It’s not often that German freemail companies get misused for 419 scam types of e-mails. The Africans don’t usually speak the language and as such they don’t find their way around the sites.

Non the less, this one is obviously doing the 419 scam and is quoting an African, Okeke Frank as the contact man.

Now Frank’s e-mail address is from the French language version of Hotmail. So you can see that they certainly look for alternatives for their e-mail accounts.

George can’t be reached by phone because he is away in Japan for the next 6 months. Japan must be really backward, if they don’t have telephones…..

Here’s another one saying the money is deposited with an express delivery company. You only have to look at the e-mail address to see it’s a fake.

To:

Dear Friend,

Good day, I have been waiting for you since to come down here and pick your Bank Draft but did not heard from you since that
time. I went to the bank to confirm whether the draft is getting close to expire and the director of the bank told me that
before the draft will get to your address, that it will expire. Then I told him to help me and cash the cashier bank draft of
$1,200,000,00 (One Million Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars), Us Dollars to cash payment,
However, I have successfully cashed the draft and packaged it in a box and have registered it in the GLOBAL SECURITY OURIER
SERVICE COMPANY (GES) here in Benin Republic because I will travell to see my boss and will not come back till next month
end,

You have to contact the GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER SERVICE COMPANY (GES) FOR YOUR PACKAGE to know when they will deliver your package to your address. I have paid for the delivering charges ok.
Here is GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER Contact Address;
Telephone Number, +22997046911
MR.HENRY JECOBS
E-mail:( express.courier49@yahoo.fr )

Please, Send them your contacts information to able them locate you immediately they arrived in your country with your BOX ,
This is the information they need from you,

1. YOUR FULL NAME.
2. YOUR HOME ADDRESS.
3. YOUR CURRENT MOBILE NUMBER.
4. YOUR CURRENT OFFICE TELEPHONE.
5. A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE.

Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid increasing the security keeping fees. I gave them your delivering address
but you have to reconfirm it to them again to avoid any mistake in the delivery,

Note; I didn’t tell the GLOBAL SECURITY COURIER SERVICE COMPANY (GES) that the box contained money, I registered it as a
package of an African cloths. This is to avoid delaying or any upfront problem during the delivery, So do not let them know
that the package contains money, Do let me know as soon as you received your package.

You will get in touch with me through e-mail as my phone is no longer available now that I am out from our country.
