Dear/sir,

I am making this contact with you based on the reliable information I gathered. This information was positive as to convince me that you would be capable to handle such high magnitude business, which am about proposing to you.

My name is Mr. Robin Hanse and I work in the International operation department in (Inheritance Finance House South Africa ) On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BALL. Of 36,000,000,00 (Thirty Six Million USD) on further discreet investigation.

I also discovered that the account holder Has long since passed away (dead) leaving no Beneficiary to the account. Our Finance HOUSE will approve this money to any foreigner Because the former operator of the (account) is a foreigner and from (BRAZIL) and nobody has 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 the necessary information needed in order to claim this money from our (Finance House) But you will need to open an account where this can be transferred.

If you are interested send your private Telephone No. And Fax number including full details of an (Empty) account information to be used for the Deposit of this money.

I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction as my job and the future of our family would be jeopardized if it were breached. I want to assure you that the transaction is without risk if due processes is followed accordingly.

I have set in motion the machinery for the taking off on this transaction and further action will commence immediately I hear from you. I have agreed that after receiving of this money by you, you will be initiated 40% while 10% has been set out for taxes and miscellanies expenses made in this business before sharing , while I shall take off 50% of the total money.

it might interest you to know that last year a similar transaction was carried with Mr. Andrew Miller the president of cranial International Trading Co-operation at Number 1 135 East 57th street 28th Floor New York, 10022, with telephone number (212) 3007788 and telex number 6731639.

After the agreement between both parties in which he was take 20% of the money while the remaining 80% for me with all the required document signed the money was duly received by Andrew Miller only to be disappointed on my arrival in New York city and I were reliably informed that Mr. Andrew Miller was no longer in that address while his telephone number has been relocated to somebody else, that was how I lost $25 million dollars (USD) to Mr. Andrew Miller. This time around I need a more reliable and trust worth person or a reputable company to do business with, what I want is the assurance that you will let me have my own share after a successful transfer of the (Fund) in to your account. All necessary precaution have been taken to ensure a non-risk situation on this transaction.

It is my believe that this transaction will take 10 working days daring delays, because We have to follow according to inheritance procedure.What I need is your wiliness and acceptance by assisting me receive this money.

Looking forward to hear from your favorable responses. Many thanks

GREETINGS! GREETINGS!

From Mrs Maria Elena Fernandez,

I am the above named person from Philippine. I am married to Mr. Rodolfo FERNANDEZ who worked with Philippine embassy in Kuwait for nine years before we left to Philippine where he was re-appointed as a navy officer before his untimely death in the year 2005.

We were married for eleven years without a child. He died in his home country Philippine 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 $7.3Musd (Seven Million Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in cash concealed in a trunk box and deposits it with a Security Company in Abidjan Cote d ivoire (West Africa) which he declare and register it as family valuables.

Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is the high blood pressure 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 or individual 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 do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. This is why I am taking this decision to contact you.

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 do not need any telephone communication for security purpose until this mission is accomplished.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply with full assurance of your assistance, I shall give you the legal proof of this matter and contact of the security company in Abidjan where he deposited the trunk box. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present and legal beneficiary of this trunk box (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.

Hope to receive your reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Maria Elena Fernandez

God Tosser

 

I've used this term a lot lately.

It's fairly simple and is defined as a crook, who uses God as a means to ensnare his or her victim.

I doubt that God would approve. Even if she existed!

Dearest One,

It is my pleasure to write you trusting Allah that this well timed contact will bring us into one family. I am Karmen Igoh the only Daughter of late Mr/Mrs. Camara Igoh from Kwazulu Rwanda. But residing Bouake Southarn part of Cote d'Ivoire
My father was a Cocoa merchant in Bouake before his untimely death last year, after his business trip to France, to negotiate on a cocoa business. He was poisoned by his business associates.

My mother died when i was 12years and since then my father took me so special..Before the death of my father, he informed me that he deposited the sum of Three Million, Eight Hundred United State Dollars (US$3.8 Million)and some kgs of Gold in a one of the security company here in Abidjan and this deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as personal effects this means that the Security Company does not know that the box contains money because it was deposited as Family valuables for safekeeping.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that made his business associates to poisoned him. He asked me to seek for a foreign partner outside our country where I will transfer this money and invest it wisely and also see that I complete my education.
I am soliciting for your kind assistance as my husband in releasing of this fund from the security company and have it transfer into your account for investment. And you help me to come to your country immediately as the
political tension here is increasing daily I will be willing ing to give you 10% of the total sum as compensation for your efforts in helping me in this transaction. And you will take me as a member of your family as I am only 20yrs.

I wait for your quick response.

Yours Miss Karmen

FROM Mrs. Simbi Angulu
19 Seagrave Road, Fulham,
London SW6 1RP,
United Kingdom.

Dear Sir/Ma,

I am Mrs. Simbi Angulu a citizen of United States of America but I based in London.
I am a good merchant,I spend all my life on investment and corporate business,unfortunately I lost my husband and my two beautiful kids on the
24 November 2001 Cross air aircraft crash of the 97-seat Jumbolino Avero RJ-100 aircraft en route from Berlin, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland.The aircraft crashed in poor weather conditions as it approached Zurich airport.

On 4th September,2006.I went for a medical check up,and my personal doctor confirmed to me that I have a lung cancer,which can easily take off my life soon.I found it uneasy to survive myself,I quickly called a pastor to give me positive thinking on this solution and he advised me to donate all I have to the less-privileged in the society since I don't have any child that will inherit it.
So I have decided to donate the fund which I deposited with a security company US$3.5 Million (Three Million,Five Hundred United States Dollars)to a non-governmental,or a non religious,or a non profit Organization or better still an individual that will utilize this money the way I have instruct here in.I want the Organization,or an individual,that will use this gift which comes from my sweat to fund the upkeep of widows,widowers,orphans, destitute,the down-trodden, physically challenged children.

So I am writing this letter to any Organization or better still an individual that will utilize this money the way I have instructed.And as soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact information of

my attorney whom I have entrusted everything regarding the claim of this fund from the security company where the fund was deposited. he will assist you secure all the required documents to make sure you claim this fund,and also a Letter of Authority will be issue to you on my behalf on this regards,making you the original beneficiary of this fund with other related documents.

Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.

Best Regards

My Dearest one,

How are you hope you are doing fine and i think everything is going on as you expected.

I so much thank's you for your prompt reply to my mail, and as i told you in my fisrt mail to you i will like to tell you about me, I am Maria Bankole ,21years old and the only daughter of my late parents Chief and Mrs. Ibrahim Bankole .

My father was a highly reputable busnness 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 in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb 2005.

Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special.

Before his death on Febuary 12 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of (14,OOO,OOO USD ) 14 Million Dollars) kept in a security company here in (Africa.)

He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.He decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money as his first daugther for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates,

That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes. I want you to assist me in clearing this box(fund)from the security company and then tranfer the fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just 21 years old and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds.

This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.

The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.

My sincere regards,

Miss Maria Bankole

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of the Bank of Africa(BOA)BURKINA FASO. I am writing following the impressive information about you. I have the assurance that you are capable and reliable enough to champion an impending transaction. In my
department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5m USD (Ten million, five hundred thousand US dollars), in an account that belonged to one of our former customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash, in
November, 2001. Since we received the information about his death, we expected his next of kin to come forward and claim his money, as enshrined in our banking laws and regulations.

So far nobody has come forward, and we cannot release the funds unless someone applies as the next of kin as stipulated in our guidelines. Unfortunately, we have discovered that all his supposed next of kin or relations died alongside with him in the plane crash, and effectively leaving nobody behind to come forward and claim the balance left in his
account.

My colleagues and I want to take this once in a life time
opportunity.It is consequent upon this discovery that other officials and I in my department decided to make this business proposal to you. We want to present you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased person. We intend to transfer
the money into your account for safety and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming forward for it. If we lose this golden opportunity, the bank is going to return the money into the bank’s treasury as unclaimed bill.

The bank’s regulation stipulates that if after seven years, such money remains unclaimed; the money will be reverted to the bank’s treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as the next of kin in this transaction is predicated upon the fact that the said customer was a foreign national and no citizen of this country can claim to be the next of kin
of a foreigner. We agree that 30% of the total sum we be given to you for your assistance in facilitating this transaction. My colleagues and I are going to retain 60% of the total sum, and 10% will be set aside for the expenses that we may incur in facilitating the remittance. To enable us effect this remittance, you must first apply as the next of kin of the deceased.

Your application will include your bank co-ordinates, that is, your bank name, bank address and telex, your bank account.I want you also to include your private telephone no. and fax no. in your response to me, for easy and effective communication during this process. My colleagues and I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the agreed ratio, when this transaction is concluded.

Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you the text of an application which you will use to apply to bank for payment of this to your bank account. I must not fail to bring to your notice the fact that this transaction is hitch free, and that you should not entertain any fear, as you are adequately protected from any form of embarrassment. Do respond
to this letter today to enable us proceed with the transaction.

Yours sincerely,
Mr abdul kere

REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE

Please contact us through this our privat EMAIL ADDRESS. ( kallonephraim@yahoo.fr ) PHONE (+225 08 69 59 44) Dear,

Good Day and God bless as i introduce my self to you with all faith and hope you will understand us and not to betray us at the end.

My name is EPHRAIM the only son and my sister's name is JOY the only daughter .We are the children of late CHIEF ISAAC KALLON. I am 21 Years old, our father died years ago in a gold mine in MENDE, Republic of Serria Leone, He was into legal solid minerals, diamonds and gold mining saleing, he has succeeded in saving ( $16.2m ) ( sixteen million two Hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) during his Business on Gold, After he went on a trip to Republic of Cote D'Ivoire near by country to our country to save his money for security reasons because of the political problem in our country, as our father returns back to our country Unfortunately he is dead rebels kills him and i will not want this money to be kept like that without any investment purpose please we are contacting you with full trust to assist and help us to transfer this money out from here to your country for investment purpose hoping that you will not let us down.

This money was revenues from legal solid minerals, diamonds and gold mining sale, which were under my fathers possession before the war broke out in our country, after the death of our father my mother took us to Abidjan Ivory Coast here and during the war in our country Our mother sustained very sever bullet injuries which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast. Now we are alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives or any body to take care of us at our tender ages. Before our mother died she told us that our father deposited this money in commercial bank here in Abidjan.

So my mother advice us that we should do praying and fasting to find a trust worthy person who will help us to stand as our late fathers foreign business partner, who would help us to transfer this money to his account and invest it in a profitable business venture in his country or in abroad and also help us to come over to his country and stay with him as his own blood children and continue our education which terminated because of the war in our country, She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast and then settle down in abroad because of the political problems here now in ivory coast. She gave us all the vital documents that covers deposited money in the bank and she told us that our late father reached an agreement with the bank that this money is for onward transfer to a foreign account to any of his foreign business partner but our late father did not introduce any name to the bank as his foreign business partner, that is why we are contacting you to help us to stand as our late fathers foreign business partner so that the bank will transfer this money $16.2 million to your account, our father used my name as the only son to deposited the money as next of kin. our mother made us to know that this is the reason why we run to this country Ivory Coast. My mother died after words. May her spirit rest in perfect peace.

I am always visited the bank to make inquires on how to transfer this money out from here and I spoke with the director of the bank who assured and promised to help us to transfer this money to any of my fathers foreign business partners immediately within 72 working hours as soon as i provide my late fathers foreign business partners details to they bank he also said that my father did not introduce any name to they banks as his foreign business partners that i should submit my late fathers foreign business partners details to they bank However, the manager is very concerned because of our age. I am 21 years while my younger sister is 19, he also told us that our late father reached an agreement with they bank that the money is for onward transfer to a foreign account and entered my name as the next of kin. he pleaded that I should look for any of my fathers foreign business partners in abroad who will help me to transfer this money out of here to his account.

We need help from you to help us submit your name to the bank as our fathers foreign business partner and transfer this money to your account for investment and be sincere to get travailing papers and invert us to his country with out cheating us or doing bad to us on our arrival,

In accordance's with my mothers advise, I'm willing to give you 20% of the money after the transfer of the money and 5% extra for any expense you incurs in this transaction and you will use the rest to invest in good business, I am interested in any profitable business or commercial venture which you consider very good in your country or abroad to invest this money, please mail us immediately urgent to know your stands before looking else where, because you're the first person we are contacting and also send your phone number as soon as possible for easer communication's.

Attention Dear,

I write to solicit your assistance and support to enable me execute a very lucrative and high profiting business transaction.I am very sure that with trust and understanding,we can be able to execute this business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will not let down the trust I am willing to repose in you.

I work for an Ghanaian based import and export firm (A MIC), I work as product sourcing manager. Between the 17th -19th of June, 2006 a business seminar was held in Tamale in the northern part of Ghana of which I attended. While in the Seminar, I was opportune to meet ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD ,the President of USMAN MOHAMMED DAIRY & CATTLE FARMS.

ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD is an accomplished and widely known and recognized millionaire farmer in this part of the region. He has cattle farms in different countries. Above all, he is one of the greatest supplier of cattle,beef and other diary products in this part of the coast.

On getting to know my profession,ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD took me into confidence by informing me about the purchase of a particular but very important medicine for his cattle. He informed me that he buys this product at US$5,000.00 DOLLARS per carton, and that he mostly buys to the excess of 250 cartons. He informed me that he would like me to find out if my organization could source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent trend of falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is affecting his business.

Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my boss and he decided to handle the supply by himself.We carried out a market research and discovered that we could purchase this medicine somewhere cheaper in EUROPE for US$2,500.00 DOLLARS CIF per carton to TEMA PORT IN ACCRA GHANA.We moved a proposal to USMAN MOHAMMED DAIRY & CATTLE FARMS.to make the supply to them at US$4,800.00 Dollars per carton of which he accepted.

Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an agreement with my director to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each supply of which he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt of the payment,my boss renegated on our agreement and refused to give me my share of the profit. Since then our relationship has been at its lowest ebb. I have since accepted it as one of life experiences.

However, as God would have it, recently, I ran into ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD and he informed me that he would want us to urgently supply him with 250 cartons of the same product as soon as possible. I used the opportunity to inform him that I can introduce him to the main producer of this vaccine who can supply him the product at US$4,500.00 Dollars if he will pay in advance as he usually does.

He was very pleased and has assured me that he is not going to contact my boss again for this vaccine. He is now waiting for me to link him to the producer of the vaccine. We will buy the medicine at US$2,500.00 DOLLARS CIF from EUROPE and sell at $4,500.00 USD TO ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD,with him making a down payment of 50% of our quoted price upfront.

If you are interested and capable of handling this supplies on my behalf,kindly get back to me urgently,so that we can agree on the terms and profit sharing,after which I can then furnish you with the contact of both our source in EUROPE and that of ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD.

Kindly be notified that at no point in time should you let ALHAJI USMAN MOHAMMAD know that you are not the producer of the medicine and we should never allow him to know the contact of our real source in EUROPE so that he wouldn't by pass us to deal directly with them.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Mr.Boko Charles

Mon nom est madame SHEREMETEVA Nadezda, je suis de nationalité Russe et veuve.Mon Epoux est décédé dans le désastre de Tsunami en Thaďlande.Je suis héritičre des biens de mon époux d’oů la somme de 4.500.000 de dollars américains.
J’ai en ce moment quelques difficultés avec ma belle famille qui veut mettre la main sur certains biens.
Ainsi ne sachant pas l’existence de cet argent,discrčtement j’ai prise le soin de mettre cet argent ŕ l’abri de ses derniers.
Je l’ai caché dans une mallette métallique et déposé au sein d’une compagnie de Sécurité des biens ici en Russie.
Cependant, n’étant plus en sécurité vis-ŕ-vis des investigations que menait ma belle famille, j’ai insistée auprčs de la compagnie de sécurité que ma mallette soit gardée avec un maximum. La compagnie par des moyens diplomatiques a donc transférée ma mallette hors de la Russie sur mon approbation ŕ une compagnie de garderie de bien en LONDRE . Mon époux faisait des affaires dans ce pays.
Ce dépôt a été fait et codé dans le cadre d’un arrangement secret selon lequel ma mallette contient uniquement des biens de famille.Cela signifie donc que la compagnie elle męme ne connaît pas le contenu exact de la mallette qui pour plus de sécurité a été envoyée au LONDRE sous une assurance diplomatique et déclarée comme contenant des biens de famille.
Aussi, la raison principale pour laquelle je vous envoie ce courrier est que, n’ayant pas confiance en ma belle famille ici en Russie.
Je me retrouve dans une impasse et je voudrais que vous m’aidiez discrčtement ŕ effectuer le transfert de ma mallette dans votre pays. Car j’envisage investir dans des domaines rentable. Avec votre accord, nous discuterons au préalable d’un pourcentage qui vous sera versé ŕ la fin de la transaction.
En fait, depuis la mort de mon époux, les membres de ma belle famille ont ŕ plusieurs reprises tenté de porté atteinte ŕ ma vie pensant qu’a ma mort tous les documents légaux des bien que possédaient mon mari leur reviendraient de plein droit. De par leurs relations influentes, ils ont réussi ŕ m’arracher toutes les propriétés ainsi que tous ses biens matériels. Mais ils ne se sont pas arrętés la et m’ont obligée ŕ leur révéler tous les comptes bancaires de mon époux en menaçant ŕ nouveau ma vie.
Je leur est donc donner les informations et ils ont confisqués tous les comptes bancaires.
Je leur ai tout révélé sauf l’existence de ce dépôt que j’ai fait au sein de la compagnie de sécurité au LONDRE car ceci représente tout mon secret espoir caché.Ma belle famille n’est donc pas informée de l’existence de ce dépôt que j’ai fait au sein de la compagnie de sécurité et je ne souhaiterais pas qu’elle ne le sache.Cependant,j’ai toujours peur des frčres de mon mari car ils continuent de m’espionner et vont jusqu’ŕ écouter mes conversations.C’est pourquoi j’ai décidée de chercher quelqu’un de confiance hors de la Russie qui m’aidera ŕ retirer la mallette de la compagnie de sécurité et la placer discrčtement dans un compte ŕ l’étranger pour un investissement futur.
Je vous demande de considérer ma situation qui est celle d’une veuve et de venir ŕ mon aide car aujourd’hui ŕ part cet argent contenu dans la mallette, je n’ai plus d’argent et ma situation financičre est plus que difficile (ma situation financičre est ŕ zéro). Et ma demande d’aide est d’autant plus urgente que je paye 10 dollars par jour ŕ cette compagnie de sécurité comme frais de stockage et de sécurité de ma mallette.
Si vous désirez m’aider, je vous ferez parvenir dans mon prochain émail, les coordonnées de la compagnie de sécurité afin que vous les contactiez pour l’envoie immédiat de la mallette chez vous pour la sécuriser.
Je vous remercie infiniment pour votre coopération et j’attends de vos nouvelles pour la conclusion de cette affaire.repond ici (shere23nad@yahoo.com) Mme.SHEREMETEVA Nade

Howard Consulting Group

 

We had Woosley Advanced yesterday and today we get Howard Consulting.

Same old fraud, with a different name.

One out of five.

The Changing Face of Spam

 

It is now six months, since I started the new method of collecting and analysing spam.

If I tried to collect all the spam sent to daisy.co.uk, jamesmiller.com and all of the other domains I use, it would be a nightmare, as I get upwards of 13,000 messages every day. I may be sad, but not that sad.

So I just analyse the spam sent to legitimate e-mail addresses in those domains and then split it down into several groups like Banking, Drugs, Gambling, Loans, Pornography, Pump and Dump, Replicas, Viruses and Others. The last group contains all the weird ones of which I have no idea what they are about.

Note that all of the graphs in this topic can be clicked and you will see a full-size version in another browser window.

Average Monthly Spam

This graph shows the average number of spam e-mails I've received every day from August 2006 to the 19th of January 2008.


As you can see it has risen alarmingly. In just under 18 months, the numbers I have received has gone from about 3,000 a day to around 14,000.

So why has this alarming increase not been raised in the media?

Probably because Internet companies have been able to grow to accommodate this traffic and also because governments and especially the US government have done little to halt the tide of spam.

Percentage Good Addresses in Spam

Here, I show the percentage of spam I received that goes to e-mail addresses that I have used.


Typically, many of the e-mails I get are to e-mail addresses that have been made up by computer programs run by spammers. The reason is that spammers get paid to send e-mails by the million, so it is easier to create bogus ones than find genuine ones.

You will notice in the graph, that this percentage was decreasing, but this process seems to have stopped and may have reversed.

Perhaps they have made up enough addresses.

One side effect of made-up e-mail addresses, is that many companies bounce e-mails that don't exist, so this creates more unwanted e-mails which generally go to another legitimate organisation, whose e-mail address has been spoofed to send the original e-mail.

So one spam message causes a chain of unwanted messages.

Percentage Weekly Banking Spam

We all get quite a few e-mails that are trying to obtain your bank account details.

This graph shows the percentage of this type of e-mail that I get to legitimate e-mail addresses.


These tend to go up and down a bit and they are not as high a percentage as they used to be a couple of years ago. Most these days seem to be for NatWest, who I would never bank with, in case I was fooled.

You do wonder though how much fraud they create?

I think that the banks may make the situation worse, by generally paying out if there has been an on-line fraud. They should only pay out if the police take a formal statement and put all of those defrauded in a database.

Why should I say that?

In on-line gambling, there is quite a bit of poker room fraud, where two people working together use a stolen credit card to upload money, lose it from one individual to another and then withdraw it.

Are crooks doing that with on-line banking?

One puts a fair bit of money into an on-line account and generates a proper persona with the bank. Then his Internet friend in Ruritania withdraws it all, whilst his friend is on holiday or better still in hospital.

I suspect the bank would refund the cash.

If these e-mails didn't exist, then there would be much less chance of illegal withdrawals.

Percentage Weekly Drugs Spam

This type of spam makes up the majority that I receive.


As you can see the level of this type of spam varies between about forty and sixty percent of all of the spam e-mails I receive. It has perhaps risen slightly over the sixth months I have been doing this detailed analysis.

Contrary to popular opinion it is not all about Viagra. But perhaps seventy percent is about this type of lifestyle drugs, whilst the remainder is general drugs aimed almost exclusively at the American market. Many of the sites that do this type of promotion are based in Canada and are there because drug prices in that country are lower than the USA.

So again, it is the USA that must get its act in order to cut the level of this type of spam. But then the US Government must act against the drug companies, who benefit on the one hand from high prices and on the other from the sales in Canada.

Everybody, who has tried to reform the greedy American healthcare system has failed, so I doubt that we'll see any reduction of this type of spam.

Depressing isn't it?

Percentage Weekly Fraud Spam

This type of spam is one where crooks are trying to entice you to part with your money for various fee fraud or 419 scams. (419 scams are named after that part of the Nigerian penal code. Enough said!)


What seems to be happening here, is that the fee fraud ones, where you collect cheques for companies and then pass the money to a third party after deducting a percentage are declining.

Perhaps people are getting more sensible and just laugh at them. I hope so.

There is also the fact, that they are annoying legitimate companies, who are involving law enforcement agencies and hopefully there has been a degree of collar feeling.

But the 419s keep coming! I didn't realise that there was so much money unclaimed in bank accounts!

Percentage Weekly Gambling Spam

Here the spammers are promoting gaming sites. They are a complete waste of time as far as I'm concerned, as I only deal with reputable sites like Betfair.


There seems in the chart to have been a big push at the start of December. Could this be because the US government had stopped access to what I would consider are legal gambling and poker sites based in reputable jurisdictions?

So protectionist legislation and tactics brought in by the US moves the punters into the hands of crooks.

Percentage Weekly Loans Spam

This type of spam is where the spammers are promoting loans to people who have desperate credit problems. Did I hear sub-prime loans?


Note how they went quiet with all of the problems of the sub-prime market and now that finance has dried up for the people who took these loans, the loan spam has started again.

I would have thought the best way to get your house reposessed would be to take out a loan promoted by a spammer.

Percentage Weekly Pornography Spam

Pornography and especially child pornography, is quoted by many as the reason the Internet should be banned.


Note that the level rose around mid-October, but typically it is of the order of a few percent. None of these contain an image larger than about a 100 x 100 pixels and the number that are promoting child pornography is extremely small. (I have had about ten or so in the period of this analysis. None had images, so I just reported them to the Internet Watch Foundation and then erased them.)

Percentage Weekly Pump and Dump Spam

Pump and dump scams are those where you are encouraged to buy worthless shares, so that others can make a killing.


In this graph they show a fairly steep decline from about ten or twelve percent to virtually nothing.

Why?

Because the SEC in the USA has a very strong policy of suspending shares mentioned in these scams.

In other words, action can work.

So why is the US not taking action in other areas to stop spam?

Percentage Weekly Replicas Spam

This group includes replicas of expensive watches and other luxury goods.


The graph shows that this spam increased in the run up to Christmas and the New Year and has now started to fall back.

That illustrates to me, that spammers are not mindless, but target their rubbish to where the weak may break and buy their crap.

Percentage Weekly Virus Spam

This group is composed of messages that try to get you to download viruses. The messages are characterised by IP addresses and teasing messages.


The graph may or may show that this type of spam is declining, as it does tend to turn up in bursts.

But whenever you get it, never download it.

Percentage Weekly Others Spam

This group contains everything else.


Note how it has declined.

Could this be because spammers are concentrating on spams that work?

An interesting point is that a sub-group of spams that are unreadable as they are in Russian, Japanese or other non-Roman languages appears to have declined.

Conclusions

There are some main conclusions that can be made :-

1. About 60% of spam is drug-related.

2. A large proportion of spam is aimed at customers in the USA.

3. When action is taken at a government level, as the SEC has done in the case of Pump and Dump scams, the spam can be seriously reduced.

4. Spammers change their pattern of spamming according to circumstances.

But above all, it is about time that the US got its act together on spam and acted against US companies involved in the process.

Bill & Exchange Manager
African Development Bank (ADB)
Burkina Faso, West Arica.

Dear,

It is my upmost regards to write you this mail, in due respect, I am Mr Ahmed Boro, the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of AFICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. I am writing, following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who WORKS with the BURKINA CHAMBERS firm.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $6.5Million dollars (six million five hundred thousand US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died on November 2003.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we 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 I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the bank will release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

All I need is up most trust in this transaction in as much as no rising of betrayal after the fund has been transferred into your account. You have to send me a contact address in as much as your contact number, your country if possible a copy of your photograph and also, your accounting information.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses occurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my family.

There after I and my family will visit your country for disbursement of the fund according to the percentage indicated.

The banking law and guiding here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after six years the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund, the request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

Now to enable the immediate transfer of the fund, we will follow the normal banking procedure by you applying first in the bank and do not bother of what comes up next because it has already been taken care of by me having all informations needed for this account to enable the money to be transfered without suspicion from the bank or anywhere in as much as we do this deal confidentialy.

I advice you fill the blank spaces below for more confidentiality.

Name in Full......................................................................
Occupation........................................................................
Marital Status....................................................................
Phone Number...................................................................
Fax Number.......................................................................
Age...................................................................................

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 so you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required information of the deceased indicate has been made for the transfer.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

Yours faithful
Bill & Exchange Manager.

AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
CONTINENTAL BANK,
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
E-mail contact: drhitohsman0077@yahoo.fr
14/01/2008.

Dear Friend,

Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am Dr.Hitohs Man. the director incharge of auditing and accounting Unit of Continental Bank in Cotonou-Benin Republic. I and my colleagues deem it fit to contact you regarding to a transaction that will favour both of us at the end, and i got your contact in my search for a reputable and reliable person to help me claim the fund in question.

We discovered the sum of 10,000,000.00 (Ten Million US Dollars Sterling) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank. The fund has been lying in a suspence account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account owner late Deceased Customer, who was involved in the December 25th Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash website=

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html

The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of the bank.
Seems you have the same surename with this deceased customer you can easily make this deal with us,we will assist you to get the information of the deceased customer that will assist you to get every proof document which will help you to execute this money.

The foriegn account owner will impost himself as the next of kin to the deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed up the release and transfer of his inherited fund. If the over due fund if not claimed by the end of next quarter, the government of the Federal Republic of Benin will take over the ownership of the fund in line with the Federal Edict Act of 1979.

We do not want the government to take over the ownership of this money, that is why I contacted you for us to do the deal together, so that we will portray you as the bonafide next of kin to the Deceased Customer .If you accept to carry out this project with us, we will offer you 40% of the total sum, while I and my colleagues involved will take 60% of the total sum.Upon your acceptance to do this deal with us, we will jointly effect the transfer within seven working days.

Be rest assured that, this transaction carries no risk and no extra responssibilities on your part, except the above mentioned roles and normally you will be required to maintain absolute information and absolute secrecy throughout the duration of this transaction, because discussing it with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.

I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project as this will greatly enrich the both of us at the end. You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter for onward procedure,through my alternative email box (drhitohsman0077@yahoo.fr ).

Best Regard

One out of five.

Hello,

My name is Mrs Aisha Ahmed,from Dubai,United Arab Emirates.
Am 58years old,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than 2 months according to my doctors.
This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.
My late husband died early last year from heart attack, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited all his business and wealth.The doctor has advised me that I will not live for more than 2 months, so I have now decided to spread all my wealth, to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
Before my late husband died he was a major oil tycoon, in dubai and deposited the sum of 20 million dollars (Twenty million dollars) in a security company in europe some years ago,thats all i have left now,i need you to collect this funds and distribute it yourself to charity.
so that when i die my soul can rest in peace.
the funds will be entirely in hands and management.
I pray God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives,that is my main concern.
20% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 80% goes to charity.

Unsubscribing From Web Sites

 

As you may or may not know, my wife, Celia, died in December. She was always signing up for various newsletters from reputable companies and over the last few weeks, I've been trying to unsubscribe from them.

With most companies there are two simple methods :-

1. You click a link in the e-mail and this takes you to an unsubscribe page where you type in the e-mail address and then click unsubscribe. This works well.

2. The second and better method is where the e-mail address is built into the link that is clicked. This works even better.

One of the problems, is that I can't send e-mails from her e-mail address and I've just diverted her e-mails to mine. So some companies, like Tesco, want an e-mail sent from the e-mail address to be unsubscribed.

I can't do that. (Well I could, but I'm playing the bereaved person here, who knows little of the Internet.) So in Tesco's case, to cancel her messages, it took me a couple of e-mails.

So their system, which is probably designed to make it difficult to unsubscribe, actually costs them money, as it is not a fully automated system, that can be used by the person who received the e-mails.

Other companies require a login to unsubscribe. As Celia never wrote her passwords down, I can't do that. So those companies that continue to send me unwanted e-mails are now on my never-buy-from list.

So when you design an unsubscribe system, do it properly.

Bolotocard

 

I am getting a lot of spam e-mails promoting something called a Bolotocard. I won't give the link here as I don't do that for products that are advertised in this way.

They come from an organisation called CIP-A Marketing at 1276 North Main St, Miami, FL 33132.

I have tried to unsubscribe using the link at the bottom, but I just seem to get more of the spam.

Testing Your Internet Speed

 

Sometimes you want to find out the performance of your broadband or Internet speed.

There is a simple web site called SpeedTest.net, that tests both your download and upload speeds.

Go to this web site and you get a map of the world showing a whole raft of servers with which you can check your speed. The best for you is marked as a yellow pyramid.


The web site then does a download and upload test and then displays the results as a web page.


Note that this site also has good links to help you to choose a better ISP, if yours is rather slow.

Note too, that I have used the Daisy Presentation Browser to create the images for this post. This program allows you to set the dialog to any size you require, so that in this topic for display I have chosen 1024 x 768. You can also remove all of the tool, status and address bars to get a cleaner web page.

I have no problem with the banking system or PayPal when I want to get money from obscure places. But then I'm dealing with real and honest people.

Incidentally 33 St. James's Square is a set of very respectable set of serviced offices, so in this case the address is genuine, even if Advanced Management Associates isn't.

Rebecca Ohini

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

Hello my dear,

Nice to meet you, I am Mrs.Rebecca Ohini from the Republic of Ghana, I got attracted after glancing through your short profile, I deemed it necessary to disclose this important issue to you.

I lost my husband in an air crash 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) and before his death, he had an account with a bank here in Ghana , where he made a deposit of US$7.5 Millions Dollars. This money was for the purchase of cocoa procession machines, unfortunately he did not meet his target before his untimely death.
Why I contacted you, due to the agreement he had with the bank during deposit, I have been denied total access to the money, the bank Manager told me precisely that the money was deposited in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it for onward transfer into a foreign account.

That the bank will follow the agreement written and signed by both (the bank and my husband). I was advised to look for a foreign account where the money can be transferred before I can have access to it. Since my security here cannot be guaranteed besides, I have lost my husband, I hereby ask you to do me a favor by standing as my late husband’s foreign business partner and the beneficiary of the money to enable the bank effect the transfer into your account.

I have plans to invest this money in continuation with the investment vision of my late husband, but not in this place again rather in your country. I have the vision of going into real estate and industrial production, please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Ken, indicate your interest in replying soonest.

The bank has given me requirements I should forward to
them:

1. Your full name, contact postal addresses 2. Your telephone and fax numbers.
3. Occupation.

If you agree on this, I'll give you 15% of the total share when transferred, then 5% will be given to you if you made any expense on the cause of the transfer.
Waiting to hearing from you, please once I hear from you I'll send you the deposit certificate the bank gave to my late husband.

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation, Yours

ATTN:
DEAREST ONE.

I am the above named person from China. I am married to Mr Lu Fung. who worked with China embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died on septembre 11/2006. 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(Four Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ) in a long-term deposit account with a Bank. here in Abidjan,the capital city of Ivory Coast.

Presently, I'm in a hospital here in Abidjan where I have been undergoing treatment for
oesophagi 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 the charity
organization. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of My late husband 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 distributes it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 5% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you are willing to help, then confirm to the following information of yours below for further proceedings:

(1) Your Full Name;___________________________
(2) Your Full Home address.____________________
(3) Your telephone and fax numbers " For effective communication"______________

Hello,
I am Mr. Peter Wong, one of Hang Seng Bank Ltd board of directors here in Hong Kong. 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 contacted you independently of our investigation 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. I know you would be wondering why I am writing you with a request such as this but I only urge you to read on.
I decided to contact you through email due to the urgency, anyway I need your co-operation in receiving US$10.5Million that has been in a dormant account with my bank since 1997 under inheritance claim. 30% of the total sums will be accrued to you upon the confirmation of the funds in your nominated account. Although it may seem small, but you have to understand and accept this since 40% of the total sum will go to charity, as my entitlement here is also 30%.
I need your co-operation here because the account holder an Iraqi Chieftain and businessman died at the war and I being his account officer, I have tried to reach any of the next trustees, but to no avail and since I am not in position to make the claim, I can establish you before the bank as the heir to the bequest. It is very important that the claim is made, as the bank will turn the funds over to the treasury anytime from now if it remains unclaimed.
I will provide you with detailed information on the modalities of this operation once I have your interest but I must say that trustflourishes business. Therefore let your conscience towards this proposal benurtured with sincerity.
I will prefer you to reach me at my private email address
(deaconpeters@web2mail.com) and I shall provide you with further detailsof this operation.

It has defiled all forms of medication, and right now am on admission in the hospital that will take few months according to medical director.
Though my company have arranged to send my assistant for the mission to purchase the products on behalf of my company which i normally bought in Malaysia. For the fact that i do buy the product ( EXCANDINE MULTI- CLEANSER GEM XGH) at the rate of ($2,500 u.s dollars) per a carton of six bottles and re-sold to my company at rate of ($4,200 u.s dollars)

All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.

Steve Morris

 

You have to laugh at this one. £36,759,000 pounds. Pull the other one. But the e-mail has that giveaway word in it - God.

Fraud.

One out of five.

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.Steve Morris, 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.Steve Morris.
