FROM THE DESK OF GEORGE PATH
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
How are you,first i will explain my self little to you before we
continue. I
am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)I am writing to seek your interest over a
transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15m US dollars
(FIFTEEN
MILLIONS US DOLLARS) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer who died along with his entire family in November 2002 in a
plane
crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting
his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that
all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make
this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next
of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since
nobody is coming for it and we don篓藛t want this money to go into the
Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside
for
expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to
enable the
immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply
first to
the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your
bank
name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number
for
easy and effective communication and location where in the money will
be
remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom
of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your faithfully,
george path

It's a scam mark it as bulk. This is there way of getting access to your hard earned money and making them selves rich. Other country's banks do not just pick people to give money to that are not related to the owner. They mark it as un claimed and through it in there bank if a relatives does not claim it in a few years. HI???????????????
Hello,
pl kindly blocked your email id
ok
sorry if it is wrong
theirb is not another way I myself receive that mesage....about 30 times.
I don't know what to do..... It is a spammer. If you get it that often, I recommend you get spam cop and report it. Otherwise just delete and don't opwn. No go near the africans. They are one at a time sends. If there is no unsubscribe link, note the sender and spam it. it is a scam do not respond and if you do not want to recieve this mail just report as spam and you will not receive any mail from his id I've received the same e-mail, but that's not all!!! Look at this!!!
"I am Mr.Ray Duke, the fiduciary agent assigned to assist you in the claims process of your winnings...
I therefore wish to Congratulate you on behalf of the Yahoo Lottery Inc. and to say you are a lucky person to have won this lottery. All 10 winners in this Lottery program were selected randomly through a computer ballot system from Email addresses from the World Wide Web.
You have been cleared for payment, you are to contact a security and delivery services firm (Interworld Forwarding Services Ltd.) For the remittance of your Price money to you.
You are to contact the security and delivery services with this security number for further clarification.
WHAT A SCAM!!! Unfortunately, I get these now, and again, too. The only thing I know to do is to immediately mark it spam, because it is a definite scam! This will help yahoo adjust the spam filter for your account. Warning: Doing this once won't necessarily fix it, as there's 1000's of this type of scam, around the world...so, each email address will be different.
Also, I WOULD NOT respond to them--it's not worth creating a virus, worm, or just simply giving them exactly what they might need to gain more access to your account.
Just save yourself the headache, and SPAM IT...! BULL SH**. It's a scam...
You might want to turn on the view full text header and it will reveal the ip address you can use this website www.antionline.org and select IP locator then enter there IP it will reveal just where the sender is located.
Then you can reply to the sender telling them you know its a scam and you will report them to the FBI.Now filter there IP address in your mail options so that the mail goes to the bulk or spam folder. Nigerian Scam Letters: 542 different examples!
By date received, with names of supposed senders, country where the money is supposed to have originated, and amount. Many duplicates omitted. Many of these emails have been reformatted for readability; the recipient's email address, and all angle brackets or HTML tags were removed. All of the other email and postal addresses, phone numbers, etc., are as given in the email, but be warned, DO NOT ATTEMPT to contact the perpetrators!. They are ruthless and violent criminals. DELETE THE EMAIL.
How does the fraud work? The bait is the fictional millions of dollars described in each one of these letters. The goal is to get you to come up with money for the "expenses" required to transfer those millions to you. The victim thinks, a few hundred or a few thousand dollars is trivial when $31 million is at stake. Each demand for more money is claimed to be the very last obstacle before the big money is released. Sometimes, the victim is lured to Nigeria, where even worse things happen.
How did they get my email address? Exactly the same way all spammers get your email address. Spammers "harvest" email addresses mentioned on web sites. Others run "dictionary attacks" 鈥?programs which query mail servers if they have an address AAA100, AAA101, AAA102, etc. That's why you get tons of unsolicited commercial email even if you've kept your email address a secret. And spammers sell each other CD's with millions of addresses. Remember that practically all spam email is fraudulent anyway, so there is no reason why sellers of penis enlargement pills and vinyl siding wouldn't sell lists of email addresses to Nigerian scammers.
Why is it called "Nigerian Fraud"? Regardless of the country or countries mentioned in the letter -- even countries located outside of Africa -- the fraudsters are usually Nigerian. |
