Yesterday, I received the following e-mail:
 ———- Forwarded message ———- From: James Milner <jamesmilner_uk1@yahoo.com> Date: Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 10:23 AM Subject: Job Opportunity ………….. This is NO joke ! To:
A new job opening, If you are interested, kindly reply immediately. This space is opened till the 9th of April, 2008
NB: REPLY DIRECTLY TO ME HERE: - JAMESMILNER_UK@HOTMAIL.COM
Even though I have a lot of experience with job offers which come in to my e-mail account I was intrigued by this one. Obviously anyone looking for extra cash would be tempted to take a closer look at what is being offered. I didn’t want to let this go without knowing what is behind it, so I sent of a reply using my Crime-Online.info e-mail address.
I must admit I was not disappointed. Behind this e-mail is a typical Transfer Agent Scam. You will soon see what I mean because this morning I got the following answer:  ———- Forwarded message ———- From: James Milner <jamesmilner_uk@hotmail.com> Date: Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 11:50 PM Subject: Job Details ! To:
Thanks so much for your prompt response.We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to customers (usually through FEDEX or DHL). After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through US Certified Checks and Money orders based on the amount involved and it takes 14 days or more to clear outside USA .We have decided to open this new job position for solving this problem.
Your tasks or duties are:
1. Receive payment from Customers 2. Cash Payment at your Bank 3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed 4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to.(Payment is to be forwarded by Money Gram money transfer services OR Western Union Money Transfer).
This will give us a possibility to get customer’s payment almost immediately. For example,you’ve got 3000.00USD as payment for services from a customer, you take your income: 300.00 USDi.e 10%.Send to us: 2700.00 USD.First month,you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USD so you may calculate your income.For example 18 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 4400.00 USD Plus your basic monthly salary is 2000.00 USD Total: 6400.00 USD per month. After establishing a close co-operation with us,you we will be able to operate with larger orders and you will be able to earn more.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed in your bank. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You will have a lot of free time doing another job, you will get good income and a regular job.But this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be of an earnest assistant. We are glad to offer this job position to you.
Kindly email and answer the question below so we can get started.
** What is ur full name that will be on the payment. ** What is ur phone number? cell and home phone. ** What is ur full address where the check will be sent to. ** Do you have a bank account to cash Money Orders or Cashiers check?
I await your response.
Thank you. James Milner Director/CEO, Arts and Crafts Inc.
It sounds easy doesn’t it?
The problem is, anyone taking up this “job offer” is an essential part of money laundering which the crooks need to get their hands on clean cash. Within a short time the “customers” who have sent checks or money orders will complain because they have not received the ordered goods. Who do they go to with their complaints? The Agent who received the check or money order, of course.
Usually, the agent tries to clear up any misunderstandings and tries to get clarification from Mr. Milner. He, of course, says the orders have been sent out. Which is not true because there are no products!
Eventually the customers will report the matter to the police. The Mr. Milners behind this scam are safe and sound as they hide behind false names and freemail accounts. They are usually located in other countries and they have no risk but get maximum profit at the expense of others.
It’s the local “Transfer Agent” who will be held liable by the law because he is the person who cashed in the checks. He is also the one who is immediately identifiable.
The “Agent” will receive criminal charges for fraud and money laundering and anything else the law can come up with.
There have been enough people who have been stung by this kind of scam and end up with a criminal record.
So my advice to you is to trash any message you may receive offering an easy job.
You will be better off if you do!

There is no Kuwaiti Embassy in the Ivory Coast, so the first paragraph is a lie.
We have seen this story, so often from so many different people, that we can say without a doubt, that the rest is a lie too.
———- Forwarded message ———- From: Morine Silver <mor_sil4@yahoo.com> Date: Jan 19, 2008 10:15 AM Subject: Donation From Mrs Morine Silver To: mor_sil4@yahoo.com
From Mrs Morine Silver N°38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody Abidjan,Cote d’Ivoire mor_sil4@yahoo.com
ATTN: DEAREST ONE OF GOD
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Benson Silver. who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspence account.
Presently,the fund is still with the bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that,disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows,propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I don’t want them to know about this development.. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Contact me on the above e_mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs Morine Silver.

Apart from the fact that this message is written in capital letters, the spelling and grammer are abysmal. Someone who has earned the title of “Doctor” before their name, would normally be fluent in the english language, even if they went to an African university.
So it’s easy to see that this was written by some semi illiterate person trying to make a quick profit on the internet with a fraudulent offer.

Ever since Mikhail Khordokovsky was put in jail (or better said a labour camp somewhere in Siberia) this message has been seen quite often.
Of course, anyone knowing who Mikhail Khordokovsky is will know of the wealth he had and a story like this one could be taken as true.
Rest assured it is, as usual, just the bait for unsuspecting victims.
My advice?
Just delete it and forget it.

Reading this e-mail you might ask yourself “When did I have anything to do with an inheritance from Africa?”.
This question might prompt you to answer the message or call Mr. Engineer Uri to tell him he made a mistake, as you have never had any dealings with Africa.
That’s basically what they want you to do. That way they have a chance to get you to play their game.
Once you are on board, the scam begins …

There really is a David Mark who is the president of the Senate in Nigeria. Search Engine results show David Mark is not unknown to corruption.
You will find more on him in this page of search results “David Mark”+Nigeria.
This message however is not from him.
As usual the Nigerian crooks have looked for a story or background which fits in with the stories they tell. David mark is just a good name to use.
The e-mail address <senate2008ng@yahoo.es> shows this is not an official message. It’s a 419 scam message as usual.
———- Forwarded message ———- From: Office Of The Senate House Date: Jan 12, 2008 6:07 PM Subject: **************IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD. 12/01/08************** To: undisclosed-recipients
OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT (RESOLUTIONPANEL ON CONTRACT PAYMENT) IKOYI-LAGOS NIGERIA E-mail: senatehouseng@live.com
FILE CODE #: ATM/LAG/NG
ATTN: BENEFICIARY,
IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD.
In close consultation with the World Bank, IMF and the European Union (EU), this is to notify you of your enlistment as a beneficiary of a recent Debt Management and Settlement Forum organized on the status of global arrangement to have your beneficiary fund settled once and for all. Of course, In the hope that you must have been aware of the past financial leakages in the European foreign inheritance payment system, and frustrations associated there from in your last attempt to claim the fund, wherein fund beneficiaries (like your self) was subjected to unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks in lieu of claiming funds due them. The World Body, having solicited and received the cooperation of Nigerian Presidency, in harmonizing the sequence of payments, have discovered from records of outstanding foreign inheritance fund beneficiaries due them, that your name and payment has been with held and remain unpaid as a result of such bottleneck. On the prompting of this finding, I wish to officially notify you that all aspects of your payment claim is being harmonized, enabling payment to be released to you as urgently as you act on the instructions of this mail.
Consequently, Afribank Nigeria Plc has been directed by the World Body to off set these outstanding debts, using ATM Swift Card payment arrangement. Already, a total amount of US$500 Million has been provided to the bank for this purpose and it is on first come first serve. With this arrangement, I wish to inform you that Afribank Nigeria Plc has been instructed to issue in your name an ATM Cash Card with the valued amount of US$10.5M. In paying this amount to you, please note that it is without Prejudice to your original inheritance sum. Rather, it is a stop-gap payment arrangement put in place by the World Body to on the one hand ensure that you receive part of your fund, while on the other hand ensure that the process is smooth and without any form of stress whatsoever, whereas a comprehensive arrangement shall be made in future to pay off the remaining fund due you.
However, we are worried with the counter information received from one Mr. Jack Law, purporting to be from your directive, with express instruction to activate the ATM Cash Card for release of fund to his name a bank account in the “Cayman Islands” Obviously, we are hesitant to honor this instruction as it were, and would request that you clarify same upon your contact with Afribank Nigeria Plc . In addition to that, you should provide the bank with the following details to forestall any mistake of issuing the ATM Card with the wrong information already submitted by Mr. Jack Law:
(1) Your full names, address, phone, fax and Cell numbers (up to date) for ease of contact (2) Beneficiary name for activation of your ATM CARD.
Believing that this arrangement will suit your condition and expectations, we will therefore request for your expedited response to avoid any more delay. Your response should be directed to Afribank Nigeria Plc , Attention: Dr. David William ; Director Atm Payment Dept through his official email address: atmdeptafribank3@yahoo.es ,Tel/fax: 234-1-4720582 ,Your file reference code for your payment is ATM/LAG/NG and should be quoted in your contact mail to the bank otherwise the bank will not recognize/process your ATM Swift Payment.
