Here is a sample of the scam emails I recently received:
Dear Friend,
My Name is Mr Eammaunl John, I have been searching for
your contact since you left our country some years ago .I do not know whether
this is your correct email address or not because I only used your name
initials to search for your contact in the internet .In case you are not the
person I am supposed to contact,
please see this as a confidential message and do not
reveal it to another person but if you are not the intended receiver, do let me
know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is
top secret.
official visit to my country.I am about to retire from
active Bank service to start a new life but I am sceptical to reveal this
particular secret to a stranger .You must assure me that everything will be
handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in ourlife.any
more
It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy Politicians used our bank to Launder money
overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which
they transferred out of the shores of Africa was old and oil money that was
supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers
always inflated the amounts before transfer to foreign accounts so I also used
the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no
official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such
transfers were being closed after transfer,I acted as the bank Officer to most
of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in
their greedy act,
I also cleaned some of their banking records from the
Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them
to control. They laundered over $2bn during the process .As I am sending this
message to you, I was able to divert more than Fifty Million Dollars ($50m) to
an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank.
The bank is anxious now to know who is the beneficiary to
the funds because they have made a lot of profits with the funds.
It is more than Eight years now and most of the
politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The $50M
has been lying waste but I don't want to retire from the bank without transferring
the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the
receiver. The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because
I secured everything.I only want you to ass is me by providing a viable bank
account where the funds can be transferred. You are not to face any
difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer
personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know
immediately to enable me give you detailed information on what to do.
For me, I have not stolen the money from everyone because
the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is
my chance also to grab my own but you must keep the details of the funds secret
to avoid leakages as no one in the bank knows about the funds.
Please supply me the following:
Your current contact address and Telephone Numbers.
Whether you will be able to come down again to my country to meet me before the
commencement of the transfer I shall intimate you on what to do when I get your
confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate,
do declare your consent to me.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Eammaunl John
