I have just won $1.9M on the Japan E Mail Lotto, if this email is to be believed.
Needless to say I have not really won anything at all.
This is yet another scam, designed to sucker the innocent and naive out of their money.
The only people who "win" on these are the scam merchants who send them.
Don't be a fool, avoid this like the plague!

The son of the ex president of Congo, now dead, has written to me today.
Let me rephrase that, a person claiming to be the son of the ex president has written to me.
As usual with these scams, his email contains all the usual garbage:
-A lerge sum of money, in this case $32M
-A box containing the money, why don't these people put their money in the bank like normal folk?
-A wicked stepmother
-The need for a reliable foreigner to help him spirit the money away.
It is a con, don't fall for it!
FROM MR. LAURENT DESIRE KABILA (JUNIOR)
I know you will be surprise to receive this but do please consider it a request from a suffering family in serious need of your assistance. My family had to bring before you this proposal because we sincerely hope you will be reliable to assist us.
Any way, my name is as above stated. I am the first son to the second wife of the recently assassinated President of the Democratic Republic o of Congo, late Laurent Desire Kabila. My mother got your contact information through a family friend who works with the United Arab Emirates Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Six months before the assassination of my father, he had used my name to deposit in a metal box the flat sum of Thirty Two Million United States Dollars=us$32 m=in a vault of a private security firm in Middle East. The Security Company do not know the actual content of the box deposited with them since my father declared it to be precious metals. This money was to be used for his second tenure election campaign bid but unfortunately, his own personal aide assassinated him in a palace coup on the early hours of January 16th, 2001.
Since my father's death, my stepmother has continued to be extremely mean and discriminatory to us in the family scheme of things because his son, MR.JOSEPH KABILA, now rule as president. She has even arbitrarily accused my mother of having, Masterminded our father's assassination and all sorts of ground less accusations. As a result of all these, I decided to move my family to United Arab Emirates. Right now, I am staying with my family here in United Arab Emirates but as refugees.
As it is, I have now decided to divert this money for our own personal use but we would want to get it transferred outside the continent for onward investment purposes. We do not want to invest here due to the volatile and sensitive status of the region.
As an international partner, I genuinely solicit that you kindly help me and my family transfer this money into your country through your personal or company bank account for safekeeping pending my immediate arrival for onward investments, which we are going to rely on you heavily to help us materialize.
This money will be paid into your account as a contract fund through a prime private online bank here in Middle East, United Arab Emirates. I must stress here that there is no risk involvement of any kind since our Attorney have mapped out a very perfect and smooth-free transfer plans that will be concluded within a maximum of five working days of receiving your approval.
We have resolved to offer you 25% of the money for your assistance and 5% of it will be for all kinds of expenses you will incur in the course of transferring this money. The rest will be for investments in your country or anywhere you might suggest. Further Discussions will commence when we hear from you but do not forget the absolute confidentiality and mutual trust required in this transaction.
God Bless you.

This jolly little note plopped into my inbox this morning.
The writer claims to be an auditor with the accountant general's office in South Africa.
Of course he isn't really.
He claims to have access to a dormant account of $65M.
Of course there is no such account.
He wants me to pose as "next of keen", whatever that is! So that he can steal the non existent money.
Don't fall for this, it is a scam.

ALTERNATIVE EMAIL
ATTN:Sir/Madam
Accept my apologiesfor writting toyou in this mode,it is my quest for a
foreigner and international assistance that i sought your help.
My name is DR GARUBA BAMAYI, an auditor with accountant general's
Office,South Africa.durining the course of our auditing, I discovered
an account opened with one of the branches of Co-operative and
commerce bank since the year 1996. This account was functional and
operative until August ending 2001, when the last withdrawal of
(USD$23,000) twentythree thousand United States dollars was made from
the account via transfer request to Europe. This leaves the balance
of (USD$65.000.000) Sixty five Million United States dollars.
On further investigation into the dormant account, I found the name
of the account Holder to be one Mr. Daniel Hans(aforeigner ) the
Director Danhans Investment Pty Ltd. A solid mineral based company.
From the cash withdrawal requisition he made through the offshore
payment office in Europe, it was discovered that Mr. Hans Daniel and
family are billed for holiday in United States Of America By first
week of September.
The story later had it that the whole family left South Africa early
August, leaving the Gardner in charge of their resident in South
Africa.The Gardner confirmed that Hans last phone call was on
September 10th 2001 before the incident bombing attack on the
Pentagon and the world trade center.The Gardner has made away with
valuables to the black Township of Soweto.
Now, the bank will release this money to any foreigner that forwards
claims as next of keen to Mr. Hans Daniel provided that the person
has useful information and necessary documents. It is a fact that I
do not know you before, my reason to look for your
address through directory was this need to use a foreigner like you.
I have plans to arrange all documents and secure approvals for the
payment in your favour if you accept to work with me. Your part is
either to provide your existing dollar account or you set up new one.
If I have your account information, I will handle the rest by
initially transferring (USD$65.000.000.00)Sixty five Million Dollars
into your account.
On successful transfer of the first phase, I will come over to your
country for sharing. We shall reserve 25% for charity organizations,
25%for your assistance,5% for expences then the remaining 45% will be
invested for me in your country under your supervision. Please
indicate your interest to work with me, by sending your phone and fax
numbers and the account information.
Yours faithfully,
DR GARUBA BAMAYI

This law is yet another smear campaign aimed mainly to frustrate, humiliate, dismember and widen the scope of Hatred to our family.

This "lady" wrote to me today, claiming to be the wife of former President Estrada who is in jail for corruption.
Now that's a good start!
Anyhoo, she claims that she has access to his bank account of $30M and wants to steal it.
Needless to say she needs my help.
Why do all these criminals write to me?
Well, aside for the fact that theft is illegal, the real problem here is that she is not who she claims to be and there is no $30M.
I trust you are not so stupid, greedy and dishonest as to fall for this pathetic con trick?
Goodday,
My name is Mrs. Luisa Estrada, the wife of Mr. Joseph Estrada. The
former president of Philippines. My husband is presently in jail facing
trial on charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the mysterious charge
of plunder which might lead to death sentence the present government is
forcing him out of manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter.
During my husband regime as the president of Philippine I realized some
reasonable amount of money from various deals the successfully executed
I have plan to invest this money for my children's future on Real
Estate and Industrial Production in your country. My husband is not aware of
this because I wish to do it secretly for now and was impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate.
Before my husband was impeached, I secretly siphoned the sum of
$30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United states dollars) out of
Philippines and deposited the money with a security firm that
transports valuable goods and consignments through diplomatic means .I am
contacting you because I want you to go to the security company and
claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the consignment
belong to my foreign business partner. You shall also be required to
assist me in investment in your company.
I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will not sit on this
money when you claim it, rather assist me properly, I expect you to
declare what percentage of the total money you will take for your
assistance. When I receive your positive response I will let you know
where the security company is and the payment pin code to claim the
money which is very important.
My son was released from detention on the agreement to refund $1.5
million to the Government of Philippines allegedly stolen by my
Husband.

Now that's a good start!
Anyhoo, she claims that she has access to his bank account of $30M and wants to steal it.
Needless to say she needs my help.
Why do all these criminals write to me?
Well, aside for the fact that theft is illegal, the real problem here is that she is not who she claims to be and there is no $30M.
I trust you are not so stupid, greedy and dishonest as to fall for this pathetic con trick?
Goodday,
My name is Mrs. Luisa Estrada, the wife of Mr. Joseph Estrada. The
former president of Philippines. My husband is presently in jail facing
trial on charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the mysterious charge
of plunder which might lead to death sentence the present government is
forcing him out of manila to avoid demonstration by his supporter.
During my husband regime as the president of Philippine I realized some
reasonable amount of money from various deals the successfully executed
I have plan to invest this money for my children's future on Real
Estate and Industrial Production in your country. My husband is not aware of
this because I wish to do it secretly for now and was impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate.

This scammer asks if I can be sincere; I can, but he is not.
He claims to have $20M, laying unclaimed in the Hong Kong bank account of a dead Iraqi general.
He wants me to claim to be the general's next of kin, ie commit fraud, and transfer the money to my account.
We then split it 70/30.
As usual with these scammers. He claims that there is no risk.
The reality is that there is no money, committing fraud is illegal and any greedy fool who fell for this would end up losing a lot of money.
Use your brains and avoid this like the plague.
CAN YOU BE SINCERE
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Wang Qin credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a concealed business suggestion for you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen.Ibrahim Moussa 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!,Twenty millions Five 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 to the laws of my country at the expiration 4years 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 youas a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, all that is required from you at this stage is for you 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 move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as weare going adopt alegalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bankaccount we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for anyexpenses incurr
ed during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and I will provide you with more details of this operation.Your earliest response to this letter will be

I have won the Luckyday lottery, lucky me!
In fact it is just another scam, there is no lottery.
The only difference between this pile of shit and the others that I receive on a regular basis, is that this contains more spelling mistakes and errors than the other scams.
In this there is confusion as to whether I have won one million dollars, or $12M.
Either way it doesn't matter, it is a scam.
Don't be stupid, don't respond to this one.

It seems that the curse of the scam email has spread from Africa to Japan.
This pile of garbage arrived in my email box today.

They have some money that may belong to me, if I can prove that I am the next of kin to a dead person.
Utter garbage, yet some people fall for it.
