It’s amazing how many African banks have deceased or abandoned accounts isn’t it?

Now Joseph says he discovered the cash at his bank and now he says he has put the money in an Escrow account.

He says if I allow him to name me as the beneficiary there will be no risk. Sounds good doesn’t it? What he means is, he has absolutely no risk of being caught robbing people’s money.

I am also willing to invest my own part of the money into any moving business in your country after the accomplishment of this project.

There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank to bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that our head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.
I have finalized all plans to transfer this money out and waiting for your coperation to make it work.

I will get 70% While you take 30%.

Dating and Social Networks are very popular with African crooks. They obviously target men and this e-mail is exactly the same kind of strategy.

Get a man interested, offer him a deal and take it from there.

A lottery crook comments on Crime Online

This morning I was notified of a comment waiting for moderation. The poster calls himself Dr. Evan Williams. he must have gotten that name from a bottle of whiskey.

The funny thing about this comment, was the fact that he said it was the bad victims who couldn’t reach the claiming requirements and complained they didn’t get any money.

Isn’t it shame there are so many bad people about these days?

Seriously, this must be an all time first. At least it is on Crime Online.

A 419/Lottery crook comments on an anti fraud website.

That must be the joke of the day!

Of course, the scam e-mails are sent out translated to other languages other than English. The African and other crooks have recognised that that there is potential in countries where English is not the main language.

The contact e-mail is translated to the target language, but other than that the rest of the scam is done in English. The crooks mostly are not able to talk or correspond in languages other than English. This is a weak point in the strategy which makes the effort to reach non-English speaking victims much harder. Fortunately, that is.

In the past, the crooks used software translators which do not produce natural translations. This message however is readable although the grammer and translation are not 100%. It is enough to get by on.

If it is enough for critical German readers, remains to be seen.

This one is a rehash of the “I’m the son/daughter of a wealthy cocoa merchant from the Ivory coast and my father was poisoned by his partners” story. You see I almost fit it into one sentence …

Dearest one,

l know this mail will come as a surprise to you. I have a proposal for you to this project however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss Linda Jerry 24years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Jerry Richard. My father was a highly reputable farmer (a cocoa merchant) in cote d’ ivories during his days.

It is sad to say that he was poisoned and passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 15th. OCT 2007.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his brother, my uncle who traveled with him at that time.

But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.

Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune (his death) He called me and explained to me the reason why he will make this trip and also told me that he deposited a trunk box that contain($ 8.500.000.00 Million US Dollars) in a Bank there in Abidjan Ivory Coast and that this money is for an investment purpose overseas.

He gave me the certificate that he used for the deposit of the fund and other vital documents of his asset, after his death l went to the Bank and establish ownership of the fund. Now l need your assistance to move this fund to your country for investment as that has been my late father’s aim before his death. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

Can you honestly help me receive the said fund, what will you like to take as your commission to assist me in this project?

Please can you kindly arrange a letter of invitation to enable me migrate to your country after this fund might have lodge into your account? Are you ready to help and pay all charges to the bank for the transfer of the fund to your account. If this proposal arouse your interest kindly contact me back with my email address immediately.

Thanks for your Understanding

Anticipat Your Cooperation.
