My Dearest
With due respect and humility I write you this letterwhich I believe you would be of great assistance to me and my children. I am Mrs.mercy Kone, the wife of the late Dr DAVID E. KONE Jr of blessed memory. Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel forces loyal to Corporal Foday Sankoh of the revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone. Few days before my husband was assassinated, he instructed me and my children (JAMES and SUSAN) to move out of Sierra-Leone and also to go in his underground strong room where the documents of money he has deposited in a security company in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire in one trunk box as family valuables and treasures with the name of my first son Mr JAMES KONE as the beneficiary. The amount is US$10.000.000 (TEN Million united states dollars). 
We managed to escape to Abidjan the Republic of Cote cote d'Ivoire through the help of my husband friend who is a trawler. As our travelling document was seized. I am now looking for a trustworthy and God fearing person who will handle this money for rapid profit for the future of my two fatherless children. For your information, the security company did not know the real content of the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is transferred to your account. As it was deposited as family valuables and treasures.
Meanwhile, I want to leave Cote d'Ivoire entirely for investment of this money in your country and mostly for the future of my children. I want you to please assist us to claim the box from the security company and to deposit the money in your account as to order the bank to transfer the money to your account in your country. As our foreign partner. We have it in mind to reward you with a certain percentage for your assistance. As soon as we hear from you.Finally please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is only myself my son, yourself and the Rev. pastor of the church where we worship knows  about this money. Please If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you  15 % Of the total fund. Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.please Through my private email box bellow for security reasons:mercy003fr@yahoo.ca

'Kindly'... give me your...

Generally the word 'kindly' is not used this way by english speaking people. Beware.

Fake cashiers checks.

A popular scam is for organized crime outfits to buy or print their own cashiers checks, money orders, and travelers checks?

  • Never take a check, money order or other forms of payment at face value unless it is from someone you know and have done business with before.
  • Only accept forms of money (tender) that can be verified
  • Always verify that the check is good with the institution it is drawn upon BEFORE making a deposit in your bank account.

  • The person below is based out of Canada, South Africa, and the United States. Multiple emails confirm that this person is in three separate countries on two continents all at the same time!

    NEVER MAKE CHANGE FOR A BUYER! This is the oldest check scam in the world. You deposit their check and send them the change...then their check bounces... While they walk to the bank with your money!
    Treat your business like a real business and verify that check are good before depositing them in your account! You would not take this check in your place of business why would even think about taking one through the mail.

    Special Greetings to you
    I am Mrs. Rose KABILA from democratic Republic of Congo. There is an information I would like you to keep very confidential. There is some amount of money my husband late president Laurent Kabila deposited in a security company in COTE D IVOIRE for safekeeping. Before his eldest military son killed him. The squabble happened as immediately we returned back from our London trip. My husband married us two. I am the second wife. I will not be able to give you the full details that led to that ugly incident. The eldest son is the current president of our country now. For now I am staying in Abidjan, the capital of the republic of COTE D IVOIRE just to save my life with my two children. The money in question is 22 million U.S dollars. I cannot make the withdrawal of this fund, because my husband registered the beneficiary of the fund as his foreign business partner and also family valuables as the content of the deposit. The documents of the deposit are with me. What I would want you to do is to assist me to get the consignment withdrawn from the security company you provide a new account for me in your name and transfer the money to your country through the account. We shall replace the name of the foreign partner to your own name because the code was used for security reason. I will give you 15% of the money for your assistance. There is no risk in this transaction. I would use the remaining balance of the money for an investment in your country for the future of my children.
    If you are interested and can maintain the confidentiality of this transaction,please email me immediately for more clarification. Also note that I am staying in Abidjan, cote d ivoire as a refugee because of the assassination of my late husband and the civil war going on in our country, democratic republic of Congo. I can speak English and my son also speaks English very well,
    Thank you very much,
    God bless

    And yet another attempt at bank fraud with the attatched sob story.


    From: EDDYMED
    Reply To: eddymed@hknetmail.com
    Good day,
    You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is that I am eddy, the first son of Zuma eddymed one of the most popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.
    Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$9.5 million (Nine million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security and finance company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this funds was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the security and finance company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
    It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where these funds could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them.
    I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security and finance company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
    I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the funds for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above E-mail address,while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
    Thanks, GOD BLESS
    Yours Faithfully,
    Mr.EDDYMED.

    Cleaning out American bank accounts, laundering drug money or laundering the spoils of war... This is a classic bank fraud with the poor me, poor me, sob story.

    URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAl
    Dear Sir,
    My names is Mr DONKAIN KULAR, the elder son of Mr. ANTHONY KULAR,of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from network on line,South African. During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers. My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days. And after his death, I with my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa. BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($25,000,000=00). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You should solicit for preliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited the money in your name and it can be pclaimed by you alone with the deposit code. your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your mother and brother." From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. I with my younger brother are now living in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such huge amount of money .In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 75% will be kept for me and my family .
    Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to your urgent reply .For detailed information. NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
    BEST REGARDS,
    MR DONKAIN KULAR, (FOR THE FAMILY

    Reply To: greg_martins2@yahoo.com Message: FROM THE DESK OF DR.GREG MARTINS. MANAGER BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPT. BANK OF AFRICA, OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO TELEPHONE; 00226 800441

    Dear Sir/madam,
    I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through the website your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. In an introduction of myself, I am Dr.Greg Martins. From the northern part of BURKINA-FASO working with the above  bank,Married with three kids but lost their mother some few years back ,you may ask why this unexpected letter which is normal I will want to seek your assistance after my discovery during auditing in the bank,I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foriegn Remittance Department of BANK OF AFRICA. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of usd$8,500,000.00(Eight million five hundred thousand dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in 31 October,1999 in a plane crash. Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to claim the money. Please keep this very confidential for more information about the crash plan and the person you can visit this website: http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm.    It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided as the head of my department 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't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. Do not view this as been illegal but to help people like us that have no hope in  life instead of the bank converting this much money to the security funds of the bank because if you dont assist us the bank will lay hold on this money. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.  I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free on both side and that you should not nurse any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of this funds and your acceptance is what will crown this effort. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter and don't fail to detail me with your contact numbers to enable me call you and detail you more. We can conclude this operation within 14 banking days based on the amount of coperation you will contribute. We have agreed that 25% of this money will be for you as the beneficiary in respect of the provision of your Account and services rendered. 65% would be for me and my collegues while 10% will be for expencses incured during the cause of the transaction. FOR SECURITY REASONS...LET YOUR RESPONSE BE SENT TO ME DIRECTLY VIA : (greg_martins3@yahoo.com) E-MAIL ACCOUNT ONLY. Please note this. I long to hear from you soon.

    I am interested in purchasing your Advertised .  please don't bother about shipping of the car, I will arrange a pick it up once payment is confirmed by you. Please acknowledge the offer and let me know if you ship to cotonou Benin Republic in Africa and if I can pay with a cheque drawn in an America bank. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately for me to arrange the payment and pick it up. Hope to hear from you soonest.
    Best regards,
    alan joseph
    NOTES: An interesting thing about online fraud is the cookie cutter writing style used. Messages in any email scam run are all the same except for details like the description of the item and email address. In 17 years I have never seen a buyer who types in the title of the ad exactly the same as it is on the listing. - This should be a clue to the seller as well as the fact that someone outside of the US wants to use a US cashiers check! - Also the this item was not even a car. The poor dope hired by the Nigerian Organized Crime syndicate who was trying to con the seller could not even read english well enough to know that it was not a car. - Andrew
