Internet Email Scam's


Do to the large number of scam emails I receive I have placed all the ones I have not had the time respond to at this point but, I felt it necessary to put them up so that you could see them for what they are "SCAMS". I may respond to some of them at some point since they don't care how long it takes to respond. All they care about is trying to steal your money. The only reason they would not respond is if their email address has been canceled.

At first glance they stands out as a scam, but I do searches on them anyway.

Greetings,

I am making this contact to you on the fact that we may be of assistance to each other in developing a long lasting cordial business relationship, if you put your trust in God that this will work out forthe benefit of my own family and yours. I was moved by my personal inspiration to entrust on your sincerity to handle a business relationship that involves huge money on trust. I was constrained by the sudden death of my husband, the former Minister of Power andsteel and currently before his death, the Minister for Justice of my country, whom was assassinated by an unknown men.

I am Mrs. Grace Bola Ige, the second wife of the late Mr. Bola Ige who died on December 23rd 2001. With heart full of grief, I regret to inform you of the inhumane and harsh conditions which my husband's first wife and the brother's have subjected my two daughters and me. Since my husband's death,the relatives have been wicked to us because of the following reasons:

1. I am not from the same tribe with them.

2 My refusal to learn and speak their tribal language and dress like other women from their tribe.

3. My refusal to accept their religion

4. Because I was specially loved and favored I am absolutely tired of all these threats from my husband relatives since the death of my husband.

I am no longer in their Family house. am now in my husband's guesthouse, with my children, I seriously need your kind assistance and co-operations. Few weeks before my husband's death, he entrusted some security documents that cover a deposit he made to a financial house to the tune of 14 million Pounds Sterlings to my care for safe keeping in my apartment.

After his death I acted fast and required to gather information about the consignment. I was made to know that it was deposited as family treasure of a foreigner/associate to be delivered on request. This fund was deposited for safe keeping with a Private financial house.

Now I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who can come down to clear the funds in his/her name as the sole beneficiary of the Deposit. This is so because of my status here as a widow of a political juggernaut. Now I solicit your assistance to accept this sum for self-keeping. This I cannot lodge into a bank account here in my name to avoid suspicion from the Government, my husband's brother's and wife since they have Confiscated all that is left by my husband and still places eyes on me if they could lay hands on more including cash as they have left me and my children without any cash. If you can accept this, I urge you to contact us immediately for us to brief you on arrangement on how we can possibly handle this.

This is why I honestly contacted you because investing this money abroad should be the best for my two children and me. I will be honored if I can be given the privilege of dealing with the investment proceeding with you. I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this distress call to save US from a hopeless future. And if you agree, I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort in this regard with 15% of the principal sum. While the remaining 85% will be invested meaningfully for our future if possible in your area of business and different sectors of the Economy in your country which are dividends yielding. Whatever your decision is please reach me immediately through my email.And keep this letter tight secret for the interest of my Family.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Mrs Grace
Bola Ige

FROM THE DESK OF MR. IBRAHIM WATA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.

Alternative e-mail:mr_ibrahim_wata04@yahoo.fr

Dear Sir/Madam

I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise but due to the urgency of this transaction.First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. There is no doubt that trust conceptually is a conundrum which leadsitself to deferring interpretation, we have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA(BOA). I came to know you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this Confidential Transaction, which involves thetransfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

I am writing to you, following the impressive information received about you from the chambers of commerce. I believed that you are capable and reliable to champion this business opportunity. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $14.5m US dollars (Fourteen million five hundred thusand US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family On August 23, 2000 through Gulf Air Flight 72 with Airbus A320 crashed off, killing all 143 people on board and you can view the site for more details:http://www-tech.mit.edu/V120/N32/gulfair.32w.html

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 somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines 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 and other officials in my department 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 guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five 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.

We agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues 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.

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

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,

MR. IBRAHIM WATA
Bill and exchange manager,
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)

Barrister Mohammed Yahaya
Okoye & Okoye Chambers
23 kofo Abayomi Avenue
Apapa, Lagos - Nigeria.

Dear,

I hope this e-mail wouldn't come to you as a surprise. Having gone through your profile, I am convinced and pleased to solicit your sincere and urgent assistance over this matter. I am Barrister Mohammed Yahaya, an Attorney to one late Mr. Smith J. a local contractor with the Lagos State Government of Nigeria.

My client Late was awarded a contract worth of Twenty-Five Million United States Dollars (25,000,000:00USD) by the Lagos state Government of Nigeria for the maintenance and construction of roads in the states in 1999 and the contract was fully executed by my late client. My client has been paid Fifteen Million United States Dollars from the contract and he was to receive the balance payment of the contract, but unfortunately he died with his entire family in the plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin Republic on the December 26,2003. You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this website:

Www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash

as he told me before he departed to Cotonou that he is going to spend Christmas holiday with his entire family in one of his closet Lebanese Friend at Cotonou before proceeding home. Never did he inform me that he would be going to Lebanon.

Sequel to the death of late client, there is every need to present a next of kin to Lagos State Government so that they can release the balance of his contract money. Already the CONTRACT PAYMENT OFFICE under the Lagos State Government has contacted me that the balance payment for the executed contract, which has been approved for payment, is ready for collection. I am therefore asked to present the beneficiary/next of kin for the claim of the money (draft) from their office.

At this juncture, I have decided to divert this Ten Million United States Dollars to a foreigner who will be presented to LSG, by soliciting the assistance of a reliable individual (A Foreigner) that will be presented as the beneficiary/next of kin of the fund. I will prepare all legal documents in your name as the successor /next of kin from our Federal High Court to back up the claim on your behalf which will enable Lagos State Government to release the money to me on your behalf as the known next of kin to my late client.

As soon as I hear your positive response, action will commence. Please bear in mind that there is no risk involved in this transaction, but it requires absolute sincerity and confidentiality due to the nature of the transaction.

I am willing to give you 40% of the fund as a reward for your assistance in this transaction and I have set aside 5% of the money to take care of any expenses that will be involved locally or internationally during the process of executing the business. I will want you to respond to my email via below email address if you find it difficult getting this one, with your private phone numbers, fax number cell phone #, your home/Company's Address I look forward to your swift response.

Regards,

Barrister Mohammed Yahaya.

Alternative E-mail ID: mohammedyahaya@ciaoweb.it or mohammedyahaya@e-mail.cz

Note: Having or bearing the same name with my client makes no difference but for someone to come from his country that answer same name either first or surname matters not. However, it will make this claim very easy as I am going to present and submit your name as the next of kin and with me the Attorney to the late man you have nothing to fear as I will be contacted by the Contract Payment Committee for confirmation which I will confirm you as the next of kin and the money will be paid to you. Mind you, I work at Okoye & Okoye Chambers.

Be informed that you have nothing to worry about with regards this fact, due to the fact that you see the inheritance law clearly leaves any proof of who is or is not the next of kin, to the deceased's lawyer to prove, as the lawyer of the deceased the law states that I have the final say on who is and is not the beneficiary of the deceased's estate and properties. And since you bear the same last name as my late client, all is well. I am in possession of vital information and legal documents needed to back you up for this ! claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement.

I await your urgent response to enable us start this transaction in earnest so we can proceed and also discuss the sharing ratio for the money between us and the procedures to make the claim. Be informed also that this account has been declared dormant by the said security firm from my investigations and as such you would have to apply to the security firm as the sole beneficiary to the funds for the claim of the money, after which the security firm would direct you on how to re-activate the account back to normal and then you would instruct the security firm on how you want your funds transferred to you.

Upon your response i will furnish you with the text of application letter you would send to the bank and the necessary information to back up the claim application. Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been set to pay whomever I present as the next of kin. This transaction will take only few working days to conclude as soon as you indicate your interest. For prompt action, please contact me urgently by mail at: ( FIDREXFIDELITY@AIM.COM)

Lastly, kindly have in mind that I would be sending forth my legal credential to you and I shall role out the modalities for the actualization of this project as soon as I receive your email response. Please, do accord this transaction the confidentiality it deserves.

Due regards to your family.

I hope this mail will be given the desire consideration.

Warmest regards,
Barrister Fidel. (LL.M, PH.D

Subject: LET ME HEAR FROM YOU
From: Mr Molly Hill mollyhill29@virgilio.it

To:

Attn,

#123CB/PBV,MAIN CITY, JO,BURG,
P.O. Box 1924,
Lenasia 1829
SOUTH AFRICA.

This is from the office of Operational manager [ Mr Molly Hill ]I humbly wish to seek your assistance in this matter that is very important and need trust and understanding.

[RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000.00..................

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this very important business, I got your contact in the internet 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. My name is Mr Mr Molly Hill, I work as the operational manager in account management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a Balance Of US$48,223,000.00 (Forty eight million two hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar).On further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has died long ago with his family on a fatal Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary to the account and no other person knows about this account.

I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who is my partner and he is willing to approve the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign bank account because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Australia in particular. I am certainly sure that he has no writen or oral WILL attached to the account , no beneficiary and nobody will come again for the claim of this money.

It is only a foreigner who can claim this money with legal claims to the account holder which I will provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. The difference in country of origins is not a hindrance to the success of this transaction. This money will remain useless in this dormant account if I did not transfer the fund out to a foreign account.

I will provide the necessary information and documents needed in order to claim this money. I only need your cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account information for the transfer. All arrangement that will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the account which you are to nominate is already in place.You should also provide me with your direct phone lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction.

At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be 25% of the total transfer sum, 70% for me and my partner while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties might incure during the process of the transfer. The fund will be transferred to your account in two parts. I will first transfer USD 20 Million to your account. I will fly over to meet you after the successful transfer for sharing according to the agreed percentages. I will have the remaining balance of USD28,223 Million transferred to your account only after the successful sharing of the first transfer without any disappointment from your side.

Have a nice day as I entrust this transfer into your hands.

Let me hear from you Urgently.

Best Regards,
Mr Molly Hill

From Mrs Sarra Ekuma

I am Mrs Sarra Ekuma the wife to Dr Ekuma Chris, the former Director Of gold and diamond of Sierra leone, who was assasinated by the rebel loyal to Foday Sankoh the (R U F) leader; I managed to escape my with the sum of (£22.5 MILLION) British pounds, concealed in a metallic trunk box belonging to my late husband,

This money I discovered in my husband's underground room while searching for our belonging in readiness to flee my country for safety. After his assasination my Husband's friend who operates a fishing trawler along the west africacoastal line assisted us in moving this box to Abidjan Cote d Ivoire where I am presently residing as a refugee with my son.

This money I deposited with a private security and trust company here under special arrangement as family treasure ; The security company does not know the real content of the box for security reson ; All the neccessary deposit documents issued to me are Available and can be sent to you on request.

So all am asking from you is to assist me by coming over to Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire, and help me to claim this money from the security company and into a domiciliary account in your name, here you will open with any of the international bank for onward transfer to your account in your country for a profitable business investment.

As a refugee here I cannot open an account with my name or my son name. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and God be with you.

Dearest one,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Miss Sandra Koffi,21years old and the only duather of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Edward Koffi. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in Abidjan, the economic 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.Febuary 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 7 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 12.500,000 US DOLLARS (twelve. five) MILLION USA DOLLARS)kept in a security company in ABIDJAN .

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 Box as his only duather for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, 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 from the security company and then transfering the fund insidethe box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose.

Now I need you as my overseas partner so that you will help me rescure this my inheritage,and also to have a directives sense of investment that will be good for the fund, and after the transaction i will like to come and live with you and i'm ready to do anything of your choice. 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 and i wished to investe under your care please.

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?

2. Can I completely trust you?

What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your custody while i go into education? Please Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.I am are willing to offert you 15% of the total money as compasation for your effort input after the successfull transfer of the box that countain the money to your country.

Please reply me on my alternative email( sandra2_koffi@yahoo.fr)

sincere regards,

Miss Sandra Koffi.

FROM THE DESK OF MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICAN
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICAN BURKINA FASO. I got your contact address through internet net work search when searching for a good and reliable person that will assist me in this transaction.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 22.85m US Dollars ( twenty two milllion eight hundred and Fifty thousand us dollars)in an account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer who died on 25th JULY 2002 IN SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT IN PARIS FRANCE along with his entire family.

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 somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines 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 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 i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

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.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for ME;

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.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through my Email box

Your's faithfully
MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED.

To:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a staff of Reserve Bank of south africa. I will give you other important information if I receive a positive reply from you.

I work in the operations dept where I serve as account officer to numerous customers. One of the customers whom I worked as his account officer was a wealthy Diamond Merchant from Sierra Leone. He lost his family in the war. He was lucky to escape alive and came to this country with his wealth intact. Unfortunately he died last year. Because this man was good to me when he was alive, I took it upon myself to his country last month while i was on my Annual Leave, to see if I could locate any of his close relations . On reaching there I discovered that his only surviving Uncle died a few months back from Bullet Wound Infections.

I sponsored this trip on my own and nobody in My bank knew I was undertaking the journey so I did not present any official report of my findings in Sierra Leone. Now there are two things I could do with regards to the dead mans money. First, as his accounts officer, I could formally notify the bank authorities that the man is dead and has no next of kin. In this case the money would be forfeited to the government after some time. As a matter of fact this is the proper thing I am supposed to do.

Another thing I can do is to arrange for someone else, a foreigner, to act as the next of kin to the late man so that he will claim the money. This is the option that I want to take to help anybody that accepts to assist me and myself since the money actually is public fund due to the fact that my friend was a close ally to the late brutal military president that looted government treasury and that is why I have chosen to do it.

I want you to be my partner. All you would have to do is act as the next of kin of the dead man and the whole money in the account will be transferred to your account. As the accounts officer to the late man, I have all the necessary documents that you will require to claim the money in the account.

The total money in the account is USD17 million.

We are going to share the fund on a mutual agreed percentage

Dear Sir,

I am very sorry to bother you with my plight. Please know that it's not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God.

After searching for someone I can lay my plight to, I’ve finally come with you after prayers to God. My name is Jennifer Okosun from Liberia. I am 19. My father and I escaped from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and two of my senior sisters in the war. They were raped and shot.

My father established his cocoa business in Kumasi, Ghana. He was in ACCRA, to negotiate for the purchase a field when he was involved in an auto crash. There is a big problem here and the people here hate foreigners. He was hospitalised before he finally gave up on the 24th of March .His death has now made me an orphan and I am exposed to danger.

As I write, foreigners are attacked on daily basis.

Before the unfortunate sudden death, my father called me to his side and told me he have a total sum of 8.45 million dollars deposited in a bank here in Accra.

He said he used me his only surviving child as his next of kin to the deposite and incase he fails to make it that I should take care of myself and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the papers with me here.

I have confirm from the bank all the papers he gave me on the deposit. I asked them to give me the money but they showed me the paper my dad signed with them that I must be 25 years old before they can hand over the money to me personally.

They said I should send them my birth certificate which I did and they told me that am still under the age my dad signed with them.

They told me that my dad made a provision that my guardian can manage the money on my behalf. Please this is where I need you pleased. I am suffering here without money and since he died, I have not gone to school again while there is money lying in there. I have tried to locate any of my family but all to no avail and this is why I have decided to get one for my self to assist me in getting the money out.

I will do all you want from me provided it’s within my reach and the will of God.

I trust you because I trust God never to lead me astray. Please help me.

I have just told them that my guardian will contact them because I don’t want them to take advantage of me that i have no guardian.

I want you to stand for me as my guardian and contact the bank. Tell them you are my guardian and because of the crisis here, you want me to be with you where you can better take care of me. Tell them to transfer the money to you immediately. Please help save my life please. I have no more money here and feeding is a big problem to me now. Please I trust you because I trust God. Again, As soon as the money has been transfered, to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence inorder for me to continue my education and to invest the fund in a viable business there.

This money can take care of me there without any problem and please I need you to manage the fund for me, as this is my last hope in life. I am ready to do anything you want provided you help me.

You can Have 20 percent of the money if you help me. If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail through my e-mail account: jennifer4study1987@yahoo.ca so that I can know you more.

Please send me your photo and your telephone number please.

God Bless you. Yours, Sincerely
Jennifer Okosun.

Tel: 00226.76444052)

I Am Dr.Nicholas Chile, the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit foreign remittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT 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 my investigation and auditing in the bank, In my department I came across a very huge sum of money belonging to our deceased customer, a foreigner who died in a plane crash incident, you can also confirm this in the website as follow: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

The fund has been dormant in his account with our bank without any claim of the fund, either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development. Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans of claiming the money and idea to be profitable and Successful during the time of execution, the amount involved is USD$20.000,000.(Twenty million us dollars.) Meanwhile the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the confide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward to you upon your acceptance, more information about the deceased and our bank particulars will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me, and also to 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 and bank as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and if I do, it 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, I will provide all the information the bank will need to approve the claim for a foreigner who will present foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be, bear in mind that the law of our bank says any body can be the next of kin to any account, no matter his colour or race.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free, On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 70% will be for me Please, you have been advised 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 to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages of 30%/70% as indicated and further investment, either in your country or any other country you may advice or help 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. Please call me as soon as you read this mail with my mobile phone number.

Tel: 00226.76444052)

Je suis le directeur du bureau de changes à la BAD-burkina. Je m'appelle Dr Nicholas Chile. Dans mon département, il a été découvert une importante somme d'argent qui appartenait à un de nos clients qui mourut lors d'un accident d'avion en juillet 2000 avec sa famille entière ne laissant personne pour réclamer cette fortune qui s'élève à $20 M USD (américains). Vous pouvez avoir plus d'informations de cet accident sur ce site Web:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Depuis lors, personne ne s'est présenté pour réclamer cette somme qui se trouve dans notre banque.Or,les règlements bancaires en Afrique stipulent que, si une telle somme reste sans revendication après une période de 7ans, ceci doit etre virée dans dans le compte de trésor bancaire. C'est afin d'éviter que ce fond profite au gouvernement burkinabè que mon collègue et moi avons décidé de chercher un partenaire étranger qui peu nous aider à faire transférer cette somme dans son compte bancaire. Ceci dit,vous devrez vous présenter au niveau de la banque comme héritier du défunt afin de devenir bénéficiaire de ce fond. Le choix d'un étranger pour jouer ce rôle révèle du fait qu'un burkinabé ne peut pas se présenter comme héritier(e)de notre défunt client Nous acceptons que vous aurez les 30% du partage, mon collègue et moi aurons les 70%. Une fois ce fond transféré, mon collègue et moi viendrons sur place chez vous en vue du partage, conformément aux

Pourcentages sus indiqués. Ainsi vous devez me donner toutes vos coordonnées, ce qui me permettra de mieux vous permettra et de vous envoyer le texte d'application(demande de transfert). Je vous rassure que ce business est à 100%sans risque et que vous ne devrez mettre en vous aucun atome de crainte. Veuillez croire cher monsieur, l'expresssion de mes considérations.

Hello my friend,

How are you doing? I am SALIM IBRAHIM a merchant in DUBAI,I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a fewmonths to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.I want God to be merciful to me and accept my souL. so,Ihave decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributedmoney to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria, India and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

I will want you to help me collect my last deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations which I deposited in security/finance house abroad,which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of (Twenty five Million,Five Hundred Thousand U.S dollars) I have set aside 25% for you, then 5% for any expenses insured.

If you are interested, please send your prompt reply to my email address below which you will have to reply to if you will be kind enough to assist;

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Yousuf Fahad, A Businessman in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is me Yousuf Fahad who is making this generous donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart

Yours truly,
Yousuf Fahad

FROM THE DESK OF JASON KANE
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
IMPERIAL BANK PLC
SOUTH-AFRICA.

Dear Friend,

I am Mr.Jason Kane,the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of IMPERIAL BANK PLC.I got your contact address through internet net work search when searching for a good and reliable person that will assist me in this transaction.

On June 6, 2001,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr.Williams Mitchell made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US15,500,000.00,(Fifteen Million, five hundred thousand Dollars).Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Williams Mitchell died from an automobile accident.On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a "WILL",and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Williams Mitchell did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US15,500,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to South African Law, at the expiration of 5 (five)years,the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin of the funds deposited in my bank.I am writing you because I as a public servant,i cannot operate a foreign account.I want to present you as the owner of the funds so you can make claims with the help of an Attorney. This is simple,i will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the beneficiary of the funds.The proceeds of this account valued at 15.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money,50% to me amounting to US7,750,000.00 dollars and 40% for you amounting to US6,200.000.00 and 10% amounting to US1,550,000.00 for miscellaneous expenses that might arise.I would want you to understand that this is a DEAL.

If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address and Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand the transaction.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.

Due to the nature of confidentiality in this Transaction our communication can only be via email and phone mostly.

Awaiting your urgent reply via email.

Thanks and my regards.
Mr.Jason Kane
Pls Respond To My Alt.Email:jasonkane@gawab.com

ä½ ç¾å¯é›»éƒµçµ¦æˆ‘: chen_guangyuan100@yahoo.com.hk

FROM: MR.CHEN GUANGYUAN

Bank of China (Hong Kong)

Eastern Commercial Centre,

393-407 Hennessy Road,

Wan Chai,

Hong Kong.


(chen_guangyuan06@yahoo.com.hk)


Good Day,


It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because you do not know me but I have a lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you.


Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Chen Guangyuan operations manager of the Bank of China (Hong Kong), Eastern Commercial Centre,Wan Chai Branch. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.


Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr. Hamadi Hashem who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 24 calendar months, with a value of Seventeen million three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$17,300,000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war early last year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Mr. Hamadi Hashem and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home at Mukaradeeb.


After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hamadi Hashem 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 three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration six {6} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.


Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hamadi Hashem so that you will beable to receive his funds.


MODALITIES:


I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Hamadi Hashem, all that is required from you is to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. We are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents in your favour.


There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is for 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. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank

account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you but this can be subjected to further negotiations. 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. Please observe this instruction religiously.


Should you be interested please send me your,


1, Full names,

2, Current residential address.


And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address

below:(chen_guangyuan06@yahoo.com.hk) and finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about this operation.


Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.


Kind Regards

Mr.Chen Guangyuan

NEED YOUR URGENT HELP.

From Ryan Winpoe. This mail may be a surprise to you because i have not meet with you, also you do not know me in person, but before I tell you about myself I will start by counting on you that you will handle this business with otmost maturity and confidentiality it deserves, and please forgive me for sending this mail without your permission.

I am RYAN WINPOE YORMIE, 24 years old and the daughter of the late DEPUTY MINISTER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA ( MR. JOHN WINPOE YORMIE) My father, was killed by some soldiers believed to be loyal to the then President CHARLES TAYLOR government because of my father's objection to some certain policies of his brutal regime and war crimes.

Shortly after the news of my fathers death came to us on sunday the 13TH OF JULY 2003, I rush into my father rooms, during the search for some documents in my father's room I came accross some vital documents and the key to a secret vault in the house.I took the key and went down to where the vault is and there I discovered (Two Metal Boxes) which were carefully hidden. With the aid of the documents I was able to open the box only to find out that the trunk were full of money in hundred dollar bills. I could not count the money because I was very shock to see it and again it is too much for me to count but the documents that I recovered in my father's room which led me to the box put the money at us45.000,000.00(Forty Five Million Dollars).

I locked it back carefully with my Mother and arranged for the boxes to be moved with the help of a (Diplomatic courier) to a security firm in the Netherlands for safe-keeping and onward Transfer. We did not declare the content of the box as money to the firm, We only declare it as family valuables and treasury.

At this moment I am living in the netherlands as a political Asylum seeker, the code of conduct bureau of offense in my country does not permit me and any member of my family to: (a) Operate an offshore account. (b) Own a foreign company. This is my primary aim of seeking your assistance to secure this money for me and my imidiate family.

I would have given you my telephone number so that you can call me in order to discuss the issue better, but I'm afraid to do so because I have too many people around me who I do not want them to know of the money but I thank God, that i have access to the (internet) I think it will be better to communicate by E-MAIL, untill we can make proper and solid arrangements about how to move the money.

I wish to meet with you if you can make a trip to The netherland, Never mind about your expenditure it will be taken care of though I may not be able to send some money to you right now but i promised, you will be compesated as soon as this business is finanlised and not only that,I am ready to offer 30% of the money to you for your assistance. It is not that I am paying you but as a sign of appreciation for every of your effort in this business.

Please I wish that this assistance be treated highly confidential, I will appreciate if you respond to my private email: rwinpoe1982@myway.com or ryanjohn12345@aim.com Thanks for your anticipated effort and God bless.

MR DAVID MARK
CREDIT AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA).

Dear Friend .

TOP SECRET

I am Mr David Mark ,the director in charge of credit and exchange section of Bank Of Africa,(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa with due respect and regard. 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 this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on Monday, 31 July, 2000, in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

The said amount was U.S $9.2M (Nine million two hundred United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through the Burkina-faso chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Ouagadougou Burkina-faso.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed 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(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign 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 foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 50% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.

I look forward to receive your email

Thanks My Regards.

Mr David Mark

I got to know of this fund when our family lawyer, approached me few months ago with some documents that my late husband had filed with him in the file, I realized that my late husband (blessed memory) has written "will" which he specifically pointed my attention and I quote.

My darling wife, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$11.500,000.00 (eleven million five hundred thousand nited state dollars) which I deposited with a security company in South Africa.

I made an agreement with the Security Company that my foreign partner will stand as a beneficiary to lay claim of the money. The beneficiary will come forward to make claim of the consignment. Dr. (chief) Samuel Onyem, my late husband advised me through my lawyer, that incase if he dies that I should look for a foreigner who will stand as the beneficiary of the fund so that the fund will be transfer to his or her account for partnership investment.

Dear Beloved Friend

I am Mrs. Marry John from Ghana, Presently staying in France. I am married to Mr. John Mike who works with Ghana embassy in Lome-Togo for ten years before he dead in the year 2003. We are married for ten years with out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only for days. Before his death we were both born again Christian.

Since he dead I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$9.8Million{Nine Million Eight Hundred thousand U.S Dollars} with one Security Company in Europe. Presently, this morning is still with the Security firm. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight month due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to keep this fund in Europe.

I want an organization or an individual who will use this fund for orphanages, 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 gift. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christian and I don't want my husbands effort to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation whereby 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 were I am going. I know that I am going to be in bosom of the lord. Exodus 14 VS14 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 relative around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I received your reply I shall inform the security firm in Europe that you are the beneficiary of the said fund. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for my husband and me because the lord is our shepherd. My happiness is that I lived of a worthy Christian.

Whoever that wants to serve the lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to receive your reply and remain blessed in the lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Marry John

DragonMay's Lairs History
and updates.

For more current updates visit My Lairs Web Journal's. The links are at the bottom of all my pages.

I started building my Lair back in late 1996 when I was with AOL. In 2001 I left AOL and moved my lair to its current home.

It was originally created using Allaire's - HomeSite 3.0, then Homesite 4.0, and as of Feb. 6th, 2005 I started using HTML-Kit Version 1.0 (Build 292).

Also on Feb. 6th, 2005 I began updating DragonMay's Lair from HTML code to CSS code, and I finished it on March 7th, 2007.

On Monday, Sep 26th, 2005 I started adding my Rail Way Station to my site. Due to some small bugs which were quickly worked out as we came across them, and my work schedule I finely got it up and running with 4 (four) different internet "Rail Way" trains running in and out of it on Saturday, Oct 8th, 2005.

I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.

You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.

There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.

For Best Viewing:

My Lair is best viewed at screen resolution 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch or larger monitor or 800 x 600 with a smaller monitor.

It is best when viewed on Internet Explorer Version 6.0

In this window look to the lower right corner for Rendering Engine and select Internet Explorer and click OK. If you do not have Internet Explorer's Rendering Engine listed you will have to download and install Internet Explorer (see link above to get I.E.).

If you want to see my lair with the Font I use you will need to have the font Antique. If you do not have it you can download it here:   Antique Font

The Music on some pages are set to auto-play and loop. Other pages are not set to auto-play. You can turn the music on and off with the controls at the bottom of every page.
