Aside from being guilty of criminal offence in trying to commit fraud, this scammer should also be found guilty of mangling the English language.

The spelling and grammar in this scam email are a disgrace.

Who is "Ma"?

Does he mean my mother?

Additionally, the scammer appears to be confused about how much money he actually has; is it $24M or $25M?

This scammer claims to work with Mikhail Khordokovsky, the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil, and that they have $75M.

They want me to help transfer this money out of Russia.

In the unlikely event that there really is $75M, which of course there isn't, any transaction of this size passing through a bank would immediately attract the attention of the authorities; as it is 100% sure to be money laundering.

Any poor sap who responds to this nonsense needs their head examining.

Dear Sir,
I am PETER LAGUTIN and I represent Mr. Mikhail
Khordokovsky the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in
Russia. I have a very sensitive and confidential brief
from this top (oligarch) to ask for your partnership
in re-profiling funds over US$75.5 million. I will give
the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via
Bank Menatep.

This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 10%
for your "management fees". If you are interested,
please write back by
< > and provide me with your
confidential telephone number, fax number and email
address and I will provide further details and
instructions.

Please keep this confidential; we can’t afford more
political problems. Finally, please note that this
must be concluded within two weeks. Please write back
promptly.I will also suggest you visit these news
sites on the internet to be better informed
about this project.

Write me back. I look forward to it.

In the run up to Christmas, it is reassuring to know that I will not be short of cash. That would, at any rate, should be the conclusion based on the number of lottery "wins" that I have been receiving in my mail box these days.

I guess, if these "wins" were not fake, then I would now be richer than Bill Gates.

However, none of these lottery "wins" are genuine, they are cons sent out by scummy scammers; who hope to trick me into claiming a "prize" and paying a "processing fee".

They are worthless!

Here we have a nice little note from the improbably named Barrister Kofi Afis.

This scammer claims to have $45M, relating to the estate of his dead client...believe that, and you will believe anything!

Anyhoo, "barrister" Afis wants me to help him commit fraud; and pretend that I am related to his dead client.

Now really, if a "barrister" encourages you to commit fraud how far can you trust him on anything else he says or does?

He is a stupid, dishonest and unpleasant little man; he and his message and should be scorned and consigned to the trash can.

DEAR SIR,
I am Barrister.Kofi Afi, a solicitor at law and a personal
attorney to( Late Mr. Giulia A. Gaelle, A
foreigner ) here in after shall be referred to as my
client. My client worked as an independent contractor
to the Ashanti gold Company here Ghana. On the 21st of JANUARY 2002 my
client, his wife and their only daughter were involved
in a(BOMB EXPLOSION) unfortunately they were among
the casualties.

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any
of my client's extended relatives
but
to no avail. I have contacted you to assist in
retrieving fund valued at Forty five Million five hundred United States
Dollars only ($US45, 500,000.00) left behind by my
client with a security deposit Company in (Madrid Spain)
before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the security company where this amount is deposited.
Before his demise, he never motioned having any
relatives nor cousins. After several attempts to
trace any of his relative, I decided to contact you.
One fact and truth remains clear, that anybody I present to the
Finance company as his next of kin, shall inherit the
fund and it is based on this fact that I ask you to
get back to me immediately so that we will discuss on
terms of partnership in this issue so that I will
forward your name to the security company as his
legitimate next of kin
backed up with a sworn
affidavit of oaths from the magistrate court of
ghana.
Be advised that this transaction is confidential and
secret,as regard my legal status.
I will brief you more as soon as i hear from you.
Please get back to me through this e mail:
Thanks
yours

Here we go folks, another fake lottery win has dropped into my mail box.

I get around 4 of these a week, sometimes several from the same company.

How lucky I am!

The bottom line is, that it is a fake; were I to respond, and to try to claim the non existent money, then they would try to charge me a "processing fee".

I would of course never see my "winnings", as they don't exist!

This scammer attempts to pull at my heart strings, by pretending to be dying from cancer.

For good measure, she notes that her husband is dead; and that she has $25M, which she wants me to distribute to charity.

A nicely written piece of fantasy.

There is no $25M, she (more than likely it is a he) is not dying from cancer.

The scammer is trying to steal my id, and raid my bank account.

If you receive one of these, destroy it.

Greetings,

My name is Mrs.Mariam Ahmed, widow to late Mr.Hassan Ahmed former owner of Petroleum and Gas company, here in Kuwait. I am 68years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than 2 months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I don't need your sympathy but I need your trust.

My late husband died early last year from heart attack, and during the period of our marriage we had no child. For this reason, I was the heir to his vast businesses and wealth after his death. My doctors have informed me that I will not live for more than 2 months, which is a difficult thing to accept but I have accepted it in good faith. Still, I have one mission to accomplish in the limited time I have left and so I have now decided to spread all my wealth to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

Before my late husband died, he was a major oil tycoon in Kuwait and deposited the sum of 25 million dollars (Twenty Five million dollars) in a company in Europe some years ago, that is all I have left now and I need you to collect this funds and distribute it yourself to charity, so that when I die my soul can rest in peace. The funds will be entirely in hands and management. I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives, that is my main concern. 10% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 90% goes to charity.

I am sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail, I only found your e-mail address on the web directory and decided to contact you. But if for any reasons whatsoever you find this mail offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my apology.

God bless you.

MRS. MARIAM AHMED.

-A box containing $35M

-A dead body

-An "innocent" person needing help to move the money to a safe country

-A poorly written email

-The mention of God

It must be a Nigerian scam!

There is no money, just a conman looking to fleece the naive and greedy.

Dear friend,
I got your contact through a desperate and personal search on the web for someone I could really trust as I have prayed over it and I wish to express my interest to handle this matter with you as I believe that you are reliable in handling these type of international transaction.

Though we have not met before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life.however is not mandatory or in any manner compel you to Honor against your will,

I am Zani Rasaqq, 22 years old Girl and the only Daughter to the former Minister of Mines and Energy who was killed during the Sierra-Leone crisis by the rebels.

I am now residing in Brunei as refuge and my father before his untimely death left behind a box containing physical cash of US$35 Million (thirty five million US dollars) Which he safely deposited in a security vault during his regime in the office and now I need a foreign business man or woman who may stand as my guardian and benefactor to this fund by acting as my father foreign partner so that I can retrieve the money from the security company and transfer it to the persons foreign bank account for safe keeping and proper investment to secure my future.

I am just 22, years old and a highly school college girl, with little knowledge of business which is why I am in need of a partner whom will assist me to get this fund released for investments in his or her country while I proceed with my education.

Dearest, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance on this regard, and If you know you are capable of handling such a huge amount of money respond to me and I will compensate you by giving you 30% of the total fund and Note also that you must keep this transaction secret as my life is at stake if any one hears of this transaction .

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible to enable me give you the full information's that will be needed but please if my proposal do not suit your interest please confirm to me as to enable me solicit for another person.
Thank you so much and God bless you abundantly.
Yours sincerely,
Zani Rasaqq

2 There is no money

3 Once he has access to my bank account he would then empty it, or use it for money laundering purposes

4 He uses the scammers' favourite word, "modalities"

If you receive one of these throw it away.
