My advice to this scammer is simple; learn to spell "Rebecca" and write better English.

Dear Beloved ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ.I am Mrs. Rebaca Peters, the wife of Mr. William Peters, both of us, are citizens of the United State of America. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband diedafter a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I\'m in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.

It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

I took this decision because I don\'t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband\'s relatives are not Christians and I don\'t want my husband\'s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death. Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to conclude this, reach me on my mail.

Your's in Christ,

Mrs. Rebaca Peters

This scammer claims to be an external auditor of a well known bank in the UK, and offers me a share in the account of a dead person.

Seemingly this deal has been sanctioned by the "Federal Ministry of Finance".

One small problem (aside from the fact that the entire proposition is bollocks), the UK does not have a "Federal Ministry of Finance".

Hello,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics although, I Wish to use this medium to get in touch with you because it's fastest
means.

I am an external auditor of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom. In one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant accounts with holding balance of £150,000,000 (One Hundred & Fifty Million British Pounds), which has not been operated for the past
three years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner who died long ago and since then nobody has done anything as regards
the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.

I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior official of the Federal Ministry of Finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us although due to his position he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions everything will be successful because we will be working hand in hand with him. With this purpose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and after due legal processes have been followed the fund will be released to your account without delay and we will use it for investment and to assist the less privileged in the societies because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.

This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not
originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Finally, I will give you 40% for your cooperation, 10% will be for miscellaneous expenses that both parties might have incurred during this process. I would want you to understand that this
is a DEAL.

On receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction. Do contact me immediately whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign Partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, contact me URGENTLY for more details as
time is of the essence in this business.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.

You should send me your account information as states below where you like the money to be transfer so that I can send application for the release of the fund immediately with your account information. Even an empty account is ok.

Bank Name.................
Bank Address......................
Beneficiary Name...................
Account Number..........................
Swift Code.....................................
Your Tel/Fax Numbers.............................
State & Country....................................
Occupation...........................


I look forward hearing from you as soon as possible if you are interested.

This scammer should have at least checked to see if I lived in the US/Canada, I don't.

The scam either uses the hapless victim's bank account to launder money, or charges a fee for setting up a non existent job contract.

Trends Holdings And Print needs a book-keeper, we need someone in the States/Canada to work as our representative and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and I will pay him/her a weekly wage, by percentage.

I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreign person so that the proceeds of this account valued at $14.7 million dollars can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin, and then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage.

"Frederick Walter" is keen to con me, this is the fifth identical massage that I have had from him in two days.

RE: Mail From Mr. Frederick Walter,
HSBC Bank,
London
United Kingdom

REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg

Good Day,

My Name is Frederick Walter, the Audit Manager of a reputable bank here in London. Pardon me if the email does not conform to your moralstandards, I do not know you and you do not know me but for reasons which will become obvious to you as you read on, I obtained Your email address from an Internet address listing hoping and Believing God that you will be trustworthy, reliable and willing to assist Me.

Please Sir exercise some patience while you read through my message.I would like to strike a business deal with you if you would approve and consider it.There was a Non Resident Account opened in my Branch and for the past 8 years, this account has been dormant without operation and at the same time nobody has come to claim the money in the account.This made me to trace the source and origin of the funds and the beneficiary status starting since the year 2005 and today I have gathered every report confirming that the account owner was a Top Oil merchant in his country and now has passed away eight years ago leaving no legal inheritance instructions on the account.As at the last balance,the amount in the account is US$15,250,127.12

On further enquiries no family members exist and no one knows of the existence of this account and money because he died along with his entire family in an air crash, alaska airline flight 261 in 2000.Since his death,nobody has come for any claims as nobody knew of the account.

The name of our late customer is Mr.Morris Thompson, his wife's name Thelma Thompson, daughter's name Sheryl Thompson,the owner of Doyon Ltd, in Alaska.

PLEASE REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/thom02.shtml http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5261/is_200009/ai_n2038569

We have been expecting his next of kin to come over and file for claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and that is the reason why I have contacted you to act as the next of kin.If nothing is done now, this account will be converted into the bank treasury bythe end of the last quarter of this year if no one comes forward for the claiming of the funds.

Therefore, I come to you to know if you will agree to this offer so that I will present you officially as the legal Next of Kin/beneficiary to claim the funds while official documents will be processed/secured and prepared by an attorney here in England to support our claims.

This is a straight and legitimate deal without any risk attached/associated with it as long as it will prosecuted legaly and official according and within the precepts of the monetary policies of the British Government.

Our sharing ratio will be 70:30 incase you are interested. Please confirm your direct telephone numbers, full name and address for further discussion of this offer in details.

PLEASE REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg

Regards,

Frederick Walter.

This scammer would have me believe that he is a the finance director of a bank in Dublin. I wonder why his phone number is British, and his email German?

Notwithstanding his alleged position of responsibility, he happily invites me to commit fraud.

I am also warned to keep his mail confidential...oops!

Dear Friend,

I introduce myself as Kevin Barrett, finance director at ACCBank, Charlemont Place, Dublin, Ireland. A contracted staff of Perez and Hamilton contacted you earlier concerning Mr. Mohamed Abdul Ramah and an investment placed under our bank's management 10 years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contact you independently of our investigation and emphasize the reason of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In 1997, the subject matter; Mohamed came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Nine million United States dollars. After some time we did not hear from Mr Ramah again, I was then given the task to investigate his where about only to find out that he has died and he left no next of kin in his file, that is where you come in, I want you to act as the next of kin to the deceased.

I explain more to you as soon as I get back your response with readiness to assist, for your assistance, you will have 35% of the funds and 65% goes to me. I await your response.

Please call me on Tel:+447045723529 or reply to my private email address: kevin_barrett468@yahoo.de Note:

Do not at any time contact me through my official email or phone for confidentiality.

This scammer must be pretty desperate to weave Enron into his fantasy.

He also needs to spell check his magnum opus; the last time I looked "died" was not spelt "deid", neither was "monetary" spelt "monitary".

Dear,

Compliments of the day.

First of all, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Mr. Ray Smith, the Auditor General of Deutsche Bank London. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. I am the accounting officer of Mr. Ken Lay, Enron founder, who deid on July, 5th 2006, at the age of 64 and his friend and partner Mr. Jeffrey Skilling, Ex-Enron CEO who was convicted 24 years for his involvement on the collapse of Enron, the energy trading giant in America.

It will interest you to know that on Wednesday, 7th February 2001, Mr. Ken Lay deposited a total sum of 20M pounds and on Tuesday, 24th April 2001, Mr Jeffrey Skilling deposited 17.5M Pounds in our Bank. These funds were deposited into a non-existing company's account which I opened in our bank (DEUTSCHE BANK LONDON) under their instructions, to avoid raising an eyebrow but unfortunately for them and fortunately for me, the 2 men are gone. You can read more about the 2 men by visiting the below websites:

http://www.chron.com/news/specials/enron/
http://www.accountancyage.com/accountancyage/news/2171002/enron-ceo-sentence-slashedhttp://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=8082101

Right now, we have the sum of 37.5M Pounds lying in the 2 accounts without any proof of ownership as it was opened with non-existing companies name and the bank is not aware of the real beneficiaries as the accounts did not bear any name. As their accounting officer and financial adviser in charge of these accounts, I can comfortable present you to the Bank as the real beneficiary of the funds and the Bank have no right to deny the application.

Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand as the owner of these accounts, since it has no trace or beneficiary which makes it easier and fine to transfer to your designated bank account as the beneficiary. The nature of my work as a staff of the Bank will not allow me lay claim on the funds, hence this proposal to you and be informed that as long as you are ready to cooperate and be truthful to me, I can assure you that the sky will be our limit. All documents and proves to enable you get the money will be carefully worked out and more so, I assure you that the business is risk free, as everything will be handled in accordance with the International Monitary Guidelines. I am offering you 40% for your cooperation in achieving this aim. Please, if you are interested in working with me, I will like you to send the below informations to enable me procure the necessary documents that will back up the transfer to your account:

1. YOUR HOUSE OR COMPANY'S ADDRESS.
2. AGE, SEX AND MARITAL STATUS.
3. OCCUPATION.
4. NATIONALITY.
5. TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATIONS.

As soon as I receive your acceptance mail by forwarding the above informations, I will prepare the paper works in your name for onward remittance of the funds into your designated account.

Lastly, I want you to understand that this transaction requires trust, honest and above all, utmost confidentiality, to avoid escalating. Call me on 44 704 576 5420 after going through this mail for oral discussions.

Anticipating to hear from you soon.

Regards.Mr. Ray Smith

The Auditor General,
Deutsche Bank
London.

This scammer does not grasp the fundamental point that lawyers, acting on behalf of the deceased, do not contact potential beneficiaries in this manner.

Regrettably some people fall for this nasty con trick, and hand over their personal details and "commission" payments.

THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of £10,600,000.00GBP (Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance.

We therefore reckoned that you could receive this fund as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.

Please get back to me ASAP so as to get this done immediately.

Yours faithfully,
Julio Fernando

"Strange and unbelievable"

Quite!

The good Deacon should really stop sending me these emails, I am no more likely to respond to the fourth one as I was to the first.

Dear Beloved,

Notification of Bequest.

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Engr. Mark Halligan, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL.

I wish to notify you that late Engr. Mark Halligan made you a beneficiary to his will. He left the sum of Nine Million, One Hundred Thousand Dollars(US$9,100,000.00) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good.

Engr. Mark Halligan until his death was a former managing director and pioneer staff of a giant construction company (JULIUS BERGER). He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late Engr. Mark Halligan died on the 9th day of February 2004 at the age of 82 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him this money is to support your humanitarian activities and to help the poor and the needy.

Please If I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. You should forward along your current telephone number, including your current mailing address.

I hope to hear from you in no distant time.

Yours in His service,

Deacon M. Welling, Esq.

I do wish these scammers would learn to write English.

What precisely is a "busnness magnet"?

Could she possibly mean "business magnate"?

From Miss Mariam Kenzo
Abidjan- Cote D' Iviore

Dear,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,I am Mariam Kenzo 21years old and the only Daugther of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Kenzo. My father was a highly reputable busnness 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 year 12th.Febuary 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa.

He further told me that he deposited the money in my name,I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

Dear,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will
be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.Through my private email box.

Thank you so much and may God bless you.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Mariam Kenzo

3 UK is spelt with a capital "K", not lower case "k"

4 "Organisation" is spelt with an "s", not a "z"

The fact that this scam email starts off by talking about a "concealed business suggestion" should alert even the most naive recipient to the fact that this is a scam.

The scammer, for good measure, then offers me a deal involving unclaimed funds allegedly belonging to a dead Iraqi general.

A scam if ever there was one!

Mr. Patrick Chan.
Email: (patriwcchan1954@yahoo.com.hk)

Good Day

I am Mr. Patrick Chan, Executive Director and C.F.O of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you. Gen. Samir Abi Rahman who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of USD$24.5 Million only in my branch.

Several maturities notices was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003. also after the war another notification was sent and no response came from him. We later found out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

After more inquiry it was also discovered that this General did not declare any next of kin in his official papers.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. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

I want you to know that I have everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Should you be interested send me the following;Full names, private phone number, current residential address and I prefer you reach me on my private email address below after which I shall provide you with more details on this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

It is!

This badly written laughable attempt at a scam arrived today.

What on earth does the illiterate git mean by "enroot"?

Full stops and commas also seem to pose the scammer some problems, and as to what a "lesion" office is... well that's anyone's guess!!!
