    Another angle on scamming...

    I think that I may copy and paste some of the dodgy emails that Al or Arthur keep sending me.....

    It is the spelling that gives them out....

    Dear friend,

    Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God. This mail might come
    to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious
    could come into your mind; but please, consider it a divine wish and
    accept it with a deep sense of humility. My name is John Kelly. I am a
    55 years old man. I am British living in Dubai (United Arab Emirate).
    I was a merchant and owned two businesses in Dubai. I was also married
    with two children. My wife and two children died in a car accident six
    years ago.

    Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all
    I lived for. I never really cared about other values in life. But
    since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist
    helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/
    motherless homes. I have donated some money to orphans in Sudan, South
    Af! rica, Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian
    countries. ! Before I became ill, I kept $9 Million in a long-term
    deposit account in Abbey National Bank Plc London, United Kingdom.

    Presently, I am in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
    for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my
    doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my
    last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations.
    Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth
    since my illness, I can not 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 collect the deposit
    and the interest accrued from the company and distributes it amongst
    charity organizations. Use your judgement to distribute the money and
    feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost
    you incure during the process of collecting and distributing the money
    to charity organizations.

    I am willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help;
    please reply as soon as you can.

    May the Good Lord bless you and your family.

    Regards,

    John Kelly.

    Dear John Kelly
    I hope you are still alive when you receive this email, because if you are dead it might take you longer to reply.
    I was so amazed to receive your plea for help, nothing like this has even been received before, honest!. Thank you for your kind words and for having faith in me when so many have written me off as a danger to society and to those around me (anyone who truly knows me like you do, understands that the unfortunate episode last year in the airport with the knife was just a bad day where the tablets hadn’t really worked for me, besides the Harry Krishna dude had it coming for banging that tambourine in my face).
    Anyway, I hope you won’t be too upset but I showed your email to the prison chaplain who immediately told me it was a sign from God that all the nasty things the Judge had said about me when recommending the 20 years minimum sentence were hasty and misguided, and that I should immediately respond and offer you my help (sorry it has taken 3 weeks to reply but my computer privileges were removed after a little misunderstanding between me and the prison goat that was unfortunately witnessed by several guards in the petting zoo), but better late than never as Slasher says (he’s my cell mate and father figure- well, he calls me his little long lost daughter as he strokes my hair at night but I don’t have the heart to tell him i’m not her).
    So john me old male cow defecation sole trader , how can I help? I assume you need me to collect the money for you from the bank? Is there a password I need to use so they know it’s me or do I just go in guns blazing like old times? Also, if you need me to show any form of identification, you will need to post me 200 woodbines so I can pay Harry The Forger in advance. Oh, and i don’t know if it’s any use to you, but he does a great line in old white fivers.
    Logistically speaking, London is a bit far for a day pass for compassionate leave, I’m presently based in Dartmoor but might be moving depending on my next psych evaluation. Is there any chance this can be done at the local branch in Akrington Stanley?
    Now don’t get mad, but you mentioned a reward. It’s been my lifelong wish to travel, to see the Great Wonders of the world, the Pyramids of Giza, the Niagara Falls, the Great Scams of Nigeria, the Nags Head in Peckham, etc. Could you possibly elaborate on what my slice of the pie might be?
    We can talk more next time, it’s lights out now so I might lose the connection at any moment. And please forgive my reply being on toilet roll and written in crayon, it’s all they give us in creative arts anger management 101.
    Your new best friend

    Pretty tame stuff this....

    It will be a surprise for you to receive this mail.I am Mr Mohamed Harry, the director of accounts & auditing dept. At the bank of Africa Ouagadougou-west Africa . With due respect i have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of an airline crash on 6th November 2003. Since the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client. Since his demise, nobody, not even the members of his family have applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until we discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the dept, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. With the few personnel in my dept, we decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too. The total amount in the account is Fifteen million dollars (USD15, 000,000.00) with our positions as staffs of the bank, we are handicapped because we cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bona fide claim over this money. The client is a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and i will supply you with all the necessary information’s and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transfer into. I and my partners have decided to give away thirty %(30%) to you for your assistance and ten (10%) for any expenses that might arise during the transaction of this transfer. we want to assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free since we work in this bank which is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired and i will please wish you keep this transaction secret and confidential. Upon your reply i will send to you the details and text of application which you are going to fill and send to the bank for the claiming of the said fund into your bank account. May ALLAH help you to help us to a restiveretirement. Amin! Thanks and remain blessed, Mr Mohamed Harry.

    You are in the army now... whoa...Whoa... whoa... in the army.....



    Greetings,

    I know you would be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to
    you before. My name is Sgt. John T. England, a member of the U.S. ARMY
    USARPAC Medical Team, which was deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the
    war in Iraq. I would like to share some highly personal classified
    information about my personal experience and role which I played in the
    pursuit of my career serving under the U.S 1st Armored which was at the
    fore-front of the war in Iraq.

    Though, I would like to hold back certain information for security reasons
    for now until you have find the time to visit the BBC website stated below
    to enable you have insight as to what I'm intending to share with you,
    believing that it would be of your desired interest one-way or the other.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

    Also, could you get back to me having visited the above website to enable
    us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding.
    I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you without
    knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go
    public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence of
    this message is strictly for mutual benefit of you and I and nothing more.

    I will be vivid and coherent in my next message in this regards,
    meanwhile, could you send me a mail confirming you have visited the site
    and that you have understood my intentions? I will await your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Best Regards

    Sgt. John T. England

    Dear Partner,

    My name is MR MAHAMA GOAMA, the Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of the BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A), Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.

    In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$18.3M (EIGHTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.A DOLLARS). In an account that belongs to this our foreign customer who died along with his wife and children in the 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 the 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 died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

    The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. On the account of your reliability and trust worthiness, I have decided to contact you in order to transfer the said amount into your nominated bank account, its 100% risk free. Upon receipt of the above mentioned I will send to you by fax or E-mail a TEXT OF APPLICATION which you shall re-type and fax to our foreign remittance Department, for easy execution of the transaction.

    All necessary documents shall be obtained on your behalf to back-up this claims. Kindly contact me on for security reason and for more explanations and possible means of transferring the fund into your account. If you accept my offer I shall compensate you with 30% of the money, 60% goes to me and my colleague, after which we shall visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated, I am assuring you that with my position this money will hit your account before 21 banking working days.

    Reply with the assurance, come up with the information's showed below:-
    1)YOUR FULL NAME............................
    2)YOUR AGE...........................
    3)MARITAL STATUS...........................
    4)YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER............................

    MR MAHAMA GOAMA

    Hmm ... from MY point of view, the very fact that "the sender" of the comunication starts off by referring to himself as [MR] William Patrick ... instead of simply, William Patrick ... and proceeds to "sign-off" in the same manner is, in itself, 'a dead giveaway'! If I had £1 for every [so-styled] piece of junk mail I'VE received, I'd have been a rich man long ago.

    In the event, I'm rather prone to wondering if the likes of "Mr Patrick" ... and other numbskulls of that ilk ... imagine I came up the River (Tay, in MY case) in a banana boat!

    According to BBC News, the father of the Nigerian who attempted to blow up the Delta airliner whilst approaching Detroit had emailed US authorities to warn them about his son's extreme anti American views. This man happened to be a very wealthy banker.

    You can imagine the email arriving at the US Government's offices:

    Good afternoon, I am a wealthy Nigerian banker....

Following my ill health(Cancer of the Lungs), my Doctor told me that I may not live longer than required due to my health condition.I am looking forward to seeing someone who can use this money in charitable works.

    Business From Iraq‏
    From: Sgt John Moore (sgtjhmoore@sify.com) You may not know this sender.Mark as safe|Mark as junkSent:12 January 2010 11:51:03To:
    Hello,

    Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you
    as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it
    carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my
    future and continued existence.

    Please allow me to introduce myself.I am Sgt John Moore, a US Marine
    Sgt.serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the
    Anbar province, Iraq.I am desperately in need of assistance and I have
    summoned up courage to contact you.

    I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address
    journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of 25million USD
    (Twenty Five Million USD) to the States or any safe country,as far as I
    can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my
    service here.This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

    SOURCE OF MONEY:

    Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels
    with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam
    Hussein's old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was
    agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might
    appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can
    make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The
    above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money
    became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working
    with the UN here(his office enjoys some immunity)I was able to get the
    package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not
    know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an
    American who died in an air raid,before giving up trusted me to hand over
    the package to his close relative.

    I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you
    to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been
    lucky to have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine
    intervention.I will give you 25% of the total sum.

    This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach
    out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavor to contact
    me and we would work out the necessary formalities but i pray that you are
    discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.My first demand to
    you is to ask you for your strict confidentiality on this transaction and
    total trust too, these two things are the most important things needed to
    conclude this transaction.

    Required Details
    Full Name:
    Full Address:
    Phone Number
    Get back to me with the above details so that they can make delivery of
    the consignment to your Doorstep.
    Respectfully,
    Sgt. John Moore,
    United States Marine Corps. IRAQ.

    Me too, I reported it as "Spam" without opening the e mail.
    This has been an amusing thread
    The difficulty is in recognising more subtle spammers and scammers
    I was relieved to be reassured Sir Keith is not a scammer , but he doesn't really have a knighthood, and he IS a scouser
