Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Dr.mohammed abdullahd the Senior & Auditor General of a Bank, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is a foreigner, a miner and an industrialist. He made millions of dollars before he died victoriously .Since DEC 26 2003 website details as follow:
<<>
and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it.

My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and that until his death he was the manager director of aluminium & steel industries (PTY). SA. We will start the transfer with the total sum involved (TWENTY FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)USD$25,500,000.00 only, into your account, as a safe foreigners bank account abroad, but I don’t know any foreigner abroad that’s why I have contacted you to bear the legal sole beneficiary of the fund.

I am revealing this to you with believe in God/Allah that you will never let me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this business proposition.

With my influence and the position in the bank, as an official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this money to any foreigner’s reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.

The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately you receive this fund leaving and they will be no trace to any place and to build confidence you can wrote immediately to discuss with me the modalities,after I will make this remittance in your presented account and fix my resign date, to fly down to your country at least 7 days ahead of the fund transferred and confirm into the account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 45% of the total amount, 50% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses might have incurred during the process of transferring. I am waiting for your reply.

Unclaimed Millions Beneficiary Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The writer pretends – poorly – to be a worshiper of God and wants you to find them a church to dispense their funds when they die soon. But if this person is such a close follower of God, they should have at least some connection of their own to a Church, priest or other church-goer.

As of late these types of scams to get your banking details and more, have been constructed fairly well when it comes to proper grammar and sentence structure. This attempted scam is not one of those. It’s very poorly written including the obvious capitalization of words that don’t need to be.

From: Mrs. Roesel Kunie

I am the above named person from France. I am married to Dr Fabien Kunie who worked with France Embassy in America for seven years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only two weeks. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my Matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 24Million Dollars (twenty four Million United State Dollars) on the safe deposit box with the bank. Europe.

Presently, this money is still deposited on the safe deposit box with the bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to cancer Problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. The lord he will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the BANK in Europe I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this Fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein Hoping to hearing from you.

I have set aside 30% for you and for your time and 10% for any expenses if there is any then remaining balance for the word of God.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Roesel Kunie

TRUST IN THE LORD AND GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY SUCKER is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The first giveaway which we always point out to our readers is the source of the email. Not only is it from someone we don’t know who is suddenly offering us millions of dollars for little effort, it comes from yet again another free email address. The free email address this time is from yahoo, and think about it, how many people with high positions in a bank use free email addresses from yahoo or google to conduct business? Right – none. Don’t be fooled.

Now for the content of the scam email – notice the improper use of capitalization, the attempt to make you feel at ease by the writer telling you of their ”family”, and the requisite use of God to try to make you feel good about giving up your personal details and money. A bank manager making a business deal with someone they don’t know, let alone never meet, would never mention their family as it has nothing to do with the business at hand, but here it is used as a wedge to gain your confidence. Don’t fall for it.

As with most foreign scams targeting North Americans this one also has poor grammar and sentences obviously formed by someone who has English as a second language. While the writer purports to be from Ghana and one would expect them to have sub-par English skills, don’t let that gain your confidence. Furthermore, read the actual text. Mrs Sylvalin Jack at first claims that as an officer of the bank she can’t have anything to do with the money being offered to you, yet she is the one contacting you, she is the one that will be the contact for the transaction, and she will receive a full 30% of the transaction! Hello! So which is it – she can or cannot have anything to do with the money!?

If you get the following email which is posted unedited or even something similar – it is a scam. If you already replied with your personal information you need to contact your bank and local police as soon as possible.

Standard Chartered Bank Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Russell here claims to be a lawyer in London yet when you actually read the email you will see that Russell has the language skills of a fifth grader. Notice the unnecessary capitalization of words, improper grammar and the complete lack of legal terminology that lawyers usually write in. Lawyers don’t write like this – scam artists from shady countries do!

The con artist tries to tie in a tragic event with a large lump sum payment if only you would help. And how did this lawyer know you from the other side of the world? As well notice the email address – rgell@mailbox.hu – that’s a Hungarian domain extension. Why would a lawyer in London be using a free Hungarian email service for work? As you can see this is just another pathetic attempt to get you to part with your banking information and money. Don’t fall for it – and if you already have, be sure to contact your bank and local police department immediately.

Below is a copy of the spam email being sent out:

My Client Died – Help Me Take His Money Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

With titles like From China Business Offer, or Quick Money Business Deal, be wary of these job or business offers. They are trying to prey on the tens of thousands of people who are currently out of work or find themselves underemployed and looking for extra money. Many of these people may be applying online for new employment and may not screen their emails closely enough.

Most of these scams deal with the transfer of money or goods. All of them once the details are hashed out involve you giving up your personal details including bank account numbers. Do not accept money on behalf of anyone for any reason over the Internet under such a scenario.

Some examples of these email offers include:

Hello,
I want to solicit your attention to recieve money on my behalf. I will send you the full details and more information about myself and the funds.My personal email is: xin_sheng001@yahoo.com.cn
Thank you

If you get any emails like the one above IT IS A SCAM. Do not reply to such offers – just delete the email and move on. If you have already replied and are accepting cheques or transfers of money to your account you best contact your bank immediately and explain everything to them in full. Keep any correspondence between you and the scammer for evidence.
