Annabella Estes
Fraud with added God. One out of five. Dearest In Christ,
Please use this money for the churches and less privileged.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. In my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and pain staking efforts I have decided to seek your help in carrying out my last wishes. My name is Mrs. Annabella Estes. I'm over 60 year?s old woman and from London . I was a merchant and owned two businesses in London . I was also married with two children.
My husband and two children died in a car accident six years ago. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in London , South Africa , Cameroon , Brazil , Spain , Austria , Germany and some Asian countries. Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people in Canberra , Australia through fire.
I was moving with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution on assisting people over there, I kept $US15,000,000.00 Fifteen Million Dollars in a long-term deposit account in a Finance company. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for esophagi cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organization. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and distribute it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 40% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incure during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as possible. May the good lord bless you and your family.
Please, send reply and all correspondences to my attorney:

Nuisance Calls From 07975-825284
This idiot rings me twice a day. I've not caught him yet and I only know because my phone tells me someone has rung. So I've no idea whether it's a silent call or someone trying to sell me something. So I tried to report it to BT's nuisance call bureau on 0800-6614413, but they said I must report it to Orange. Guess what, every number I could find needed an Orange mobile phone to report the problem. But I'm happy with mine and think it a bit rich to have to change my mobile to Orange to report one of their idiot customers. Eventually I found an e-mail form and sent this. I doubt I'll get a reply. The Orange number 07975-825284 rings me twice a day. As yet I've not managed to catch it, but my phone says I've been called. I've tried to ring it back, but I get an answerphone with a full voicemail box.
Can you please sort it?
My landline is 01440-783789 I should also say that I couldn't find an address to write to on the Orange web site. That is a disgrace and it should be the law. As a follow up to this, I caught the call this morning. It was a company called Financial Connections, ringing despite the number was registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Let's hope that stops it. Labels: general, techniques

For your assistance to me. If you are willing to help me, Please email at (jessicajohnson206@yahoo.fr) Best regards Mrs.johnson Labels: fraud
Mary Coleman
Why is it the more God is mentioned, the more likely it's fraud. She's desperate, as I got three doses of the crap. One out of five. Get Back To Me through This Email marycolemansfamily@yahoo.fr From madam Mary Coleman Dearest in the lord, I am mrs Mary Coleman. from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Lobi Coleman who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US $ 5million dollars in a security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in security company.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Get Back To Me through This Email marycolemansfamily@yahoo.fr Delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another organization for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.

Andren Smith
Fraud. One out of five. Dear Friend This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am Mr. Andren Smith currently Head of Corporate Affairs in Appex Bank here. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On November 6, 2003, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. KHALIL AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$10,500,000.00 Ten Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) in my bank and I happen to be his account officer before I was moved to my present position recently. Upon maturity in 2005, as his account officer and as well the bank manger, it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but the letter was returned undelivered. After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was again returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers, Chevron Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Khalil Al Nasser died as a result of torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President) during one of his trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information to the Americans. On further investigation, I discovered that Mr.Khalil Al Nasser’s family wife and two sons died during the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not leave any WILL . This sum of US$10,500,000.00 .have been floating and placed under dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard from the owner since 2005. I wish to let you know that all the investigation I have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am the only one that have the information.With the recent change of government in my country and with their efforts to support the United Nations in check mating terrorism aid , the government will pass a new financial control law which will give the government authority to interrogate account owners of above $5,000,000.00 to explain the source of the funds, making sure it is not for terrorism support. If I do not move this money out of the country immediately, by end of the year the government will definitely confiscate the money, because my bank cannot provide the account owner to explain the source of the money. I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance. As the Account Officer to lateKhalil Al Nasser, coupled with my present position and status in the bank as Head of Retail Banking Group, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. All documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out and there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law, . If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over the details . Thanking you in advance and may God bless you Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you copy of the deposit certificate issued to Later.Khalil Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your perusal. I wait your urgent reply through my private email address: Best Regards, Mr. Andren Smith Labels: fraud

Mrs. Hector J. Hailey
This one is priceless. Read it and then when you've stopped laughing go to the end and see my notes. From: Mrs.Hector J.Hailey Woodland Avenue Goole East Riding and Yorkshire DN14 6RX United Kingdom
My Dear Beloved,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Burnley General Hospital, Burnley, UK BB10 2PQ . I am married to Mr. Hector Juan, who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 7th of may in the year 2005. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of £8 Million (Eight Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Security Company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to a rare form of cancer of the pancreas. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universe. I understand that blessed is the hand that grivet. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Almighty. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and May the Almighty bless you.REPLY TO hector_hailey@yahoo.co.uk .
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Hector J.Hailey Note :- 1. DN14 6RX is actually the post code of the Goole and District Hospital. 2. BB10 2PQ is the post code of the Burnley Hospital, so she is being living in one and being treated in another. 3. And of course she has found God. Obviously her God is not the decent one that some people believe in. I don't, because so many take her name in vain and use it to extract money from others. 4. I have reported the spam to Yahoo.

Mary Pujeh Allen
Fraud. One out of five. Dearest Friend, Thank you for taking the time to read this mail. My name is Mrs. MARY PUJEH ALLEN, from Diamond rich country district of Bombali in Northern Province of Sierra Leone. I am the widow of the Late Mr.MOMOH PUJEH ALLEN, the managing director of Sierra Leone diamond mining co-operation and transport minister. I am currently living in a refugee center in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. My family and I have been unfortunate to find ourselves caught up in a very difficult situation in Abidjan. I know you will be surprise to receive this message, but it is of utmost importance to me and my family. Anyway, I am about to entrust my destiny and the destiny of my whole dependants on your shoulder if you can help us, it will also be of immense benefit to you too. This transaction demands utmost trust, honesty, integrity and most important, secrecy. It is only through the above that my family and I will be assured of our security.This regrettable situation led to the killing of my husband and only daughter and the displacement of my family During the brutal civil war in my country Sierra Leone, my late husband of blessed memory was brutally murdered by the rebels led by Mr. Foday Sankoh, he was murdered with my only daughter (Nina). But my two sons (Greg & Daniel) and I managed to escape to Ivory Coast, a neigbouring country through the help of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). But before my Late husband's death, he drew my attention to a box containing about twelve million US dollars ($12 Million) which he smuggled out at the start of the war to a Local Bank in Abidjan, He made the deposit in name of my son Greg Pujeh, He also gave me the certificate of deposit and receipt issued to him by the Bank, which I still have in my possession. The problem I have is that as a refugee, the immigration law does not allow us to open or hold operate bank account here, and the language barrier since here is a french country, I do not want to seek the assistance of just anybody for fear of being duped or defraud of our only livelihood, I have sold almost all my jewelries to keep body and soul together, hence the Ivoirian Government is not really taking care of us. What is required of you is to give us your full name, telephone and fax numbers and contact address so that I can secure a Power of Attorney in your favour that would enable you contact the Bank as the beneficiary of the Fund. You can then transfer the funds to your bank account after all legal documentations are done and secured. In order to make it worthwhile, we will give you part of the money. We have also map out 5% of the principal sum for any expenses that you may incurred during the transaction process which includes your traveling expenses, we intend to invest the remaining part of the money on your advice in any lucrative business ventures in your country, you may even act as our financial adviser if you are so disposed. I am looking forward to your immediate response, as I believe that destiny has brought us together. My son who is working in a local firm here will always be attending to you. Yours Faithfully, Mrs. Mary Pujeh Allen +225-06597853 Labels: fraud

Ben Dore or Dore Ben
It doesn't matter. He's a crook. One out of five. Dear Mr. James Miller, I know this mail will come as suprise to you but in a brief introduction. I am writing you following the impressive information about you. I was assured of your capability and reliability to assist me in this business transaction. My name are Ben Dore from Zimbabwe and currently in the refugee village of the republic of Ghana,having lost my father,mother and brothers during the crises in my country. My late father Mr. Mark Dore had $25million U.S. (Twenty-Five Million US dollars) with a security company here in ghana for future invesment before his sudden death. He was a major cocoa buyer and he also dealed in gold . I have the deposit documents as the next of kin,but the financial laws of ghana does not give financial right to refugees and under age persons to operate such account. I have contacted a financial attorney here in ghana and he advised me to scout for some one with the ability and background to help me recieve this funds abroad because of the amount involved, he promised he will be willing to work with such person by processing an affidavit and a change of ownership in your favour as the funds beneficiary to meet the storage company's requirement in these regard. The Security Company law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained uncliamed after a period of time, the money will be transfered into the Vault as unclaimed fund. It is therefore upon this discovery that I have decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or my beneficiary. This will be forwarded to the security company in respect of the change of ownership to you overseas, i will also require assitance to travel outside Ghana to meet you as soon as this arrangement is concluded. I require a trusted fellow outside africa who can help me process the transfer of these funds from the storage company here in Accra,Ghana to you in your country urgently because of the prevailing in-security in the Africa continent. I assure you of your share as foreign partner, in respect to this transaction. I require you to forward to me, your direct private telephone number for easy and effective communication. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Mr. Dore Ben Labels: fraud
William Cussans
This wanker is persistent as he sent me eight copies of this. Or stupid. I prefer the latter as it's fraud. One out of five. Even though there is a real William Cussans. From: Mr. William Cussans, Investment management, Smith & Williamson Private Banking Services 25 Moorgate London EC2R 6AY London, United Kingdom. Dear Friend, I am Mr. William Cussans, the accounting officer-in charge of the Private investment section of the above named Finance house. I have decided to contact you on a business Transaction that requires confidentiality, Trust and transparency, where both of us have a lot to benefit, during my investigation and auditing in the Accounts section, I came across a huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person. Though I know that contact of this nature will make any one apprehensive and worried, I am assuring you that everything has been taken care of, and you have nothing to fear at all and i would be very glad if you would allow me bring you to a clearer picture of what is on ground, what we intend to do and how we intend to do it.
This enquiry involves a client who shares your surname. It was brought to my knowledge that the aforementioned client died intestate and nominated no next of kin to the title over investments made. We came to know of you via the London. Global. Database.Center (L.G.D.C.) Hence i am making this contact. The essence of this communication with you is to request that you provide me with information on 3 KEY issues.
1. Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a person with any Private Bankers?
2. Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume status of next of kin to the deceased? He died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death, none of his relatives or associates have come forward to lay claims to his funds as next-of-kin, and on my own i have made concerted effort to locate any of his relatives but all proved abortive. Based on the ethics and policies of the bank,it would be declared unclaimed and taken to the treasury of the bank as capital base of the bank, because already the account has been tagged dormant because it has exceeded the normal functional number of years. We cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for it or lays claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission and assistance to present you and have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased,so that the funds can be released and transfer to you, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for it to be released in your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin, if not the members of the board of directors will utilise it for their personal aggrandisement. Because after six years as this is the fifth year going it will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and shared amongst the directors of the bank, so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary rather than allow the bank directors to share it amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that I have secured from the probate commission an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1. A beneficiary name, in order for me to prepare the documents for transfer in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For our personal contact and for easy communication between both of us.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you my identity for more confidentiality and trust in each other as i shall trust you not to elope at completion. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Contact me via this email address please: williamscussans000333@yahoo.co.uk Do note that my email address at the bank is monitored and contact should never be through that email.
Regards,
William Cussans. Labels: fraud
Fixing Washing Machines
I have a feeling that many household appliances these days are now made to be easy to manufacture. These days most machines seem to be easy to take apart, which is probably because they're easy to put together. Twenty years ago, they were often glued together and difficult to repair. Many a time, I tried to repair a tumbler drier and ended up with a load of parts on the floor. But things have changed now. I've recently repaired a tumbler dryer and a washing machine by purchasing parts off the Internet. The sites were helpful too. Just use Google to search for the make and model number.

Second Hand Car Parts
This is probably an obvious application, but it wasn't to me until someone suggested it. But there does seem to be several sites where decent parts can be obtained. Labels: techniques

This is fraud. One out of five. I am Robert Taylor, Head of international private banking at Coutts and Co., the private banking arm of Royal bank of Scotland international I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer, and an investment he placed under our banks management 2years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In 2005, the subject matter came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.7 million British Pounds Sterling, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank.

Yet another new fraudster. One out of five. Dear Sir/Madam, Vikrov International Limited is a Ukrainian textile company. We produce and distribute clothing materials such as batiks, and fabrics worldwide. We have reached big sales volume of textile materials in the United States and now are trying to penetrate the UK market. Soon we will open representative offices or authorized sales centers in the UK and therefore we are currently looking for people who will assist us in establishing a new distribution network there. Despite the fact that the UK market is new for us we already have a regular clientele which speaks for itself. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US? The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in Ukraine is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private in |
