it is just an imaginary organisation used to base this story upon.
There is also an online game with this name.

According to Wikipedia, this is the definition of “Diplomatic Corps”:

The diplomatic corps or corps diplomatique is the collective body of
foreign diplomats accredited to a particular country or body.

That means they do not have any dealings with “clients”.

Here we go with a typical lost or suspended account. Doing a quick research I was not able to find an prominent “Eward Merril” which would fit the deceased account story which is being used here.

This is unusual in that the crooks like to quote press releases which give their stories some creedance.

The person calling himself William Zuma says he is from South Africa. Now that could be true, but it is hard to prove. To tell the truth, it’s not all that important, because to run the Advanced Fee scam the crooks don’t actually have to be in the country they claim to come from.

Dear Sir/Madam

I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition, which is by nature very confidential and a top secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one worried and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as all will be well at the end of this endeavor.

I am William Xhozi Zuma, Client Service Manager of one of the prime banks in Johannesburg South Africa, my partners and I have decided to seek your help in the transfer of some amount of money requiring maximum confidence from my bank. A foreigner, Late Dr. Edward Merrill, who was an oil merchant and contractor was our customer here at our bank and had a balance of US$106 million which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary .

So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives more because he left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank and he has no known relatives . Due to this development our management and the board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed, returned to South Africa being the point of origin and subsequently paid into the Reserve Bank purse. Usually, funds of this nature end up in the greedy pockets of some politicians due to our corrupt society.

To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Dr. Merrill, so that the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you come in. Whereby you cannot come here in person for this transaction, we shall make arrangement with a qualified and reliable attorney that will represent you in liaising with my bank for inconveniency of you coming to my country.

All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 20% of the total sum. Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. Thank you very much for your time.

I wait anxiously for your response via secure email id: zumawills@yahoo.com.

Yours truly,

William Zum

Dear Partner,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.

This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character.

I will introduce myself as Mrs. Rachael Morgan.Kazeem Barker. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries “OPEC”. He has worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the year 2003, as a result of one of our son’s brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my culture is against.

However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband’s relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have nowhere to go to, so I decided to go back to my motherland to stay with my family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get myself organized and carter for my children.

Before my husband died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the secretary of OPEC with a finance house in oversea. We have interest in Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture etc.Please, I hereby request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it.

Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house in oversea. I don’t want my husband’s relatives to know about this development.

Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.

In a short time, I will arrange a meeting with you and my eldest son who will accompany you to the finance house office where the investment fund is deposited by his late father for easy claim and quick transfer.

My Eldest son will be assisting me to facilitate this transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds claimed and transfer into your account.

I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. Also, I will forward to you my personal information for recognition and trust before you proceed contact with the Finance house.

Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction. 

You are to contact me via this private email addresses only for security rmorgan01@rediffmail.com,rmorgan@live.com

Yours in Sincerely,
Mrs. Rachael M. K.Barker.

Just this morning, I was reading about money laundering in a German magazine. It stated “In compliance with anti money laundering laws, German banks reported more than 10,000 cases of suspicious transfers to and from customer accounts in 2006″.

That is a lot of suspicious transactions!

I am sure that the most of the cases reported were too conscientiously vetted by the banks. As there are no hard and fast rules which say what suspicious transactions are.

What would be considered suspicious is easy to explain. First of all, the amount of money being  transfered is important. Whereby not only the individual transfers would be considered, but also the sums transfered over a period of time would mark an account as suspicious. This would be especially so, when an account started receiving unusual transactions above and beyond it’s usual turnover.

Where transfers come from and/or go to could also mark an account as suspicious. Strangely enough, top of the list of suspicious countries by transfers to European accounts is the US and it’s not surprising to see Russia by transfers out.

One of the methods being used by crooks and drug rings to cover money laundering activities is the Transfer Agent Job offer. Just like the one offered in this e-mail.

As money laundering laws are in place in most countries, you run the risk of being arrested by taking up any job like this. Sooner or later, it’s you who will feel the brunt of the law bearing down on you and not the crooks behind it.

380 Kensington High Street, London, United Kingdom , London,
Mobile: +447024068845 or +447031908923

My name is Mr. Billy Wood I am an Artist and a consultant. I live in UK, with my three kids, two cats, one dog and the love of my life i.e. my wife. It is definitely a full house and I have been doing Artworks since I was young. That made me heard about 18 years experience in the profession. I have a major in Art in high school and took a few College Art Courses. Most of my works are done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils, which I have recently added to make my work more presentable to world. I design and create artwork on the .computer too. I have been selling my artworks for the past 4 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints, dallies, magazines and others. I have sold my artworks in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans and British’s and people in some other countries of the world, they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE and Other Forms of Negotiable Instruments, which is difficult to be cashed here in UK.

I am looking for a representative in the STATE or UK and other countries of the World who will be working for me as a per time worker and I will be willing to pay the person 10% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. I mean someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the STATE or UK and Other Countries of the world. I need a good person who is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive for me and I am working on setting up a branch in the STATE and UK, so for now I need a representative in the United states and UK who will be handling the payment aspect for me. These payments are neither going to be coming in form of a MONEY ORDER, TRAVLLERS CHECKS, PERSONAL CHECK or BUSINESS CHECKS.

These payments will becomefrom my clients to you and your name and address will be affected on any of the negotiable instruments my clients are paying you with ok. So all
you need to do is to cash the PAYMENTS, deduct your said percentage and send the balance of the money back to us through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to any place I will have to instruct you to do that. But the problem I have is Trust and Honesty, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I will contact the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) branch in Washington to get that person tracked down before the next 48hours. These payments from my clients will be sent to you through FEDEX or UPS. Once you have cashed the payment there, you’re meant to deduct your 10% and send the balance to me via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.And if not interested dont bother to reply.

Thanks
Regards,

Mr. Billy Wood

This message from a GI serving in Iraq is hardly real. I don’t want to say that this cannot happen, because Iraq and the US have show us several cases which shouldn’t have occurred.

In this case, the language is wrong. A GI does not write or speak like Europeans, and especially not like Africans. Although the writer tries to keep his language more western.

Things like "superior" should be "Commanding officer", "Squad Leader". Or the word "juncture", for example, is hardly know in the US vocabulary. And what "petit officers" are I have no idea. If he means a "petty officer", this is not a phrase used by GI’s.

This is an original story, but full of mistakes.

Dear Friend

My name is Sgt.Irvin Shawn i am an American soldier, serving in the military with the Third (3rd) infantry Division in Iraq. I and my superior after going on a rampage on Saddam Hussein palace in Baghdad discovered a substantial amount of money. You may need to check out the following BBC website to confirm more of our discovery which was made know to the government, but this particular one is a top secret:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

This fund in question was moved to a secure place with the assistance of our contact person in UK (A private attorney of our UK military colleague); the total is $25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five million US dollars).Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep these funds in our bank account. It is on this juncture that we decided to seek your assistance to keep this money for us in your account or an offshore account controlled by you.

There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested I will send you the full
details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? To ensure confidentiality, when you receive this letter, kindly reply me via e-mail signifying your interest including your confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also your contact details for identification

You can see photo of counting involving some petit officers in my unit.
