Crime Online

This e-mail shows that the crooks actually do research for their scam e-mails.

The message here is the well known “I have discovered an abandoned account. Let’s share the money.” kind. so far so good.

If you look at the end of the message, you will find this link:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Banking/
Betterbanking/P123123.asp?GT1=6704

Which just happens to point to a detailed article about lost funds and monies.

This a prime example of how these people use any method they can to add a serious touch to their efforts of catching unsuspecting victims.

This is for your attention

Through some discreet search from my local chambers of commerce and having obtained your contact from the internet, you and your organization were revealed as being quite astute in Entrepreneurship. One has no doubt in your ability to handle an international business of considerable TRUST, which may form the bedrock of an extensive business partnership in the future.

Proposition:

Presently in my bank here in the United Kingdom we have an estate, which has remained unclaimed since 1999. And the estate will be converted to UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT and therefore forfeited if nobody comes forward to lay claim to the deposit before the end of this financial quarter, as is the practice and also indicated in the EU banking guidelines. This is why I am contacting you.

I now seek your understanding to present you as the new beneficiary and help salvage the deposit to avoid forfeiture. Do not be bothered as I will carefully and legally work out all necessary documents in your favor as the new Beneficiary to the Deposit.

All the papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to my private email or fax numbers below. Your letter of acceptance, your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of the deposit to you, amounting to US$5.5million.

I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

Yours Sincerely,

This one is the typical “don’t feel sorry for me” scam e-mail. It’s used to target a different type of person as the usual Lottery or other type of scam message.

Greetings.



As you read this, don’t feel sorry for me, because it is the destiny of everyman to die someday. I am Mr. David Weir a business merchant in the United Kingdom. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I regret that I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself), but my trade. Though I am fortunate to be very well to do, I was never open handed; I was always hostile to people and regarded them like they never had hopes of becoming as successful as myself. Now I know that there is alot more to life than just prosperity.



I believe that when I am given a second chance to come to this world, I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that death is eminent, I have willed and given most of my belonging to immediate and extended family members, as well as a few close friends. I want god to be merciful to me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity work; this is what i want to be remembered for. So far, I have been able to reach out to charity organizations here in the U.K and a few in U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.



I once asked members of my family to aid me in giving of alms to those organizations catering for the less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan; but they refused and kept the resources to themselves. I have come to a point where i have decided to not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them. The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the huge deposit of eigteen milion US dollars that I have in a safe keeping company, which I will want you to secure and bestow to charity organizations.



Please endeavour to reply me on my confidential email address of daveweir2003@aol.com  for intimacy to this effect and further details. For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you.



Best regards,

David Weir.

Government. We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and to most of us this is a lifetime Opportunity we cannot afford to miss. To get this fund paid into your account, we have to present a Payment Invoice from a foreign establishment like yours. With this invoice, we will seek approval to transfer the fund within 9 banking days through the APEX BANK to your designated Bank Account. I and one of my colleague involved in this deal will come to Your country to arrange for our share upon the confirmation from you that the money has been credited into your nominated Bank Account. Consequently upon your acceptance of my proposal, kindly confirm your interest by revert mail to the above e/mail address It will surprise you why we choose you and trusted you for this transaction. Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and business like this cannot be realized without trust. This is why we have decided to trust you for this transaction.

These e-mails are quite amusing. On the one hand the so called lawyer is openly soliciting your assistance with an illegal deed, on the other hand he wants you to be an honest partner. That sure is a moral contradiction. Somehow I don’t believe the person calling them self Andrew Henderson is worried about trivial details like that.
