This points to a company called UKCashLenders.co.uk.

Now I'm not an expert on loans, but I do wonder if it would be worth dealing with a company that has been mentioned in a spam e-mail.

Anita Adams

 

Another God-tosser. Fraud.

One out of five.

From Mrs Anita Adams
N[38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody
Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire

ATTN:
DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Adams Johnson, 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 $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.

Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour 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 is 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 bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. 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.

Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information’s, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual 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.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Anita Adams.

Thanks for your reply
Dear

I thank you sincerely for this opportuntiy given to me to express myselfto you.

Now to tell you more about me, I am master MATTA ZEPU. I am 19 yrs old. I am the only surviving son of my late father Mr Lamine who is a well know Gold and Diamond producer in my sierra loane in west Africa. He was poisoned by his immediate brothers who where jealous of his wealth by a food poison which also claimed the life of my mother and two sisters who died as a result of eating the food together with him without knowing that it was poisoned. Presently I am the next target because my father’s wealth and i am i a hididng place as i am writing to you now for my security. Although he revealed me part of his wealth before his death.

I discovered from his secret file that he had deposited an amount of money ($12.5mUSD) with a BANK. This money he got from the sales of the Gold and Diamond business which he also made with some of his associates from India and America and Europe.
Unfortunately, since after his death almost all his partners have never called nor try to know about my ware fare but rather they made away with all the money he had made with them.

So this money is the only thing that I can have for myself and I need someone to assist me to get this money out from the BANK and transfered to your account on trust and you will assit me to invest in your country and start my education there. This is why I contacted you and I believe that you will assist me for this and we will discuss about your own percentage as soon as I hear from you.
I will be waiting for your response message and I will give you more details as regards to the money and everything to assist you get the money out from the BANK for me.
I will like you to confirm to me your full contact details and phone numbers for easy communication.

As soon as I hear from you, I will give you more in formations.

Thanks you very much for your understanding.

Amira Rasheed

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

Assalamu alaikum my dear one.

I am Mrs. Amira Rasheed, I am a business woman with my late husband in Lebanon and America is where I am from to be precise but got married to an Iraqi man, who have been nice and faithful to me, due to the problem in Lebanon I lost Mr. Khalid Rasheed my husband who was involved in a bomb blast during the time Israel seems to be firing missiles into Lebanon, I am the only wife of my husband and we had no child together, his business was crippled too in this resent bombardment so there is nothing left for me to survive on, our house and other properties were destroyed the Israeli where taking advantages of the civilians in Lebanon, that time.

I went back to my wrecked house to check for some little valuables like diamonds and gold in my jewel box but non was recovered, I came across my husband diary and I found out that there is a huge sum of money (Financial institute) $2.5 million USD in where he kept all the best sum of money that would give me a new life as soon as Beirut and Israel settles their conflicts, I am a newly wedded wife and we performed a traditional wedding which most court in the Arab world recognizes but there is no document signed in court that is where I have a problem in claiming my husband money from the bank as they must requesting for the prove and certified papers that will make me entitled to his will.

I met a lawyer over here, who promised to assist me but I need someone from abroad with a valid and reputable account to handle it and receive the money as we are going to get it back through transfer, someone whom the lawyer can arrange to be my husband's business partner that loan the money to my husband to start his contracting business, Presently, I am in (YARMOUK [UNOFFICIAL REFUGEE CAMP) Yarmouk, which is an *"unofficial"
camp, is home to the largest Palestine refugee community in Syria, it lies 8 kilometres from the centre of Damascus and is inside the city boundaries, although not recognized as a camp, the road signs read:
Mukhayam al-Yarmouk (Arabic for Yarmouk camp) your share of the whole transaction is 25% of the total sum while 5% will be set as for any expenses you might incur at the cause of the apply transaction

And 5% will be for charity, which will be done as soon as the funds gets to you, since I have no better chance of getting the money directly from here, I don't mean to act in this form but recovering my late husband money by any means possible is better than allowing the security company to use it for their own interest. Please do let me know your concern as life in Damascus is not too simple and easy but it's the place I can still stay for now until get my 60% from you, thanks and I pray Allah will bless you as you are trying to assist me to recover what my late husband had suffered to get.

Sincerely.

Mrs. Amira Rasheed.

Peter Sand

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

I am Mr. Peter Sand, the Finance Director, Treasury & Insight Bank in United Kingdom. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of $45,000,000.00 [Forty FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS] during our Bank's Annual Year Account Auditing. The owner of this dormant account is a foreigner by name "Eddie Lapsley" who died on on 21 of December 2005, In a helicopter crashed near Coupar Angus in Perthshire; you can view this CNN website for details:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/7024576.stm

Since the death of this deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. Moreover, this account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it.
Definitely, this fund will be confiscated by our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS if it remains dormant for period of about [2] years now without any claims.

In this regard, I have used my position here to move the Funds last month on the 20th of november to a Private Finance Company where the money has been deposited and it is easier for you to lay claim to it there without much delay. I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring this dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund. I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer. First, I will transfer $5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will nominate, upon a successful transfer without any disappointment from your side; I will then fly to meet you in your home destination for sharing, thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of $40,000,000.00 for magnitude investments. I will be very grateful if you are interested in assisting me in this project.

If you are willing to cooperate in this project, you have to let me know via my personal email: peter.sand@live.com

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Peter Sand.

My Dearest One,

I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,

I am Mrs roseClement from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am married to Mr.William Clement from Kuwait who worked with Kuwait Embassy in GUINEE for nine years before he died in the year 2001.
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 $4.5 Million in a bank in AFRICA.
Recently, my DOCTOR told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church organization or good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a Church organization or good person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at all
because they are the one that killed my husband in other to have all my
late husband properties 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 Bank in AFRICA. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church or the organization 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.
Contact me on this email address (............................)and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church,organization or good person for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.

Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.

A slightly different and more chatty approach. It's still fraud though.

One out of five.

Hello,
I received a call from HBOS to advice that the money £10,000,000.00BPS is cleared and now available for withdrawal.
Now how is this money going to be transferred, because since last time I’ve been enquiring about those money transfer service agents you said to be used , Western Union, MoneyGram and Paypal and I was told they wouldn't transfer such huge sum through money transfer agents , how do I instruct the bank to wire the money to you?, as you suggested earlier that you would nominate bank account for the transfer or do you suggest to move the money to an offshore account to facilitate the transfer?.
I would like to do all these within my little limited time before the holiday and It would take me hours to drive to the nearest office, the bank only open Monday through Sat. and I would leave work to do that, the earliest I can take a day off from work, would be in three weeks time if I failed to do it now. The money should be transferred your a/c soon after you send the a/c information, provided you get it to me within the week.
I believe our discussion remains as we agreed i.e. for my commission, I should have deducted my share and send the balance but due to the Insurance embargo placed on the fund I cannot, so how am I going to receive my ransom commission?.

Waiting your earliest response.
Regards,
Olsen Pedersen.

I Hate Laptops

 

I do, as they get dropped and stolen.

But, now that I am alone and I have two dogs to look after, I like to spend more time in the kitchen. As we have a wireless network here on the stud, a laptop was a sensible solution.

I bought an affordable HP from eBuyer on the recommendation of my son, George, and it works well. All I did was type in the network password.

But as with all laptops the pointing device is awful.

So in PC-World, I bought a Logitech LX7 Cordless Optical Mouse.

It works well and improves the experience no end.

Closing an eBay Account

 

My wife, Celia, died on the 11th December 2007 and I had to close her eBay account.

Interestingly, I had to do it in writing, for security reasons. Apparently, there are people who close them maliciously.

But their people in Dublin, were sypathetic and professional. You'd be surprised that not everyone is like that.

Attention:

RE: TRANSFER OF [£36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT].

I wish to notify you that I am privileged to peruse over your profile today I am greatly impressed on your person. With all due respect, I guess my letter will not embarrass you, since I have no previous correspondence with you. I strongly believed, I would not regret approaching you in this matter.

My name is Mr.Benson Joss, and I work in the International Operation Department in a Bank here in London. I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused; I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.

At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties. WE WANT TO TRANSFER OUT MONEY FROM OUR BANK HERE IN LONDON. THE FUND FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN ORIGIN.

THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS A FOREIGNER, a program leader. Until his death, the Late Prime Minister, Mr.
Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri, has a huge investment here in the United Kingdom and all over the world, as a matter of fact he has the sum of (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGS
ONLY) in his account here in London which he deposited as a family valuables. The family does not know about this deposit.

I was on a routine inspection that I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL. Of (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS
STERLINGS) on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has passed away
(dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner. I am certainly sure that nobody will come again for the claim of this money. A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.
I will provide all necessary information needed in order to claim this money, hoping in God that you will never let me down now and in the future.

Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005), married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self- made millionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon
(1992-1998 and 2000-2004) before his last resignation from office on October 20, 2004. The late Mr. Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri died on the 14th day of February,
2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, for more information please log on to (http://www.hariri.info).

I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES BEFORE, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS.

I AM CONTACTING YOU BELIEVING IN GOD THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.YOU SHOULD ALL SO SEND YOUR PHONE NUMBER FOR EASY COMMNICATION.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Benson Joss.

Cyberlover

 

Scambusters are always a good source of early warning on new scams. This morning I received this from them about a new product called Cyberlover.

So watch out.

A new class of bots (software robots) have found their way onto online dating forums, and we predict this is just the beginning of a new class of scams that will probably grow very fast.

These programs mimic online flirting with the goal of getting victims to provide personal information.

The first of these programs is called CyberLover.
Unfortunately, CyberLover is good enough at automating its chat so that victims have a hard time recognizing that it's an automated robot rather than a real person.

Further, CyberLover can establish up to 10 "relationships" in 30 minutes. That means that scammers can use this software to automate the scamming process: rather than having to spend time themselves, they can unleash this software to find hundreds or thousands of victims at a time.

CyberLover can be used for financial and identity theft, as well as leading to "personal" websites that deliver malware.

Currently, CyberLover is targeted at Russian dating sites.
However, it won't be long until we see similar bots in other countries (probably next month).

Action: Always use common sense. Don't provide financial or other personal information. And be on the alert that you may be flirting with a robot. ;-)

With Due respect

With Due respect I humbly write to solicit for your partnership and assistance in the transfer and investment of my inheritance fund USD$7.5M from my late father who died mysteriously last Dec.

It was very evident that he was poisoned to death. In my culture, when a man dies, if he does not have a male child, the brothers shares his property leaving both the wife and the daughters empty handed including the house they live in. This is the exact case with me as I am the only daughter of my father. I lost my mother when I was barely a year old and my father refused to re-marry another wife because he felt solely responsible for my mother's death.

This is so because he concentrated much on his businesses that he rarely pays attention to
domestic affairs. He was always travelling taking care of his businesses that he did not
notice when my mother took ill. He thought it was a minor illness and was ignorant of this. My mother on her own resorted to self-medication. It was not until the illness degenerated that my father took my mother to hospital where she was diagnosed to find out that hypatitis had eaten deep into her blood stream. She didn't last long before she died. This happened when I was barely a year old. Based on this, my father could not forgive himself easily because of it and said he was responsible for her death as he could have saved her if only he had paid attention to the things at home rather than concentrating much on his businesses.

Despite all entreaties by friends and relatives, he refused to remarry but ensured that I had everything that I wanted. It was as a result of this that he made me the next of kin to his fund
deposit with the bank and stated that in the event of any eventuality, I should have a direct access to the fund only when I am 24 years of age otherwise, I should have a guardian/partner intercede on my behalf for the release of the funds to me. Unfortunately, he died late last year and I am 21 years of age currently. This is why I have contacted you to serve as a guardian
to me and as my foreign partner for the transfer and investment of the fund overseas My uncles does not know about the fund because they had already taken my father's houses and other properties because I am a girl and they said I do not have rights for any property. They have requested to have my father's bank papers but I simply told them that I do not know where he kept them. The younger brother took the house in the village while the houses in the town were sold out they shared the proceed they got from the sale. Right now, I am with a friend of mine and do sincerely want to travel out of my country. This can only happen when
I have secured the release and transfer of the funds in the bank.

This why it is important that we have a plan on the type of lucrative business that we can
invest the funds on.

I had at various times had discussions with the director of international remittance unit of the bank where my father deposited the funds and I was assured that once, I have someone who would be willing to receive the funds on my behalf, they shall commence all proceedings to effect the release and transfer of the funds into the person's designated account. Now, that you have signified your interest to partner with me, it would only be very necessary if you contact the bank and request for the release and transfer of my inheritance fund into your
nominated account for the purpose of investment and to further have me come over to your
country to continue with my studies.

I shall be giving you the bank's contact details as soon as I hear back from you so that you will go ahead and contact the bank.

Your urgent response will be appreciated,
Talk to you the more.
Sincerely,

Melanie Ibrahim

Fraud. This one invokes Allah. Same crap.

One out of five.

Dearest One

Assalam alaikum, may the peace of gracious Allah be with you. Please I have problem which I need help from you that’s why I decide to write you for help.

I have a proposal for you. However it’s not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour it against your will. I am in a difficult state of mind and was moved to send this proposal to you after my prayer.
I am Ibrahim Mohammed, the only son of my late parents. My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. My father was a highly reputable business magnet (a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously when he came back from business trips abroad in France. His sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by our uncle who travelled with him at that time. But Allah knows the truth.

Before death of my father he called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Six million, Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars. US($6.700,000) left in fixed/suspense account in one of the banks here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only son as the next of Kin in depositing the money.

I am 19 years old and a university undergraduate before I abandoned my school due to my uncle’s bad treatment to me since death of my father. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life coupled with my uncle’s late bad behaviour to me. I am confused and really don't know where to start from.
I am in sincere desire of your humble assistance to help me have the money transferred to you as my guardian for better life for me and invest the money into a business to be looked after by you.
What I am doing is as lead by my faith. I hope you are somebody I can trust that will not take me for granted or take undue advantage of my helpless condition because of my manner of approach to you.
If you know you are capable of handling this and help me rearrange my life. Please consider this my proposal and get back to me for more information.
My salaam to your family.
My sincere regards,
Ibrahim Mohammed.

This one has caught God badly. How sad!

It's still fraud.

One out of five.

Dearest in christ,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, I am Mrs Naomi Edward, from Kuwait I am married to Mr William Edward 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$8.5M One Million,Five hundred Thousand United States Dollar in a Bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire West Africa.

Presently, this money is still in bank.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 Bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire west africa

I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund from kuwait federal High Court of Justice. 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.Contact me on the this email (naomi_kn11@yahoo.com)
any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church 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
Take care,
In Christ's Holy Love
Yours Sister in christ
Mrs.Naomi Edward.

Dear friend

I got your details after an extensive online search for a reliable foreign business partner.

It involves a time deposit of $48.3million (Forty Eight Million And Three hundred thousand United States Dollars only) in an account in the Netherlands.

The circumstances surrounding the death of the depositor with no known nominated successor has made it difficult to locate anyone who is directly related to the deceased.

With very strong feeling that no one will ever come forward to claim the funds and the investigation coming to a close after several months, the need for assistance becomes crucial, as a next of kin to the depositor is earnestly sought for and your name fits exactly the family name of the depositor and that is why i have contacted you today.

I have a legal and totally risk free means through which the funds can be released to you or your nominated bank account within a very short time after due documentation and authentication process.

The strategy is to use my position as his Attorney to present you as a next of Kin and beneficiary of the time deposit.

I expect your response and if in the affirmative, contact me on my direct
Phone: +31-630-261-307.You can also send an email to my private email address which is as follows:
dkscotdavid@netscape.net

I shall advice you on what we need to do on receipt of a positive response from you.

E-Trust and GMail

 

This is yet another nameless company, which has a GMail e-mail address. Would you trust them? Of course not! It's fraud.

When I see a GMail e-mail address, I rate it just below Hotmail. In other words, it's someone who has something to hide, unless of course it's a real individual, who uses that type of e-mail address for convenience. But in those cases, you have generally met the individual either personally or over the Internet in a legitimate way.

But not through spam!

Fraud. Yet another one out of Nigeria.

One out of five.

From The Desks Of
Mr. Jim Williams
First Atlantic Bank Nig. plc
Lagos, Nigeria.

Good day,

I am Mr.Jim Williams, Bank Manager of First Atlantic Bank Plc.,Lagos Branch. Having consulted and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of USD$25,000,000.00(twenty five million united states dollars) into your account.

On December 6 1997, an American oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Mr. Henry Gardner made a numbered
time(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at USD$25,000,000.00(twenty five million dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, that Mr. Henry died in an automobile accident.

On 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.Henry did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork.

This sum USD$25,000,000.00 is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Laws, at the expiration of 10(ten) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a next of kin of Mr.Henry Gardner.

This is simple

1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names & address so that an attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which will put you as next of kin.

2) We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting & notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

3) A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide to facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary.

The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you, which we will both sign and agree to, by a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U) before we proceed with the transfer of the money to you.

There is no risk at all as the attorney will do the paperwork for this transaction and with my position as the branch manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand.PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY, and be rest assured that this would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via this email below , please save me the anxiety of endless waiting. Please reply to : jim@nabeul.cc

God bless you as you do.

Maria Lopez

 

She's really found God. That old myth has conned her, but she is not going to con me.

It's fraud.

One out of five.

Attention: Greetings,
Greetings in the name of our lord Jesus Christ, I am the former Maria Luz Lopez, a widow to late Mr Castillo Lopez, I am 47 years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breas and partial paralysis.

From all indications my Condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I won"t live more than 4 months according to the doctors.
This is because the cancer and partial paralysis stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was killed during the U.S raid against terrorism in Afghanistan,and during the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his businesses and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than four months, so I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to distribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
I selected you after visiting the website. And I prayed over it.I decided to donate this fund $1.8 million U.S dollars to an organisation or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an organisation or individual that will use this fund for building of school and creation centers, victims of war, victims of Aid, environmental protection,charities,orphanages and widows.Please I want you to note that this fund is lying in Escrow account and upon my instruction, my attorney, who presently is in Africa distributing relief materials to victims of War in (Sudan), will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose,because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity. May the grace of our lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and your Family?
I await your urgent reply.Yours in Christ,
Mrs Maria Luz Lopez

Sylla Tahirou

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, I am Mr sylla tahirou auditor General.

This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly Confidential and top secret. However I was asked to audit the bank and there I came across of sum amount been unclaim that belong to one of the bank customer Dr George Brumley
During the above mentioned process, I discovered the abandoned sum of US$10.5M (Ten million five hundred thousand US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa.
Since we got information about his death, which the bank have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash.
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about the Plane Crash:
http://www.wral.com/news/2345844/detail.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I send this business proposal to you so that the fund can be release to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and the bank don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

I agree that 50% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account where the fund will be transfer, and 50% would be for me and there after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of the application to fill and send to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free risk and this transaction will only take us 14 banking days because as a banker, I know what to do and move the fund into your account without any delay and you should not entertain any atom of fear.

You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter so that I can send to you the text of the application.

Yours faithful.
Mr sylla tahirou Auditor General

ATTENTION:

My name is Mr. LAWAL MAKU. I hail from the Federal Republic of Ghana, 45 years, married with three children. I am the Diretor of Global Security & Finance Services Limited, Ghana. I got the information concerning you from the Internet and after due consideration, I decided to contact you believing that by the Grace of God, that you will not disappoint me over this deal.

I have been working with this company for over fifteen years. Within this period,and i have watched with meticulous precision how African Heads of State and Government functionaries have been using Global Security & Finance Ltd to move sums of money USD, Pounds Sterling, French Francs (cash) to their foreign partners. They bring in these consignments of cash and secretly declare the contents as jewelries, gold, diamonds, precious stones, family treasures, and documents etc.
Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (dead), Gen. Sanni Abacha of Nigeria (dead),Fode Sankoy of Sierra Leone, Babangida of Nigeria, Felix Houphet Boigny of Cote d"Ivoire (dead), Kanan Bedie of Cote d"Ivoire (Abidjan) etc. All these people have many consignments deposited with my office.

Their foreign partners, friends and relatives are claiming most of these consignments. A lot of them are lying here unclaimed for as much as eight years. Nobody will ever come for them because in most cases, the Certificate of Deposit are never available to anybody except the depositors or me since most of them are dead. I have through the instrumentality of Global Security & Finance re-deposited all these unclaimed and overstayed consignment into the Vault Facility of a reputable Security Company in Europe. Since the inception of the year 2000, our company's management has changed the procedure of claims of consignment, as soon as you are able to produce the secret information as contained in the secret file of any consignment, it will bereleased to you upon demand.

I have finalized every arrangement for you to claim consignment No. 1401,

Upon your positive reply of this letter, I will furnish you with further details and information regarding the modus operandi for the execution of the transaction. This business is risk free as I have taken necessary preventive measures. (The mode of sharing will be 50-50), you can reach me by email and I will direct you on what to do and also l like you to furnish me with your full name and your confidential phone and fax number(s) for easy reach.

Song Lile

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

DEAR FRIEND,

I am Mr Song Lile Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho
Branch,171 Shaukiwan Road Hong Kong.

An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of (139,513,102.50 HK) for 18 calendar months, this is valued Seveteen million Eight Hundred and Sixty Thousand United States Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, three years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Seveteen million Eight Hundred and Sixty Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration five years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position to instruct HANG SENG BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the procentange 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days.
I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Haider Hanoon I will then officially communicate with my Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is done. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.

I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny.

These chances wont pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing.

If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through the email account that i will provide therein in this email.

Further more be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you the privilege to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased client had no relation all his family died with him during the war and I can not use my relation because its not accepted here in Hong Kong. Also I am very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this deal and all that I need from the time been is your willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the nest one weeks.

What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure that it passes through all international banking laws regards to this I will take care of all the expenses and the cost of retaining the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this transaction will be to set up two offshore accounts that can accommodate these funds and I will give you more light later once you agree to partner with me.

Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through international banking laws and all documents related to this transaction will be sent to you by post for your perusal and trust.

I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man, I have wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. Should you be interested I will prefer you to reach me on the email address below.
E-mail:songlileprivate11@yahoo.com.hk .Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

CONFIDENTIAL MEMO.
Re: Your Funds At The Central Bank Of Nigeria.

ATTN: ,

I am REV.KENNETH EZE, a personal secretary to Prof.Charles Soludo the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN). I have this vital/urgent information for you. I came across your record from the desk of my boss from a list of contractors whose payments are marked as unclaimed.
I discovered that you have virtually paid all fees you’ve been asked to pay and acquired all necessary certificates but your funds has not been released to you. My boss and some of his colleagues in other ministries including the Deputy Governor of central bank of Nigeria (Chief Ernest Ebi) who are involved in your transaction have conspired to divert your fund to a different account entirely and the strategy they used is by demanding several charges from you so that you will be frustrated and abandon the funds thereby creating an avenue for them to refer the funds as“unclaimed” and subsequently transfer it to their offshore account outside the country. I do not intend to mar your relationship with my boss. “The truth is always bitter,

but has to be told”. I can assist you to get your funds if you can guarantee me of adequate cooperation and secrecy in connection to this fact that I am relaying to you this faithful day because my life will be at risk in the hands of my boss and his cartel that think that they are the Godfathers, you may not understand. Already they have filled in an application to the federal high court of justice for a change of account and beneficiary in their favor. So, for the best of your own interest I’ll advise you to put up an application for Counter Claim to the Corps. Diplomatique Bureau of Nigeria so as to supercede that of the federal high court of justice in order to nullify their interior motive of diverting your funds to their offshore account in abroad. Please this information I am giving to you is a great risk on my side, I appeal to you to keep it absolutely confidential. You can contact me via tel# 234-1-4710020

Yours faithfully,
REV. KENNETH EZE.

OCCUPATION: AUDITOR GENERAL

Attn: /
Sir / Madam,
I am pleased to introduce a business opportunity to transfer to your overseas account the sum of ($25.000.000.00 USD) Twenty five million United States Dollars from one of the Prime Banks here in Dakar Senegal to your foreign bank account.

I am Mr.Ahmed Hamza (Bsc,Msc) the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in Dakar Senegal, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating funds in an account opened in our bank since 2000 and since 2003 no body has operated on the account and after going through old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account died long ago in a plane crash along with his family without leaving a [Heir/WILL], hence the floating of the funds and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is a foreigner a miner and an Industrialist,My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the Managing Director of Aluminium & Steel industries (PTY) I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. He made millions of Dollars before his untimely death on DEC 26 2003 Website details as follows; http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/

Therefore, with a personal conviction of trust and confidence, I wish to contact you as a foreigner, to stand as a relative, thus I can work out the release of the funds, No other person in the office knows about the account, please be assured of the risk free, I'm the one that will work it out, all I need is your co-operation because the account content can not be approved to an indigene here as his next of kin.

At the conclusion of this project, I propose a joint investment of an equal partnership with you or we may share it in a ratio of 45% for you and 50% for me, while 5% for any expenses incurred for this deal.

One more thing please, I beg you don't consider this against moral justification, they are many other aspects of life we may contribute with this funds to help the less privileged and the needy in a society than having it shared as an unclaimed bill among Governments.Contact me via my private email: ahmedhamza_auditor5@yahoo.com I look forward to your earliest response Wasalam Mr.Ahmed Hamza

The Bill and Exchange Manager,
African Develoment Bank(ADB)
ouaga-burkina faso in west Africa.

Dear,

I am MR JC MARTINS the bill and exchange manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit foreign remittance department of african develoment bank(ADB)ouaga-burkina faso in west Africa.
With due respect and regards I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer, a foriegner who died in a plane crash with his family during their vacation journey and the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development,Although personally, I kept this information secrete within myself and to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.

The amount involved is $ 5 million U.S.A dollars ( Five Million U.S.A Dollars) Meanwhile, all the necessary arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the next of kin to the deceased is ready, Upon your acceptance all the information will be forward to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank, this is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account to the bank where you will need the said fund to be transferred into, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account.

We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email, the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you, I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down there for subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice me to invest in.

All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you, I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible, stating your wish in this deal.

Waiting for your soonest response.
Yours faithfully,

I am MR JC MARTINS ,
Bill and Exchange Manager,

Peter Hawrk

 

This idiot has verbal diarrhoea. It's still fraud though.

Don't you just love his misspelled name.

One out of five.

DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr.Peter Hawrk Executive Director of one of the appex bank.
An Iragi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, this is valued to Seventten million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, three years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Seventeen million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration five years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position to instruct the BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the procentange 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Haider Hanoon I will then officially communicate with my Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is done. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.
I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances wont pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing.
If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through the email account that i will provide therein in this email.
Further more be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you the privilege to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased client had no relation all his family died with him during the war and I can not use my relation because its not accepted here . Also I am very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this deal and all that I need from the time been is your willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the nest one weeks.
What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure that it passes through all international banking laws regards to retaining the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this transaction will be to set up two offshore accounts that can accommodate these funds and I will give you more light later once you agree to partner with me.
Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through international banking laws and all documents related to this transaction will be sent to you by post for your perusal and trust.
I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man, I have wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. Should you be interested I will prefer you to reach me on the email address below.

GREETINGS AND COMPLIMENTS.

From: Mrs. Sandra Watson
Email: mrssandrawat@aim.com

ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr Christopher Watson who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2005.
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 Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 18Million Dollars (eighteen Million United State Dollars) with the BANK in Europe


Presently, this money is still with the BANK. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I 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 hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don't 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 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 and because of 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 BANK in Europe I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this Fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.
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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hearing from you.

I have set aside 20% for you and for your time and 10% for any expenses if there is any . Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Mrs. Sandra Watson
