Letter Fraud (snail mail and e-mail)

[pecan]

I get one or two fraud emails every few months. 

These scams were once known as "Nigeria Letter Fraud", then became known as "West Africa Letter Fraud".  Based on the last two I  received, it looks like it is spreading to the South Africa and Hong Kong

So I decided to post them hear as a public service announcement to expose these senders.  Plus they funny too.

Why don't you post the ones that you get that way we can compare where they come from and under whose name?


Better yet, why don't you contact them and play them as long as possible?? ..

Dear friend,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Jun Huan of HSH Nordbank AG,
Hong Kong. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.

In November, 1999, Ahmad Fahmi an Indonesian, a contractor with the Iraqi
Government and also a businessman, made a Time investment of (US$24.5M)
Twenty-Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only in
my branch (HSH Nordbank AG) under secured growth funds for (60) sixty
calendar months. This investment has matured and has been lying in our
Bank reserve for the past two years. Under the Hong Kong Banking laws, any
time investment unclaimed after three years will be turned over to the
Hong Kong Government purse. Upon maturity several notices were sent to
him. Another notification was sent last year and still no response came
from him.
 Early This year, it was later discovered that the Ahmad Fahmi and his
family were killed in a convoy attack in Musol, Iraq on 22nd of August
2004. We are going adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare
all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue.

All which is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with
your Full names,
Address, direct telephone and fax numbers so that the Attorney can
commence his job. Reply strictly if you are interested with the requested
information via my personal email or fax line +852 301 653 29 to enable
the Attorney commences his job immediately.

My Dear,
This is to thank you for your effort. I understand that your hands were tied due to one reason or the other. Not to worry. I have succeeded; the money has been transferred into the account provided by a newly found friend of mine in Australia.

I want to compensate you for your past assistance and commitments, I have dropped an International Certified Bank Draft of $1,200.000.00 for you. I am in London with my family presently. I do intend to establish some business here, and possibly buy some properties and I will still want to invest in your country too.

I am compensating you because I received a call from my pastor who was praying for me during the transaction, he said I should compensate you for your past effort. Contact my account officer with Continental Bank Plc, Mr. MOKWE OZO on (larry_mokwe@live.com) forward my mail to him, then ask him to send the bank draft to you. Take good care of your self.

Regards,
Mike Chi

Good Day,
 
I am Mr. John Mushiringa of one of the prime bank in Abidjan, Ivory Coast; I am asking for your co-operation to present you to my bank as a beneficiary to my deceased client, before his death, he has a bank balance with my bank of about ($17.4 M.), He is late Mr. Morris Thompson, a businessman based here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
 
He died on 16 September 2007 in air crash along with his wife in Phuket International Airport, southern Thailand with Flight 269 with other passengers on board.
 
No other person knows about this account. The Strategy is to use our influence as staff of the bank to approve the fund to you as the next of kin to the deceased. And for your assistance in this deal, you will get 25% of the total funds, while the rest will be for me and my colleague.
 
So if you’re interested forward your full names, age, address and phone numbers, this will enable me to contact you for further more information on how to proceed. If you decide not to assist, just delete the message. Please don’t divulge it to anyone.

Good Day
I am Mr. Patrick Chan, Executive Director and C.F.O of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.

Gen Khalid Ali Abdullah who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of USD$24.5 Million only in my branch. Several maturities notices was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003. also after the war another notification was sent and no response came from him. We later found out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

After more inquiry it was also discovered that this General did not declare any next of kin in his official papers.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. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

I want you to know that I have everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.

Should you be interested send me the following;Full names, private phone number, current residential address and I prefer you reach me on my private email address below after which I shall provide you with more details on this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Patrick Chan.

LOL ALYUH MEN BEING STALKED LOL  , I get one in the mail a few years back

[Mr Fix-it]

 I am Nick Osler,Director of Investment management, SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Banking. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and the investment he placed under our bank management three years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the content of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.I am making this contact with you based for a need of an individual/company who is willing to assist me to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client.
 
Being the deceased financial consultant before his untimely and sudden death and since i am the only one who has the knowledge of the vaulting company in Europe where these funds ($30million) was moved to and can move this deal forward to it's successful end once we conclude to work together.It is a task well worth undertaking.According to practice, the vaulting firm will by the end of this financial quarter broadcast a request for statements of claim, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Bank.
 
What I propose now is that if you are the relative to my client please let me know. I alone have the deposit details and the vaulting firm will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Bank is concerned, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The vaulting firm has no single idea of what is the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation.
 
My proposal is that; you share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the vaulting firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you.Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit.
 
I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is for you to betray my confidence.Hope to hear from you soon if you are interested.

Nick Osler

Dear Friend,


Good day and Compliments,

I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this.

I am a female student from University of Burkina faso, Ouagadougou. I am 25 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.

Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my father's wealth. He left the sum of USD 4, 350, 000.00 dollars (Four Million,Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars)in a security company.

This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction.

I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the security company to your bank account,

 That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you
will strongly have absolute control over.

If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me by repied this massage.

Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my school identification card as soon as I hear from you.

Yours sincerely,
Princess Bintu

FROM THE DESK OF DR JOHN.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.

Dear Friend,

I am the AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$25m dollars (TWENTY FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.

                      FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT THIS SITE BELLOW
                      http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

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 guidlings and laws but unfortunately we 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 and 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 we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after 8 years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 55% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation 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 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.You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.This transaction is 100% risk free so you don't have anything to fear. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Through my email i.d: dr_johnw2008@yahoo.de

Yours Faithfully,
Dr John.

Dear One,

My name is Billy&Maria Biros are the children of Late General Alexandral Biros the former Director of military inteligence and special acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation( SLDMC ).I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest USD 18.5 million belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid minirals and dimonds sale which were under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out.

Following the break out of the war, almost all government offices,coperations and parastatals were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel military forces who attacked my fathers office.

Many top government officials and senior army officers were assasinated and my father was a key target because of his very sensitive military possition and appointment in the SLDMC.Regreatably, my father was captured and murdered along with half brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence in freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel leader.

My mother sustainded 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 care for us at our tender ages. Before our mother died, she told us that our father deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and that we should pray and find a trustworthy foreign business partner who would help us to transfer and invest this money in profitable business venture overseas. She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast with our cousin brother- Arthur who is here in the camp with us and,then settle down abroad. She gave us the the bank document to prove the deposit and then told us that my father used my name as the only son to deposit the money in the bank.She told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace.

I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the Manager of International remittance who assured me that everything is intact and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account as soon as I provide my partners foreign bank account for them. However, the manager is very concerned because of my age. If you are willing to assist us, please let us know immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the bank.

Please note that I can only offer you 20% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers advise. I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you would also get a school for me, my little sister and cousin so that we can finish our college education.

Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account because of the political crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can not look for another foreign partner and also call immediately you recived this mail.

Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
