IMMEDIATE CONTRACT

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:07:06 +0000

Do you think the finance director of a major bank would use a mobile phone number and a yahoo email address No, neither do I.

This one is kind of spooky – apparently my late father (he died nearly 20 years ago) was one of the people who claimed to be my “true representative”. Maybe he could claim the $9.5m and have a party in spirit land??

Just ignore this scammer who is only hoping to take your money from you.

Attn:Beneficiary,

IMMEDIATE CONTRACT/INHERITANCE PAYMENT

We wish to bring to your notice about the due process of your outstanding
Contract/Inheritance payment which was suspended by the management of this
Bank by stopping the telex unit to pause the transfer of your
contract/inheritance funds to your nominated bank account.

During the auditing of all financial records in our Bank (HSBC), it was
discovered from the records of outstanding payment with our Bank that, your
name is next on the list of those who will receive their funds.

As a result of this development, verification conducted by credit department
in conjunction with the Debt Verification Panel on your contract/inheritance
fund, your file has been endorsed for immediate payment awaiting your
confirmations.

Meanwhile, three men came to my office few days ago with a letter, claiming to
be your true representative. They were two CANADIANS and a BRITISH BARRISTER
and they introduced themselves as Mr.Robert Cole and Mr. John Mauran and the
Barrister’s name Mark Smith.

Below is the information they presented to my office:

BENEFICARY: JOHN MAURAN

As the Finance Director of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release your
Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first.

Due to the Nature of my job, I would not want to make any mistake in releasing
your Funds to anyone except you whom is the Recognized Bona fide Beneficiary
to these Funds.

Please we would like you to confirm to this office immediately if these men
are truly from you or not, so that our bank will not be held responsible for
paying into wrong account.

You are also requested to fill and forward the information below for
verification purposes so that your fund valued U.S$9.5million dollars will be
remitted into your nominated bank account.

ALL IS NOT OVER YET

Thu, 10 May 2012 07:48:52 +0000

I think this scammer should win some kind of prize for their hilarious subject line. He also deserves some kind of medal for his total inability to read. Do take a look at the UN document in the link he’s kindly provided. It clearly states two things:

1)It is not possible anymore, no matter what the circumstances, to accept new claims

2)The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the UN Security Council. Its mandate is to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage suffered as a direct result of Iraq’s unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

The UNCC has, and never had, anything to do with paying “contract/inheritance” funds.

Ignore this idiot.

ALL IS NOT OVER YET

This is to officially inform you that we have verified your contract / inheritance file and found out that why you have not Received your payment is because you have not fulfilled the obligations given to you in respect of your contract/Inheritance payment.

Secondly we have been informed that you are still dealing with those none officials in the bank in other to secure the release of your fund. We wish to advise you that such an illegal act has to stop if you wish to receive your Payment since we have decided to bring a solution to your problem.

On behalf of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Debt Reconciliation Unit newly set up by the United Nations in conjunction With the British Government. Based on series of petitions we received by the United Nations from various organizations such as Cooperate Bodies and Non Governmental Organization (NGO) on the Inability of some Government of different Countries, Commercial banks and World Lottery Organization to settle their clients Contract debt, Inheritance Fund and Winning Prizes. See and read this link blow for your kind understanding: http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2003/ik344.doc.htm

The World Bank have mandate us we the Bank Directors and President to compensate all the victim with a sum of $5million (Five Million United State Dollars).

FAILED CONTRACT/ INHERITANCE FUND SUM TRANSFER.

Thu, 10 May 2012 07:43:55 +0000

Yet another scammer who wants to “let you know the truth”. ”Truth” being a word that his scammer clearly wouldn’t know the meaning of. And yet another scammer who thinks that telling me someone in Nigeria wants to send me money will make me believe them. It won’t!!!

Ignore this idiot. You know perfectly well that you aren’t expecting “funds” from Nigeria.

Attention:

My name is Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi Lamorde the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) New Executive Officer in Nigeria. I was until my appointment the Director of Operations of the EFCC under the leadership of the erstwhile Chairperson Mrs Farida Waziri. I understand you were expecting a certain amount of funds to be wired to your bank account for so long but your expectation was not met.

I am contacting you to let you know the truth, which is that the activities of some internet fraudsters has been stifling all of your effort and ours. Which has caused you to pay vast sums of money into wrong hands who frequently impersonate the identity of real Government and Bank Officials to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

They were really a problem to the tenure of Mrs Farida Waziri but i promise they will not be the same problem to my tenure in as much as you will be willing to trust in me. I will be ready to help in delivering your fund sum to you with your honest and sincere co-operation with my Office. If you believe i could be of immense assistance to you, do inform me accordingly.

Sincerely,
Mr Ibrahim Lamorde,
Chairman,
EFCC.

This scammer has written a long, convoluted story which I can’t be bothered to read. The gist of it is – “send me $200″. No. I won’t. Go away.

This scammer has a gift for story telling. A skill which I’m sure could be better used elsewhere to earn an honest living, rather than trying to steal money from you.

Ignore this scammer. You know as well as I do that you aren’t expecting $850k from a bank in Nigeria!

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Counter-terrorism Division and Cyber Crime Division
J. Edgar. Hoover Building Washington DC

Dear Beneficiary,

Series of meetings have been held over the past 7 months with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization. This ended 3 days ago. It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of $850,000.00 due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for their selfish reason and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your fund.

The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current president of Nigeria his Excellency President Good luck Jonathan to boost the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes. Now how would you like to receive your payment? Because we have two method of payment which is by Check or by ATM card?

ATM Card: We will be issuing you a custom pin based ATM card which you will use to withdraw up to $3,000 per day from any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it and the card have to be renewed in 4 years time which is 2015. Also with the ATM card you will be able to transfer your funds to your local bank account. The ATM card comes with a handbook or manual to enlighten you about how to use it. Even if you do not have a bank account.

Check: To be deposited in your bank for it to be cleared within three working days. Your payment would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be mailed to you via FedEx. Because we have signed a contract with FedEx Express which should expire by the end of this month, you will only need to pay $200 instead of $500 saving you $300 So if you pay before the end of this month you save $300 Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely a fraudsters and you will have to stop communication with every other person if you have been in contact with any. Also remember that all you will ever have to spend is $200.00 nothing more! Nothing less! And we guarantee the receipt of your fund to be successfully delivered to you within the next 48hours after the receipt of payment has been confirmed.

Note: Everything has been taken care of by the Federal Government of Nigeria, The United Nation and also the FBI and including taxes, custom paper and clearance duty so all you will ever need to pay is $200.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU READ THIS: The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $500 but because FedEx have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping We had to sign contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual fee of $500 to $200 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

To effect the release of your fund valued at $850,000.00 you are advised to contact our correspondent in Africa the delivery officer David Sunday with the information below,

Name: David Sunday
Email: davidsunday@yahoo.cn

I’m sure (heavy sarcasm) that a respected “solicitor at law” whose client entrusted him with $12.5m would email random people using a hotmail email address. Adding that $12m to the rest of the money I’ve been told I am owed this week would mean I could retire in comfort. Sadly I can’t and will continue writing this blog from my sofa in the cold and rain of the English countryside rather than from a nice sunny beach on an exotic island.

You know as well as I do that “Aart Barend” has no intention of sending you any money and every intention of getting his thieving hands on your cash if you are daft enough to send it to him.

Dear Friend

My name is Aart Barend a solicitor at law. I was the personal Attorney to
a client who made a fixed deposit of fund valued
at USD$12,500,000.0(Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) with a Finance Company here in Europe and
unfortunately, He lost his life in the Libyan Civil War.

He left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents
related to the deposit still in my possession.
Recently, the financial company contacted me asking for the next of kin to
the funds or funds may be declared to the
government as unclaimed.

Upon a clear and legitimate agreement with you, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin,
so that my late client’s funds will not be confiscated by the Financial
Regulatory Authority.

You will be entitled to 40% of the total fund, 50% for me while 10% is to
be marked out for any expenses that will be incurred
during the clearance process of transfer of the fund to your bank account.
Be informed that there is no risk involved as all
necessary legal documents that will be used to back you up as the legal
beneficiary and next of kin of my late client will be procured.

Kindly, get in touch with me by my e-mail (aartbarend_ab@yahoo.cn) or
telephone (+31 6 49 507 921)to enable us discuss further.

You should also send your telephone number so I can call you when necessary.

Do not forget that a transaction of this magnitude requires utmost
confidentiality and sincerity.

I look forward to your urgent response.

Thank you.

Aart Barend

Notification ! Tax Refund

Mon, 07 May 2012 11:46:08 +0000

Another scammer who, for some strange reason, seems to think that adding exclamation marks to the subject line of their email will make it believable. It doesn’t, of course. In fact it’s the first hint that an email is probably a scam.

The UK Inland Revenue don’t email you if you are due for a tax return – they write to you. Nor do they address you as “Dear Applicant”. If they believe they owe you money, they will know your name and home address.

I have no idea what is in the .zip file that was attached to this email as I didn’t open it. It will be one of two things:

a) a Trojan or other malware that will infect your computer

b) a form asking you for all your bank/credit card information to the scammer can empty your bank account.

Delete this email.

Dear Applicant:

Following an upgrade of our computer systems and review of our records we have investigated your payments and latest tax returns over the last seven years our calculations show that you have made over payments of GBP 1578.25

Due to the high volume of refunds due you must complete the online application, the telephone help line is unable to assist with this application. In oder to process your refund you will need to complete the application form attached to this email.Your refund may take up to 6 weeks to process please make sure you complete the form correctly.
NOTE: If youve received an Income Tax repayment it will either be following a claim youve made or because HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has received new information about your taxable income or entitlement to allowances. The refund may come through your tax code or as a payment and could relate to the current tax year or earlier years..

An Income Tax repayment is a refund of tax that youve overpaid. So, if youve paid too much tax for example through your job or pension this year or in previous years HMRC will send you a repayment. Youll get the repayment by bank transfer directly to your credit or debit card.

Hello

“Wong Hui” is so desperate to give me $25m that he has written to me at 3 different email addresses. Clearly if this scammer really was the “bank director” of a bank “Hong kong” then he would be out of a job by now and probably in prison as he has been sending this email to thousands of people telling them how he intends to steal money from his bank and send it to random person anywhere in the world.

Equally clearly, this whole thing is a load of made up *****. This scammer’s only interest in money is his (or her) interest in your money, which he intends to steal from you by charging you fees. The more money you are prepared to send him, the more he will take.

Interesting that he claims to be “Hong kong” but his “disclaimer notice” claims to comply “with the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Last time I looked at an Atlas Saudi Arabia wasn’t exactly close to Hong Kong!!!

Ignore this scammer.

Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you

are not interested and get back to me if you are interested for details as regards
to the transfer of $24,500,000 to you.
This money initially belongs to a Libyan client who died in the libya crisis and had no next of kin in his
account-opening package in my bank here in Hong kong where I am a bank director.
In other to achieve this, I shall require your full name, and telephone number to reach you.
Most importantly, a confirmation of acceptance from you will be needed after which I
shall furnish you with the full details of this transaction.
Yours Truly,
Wong Hui.

I’ve long since said that loan scammers are the thickest and most stupid of scammers. This person (or team of people) is no exception. He has left his scam loan offer 3 times as a comment on a post about (oooooh, let me stop and think about this. Oh yes, I know…) a scam loan offer on a blog about (now this one will take time to think about. Oh yes, I’ve got it…….) SCAMS!!

Ignore this idiot who is only after your money and has no intention of loaning you anything.
