accounting files of late Mr.Andreas Schranner in our bank as his registered associate before his death and who is entitled to inherit the deposit in case of his death. When this money is paid into your account, you take 50% share of the total sum and 50% will be for me. I will give you more details upon receipt of your response. Looking forward to hear from you urgently. Reply through this my email address. dr_conan_paul@yahoo.com my tel number: +22504422453 Waiting to hear from you Dr. Paul Conan
Greetings from miss Victoria,
The title of this email sounds like a Victorian novel. Probably appropriate as the writer is clearly good at writing works of fiction.
This is a scam. “Miss Victoria” isn’t the daughter of a rich cocoa farmer and she doesn’t have millions of dollars. What she does want to have is your money. She is hoping you will fall for her story and start sending her money. Ignore her.
Greetings from miss Victoria,
My Dearest One,
My name is miss Victoria Jones, I am female,19 years of age and I am from Ivory Coast.I know that this mail may look very worrying and disturbing to you as I do not know you in person but I will plead that you go through it closely and help me because I am really in need of your help at this point in time.
My late father,Vicent Jones was a very rich cocoa farmer who was into exportation of cocoa products.he was poisoned by unknown person last year and this is why I am contacting you now. My father deposited an amount of money $15(Fifteen million) u.s dollars in a bank here in Ivory Coast(West Africa).Please this is why I am contacting you now to stand as the foreign partner and the next of kin which is the beneficiary to the money.I have avoided disclosing this to any of our relatives because I do not know who killed my father and the person may also start seeking for my death after knowing that I can succed in future.
Please help me to transfer this money into your account from here.I will like to come over to your country immediately this transfer is executed into your account.I know that anything you wish as your compensation in helping me will be good for us because this help must come from a foreigner who does not know my background. when I gets your response to this mail I will give you the necessary information reguired to carry on the transfer.
I will appreciate your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Victoria Jones.

This scam loan offer was left as a comment by – the scammer himself!
How do I know the scammer left it? Because the email address and name he left were the same as in this scam loan offer. I think I’d call that an own goal.
I decided it was too good to leave as a comment, so I’ve “elevated” it and given it a post of its own. Yes, Mr Fayed is a scammer. He has no intention of loaning you anything. He has no accreditations, no references, no website, no nothing. He certainly doesn’t have millions of dollars to lend.
The only money he is interested in is yours. He wants to steal your money by charging you fees. Ignore him.

Funds for God Work

She doesn’t have any of the dreadful afflictions she claims

investment
The only investment “Arif” is interested in is his own. He wants to invest YOUR money in his bank account. He’s a scammer. He doesn’t have access to millions of dollars, he’s just hoping you will fall for his scam and start sending him money. Ignore him.
Attn,
I have business proposal of which i believe that i need someone to help me in some advise about proper and safe investment in your country.
I’m a personal account manager to late Mohamed Al Nasser. And this deceased client of mine died as a result of a heart-related condition in February 2003.I have contacted you to assist in the distribution of the funds left behind by my late client. Before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the custodian bank, and this deposit valued 🙁 Seventeen million five hundred thousand United States Dollars.)
Our bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin of my client, or have the account confiscated. My proposition to you is to seek your consent in presenting you as the next of kin (beneficiary) to my late Client’s Estates, Then we can both share the funding on a mutually agreement and Percentage.
All legal documentations to back up your claims as my late client’s next of kin will be provided. All I require is your absolute honesty, co-operation and total adherence to my instructions, to enable us transfer this funds into your account smoothly. This transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement, which will protect you from any Infraction of the law.
If this proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere Apology. In the contrary, if it pleases you, then contact me with urgency indicating your interest.I shall await your response.
I’m waiting for your urgent response thanks and God bless.
regards,
Arif.
I await your response
I’m sure you know the reason why “Mr John Miles” has “withheld” the surname of the deceased. Simple. Because there is (or should that be was) no deceased who shared your “surname identity” because this scammer has no idea who you are or what your surname is.
If you reply, this scammer will soon start asking you for money. The only “beneficiary” will be the scammer’s bank acount, which he is hoping to fill with your money.
Good Day, Be informed that my previous mail was not responded and I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you. I wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of 6,000,000.00 GBP (Six Million British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). I contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance. I therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed upon your acceptance. Upon your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance, your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary LEGAL documents in your name at our high court probate division for the release of the fund in question. Contact me immediately so that we can get this done. Kind regards, Mr.John Miles
Re:
The only reason why “Tiffany” says “la vulgarité ne m’intéresse pas” is because she is after a victim. She will befriend you and then, when she thinks you have started to trust her, she will start asking you for money. She (or he) is a romance scammer. Someone who will suck you in and take as much money as they can from you. Read the romance scams page of this site to see how these scams work. These scammers are patient and evil. Ignore this one.
If you are interested in online dating, join a reputable online dating site such as Dating Direct and KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU. There are lots of scammers about, even on legitimate dating sites. NEVER send money to anyone you meet on a dating site – however legitimate they might sound. Demands for money are an alarm bell warning you of a scammer.
Bonjour,
J’ai trouvé votre adresse après une réparation de mon pc. je ne suis pas sûr que c’était encore une réaction d’ une petite annonce de moi:
Bonjour, je suis une femme mariée de 36 ans, je recherche un homme marié également ou vivant maritalement pour faire connaissance, et plus si affinitées.
Je désire un vrai jardin secret et non une aventure d’un soir.
Curieux s’abstenir.! La vulgarité ne m’intéresse pas
Laisser moi un message, si oui , sinon laisser tomber.

Hello my new friend
“Svetlana” doesn’t want to be your “new friend” – and that photo is probably from a stock photo site. This a “romance scammer” – a cunning scammer who wants to befriend you, pretend to make you feel loved and then start asking you for money. She (or he) will start asking you for money to pay for fares, sick relatives, or anything else s/he can think of.
Do not reply.

Hello my new friend!
I am very glad to write my first message to you!
My name is Svetlana, I’m 29 years old. I the young and nice woman. I
love an active image of life. I like sports and rest on a nature. I

have a dream to meet the right person for me and to get married. I
know what I want from a man and what I can give him. I do not like

lot of other things that make our lives happy. I hate egotistical,
unintelligent persons, I would like to meet a man with a good
education, kind, honest, who will not play games and who’s really
looking for a serious relationship. I wish to love and to be loved, to
be with my darling in good and bad times, to enjoy every minute spent
with my only one. I believe that it’ll happen! I send you my photo. I
hope you enjoy my photography. I will wait your photo! If you write to
me, i send to you more photos! In the next letter we are about each other more!
Write to me at my e-mail : finegirll@BonBon.net

Crying for help
I’m sure that if “Miss Suzanne Robert” reads this she will be crying – probably not for help, though.
This scammer tells me the usual story of loads of money left by her father and she just needs my help to get her hands on the cash. What a liar. The only cash she wants to get her hands on is mine (or yours). She’s a scammer, who wants to take your money by charging you fees. Ignore her.
Crying for help
My name is Miss Suzanne Robert,I ‘m quite aware that my message will come to you as a surprise because it is indeed very strange for someone you have not met before to contact you in this regard, looking for a trustworthy, sincere and honest someone like you who can help me in this time of needs.
Before the death of my father on 20th June 2009 in a private hospital here in Abidjan , he secretly called me at his bedside, when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why? (1) He complained that I am too young to be managing my life with no one to take care of me,(2)That I have not finished my university education as he planned for me, he revealed to me that he has a sum of US$6,500.000.(Six MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) he left in bank here , He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his wicked brothers and associates , that l should seek for a GOD fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose ,that I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner/guardian abroad, that he or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country, that he used my name as the only child
for his next of kin in deposit of the funds,. Right now I am still here in my country but very unsafe for me. I’m living in great fear and bondage. I intend leaving this country as soon as possible, But unfortunately he did not complete the transaction before he died. I have the depositing certificates with which he made the deposit in the bank; I know it looks stupid for me trying to confide in a total stranger I never met before. By instinct I am convinced you are an honest person and you have the capacity to handle this transaction with me. As soon as it is done, I will come over with to meet you and spend the rest of my live in your country. I wish to invest the money into estate business and other good business you may propose. I promise to greatly compensate you with 15% for any assistance you may offer me. I do not know how you may feel about this but I want you to take this very serious and confidential. Down here, I am living in fear because
enemies, uncles and wicked relatives of my parents are hunting for us. Please let me know your mind concerning my proposal to you, May God bless you as you as you extend your helping hand to an orphan
Regards.pls my mail.

PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP
The only thing about this scam that is true is its subject – “I need your help”. This scammer certainly needs help – the sort that being arrested by the Police and throw in jail would provide. Help to start leading an honest life. A concept that is currently beyond this scammer, who thinks that making up rubbish stories and stealing your money is a good way to live.
Ignore this lowlife – who is just after your money.
DEAR FRIEND,
I KNOW THIS WILL COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU BUT I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT MY EMAIL COMES WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, I AM TOBI RAHILA FROM THE DARFUR REGION
OF SUDAN IN AFRICA, I AM 19YRS OLD AND AN ONLY CHILD AND SON TO LATE CHIEF GRAHAM RAHILA WHO WAS AN OIL MERCHANT BEFORE HE WAS KILLED BY REBELS IN 2006
BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT CRISIS IN THE REGION,I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE VERY CONVERSANT WITH THE HAPPENINGS IN SUDAN BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS ON THE WORLD
NEWS. I WAS RESCUED BY THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE KEEPING FORCE AND WAS TAKEN TO REFUGEE CAMP.
I AM WRITING YOU A DETAILED BRIEFING OF MY CONSIGNMENT AT GUANGZHOU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CHINA.I HAD A FOREIGN BENEFICIARY NAMED MR.YANG
LEE WHO RESIDES IN CHINA AND HE WAS HELPING TO SHIP MY CONSIGNMENT CONTAINING NINE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS THAT I INHERITED FROM MY LATE FATHER WHICH IS BEING DELIVERED BY A UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMAT TO THE DELIVERY ADDRESS OF MR.YANG LEE IN CHINA BUT WHEN THE DIPLOMAT CALLED FROM GUANGZHOU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO CONFIRM THE
ADDRESS OF MR.YANG LEE WHO LIVES IN GUANGZHOU CHINA, HE EXPLAINED A DIFFERENT THING ENTIRELY,HE SAID HE IS NO MORE WILLING TO RECEIVE THE CONSIGNMENT BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNIST SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN CHINA AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO QUESTION HIM ON HOW HE GOT IN CONTACT WITH SUCH CONSIGNMENT AND THAT HIS BARRISTER LATER EXPLAINED THIS TO HIM,HE SAID HE DID NOT INFORM HIS BARRISTER NOT UNTIL THE CONSIGNMENT GOT TO CHINA.
MR.YANG LEE HAS DONE ALL THE PAPER WORKS THAT COVERS THE CONSIGNMENT TO GET TO CHINA, EVERYTHING WAS SET TO BE COMPLETED. THE UN DIPLOMAT IS COMPLAINING NOW THAT HE WANTS TO ABANDONE THE CONSIGNMENT AT THE BAIYUN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN CHINA TO PROCEED WITH HIS DIPLOMATIC MISSION ABROAD BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CONSIGNMENT CONTAINS FUNDS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY THE SECURITY COMPANY WHICH THE FUNDS WAS DEPOSITED BY MY LATE FATHER NOT TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THE CONSIGNMENT CONTAINS FUNDS.
PLEASE I WANT YOU TO BE MY PRESENT FOREIGN BENEFICIARY SO THAT HE CAN MAKE THE DELIVERY TO YOU AND LEAVE CHINA AND PROCEED WITH HIS DIPLOMATIC MISSION ABROAD BECAUSE MORE EFFORT HAS BEEN TRIED TO CONTACT MY FORMER FOREIGN BENEFICIARY AGAIN BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE PHONE NUMBER IS NO LONGER IN USE.
I WANT YOU TO RECEIVE THE CONSIGNMENT FOR ME AND I WILL GIVE THE SAME PERCENTAGE THAT I OFFERED MR.YANG LEE WHICH IS 30% OF THE TOTAL FUNDS
AND THEREAFTER YOU WILL HELP ME LOOK FOR A PROFITABLE BUSINESS TO INVEST THE FUNDS, AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU WITH YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS I WILL
CONTACT THE DIPLOMAT SO THAT HE CAN MAKE FURTHER ARRANGEMENTS TO DELIVER THE CONSIGNMENT TO YOU IMMEDIATELY.
I WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DIPLOMAT DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CONTENT OF THE CONSIGNMENT IS NINE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS,I WOULD WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY FOR SECURITY REASONS, THE CONSIGNMENT IS LABELED AS FAMILY VALUABLES. THANK YOU FOR YOU COOPERATION.

HONEST SOMEONE
I love the title of this scam – “honest someone”. Clearly not a title that applies to the writer of this ridiculous scam – who then goes on to tell me the usual story of wicked goings on and millions of dollars. It’s all a load of rubbish. The only dollars this scammer wants are yours – if you make the mistake of replying you will find this scammer starts asking you for money.
HONEST SOMEONE
During the civil and political crisis in our country, my parents together with my three sisters were poisoned by heartless elements. Fortunately for me, I was in school when this tragedy took place to our family. I was in coma for almost two weeks. But I thank the almighty God because I never knew that I could support the shock of losing almost my whole family. That is by the way. Right now I am still here in Cote d’Ivoire with but very unsafe for me. I’m living in great fear and bondage. I intend leaving this country as soon as possible but only one thing kept me back. My late father has deposited with one of the prime bank the sum of money, $5.2Million USD, for onward transfer to any bank abroad .But unfortunately he did not complete the transaction before he died. I have met with the bank director who has certified my claims to the money. I have all the documents concerns this money in the bank; I have mapped out 20% out of the total money for
your help and assistance because it looks stupid for me trying to confide in a total stranger I never met before. By instinct I am convinced you are an honest person and you have the capacity to handle this transaction with me. As soon as it is done, I will come over to meet you and spend the rest of my live in your country. I wish to invest the money into estate business etc. I promise to greatly compensate you for any assistance you may offer us. I do not know how you may feel about this but I want you to take this very serious and confidential. Down here, I am living in fear because enemies of my parents are hunting for me. Please let me know your mind concerning my proposal to you.

Från Mr.Owen Kurt.
For some strange reason, “Owen Kurt” has written to me in Swedish to tell me he works for a bank in London. How likely does that sound?? Not very. Then he goes on to tell me the usual scam story about a deceased client and millions of pounds. Of course, if this scammer really was an employee of the bank, the very fact that he has sent out thousands of random emails about this money would immediately get him fired from the bank and probably prosecuted for stealing bank funds.
I hope by now you get the point – this is a scammer. If you reply you will find yourself being asked to send money. Ignore this email.

FBI FINAL NOTICE!.
A reader forwarded me this scam. Why on earth would the FBI be interested in your inheritance (if it was real)? If the CBN knew “fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment” then how did they manage to send it by “wire transfer” – last time I looked you had to actually”have enough facilities” in order to send a wire transfer.
This is just the usual load of made up rubbish by a scammer who wants to get his/her hands on your money by charging you fees.
Actually, the person who sent me this asked if it was real. I a) directed them to the paragraph at the top of every page of this site and b) asked them if they actually had a very rich African relative.

THIS IS FOR CHARITY SUPPORT
“Mrs Steward” isn’t 69, she isn’t a British citizen, she isn’t in a care home, she isn’t dying and she certainly doesn’t want you to set up a “Steward foundation”.
She’s a scammer. What she really wants is to get her hands on your money. If you make the mistake of replying you will find that she will start asking you to send money. Ignore her.
FOR CHARTIY
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. Mrs Helen Steward a 69 years Old British citizen presently in a care home in Netherlands I have been diagnosed with Cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, 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 focused 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 God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also 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 Haiti, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; 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 no one knows of is the huge cash deposit in a finance/Security Company in Holland.
I Want you to help me collect this money an set of A FOUNDATION All you need to do is to claim the money from the security company and set up STEWARD FOUNDATION and dispatched the money to charity organizations round the world,
I have set aside some part of the money for you and for your time. If you are interested contact me via this email mrsshelensteward@aol.co.uk All the details and documentation you will need to claim the funds and set the foundation will be given to you when you contact me.
Thank You and God be with you.
Mrs Helen Steward.
Hello can we be friends!!
“Pamila” isn’t looking for a man who is “loving, caring …..” she is looking for a man who is daft enough to fall for her story and start sending her money. She (or he) is a romance scammer. If you make the mistake of replying – she will send you a photo of a gorgeous, sexy girl. It won’t be a photo of herself – and then when she (or he) thinks you are starting to be taken in by the scam you will start receiving requests for money – for fares to visit you, or visit sick relatives, or …….
Ignore this scammer – and anyone else that writes claiming they are looking for love. No-one who is genuinely looking for love will send out thousands of random emails to people they know nothing about.
If you are interested in online dating, join a reputable online dating site such as Dating Direct and KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU. There are lots of scammers about, even on legitimate dating sites. NEVER send money to anyone you meet on a dating site – however legitimate they might sound. Demands for money are an alarm bell warning you of a scammer.
Hello
My name is ms Pamila am a young girl, single never married, My pleasure getting
your contact here over my quest in search for a relationship. I will like to be
your friend. I believe that age, distance, race and colour do not matter, rather

parties. i want to meet a man who is loving, caring, understanding,honest,
sincere, and accept me who and what i am, the man who is there to love me for
the rest of his life the man always there for me every moment. a good man who

someone who can make me laugh, someone i can share a lifetime with hope that
someone is you, So in a specially manner i will like to further communication

me through my email address ( pamilamark@hotmail.com ) i will like you to tell
me more about your self so that in reply i will tell you more about my self as
well as sending you my picture
Second Notice,
Like many scammers, “Anthony Martin” seems to be having an identity crisis. His email came from “Anthony Smith & Co” and he tells me to reply to “clivefullerton33”. After that he tells me the usual rubbish story about having millions of pounds that were left to someone with the same surname as me – or you – or any of the other thousands of people who received this email. Of course, he has no idea what my surname is otherwise he would at least have had the decency to address me by name instead of just “Greetings”. Not a very professional start to an email, is it?
Just ignore this scammer. If you reply, you will find yourself being asked to send him money.
Greetings,
I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up with you because of the confidentiality which my proposal demands.
However, I have already sent you this same letter one month ago,but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you, hence i am constrain to reach you through the Internet which has been abused over the years.
I wish to notify you again that You were listed as a Heir to the total sum of (Three Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased.(Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the Heir to the inheritance funds.
Please indicate your interest immediately for us to proceed. I shall feed you with full details of this transaction upon receipt of your reply towards this proposal.
All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.
I look forward to hearing from you.

If you compare this with the previous post, where I was supposed to have won some lottery in Macau, you will see that the wording is the same – the scammer has just changed a few things – the title of his/her scam lottery and different numbers. Apart from that this is the same, “cut and paste” scam email.
There was no lotto – this is a scammer who wants to take your money by charging you fees. Ignore him or her.
