I have won 2.5M Euros on the Royal Netherlands Sweepstakes, or some such non existent company. Well in truth, I have won nothing, it is just a scam.

Were I stupid enough to answer this, they would ask for an upfront processing fee; which of course would disappear into the ether.

Don't waste your time with these people, they are trying to con you.

Soliciting for a business relationship?

Paaah! I am afraid it is yet another Nigerian scam.

Here the scammer claims that his dear old daddy has $26M, which he wants to invest in the West.

He needs my help in this "risk free" transaction.

It is a con, don't waste your time with it.

SOLICITING FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE AND PARTNERSHIP

Good morning,with warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings.I hope this mail meets you in good time.However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past,I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefits.I duly appologize for infringing on your privacy if this proposal is not acceptable to you.

First and foremost,I wish to introduce myself properly to you.

I am Mr.Michael Shaw, the son of the former Liberia finance minister (Mr. Emmanuel Shaw) under the past government of Charles Taylor.

I presume you are aware of the political crisis in my country which affected my father's health.

At the end of Charles Taylor's regime,he was exiled to Nigeria where he currently resides.Majority of his officers including ministers like my father,are having their accounts frozen by the present government because they were uncomfortable with the past regime.

We then jointly decided within the family to relocate the family funds outside liberia for investmest.

I am contacting you because of a good friend of my father (Dr.Thomas Clark) who visited your country recently and told my family about you and your country.

Following the above reasons,I have been subsequently adviced by my father to come to Europe to invest his money.So,I am soliciting for your co-operation and confidential assistance to take custody of Twenty six million united states dollars (US26.000.000).And also to front for me in areas of business which you desire profitable.Left alone, this would prove extremely difficult if not impossible because of the bureaucratic nature of the western world.

To show my preparedness and appreciation to conduct this business with you,I shall give you 15% of the total funds and 5% commission on any profit that we might realise in the process of investing the funds.5% shall be set aside for any eventual cost that may occur in the process of this transaction.

Please,I need your entire support and co-operation for the success of this business venture,and also your utmost confidentiality.

Be rest assured that,this is absolutely safe with no risk involved.I do hope my proposal is acceptable to you.

You can reach me through this e-mail address:

Thank you in anticipation while looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Michael Shaw.

I have won another lottery; this time the scammer claims that I have won £10M, he also claims it is £5M.

Really guys, if you are trying to scam me at least keep your story straight!

Here is another variation of the Nigerian scam.

This time it purports to come from a team of investigators; who are looking for the next of kin of a deceased person, with a sum of money deposited in a bank.

It is a scam, the giveaway is that they do not address me by name; also no reputable firm of investigators would contact a potential next of kin via email.

The real giveaway is the fact that the scammer introduces himself by one name, then goes on to sign off under another.

What a moron!

I have forwarded it to the Bank of Scotland fraud investigation department.

My name is Tony Gray.I am a senior partner in the firm of BELETS Consultants:
Private Investigators and Security Consultants. We are conducting a standard
process investigation on behalf of The Bank of Scotland, the international
Banking
conglomerate. This investigation involves a client who shares the same
surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made
by
this client at The Bank of Scotland.

The Bank of Scotland Private Banking client died intestate and nominated
no successor in
title over the investments made with the Bank. The essence of this
communication with you is to request you provide us information/comments
on
any or all of the four issues:

1-Are you aware of any relative/relation who shares your same surname whose
last known contact address was Cannes, France?

2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a
person at the Private Banking Division of The Bank of Scotland?

3-Born on the 1st of June 1927

4-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume
status of successor in title to the deceased?

It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar
with
this personality that we may put an end to this communication with you and
our inquiries surrounding this personality. You must appreciate that we
are
constrained from providing you with more detailed information at this point.

Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford us the opportunity
to close this investigation.

Thank you for accommodating our enquiry.

This is an example of the nastier form of Nigerian scam letter.

In this type of letter, the writer preys on the the charitable and gullible; by portraying themselves as sick/dying, and pretending that they wish to pass on their great wealth to charitable causes.

The reality is that the scammer steals the id of the respondent, and then proceeds to raid their bank account.

No matter how distressing this story, do not fall for it.

What do we have here?

-A dead body
-$28M
-No next of kin
-100% risk free
-Invocation of God

Aah, it must be a Nigerian scam.

Here the writer asks me to help him steal $28M (which does not exist), from the bank account of a person who never existed.

He assures that it is better that he get the money; rather than a corrupt government official, tautology surely?

He also assures me that I am the only person that he has contacted, this of course is a huge whopper. He has emailed thousands with this daft story. Unfortunately, the law of averages indicates that a few of these people will be stupid and greedy enough to fall for this amateurish con trick.

Not I, and not you I hope!

MAIL:


Dear Friend,


In Oder to transfer to overseas $28.5 million(USD)
from GRAND FINANCE AND TRUST BANK,Bénin Republique.
I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable
and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank
a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this funds quitely.

I am Mr. Simon Dama, the accountant/auditor of
the above Finance Corporation in Cotonou,
Bénin Republique and personal confidant to An Australian
Engr Donald Pepper who died in a ghastly motor
accident(year 2001) in Bénin Republique.

Engr Donald Pepper, is An Australian,and a prosperous oil\Gold
merchant, he died in the year 2001 without having any
beneficiary to his assets including his account here in
Bénin which he opened in the above stated bank in the year
2000 as his personal savings for the purpose of expansion
and developement of his company in Africa before his
untimely death in 2001.
And from my Investigation,I found out that No other person
knows about this account because he(Engr Donald Pepper)
never knew that he is going to die so soon, and so
his purpose was not achieved. If I don't remit this money
immediately, it will get lost(may be it will go into the
pockets of the corrupt government officials who will never
use it for any reasonable thing at all).
I dont want to miss this opportunity because it comes ones
in a life time.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local person here, without a valid
foreign international passport, but can only be approved
to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c, this is because the money is in
US Dollars and the former owner of the a/c, Engr Donald Pepper
is a foreigner too, and as such the money can only be
approved into a foreign a/c.

However, I am revealing this to you with belief in God
that you will never let me down in this business.I don't
know you and have never seen you before,I only got your
contacts from an international directory which my
secretary provided for me. You are the first and the only
person that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take. Send also your private telephone and fax number.

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 give to you, upon your positive response and
once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up
with instruction of a keybank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business.
I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free
and legal because all the documents that will back up this
transaction will be available, so that no body will
question the fund when it is finaly tranfered to your
account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 25%
of the total amount.I look forward to your earliest reply
in this my private email navigator:

Thanks for your time.

Your's faithfully,

Mr. Simon Dama.

This scumbag from Nigeria wants me to help him steal $28M.

All I have to do is to provide him with my bank details.

Needless to say, I have no intention of assisting a thief. Additionally, there is the small matter that the money does not really exist.

All that would happen, in this "safe" transaction, is that my id would be stolen and my bank account raided.

Only a moron would fall for this.

Daniel Taiwo
Niger-Delta Development Commission
No.1, NDDC S Avenue,
Port Harcourt, Rivers State,
Nigeria.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Daniel Taiwo the Director-General of Nigeria-Delta Development

Commission (NDDC), Constitutionally mandated with the responsibility of


managing of Niger-Delta Development Fund for the development of the

region.
Niger-Delta is the south-south geographical area of Federal Republic of


Nigeria. The region is endowed with natural resources, which constitute


about 95% of our national income. Consequently to the exploration of Oil


and Gas, there has been verse ecological and environmental pollution in


this region.

Rather unfortunate, the region lacks most infrastural amenities. These

and much more have necessitated the establishment of Niger-Delta

Development Commission, immediately after the inception of this present


democratic government in Nigeria.
Sequel to the passing of bill by the National House of Assembly (the

legislative organ of the Government) and duly accented to by the

president, legitimizing the operations of the Commission by an act of

law. The Commission has, therefore, been constitutionally empowered to

implement a policy, which will relatively address the long-standing

neglect of the region.

Encouraging, the commission having successfully inherited the fine

accruing from the violation of the Associated Gas Injection Act of 1979,


the oil companies operational in the region have also been mandated to

pay 2% of their taxable profit to Niger Delta Development Fund, kept in


NDDCS account in Central Bank of Nigeria- with my commission having

jurisdiction over the fund.

The fund has since incurred well over hundred million dollars. The

commission having performed its duties diligently in identifying,

negotiating and awarding people oriented contracts worth millions of

dollars, myself and colleagues want to have Twenty Eigth million five

hundred thousand Six and Ninty us dollars (US$28, 500, 690.00)

transferred abroad for our personal use. Consequently, we want you to

assist have the fund remitted into your account.

Upon your acceptance to collaborate with us, we will front you to have

performed a contract with the commission, therefore, the beneficiary of


the fund. Every document in respect of the contract, legitimizing you as


the true beneficiary of the fund and authorizing you its immediate

remittance into your nominated account shall be obtained and perfected.
Importantly, however, due to the nature of the fund and the need to

have the esteemed personality of myself and colleagues involved in this


transaction protected, we have agreed to jointly invest the fund in your


economy.

The proceeds of the investment, you shall be, as will be agreed, pay to


our respective offshore account. I must assure you that this transaction


is safe on all its totality; however, absolute confidentiality is

required even after the fund has been remitted into your nominated

account. Note, for your assistance you shall be compensated with 15% of


the fund while 5% is for any expense incurred during the transaction.

You are hereby required to furnish me with the following information?s:
1. Bank name and address
2. Particulars of your bank account
3. Your full name, address and private telephone and fax numbers.
On the receipt of the above information?s, the fund shall be remitted

into your Nominated account within 14 working days.

I await your immediate response.

Best Regards

Daniel Taiwo.

Phishing is a variation of the Nigerian scam.

A phisher aims to con you into revealing your pin codes and bank details. This is usually achieved by emailing you, saying that there is a problem with your bank account.

The email asks you to click on a link, which takes you to a "legitimate looking" site; purporting to be the website of the bank/credit card company.

You are then asked to input your pin codes etc.

Do not fall for this, it is a con.

No legitimate bank would ever ask you to reveal your pin code by phone or net.

Here is a fine example of a phish, allegedly from SunTrust bank.

Dear SunTrust customer,

We recently reviewed your profile, and suspect that your bank
account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party.

is our primary concern.We appreciate your assistance in helping us

1 Diamonds
2 Dead body
3 $22M in a box
4 Christian
5 Investment
6 Keep this confidential (oops!)
7 Sierra Leone
8 Business relationship

When you see these words/phrases you know that it is a con.

Avoid this like the plague!

Dear friend,

I am well confident of your capability to assist me in a
transaction for mutual benefit of both parties, ie (me and
you) I am also believing that you will not expose or betray
the trust and confidence I am about to establish with you. I
have decided to contact you with greatest delight and
personal respect.

Well, I am Sam Jerry Benson, son to Chief Fidelis Benson
late former Director of finance,Chief Fidelis Benson
Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.

Few days before the death my father, he confided in me and
ordered me to go to his underground safe and move out
immediately, with a Deposit Agreement and Cash Receipt he
made with a security Company in Abidjan Cote d‘Ivoire
where he deposited One Iron Box containing USD$ 22 million
dollars cash (TWENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS). This money was
made from the sell of Gold and Diamond by my father and he
have already decided to use this money for future investment
of the family.

Thereafter, I rushed down to Abidjan with these two
documents and confirmed the deposit of the fund by my
father. Also, I have been granted political stay as a
Refugee by the Government of Cote d‘Ivoire.

Meanwhile, my father have instructed me to look for a
trusted foreigner who can assist me to move out this money
from Cote d‘Ivoire immediately for investment.

Based on this , I solicit for your assistance to transfer
this fund into your Account, but I will demand for the
following requirement:

(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where this
fund will be transferred to in your country or another
nearby country where taxation will not take great toll on
the money ?

(2) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable
business venture that would not require much technical
expertise in your country where part of this fund will be
invested ?

Please, all these requirements are urgently needed as it
will enable me to establish a stronger business relationship
with you hence I will like you to be the general overseer of
the investment thereafter.

I am a Christian and I will please, want you to handle this
transaction based on the trust I have established on you.

For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided to
offer you 15% percent commission of the total amount at the
end of this business. The security of this business is very
important to me and as such,I would like you to keep this
business very confidential.If you are willing to assist me
Please kindly reply me immediately.

I shall expect your urgent response thanks.

Sam Jerry Benson

Oliver Aristide wrote to me today, yeah right!

Oliver claims to be the brother of the recently deposed Aristide of Haiti. Seemingly there is a bank account, containing $137M, which is in the name of a dead business associate.

All I have to do is pose as the next of kin, ie commit fraud, and pocket the money.

Dear old Aristide promises that he will use the money to help the poor.

I have to send my details, in order to complete the "modalities". Whenever you see the word "modalities" you can be sure it is a scam, our boys all seemingly went to the same grammar school.

Utter tosh!

Dear Friend,

I write you in good faith, hoping that you will treat this letter as a
desperate search for assistance.
I am Oliver Aristide, the half brother of the recently ousted president
of Haiti Rev. Aristide, who has just been granted asylum in South Africa.

Because of the hurried nature of my brother’s exit from Haiti, he left
the country with the money he could and all his life savings has remained
in Haiti while he left in a hurry in order to safeguard his dear life.
I am in possession of Deposit documents, with which my brother’s
personal business associate Scott D. Morton, Deposited the sum of USD137,500,000
(One Hundred and Thirty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) in
a bank on behalf of my brother. This money was fixed by his associate in
order to beat any probing eyes in the country and when my brother had to
leave hurriedly, this money remained untouched because the associate of his
died in a plane crash, with this money lying in the Bank. We now wish to
have a Next of Kin who must be a foreigner, to stand as beneficiary of this
money so we can move the money to any of the developed countries, preferably
America or Britain. My brother quickly and desprately needs to send
money to the flood victims without anyone knowing the donation is from him.This
is why we seek your assistance to stand as the beneficiary of this money.
All necessary modalities have been put in place to have the money moved
very quickly without attracting attention.
If you agree to work with us to secure this money, we will be willing
to allow you keep 20 percent, 30 percent will go towards humanitarian
relief efforts for the flood victims back home and 50 percent will be kept for
my brother until he is able to get a permanent place for his asylum, by
then all the tension will also have died down.

I can be contacted alternatively at the following Email address:


Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and assistance.
Regards,
Oliver


Avoid it like the plague, it is a con.

Mr Tony Adams, from the Bank of Nigeria, has written to me.

He claims to be an account officer there, and that he has access to a dormant account containing $9M.

This little scum bag asks me to pretend to be the next of kin of the owner (who has died), ie commit fraud; in order to access the funds.

My "friend" Tony then states that "there is no risk".

-There is no account.

-There is no "Tony"

-It is a con.

I am Mr. TONY ADAMS.I am in charge of International remittance at Habib Bank Nigeria Limited. There is a dormant account in my bank and the owner of the account is deceased and I am the account officer to the account of the deceased.
There is a credit balance of ($9 million dollars) which has been dormant for five years now and further investigation, I discovered that the account and the money belong to a deceased foreign contractor in Nigeria.
With my current position in the International Remittance Department on the bank and also as a civil servant I cannot lay claims on this money. What I need from you is to use your name as next of kin and make you the rightful beneficiary so that I will use my position, in moving the ($9 million dollars) out from Nigeria.
Every record concerning this fund and all the legal documents backing the funds are in my possession, which will be forwarded to you once you indicate your interest. I intend to part you with 30% percent of the total sum for your assistance while 70% percent will be for me. Indicate your interest immediately so that I will give you all the detailed information on this issue.
Please my good friend, I want you to limit this matter personally to your self what ever your decision might be through my email address ()
NOTE: That 30% percent is for your assistance
There is absolutely no risk involved.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Kindest Regard
