Today there is a new scam, or relatively new... The so called Job offer...

Greetings,

I am Harrison Blair and i work for Midland Pumps Ltd.Ours is a company
who's efficiency and effectiveness meets the demands of the Water,
Chemical, Pumping and Agricultural Industries in
Asia/Africa/Europe/America.

We are a company with our main factory in Asia.We have been receiving
orders from Northern America,Australia,and Europe which we have not
been able to process competently since we do not have a payment recieving
personnel in these Areas.We have decided to recruit payment officers
online hence we will be needing a representative to process our payments
due to delays in processing payments from these areas in Asia.

Listed below are some of the areas that we specialise in:-

Submersible borehole pumps installation, removal and repair.
Rising main pipework (flanged or screwed & socketed)
'Wellmaster' rising main.
Submersible transducers and low level cut-out electrodes.
Headwork’s and valving.
Surface booster pumps.
Hydraulic pressure vessels.
Installation of chlorine/chloros dosing equipment and controls.
Installation of control panels and associated equipment.
Control panels and automation of pumping processes.
Fully trained in the use of Autocad.

I would like to inform you that all transfers and anything that has to
do with payments are refered to Africa because the cost of coming to
your present location and getting payments is very expensive, we can
spend up to $1,300 only in buying tickets.we need a representative in your
location who will be handling that aspect,We are willing to pay 10% per
every payment you receive.You can still keep your regular job while you
work for us.
All you have to do is help us recieve payments from our customers in
your present location.These payments are in Cheques,Money Order and Bank
Transfers.As soon as you have been employed you will have access to the
company conference in NewYork,which is where you will eventually meet
the company, the problem we have is trust.But we have our way of getting
anyone that gets away with our money,I mean the FBI branch in
Washington DC USA gets involved.

IMPORTANT:You must be over 18 years of age.U.S,UK,CANADIAN OR
AUSTRALIAN Citizenship.If you meet these conditions and wish to apply send this
reference position number #3456234 and please contact us by replying at

I am not exactly sure how these scams work since I have not had time to pursue them.

The traditional idiots are still around:

FROM MR MPOYO VICTOR SOUTH AFRICA +27 73 070 9662

Reply to:

Dearest In The Lord,

I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this letter as request from a family in dare need for your assistance. Firstly, I must introduce myself which you have known Mr.Mpoyo Victor from Zimbabwe, I am the first and the only son of Mr. Charles Mpoyo, I am presently residing in South Africa.

On behalf of my Mother who is a widow Mrs.Grace Mpoyo. I decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$18M (Eighteen Million United States Dollars) in your personal or company account.

Before my father's death he was among the few Black farmers in Zimbabwe who was poisoned by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwe opposition party controlled by the White Zimbabweans. For more information,please view these sites.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/1063785.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2414713.stm

Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit this money to a Security and Finance Company. This money was deposited in a box as a gemstone to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. It was also earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and to establish new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.

In his WILL he specially drew my attention to this sum of US$18Million (Eighteen Million United States Dollars) that he deposited in a safe box in a private Security and Finance Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa.

From the above, you will understand that the live and future of my family depends on this money as much as I will be very grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as Asylum seekers and financial laws of South Africa does not allow Asylum seekers certain rights to such huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South Africa; hence I am asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 70% will be kept by my family and me. Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Kindly get back to me on my private e-mail address victormpoyo1234@myway.com

Best Regards

Mr.Mpoyo Victor

These morons think I speak German:

CHRISTIANA MEGAN,RAYMOND BUREN & ASSOCIATES SOLICITORS & ADVOCATES JOHANNESBURG, SUD-AFRIKA.

PRIVAT & VERTRAULICH

Sehr geehrter,

Mein Name ist Raymond Buren, bin ein 55 jähriger Anwalt aus JOHANNESBURG,
SUD- AFRIKA.Ich bin zur Zeit in Europa (Belgien).
Einer meiner 15 Jährigen Klienten ,ein Deutscher American Namens Peter
Lenze,
welcher über 18 Jahre für eine Diamanten Bergbaufirma ( Debsawna Diamond
Company Pty Limited) gearbeitet hat, ist leider im November 2003 mit
seiner Famillie an einem Planefall verunglückt.

Aus seiner Tätigkeit als Bergbauunternehmer und Contractor ist ein
ansehnliches Vermögen angewachsen und betrug bei seinem Ableben rund
14.5 Mio US$.Während der Jahre unserer Zusammenarbeit hat sich ein grosses
Vertrauen
zu mir gebildet und nach seinem Tode konnte ich sogar seine Prokuristin
anstellen.

Todtraurig hat sich bis zum heutigen Tag kein Verwandter oder
Angehöriger gemeldet um das Vermögen zu übernehmen.
Bei uns in Sud- Afrika besteht ein Gesetz , dass Vermögen welche nicht
innert 3 Jahren in Anspruch genommen werden an die Regierungskasse
übergehen.
Dies möchte ich mit allen Mitteln verhindern.Aus diesem Grund habe mich
bemüht über eine Security Company und einem Sperrkonto ( Safe Deposit Box )
das
Vermögen zu sichern damit es nicht an die Regierung zurückfällt.

Ich suche ferner aus diesem Grund, einen europäischen Partner mit
welchem ich einen Vertrag abschliessen kann und über ihn
(Firma,Name,Adresse,Tel,Fax etc,) diese Geldtransaktion abwickeln zu
können.

Dieser Partner würde für seine Dienste mit 30% Provision belohnt.
Gerne würde ich von ihnen erfahren ob sie an so einem Projekt interessiert
wären? Sie koennen mich unter diese E-mail erreichen
raymondburen@aim.com ;

Herzlichen Dank ,ich würde mich über ihre Koorperation freuen.

Mfg,

Raymond Buren

And can you believe people are still responding to this nonsense???

I MAKE THIS APPEAL WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY FACTS OR OPINION EXPRESSED BY ME ARE GIVING IN CONAFIDENCE AND SOLELY FOR YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND USE. Meanwhile I had already sent you this same letter two weeks ago, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you, i am Mr: karimmichael The manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my Bank.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$8.5M, (Eight Million,
Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with account number 14-2558-5976 that
belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife and
only daughter in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which
crashed on January 31, 2000. You shall read more about the crash on visiting
this site http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/The owner of
this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and
a resident of Alaska.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and for our bank to release the money to you. You have to
follow the instruction which I will be send 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 our bank treasury as
unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed after nine 9 years, the money will be transfered
into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than
seven to eight years and I am preparing documentaion to prove that this
money has been transfered to our bank treasury. It will be between me and
you only that will know that the money is not transfered into our treasure.
This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabé cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner. In appreciation of your assistance, I am
offering you 30% of the total sum. 5% for contingencies (cost of
transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of
transaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply.
I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you
will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to
you as the next of kin to Mr;Morris Thomson. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through
the above email. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SHOULD YOU
CONSIDER MY URGENT REQUEST.
Yours Faithfully,
I Mr karimmichael
