You have to give to the Africans. They certainly know how to write messages in semi official language.

What makes me wonder is, why do people answer this kind of message when it talks about money from Nigeria being held back by the FBI?

I would most people would be scared out of their wits if the FBI suggested they may be doing anything illegal.

  2. Joseph,

    stop contacting these people now!

    You will never get any money from them.

    This is just a trick to get money from you.

    Michael

  3. JOSEPH says:

    there’s no fraud commission to stop those people?

  4. Joseph, that’s the problem. The crooks are hard to get, because they always work internationally.

    There is no organisation which coordinates any efforts to catch these people across borders. Reporting fraud cases of this kind to your local police is a waste of time. They have no way to be able to catch the crooks in other countries.

    That’s why it’s easier to just delete the messages and forget them.

    It’s important that people can recognise a fraudulent e-mail when they see it. That way they won’t lose any money.

    Michael

  5. Cheenu J says:

    Hi Joseph,

    I got slightly jolted by this email too, seeing the current climate of suspicion of innocent bystanders and potential legal problems this could entail. However, I was quite certain this was a scam and in my email included that this suspicion, as well as a request for further information and different mode of query, i.e. through my bank.

    When faced for an internet scam, look for the following, as you will most probably find some:
    1.) Grammatical and spelling mistakes, most oftenly common ones. In this case one obvious one is “Secret diplomatic payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities why must your payment be made in secret transfer”. There should be a comma after the word ‘activities’ or otherwise, “why must your…” should be a separate sentence.

    2.) Typing mistakes or error of form. If this was an official letter from the F.B.I., you would expect that it is void of mistakes. Look at the capitalisation of certain words in the middle of the sentence (e.g. Has and Stopped). Furthermore, all acronyms (with the exception of those referring to latin expressions, for example i.e. is id est) are capitalised, especially if the represent an organisation. In other words, f.b.i. as they put it in their letter, would officially read F.B.I.

    3.) Lastly, look for incongruences in logic or mode of operation. In this case example, there is no reason for which they would contact individuals to their home email address on such a serious issue. On the contrary, the FBI would have the right to contact your bank, who in turn would contact you. The use of personal (hotmail, gmail, yahoo) email accounts, does not seem to be the appropraite course of action for such a serious matter.

    Hope this helps in the future.

    Cheenu

  6. Cheenu,

    that is a great explanation of what to look out for in the FBI scam emails.

    Many thanks

    Hello there…

    I was a victim too … and I even sent them my copy of my ID and Pasport! How stupid is that? I never ever have answered some e-mails like this before but this time it was like there was a kind of a spell in it… and it all look familliar and … well to be honest i was a member of Free Lotto but i quit this… and then I got this e-mail about the same company… so… I did inform all local Police Offices… I hope I did write… and maybe it is sad that I did answered back… I feel sad too and like someone slapped me in my face… I always have been carefull with this… but this time… i dont know… something happened…

    I hope I will come safe out of this…

    Wish u all good luck for thoose who have got the same problem… cause u are not the only one…

    Sunshine

  8. Sunshine says:

    I forgot to notify myself of followup comments via e-mail.

  9. Hi Sunshine,

    as long as you did not send them any money, you should be ok. There is not much they can do with your ID’s. They ususally are only interested in getting fast money which is also paid voluntarily by the victims.

    Sadly enough, that happens a lot.

    Hi guys an thanks for the heads up.I’m a type of guy who looks into things first before leaping.I’m glad I googled this site up and read what you guys had to say about these scams.I work hard for my money and I would have been VERY upset to find out that for one…I’m not getting the money I was promised…two poeple are trying to deceive me and take money that I DO NOT have…and 3rd the very final mistake of giving me a false sense of hope that I can help people not only that I know and that is around me but PEOPLE in the whole world PERIOD! These people are deceitful demons that loves money and everything shiny and they need to be stopped.So thank you everyone for your great incite and advise.

  11. Radaryn,

    Thank You the information on these people,They are trying to pull me in this foolish mess.

  13. You are welcome, William.

    They do keep on trying.

  14. kevin mcdowell says:

    i RECEIVED THE SAME EMAIL EXCEPT THERE IS ACTUAL DEPOSIT PENDING ON HOLD IN MY BANK ACCOUNT FOR 888,000,000 DOLLARS. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY BANK AND ITS STILL THERE SHOWING UP WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

  15. Kevin,

    did I read that right? 888 Million USD?

    That can only be a fake. They will ask for money to free the transfer, but it will never go through.

    This looks as though somebody at the originating bank is in on this scam.

    Hello Andre,

    It was nice to talk to you on the telephone. I am really looking forward to having a good and sincere relationship.

    I was at the bank today and they confirmed the existence of the funds and asked that we appoint a lawyer here so that the funds can be transferred legally and approved by the government of my country and yours.

    I have attached the documents used in depositing the funds and also the agreement with the bank for your understanding.

    This is the contact of the lawyer below.

    REV BARR EDWARD STONE

    TEL +225 48700541

    EMAIL/ edwardstone990@yahoo.com

    Do contact the lawyer immediately so that we can begin the transfer process. As soon as the transfer is completed. I will begin my travel arrangements so that I can join you immediately.

    Hope to hear from you soonest.

    Yours truly,

  17. Aida says:

    I have been a victim of these F.B.I. emails. I have received two occurrences. Is there any way I can send these to you so you can read them? The second one was more vicious that if I did not comply, I would be hunted down and jailed. Yeah, scary. I took it to the police where in turn filed a complaint with the RCMP(Canada). I don’t know why they think I am from the US, I am from Canada, but I would sure like some peace of mind on this.

  18. Aida,

    yes the FBI mails are designed to scare people into cooperating. But just like all of the African and other scams, you can safely ignore them.

    The reason why? It’s simple, the FBI does not send mails like this to anyone, US citizen or not.
