Gabriel William

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

Dear Friend,

I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things unfold,we will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to you. My name is Gabriel William a solicitor at law.

I am writing in respect of a foreigner Mr. David Frenchman, who happens to be my client an oil merchant and contractor who perished in a plane crash of [EGYPTIAN CHARTER] with other passengers aboard on Red Sea early on January 3 2004,shortly after taking off from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all the 135 passengers and 13 crew members aboard asyou confirm it on the website below:

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200401/04/eng20040104_131791.shtml

Since the demise of my client I personally have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$36.5m (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar) the bank has no record of any next of kin.On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as his next of kin so I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most especially, the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the huge deposits werelodged.

Particularly, the BANK OF INDUSTRY LTD, where the deceased had an account valued at about Usd36.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated.

I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased,I need somebody who is trustworthy and willing to assist me get the funds transfered. Whcih the account which my late client operate is valued at Usd36.5 million dollars can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin, and then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage.

All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and you should endeavor to keep it confidential.

Hondo Sekayi

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

Dear Beloved,
I do recognize the surprise this urgent and highly confidential letter will bring to you most especially as it comes from a stranger. I got your contact and credibility from the Dakar Chamber of Commerce and industry.
My late father proffesor, Anesu Sekayi. was a prominent Zimbabwean Politician and a successful farmer. He was an associate and close friend of the current president of Zimbabwe Mr ROBERT MUGABE.He however fail out of favour with the president and became a founding member of the opposition party Movement For Democratic Change (M.D.C) that are challenging the President's Land Reform Programme initiated by the Government aimed at forcefully taking the WHITE OWNED FARMS by force and given to the black inexperience farmers which resulted in widespread anarchy and senseless killings.
However my late father was wrongfully accused by the ruling party of inciting public revolt and crime against the state and was secretly murdered by the AGENTS of the State and our ASSETS CONFISCATED. But before his death, my late father has deposited large sum of money with asecurity and finance company in Senegal as a Consignment. The fund $5.5m (five million five hundred thousand united states dollars as a FAMILY ASSETS.THE money was meant for the purchase of farming equipment and tractors in Zimbabwe, and purchase of new lands in neighbouring Town and Villages for our farming projects.
Since my father's death, my family have become the state targets and we have been constantly been abused and tortured by the government thus our flight to Senegal where we are currently staying as refugees. Our Refugee status has however prohibited us from engaging in financial transaction and could not withdraw our fund from the security company.
Therefore, my mother and I, have thus reached an agreement to seek for a trustworthy person who can assist in claiming the consignment of funds, transfer the fund into his/her personal or company account, when a power of attorney his given in his/her name. If you are willing to assist us, let us know without skeptism, and all modalities to achieve this will be discussed in details.

Best regards
Dr HONDO SEKAYI.
For the family.

Fraud.

Nought out of five as so badly written.

Dear Sir


My name is Koffi Adams from Sierra-Leone but I am presently a

refugee staying in Ghana. I am writing to solicit your assistance in

the transfer of $12,000.000.00 million U.S dollars which my late

father deposited in a secret deposit with my name as the next of

kin.
This amount of money was deposited by my late father who was a

diamond dealer in the Sierra-Leone before he was killed with my

mother by the the Revolutionary United Front ( RUF) rebels.Before

the death of my father, he told me about this private and secret

deposit he made with a security and finance company.


Presently I am in Ghana where I sought asylum and I have contacted

the security and finance company to confirm the existence of the

deposit, after having confirmed that, I contacted with my lawyer who

advised me that I must seek for a foreign beneficiary who will

assist me to claim the consignment because I cannot claim it because

I have a refugee status at the moment and the fiscal policy of Ghana

forbid a refugee to own over $150 and as such if I proceed with my

request to claim the money, that it will be seized by the

government.,so I have been advised by my lawyer that I should find a

foreign partner abroad and then transfer the next of kin to him or

her and after having legally transferred the next of Kin ,then the

Security and Finance company will be requested to transfer the

money to my partner in his or her country and after that my partner

can help me to travel to his or her country.
My purpose of contacting you is to appoint you as my next of kin so

that we will make a legalized change of next of kin and instruct the

security company to transfer the money to you in your country. I

agree to give you 30% of the total money for your role. If you

accept my proposal, please reply with the following information:

Western Union Pro Hacker

 

I just had this e-mail advertising a piece of software called Western Union Pro Hacker. Coupled with the fact that Western Union appears to be the transfer method of choice for money launderers and fraudsters, I think they are probably a company that I would not use as first choice to transfer money, especially as my bank can do it for me for a small fee.

Western Union is the worlds largest money transfer protocol. Hacking Western Union is not so easy. Now we WUBUG Developers had provide the solution to hack Western Union. The solution is very simple and easy and the solution is use Western Union Pro Hacker. Now you can hack Western Union Offices (agents) and make transfer without any problem. It is very much user friendly and easy to use. Western Union Pro Hacker has many features including tracking generating and resolving MTCNs within Minutes.

I would suspect that it might be some trick to pollute my computer with some nasty software. But I'm not going to tempt fate.

I would suggest searching the Internet, before you ever try software like this. Especially, as using it is probably illegal. Or at least Western Union would take a dim view if you used it. Well! I hope they would.

I have an inheritance which was left for me by late father but the bank said they were instructed by my late father during depositing of the money,that it is only his business partner that is authorised to withdraw the money because of my age when he made the agreement with the bank but now my father is late and was killed by this his partner who was suppose to withdraw the money and give to me according to mylate father's instruction and because of this, I am afraid and of contacting the man or letting him know I want to withdraw the money and I will never let him know about the money or call him.

Don't be Afraid of Voip

 

I made a daliance into Voip some months ago and it all went a bit pear shaped.

But I do spend a lot of money on phone calls and Voip does look to be a sensible way to cut those costs.

1. I used to have three BT lines into the house and these cost about £120 each. But since Celia died, I don't really have a need for Fax now, so that line went to save money. I could probably get rid of one of those lines in the future, but at the moment I need both, as broadband round here is so slow and the two lines give me about 2Mb, which has to sustain not only myself but Lyndsey in the Stud.

2. Calls on Voip are much cheaper. For instance, typically you will pay about a pence a minute for calls to places like the USA and Germany and about half BT's rates for those to mobiles.

So I have installed four Voip 'lines' into the stud. These cost £2.99 each and act just like normal phone lines. I've also chosen numbers slightly out of area in Newmarket, as this is so much better for a stud than Haverhill.

So what advantages do I get?

1. Obviously, there is a cost saving. I have cut one line and calls look to be about half what I was paying before.

2. I used to divert my main number 01440-783789 to my mobile, but now I've diverted it permanently to my main Voip number 01638-778586. I do pay a bit for the diversion, but a lot less than I did.

3. When I get a messaage to the Voicemail, I have arranged Outlook to send a text message to my phone. And of course I can access my Voicemail from any phone in the world.

4. All Voicemail is delivered as files that I can play in my Windows Media Player. This means that if you are in a business, where sometimes you need to keep these files for legal purposes, you've already got them.

5. Celia was a family barrister and a lot of her clients were abused over the phone by ex-partners. Go to Voip and everything is there for the Courts.

And what happens if the Internet goes down?

1. I still have my standard BT line, which is permanently diverted to the Voip number. If you have a power or Internet failure, all of your calls will still get recorded on the Voicemail system for later recovery.

2. You can still dial out on the BT number and of course cancel the diversion.

Not the greatest of inconveniences and probably much less than losing power or broadband.

So try it and remember that if you spend a lot of money on lines, calls to mobiles or abroard, you will get a quick saving.

Money Transfer Frauds

 

Another one turned up yesterday and it always puzzles me that the authorities don't take action more. After all, they are all the same format and I know that they use the same e-mail lists.

If they cracked down on these more, wouldn't it make it more difficult for people to move their drug profits about.

Or am I being naive?

Fraud.

One out of five.

Dear Sir

I am Mr.Michael Langmann, Chief Accountant of a branch and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of WUESTENROT GERMANY. Wuestenrot Bank is solely an investment bank.

With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a Business Transaction that will bevery beneficial to both of us and also create room for future business relationships.

During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, I came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mr. Morris Thompson 61 years (at time of death), of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st 2000 aboard the crashed Alaska Airlines Flight 261,

Cnn news still has the news on the web, You can as well confirm this by clicking the link below:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/

As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim whatsoever either from his family or relations.
We started making inquiries and on the course of the enquries, we learnt of the tragedy.
He did not indicate any next of kin to his account incase of missfortune or death.

At this point, i have to caution that these informations are and must be kept secret. Strictly Confidential.
To enable the whole plan be profitable,successful and secure, we have to seal our lips.
Long-term security is a guarantee if you don`t pass this informations to third party.

We are talking about a huge sum here, 45.9M Euros (Forty five Million, Nine Hundred thousand Euros).

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Germany, though I did not disclose the details to him.

As the Chief Accountant in this branch, I have perfected all modalities.
The plan is to have your name mentioned in the documents of this investment, giving you access to the said account and after the trasaction is complete, we shall delete all records, just like nothing ever happened.

I do hereby assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free, We do guarantee you this if you in turn guarantee us that this information is to be kept top secret.

For your assistance you will be entitled to 15% of the total sum as gratification, while 85% will be for me and my colleagues.

Sir,you practically do almost nothing, all you do is to sign some documents and have us make transfers to your bank accounts.


I shall send you more informations as soon as i recieve your feedback.

Do reply this by sending a your Name, Address, Email address,
