Scam Mondays

The following are some of the scams landing in my mailbox in the last two days. Remember, you can not win a lottery that does not exist. You can not win a lottery that you did not enter. Microsoft and Toshiba ARE NOT in the Lottery business. AND people do not email STRANGERS with great fortunes they want to share. PLEASE questions about if these are REAL, they are NOT. If they were, they would not be listes as SCAMS!

Read on for today's LONG LIST!



African Intrigue (I just love these idiots, check out the way he starts the email!)
Dear friend,

I know this mail may come to you as a surprise considering the fact that we have not had any acquaintance. In fact is very urgent and important that you have to get back immediately. If you are interested in this offer and are willing to occupy this opportunity, you are welcome to send your replyto (osafo_maafo@yahoo.com) or contact my lawyer in Ivory Coast; Mr. Koulibaly Mamadou. 2000. Côte d?Ivoire: entretien avec Mamadou Koulibaly. In: PoA 77,pp. 129-142 Abidjan. Email: megachambers1960@yahoo.fr . Although we have not met before which through email communication we can know each other very well. As matter of fact, the reason of dropping this few words to you are because of the need to invest in your country through your assistance. Already I have made every arrangement on how the money will be transferred or delivered to you cash depending on how you might want it.

To clear myself, Yaw Osafo-Maafo is my name and former Ghanaian minister of finance. Although I was sacked by President John Kufuor on 28 April 2006 for the fact I signed £29 million book publication contract with Macmillan Education without reference to the Public Procurement Board and without Parliamentary approval. You can read more on this web page http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=103713

Right now, I was being probed because of it. As matter of fact, £9 million part of the money was lodged into my private account with Bancaixa Spain. Already I have notified my lawyer in Cote d'Ivoire about it and he will see the money is transferred or delivered cash to you in any way there will be no trace. You should get back to me immediately so that I will instruct my lawyer in order to travel to Spain and make sure the money is transferred or which ever way you want it. I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach. Any question you wish to ask concerning this deal, do not delay to ask.
I wait your response.

My regards,

Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo.

how are you today.

Good thing to write you I have a proposal for you, i intend to establish with you and in your country which however is not mandatory nor will in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

Dearest we are fred and Lillian willson, of our late Parents Mr and mrs willson. Our Father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during His days. It is sad to say that He passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad .

Though His sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of ours who travelled with Him at that time. But God knows the truth!Our mother died when we where small ,and since then our Father took us so special. Before His death , My father called the secretary who accompanied Him to his lawyer and told him that he has the sum of (USD$8.700,000) ( MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)deposited with a security company as a Trunk box in Cote'D Ivoire west Africa. He further told him that He deposited the box with the name of a business partner while I am the next of kin and that the security company is not aware that the content of the box is cash.

We are just young 18 and 16 years old and a highy school college people, with little knowledge of business which is why We are in need of a partner whom will assist us to get this fund released for investments in his or her country while I proceed with our education Dear,
We are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance on this regard, and your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated.
Now permit me to ask these few questions?

1. Can you honestly do this transaction with Us ?

2.can We completely trust you?

Please,Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible so that we can give you the full informations that will be need. And We will want you to know that you are the frist person we have contacted for this transaction.
Thank you so much and God bless you abundantly.
You can contact us also with fredwillson2006@yahoo.fr Best regards,

fred. And Lillian willson.

Bank Officers don't look for next of kin on the Internet
Union of London and Smith's Bank Ltd

Date: 24/07/06

Attn: David S. Anderson

NOTIFICATION AS NEXT OF KIN/BENEFICIARY

I am Mr. Daniel Cole the Managing Director of Union of London and Smith's Bank Ltd.
I was the accounting officer of late Dr.Harry Anderson an American citizen who was a contractor of Shell Petroleum Company.

On the 15th of April 2004 my client his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident Interstate . All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Before my client died he deposited his life savings of US$ 25,540 million as a consignment with the Union of London and Smith's Bank Ltd department of security valuables custody.Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital valued at US$25.540million left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the share holders of this bank so that they can share his funds as dividends amongst themselves or turn it over to the Government for the Campaign against terrorists attacks.

The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days. Because as at the time of his demise I was his accounting officer but have since been promoted to the position of Managing Director ever since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for the 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 that will protect you from any breach of the law.

I am waiting to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
Mr. Daniel Cole
Managing Director.

The Insurance Executive
FROM: DR MARTIN PETERS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR;
PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE
COMPANY.

My Dear Friend,

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this
mutual beneficail transaction. Though, this medium (Internet) has been
greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication.
However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be
treated as such. I also guarantee you that this deal is hitch free from
all what you may think of. I amDR MARTIN PETERS Executive Director
incharge of Claims and
Indemnity of PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company. I am
contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached
to this deal for the benefit of both of us.

The Management and the
Legal / Treasury Department of this PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company in a
recent meeting, recommended that the Assurance Contract of MR. ROBERT
FINKELSTEIN, who maintained a Life Assurance Policy, should be declared
Dormant and confisticated hence moving his unclaimed benefits funds to
the Treasury. Recently, I came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person (MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN). He is
foreigner, unfortunately He is now late as he was amongst those that
died in the recent plane crash, as you can confirm through this website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm //news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm');>

This man was our
client and has a Life Assurance Policy WORTH the sum of Forty Five
Million United States Dollars (US$45,000,000.00). Right now, the fund
is lying unclaimed in our custody and there is NO next of kin mentioned
in his file and there is NO HOW we can reach any of his other
relatives. All efforts made by us to establish contacts with any other
of his relation has proved abortive and unsuccessful. His Life
Assurance Policy will expire in the next few months from the date of
this letter. Just last week we received an instruction from Ministry of
Social Welfare to forward particulars of all unclaimed benefits that
will expire in the next few months.

Upon my personal finding on this
matter, I kept this information secret to myself until now that I am
contacting you. In view of the fact that the deceased customer is a
foreigner (from a different country), it is Officially important for
the involvement of a foreigner who will pose as a next-of-kin. I will
use my exalted position in this Insurance Company to present you as his
Next of Kin as you can be his relative, friend or Cousin and the Money
(US$45Million) will be Safely transfered into your own bank account in
your country. Please include your telephone/fax number/ Home Address
when replying this mail and I will give you more information as soon as
you indicate your willingness to assist in this viable transaction.

The whole Procedures will last only 5 working days to get the fund
retrieved successfully Without trace even in future. Please I need the
following:

1. YOUR FULL NAME
2. PHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. HOME
ADDRESS/COMPANY'S NAME AND ADDRESS.
4. YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION

The
transaction will be done successfully and smoothly completed via email
and telephone. You don't need to come to my country. Send your full
name, address and telephone number to me via email urgently today so
that I will call you for discussions. I PROMISE that you must be happy
and shall rejoice greatly soonest for cooperation with me in this
transaction. After successful conclussion of this transaction, we shall
share the money 50-50 (50% for you and 50% for me). Although, I
have
engaged in a similar business in 1998 in which I diligently ensured the
TRANSFER of U$32Million to a German Businessman (MR. ANDREAS
WEISSBECKER), He is presently sitting on my Money and refused to give
me my share since that time. Because of this, I am afraid but, I am
willing to try again with you believing that you will NOT disappoint
me. Because of my Religion as a devoted Christian, I trust people with
all my Heart and I sincerely believe that there are Good People that
are
TRUSTWORTHY in the Universe.

I await your good response today.
Thanks and remain blessed. I require you to maintain the
confidentiality of this transaction because it is important due to the
fact that I am still in active services to the PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE
COMPANY. Your earliest response to this matter is very important.
Alternative mail reply(martin_peters20062000@yahoo.com.cn martin_peters20062000@yahoo.com.cn>)

I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY TODAY.

Kind Regards,
DR MARTIN PETERS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; PRUDENTIAL
Insurance.
