This is one of the most pathetic scam emails that I have received in the past few days.
The writer claims to be chief auditor of Nat West in the UK, yet the email address is non British.
The physical address given is for the FSA not Nat West.
The grammar clearly displays the writer's ignorance.
All in all, a very shoddy attempt at scamming me.
I have forwarded it to Nat West.

Dear Friend,
Â
In order to transfer out (USD 12.6 M) Twelve million Six Hundred United States Dollars) from National Westminster Bank uk. I have the courage to ask you if you are capable,reliable and honest to assist us with this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am Mrs. Nancy Brooks, the Chief Auditor of National Westminster Bank uk (NATWEST BANK). There is an account opened in this bank by Mr Smith B Andreas and since then nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out
urgently,it would be forfeited for nothing.Smith Andreas, a foreigner,and a miner at kruger gold co., a geologist by profession, died in a ghastly motor accident. He opened a non-residential U.S dollar bank account.Since then no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is (USD 12.6M) Twelve Million, six Hundred thousand United States Dollars.
I want to first transfer US$6,000,000:00 Six million United States Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest is transfered,but I don't have any foreign partner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to any other person other than the next of kin to Mr Smith B.Andreas.I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do not know ourselves before now,We will then sign an agreement,but be sure
that it is real and a genuine busine! ss transaction. I only got your contact address from International Business Directory,with believe in God that you will never let me down in this proposed business.You are the only person that I have contacted in this regard, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you of the next step to take immediately.
I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money into a any reliable account of your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal,sharing and other investments oppourtunities as well. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary.I need your full co-operation to make this work, because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account which I will provide to you later. Furthermore,with my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assur! ance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of
transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place.
I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35%of the total amount,65% will be for me, Lastly,if you are intrested in assisting us in this transaction,kindly respond to my principal partner Mr.Donald at (
I look forward to your earliest reply
Mrs.Nancy Brooks

The writer of this scam email claims to be in Spain, his email address is in fact not Spanish.
Despite the claimed "non African" location, this is still a Nigerian scam.
There is allegedly a large sum of money, it belonged to a dead man; and the writer wants me to help him commit fraud by stealing the money.
He employs the same convoluted grammar of the scammers:
"We have to establish mutual trust such that it will be glaring to both parties that we could work with open mind."
Needless to say there is no money.
Anyone who is so stupid and greedy as to fall for this deserves to be conned.
Hello,
I am contacting you to partner with me in respect of transfer of certain
funds, which is being held in a floating account in my organization, Fountain
Securities , in Madrid Spain. I am privileged to have full knowledge of the
availability of this fund due to my function and position in the organization
at present. I have to contact you because it is imperative for me have the
cooperation of a foreigner to be able to transfer the fund out of my country.
This fund, was deposited by Mr. George Martins, who died in 1994 without
leaving any information of any next of kin to inherit the fund. The account
therefore has not been operated since his death.
The total amount involved is Fifteen Million American Dollars. My name is
Douglas Morris. I would give the details of the transfer process if I receive
your response and am convinced that you are willing and dependable to carry
out the transaction with me in absolute confidentiality. We have to establish
mutual trust such that it will be glaring to both parties that we could work
with open mind. On transfer of the fund into your account, your share would
be 35% of the total sum while the rest part would be for me and I intend to
invest the major part of my share in your country with your assistance.
I would appreciate if you could respond to me on my more private
email:dougmorris@k.ro. Kindly state your telephone number so that
I could call you too.
I await your response.
Sincerely.
Douglas Morris.

This scam email has all the right ingredients to warn, even the most naive, that it is a scam:
- It mentions a bank in Nigeria
- It involves a large sum of money
- There is a widow
- The widow is dying
- The scammer invokes God and Allah
- The scammer claims that she wants to donate money to orphans and widows, be still my beating heart!
It is of course total tripe.
Please don't be stupid, and respond to this mail should receive one.

Dear friend,
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Ijaz, who
worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria.for nine years before he died in the year
2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both divoted muslim. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was
alive he
deposited the sum of $12 Million (Twelve Million U.S.Dollars) in a bank.
Presently, this
money is still under the safe keeping of the bank here in Nigeria. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer
problems.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to charitable home or
to a reliable individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct
herein. I want a person that will use this fund on orphanages and widows
propagating the word of almighty God .I took this decision because I don't have
any child
that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not trustworthy and
I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by them. I don't want
a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reasons
for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am
going. I
don't need any telephone communication in this regard atlist for now because of
my health, since my husband's relatives are always around me.
I dont want them to know about this development. With Allah all things are
possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will forward your personal
information to the bank
here in Nigeria.so that they will contact you as the legal owner of this fund
before releasing the fund into your account. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund.
Delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another reliable
individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to
hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed

Today's scam email contains all the usual ingredients:
-A widow
-A box of money
-The desire to transfer the money to an overseas account
As with all of these scams, there is in fact no money; just a conman waiting to relieve you of your bank details.
The writer offers me two choices with regard to working with her. My preferred option is not listed, that being not to have anything to do with her.
Neither should you, if you receive one of these scam mails.
FROM: MRS ROSEMARY MOYO
TEL:
HELLO,GOOD DAY.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
You might be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don?t know me personally. I am MRS ROSEMARY MOYO the wife of late MR. JOSEPH MOYO who was murdered by the Zimbabwean war veterans and irate black people. I am writing this letter from Harare, Zimbabwe, to solicit for your special assistance to my family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party, President ROBERT MUGABE.
Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to disposed the land being occupied by the white farmers. This action led to killing of some members of opposition party including my husband who did not support this ill-fated action. But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of US$25.5 million dollars (Twenty five million, five Hundred Thousand united state dollars) to South Africa and deposited it in a Security Company with the intention of using it for the purchase of farm machinery and chemicals for agricultural Purpose in South Africa and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
This money was deposited in a box as family valuables to avoid much demurrage in the Security Company. On the 29 January 2003 the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compound and axed my husband to death and my second son of 28yrs. Since then they have been terrorizing my son BENJAMINE but he managed to escape to neighboring country South Africa as a
political asylum seeker (refugee).
His position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or to operate any business. That is why I want this fund to be transferred in your account so that you will
assist him to invest the money in your country. If you accept to assist us, all I want from you is to arrange and come down to Johannesburg South Africa so that you can help him to open a non-resident bank account in your name which will aid us in transferring the money into your nominating account overseas.
I have two options for you, firstly, you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account in this transaction or we can go into partnership with you for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country whichever the option you want feel free to notify him. He will then furnish you with every detail you need to know.
We have also mapped out 5% of the total sum for any expenses that might be incurred during the time of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership, we are willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will remain for my family, if you are really capable and willing to assist us please contact him immediately in South Africa with this telephone + , Finally please treat this matter as urgent as possible. Thanks for you?re mutual co-operation. I?m expecting you be soonest and urgent response.
Best Regards,
MRS ROSEMARY MOYO.

Another fake lottery scam arrived in my mailbox today.
I have won $1.5M no less!
Pity it is a scam.
The well worn phrase "due to a mix up in the numbers.." appears within the body of the mail.
It would be nice if the scammers tried to be a little more original in their pathetic attempts to steal money from the greedy and gullible.
The sad fact is that there are people who do indeed get taken in by these scams.

This scam email arrived today.
The scammer claims, in the title, that there is a job being offered.
In fact what he really wants to do, or so he says, is use my bank account for money transfers.
He tries to add legitimacy to his request by invoking the tsunami disaster, very poor taste indeed.
However, in reality, the scammer is either trying to steal my bank codes or use my account for money laundering.
As a word of advice to this guy, next time you pretend to be offering a "legitimate" business opportunity; at least try to write in good English.
Bottom line, it is a scam.

This phish fell into my mailbox today.
It claims to be from Lloyds TSB. However, it is not from them; it is a phish, designed to extract your pass code.
Never respond to these, or click on the links.
