Here’s a classic mistake a lot of the African crooks make. They send a message which does not agree with the e-mail account sending it.

Now I for one, would not believe a tale like this one for just for that reason.
On the other hand, why would anybody who had Mikhail Khordokovsky’s money in his possession need me to help transfer his cash anywhere? They would already have all the right contacts without needing to resort to someone like myself if that was true.

A third point, Mikhail Khordokovsky, the former boss of Yukos Oil Company, is interned somewhere in Siberia and is no longer an important business man (oligarch).

I got this one in the post today. It goes to proove that occasionally the crooks do invest some money to get their message out.  The scammers have spent 0,60 € plus costs for paper and envelope, not to mention the time needed to print it and package it. Of course, they must have taken a whole pile of letters to the post office, so I would reckon they spent something like 2 to 3 Euros on each letter.

Even with these costs, they will get a better response in comparison to E-Mail.

They are doing the “next of kin” story on this one and have customized it with my surname to make it fit the story. Just click on the letter to the left and take a full size look at it on Flickr.

One of our readers reported a scam website being used to convince potential victims, that there is really an account with money in it.

The weakness of the crooks having their own domain (in this case http://www.bbplc-uk.com/uk/index.htm) is simply the fact that to own a domain you have to give details to the registry, such as name and address. These crooks are hiding behind PrivacyProtection.org, which hides such information in the registry database with it’s own information.

This works as long as nobody reports the website being used for online crime. But, of course, we did just that today, didn’t we.

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.

Subject: I write you most humbly
To: undisclosed-recipients

Dear friend,
I write you most humbly, keenly and above all with a high sense of
confidentiality !I consider you as one bestowed with a great love and
compassion for the downtrodden, the less-privileged as well as those
who are passing through the ugly side of life. In respect of my friend
of the blessed memory who was the pioneer founder and president of
Child Hope Foundation (CHF) whose demise took on in the year 2000. He
was also a Managing Director of an investment firm here in Ghana.
Child Hope Foundation (CHF) is a non-profit making, non-religious,
charitable, non governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the
welfare and care of all children especially orphans, children with
single parents, children living with various forms of disabilities and
impairments.

Vis a vis the late pioneer founder and president of Child Hope
Foundation (CHF) whose surname eventually is same with yours, it is
therefore of germane necessity that I intimate you of the sum of
Eighty two million US dollars ($82M USD) belonging to him and
deposited with International Commercial Bank (ICB) Ltd. Ghana.

The ICB Ltd. of Ghana contacted me as the Director and at same time a
Trustee of the Foundation to recommend a next of kin who can have
access and control over these funds. By this means, I may wish that
you act as the legitimate next of kin so as to receive the said amount
into your account with the pledge that you will also remit back 60 %
of the total amount for the Child Hope Foundation (CHF) and have 40%
for yourself. However, you may feel free to extend to me any token
from your offer as an expression of goodwill and appreciation.

Besides there is a recurring grant in the amount of USD 500,000.00
yearly that has accrued to the Child Hope Foundation (CHF) that has
not been paid since the year 2001 and which is due for payment by the
18th December, 2008.This has been in effect since the year 2001 and
has amounted to the sum of US $4,000,000.00 to be cashed on the above
dated day this December, 2008.

Without further delay, indicate your disposition in this my
confidential appeal to enable us sustain our charity work for these
needy children around the world.
With your notification of interest on this development, few
requirements shall be made from you that will be sent to the bank to
enable them facilitate disbursement of the funds in to your account.

With the assurances of my regards and confidence!

Sincerely,
Rev. Nicole Hills

NB: Kindly reply me through my personal email address at
rv.nicolehills@gmail.com it is very important to reply only on this
email. Thanks for your cooperation

This is unusual as it is in both English and, I suspect, Spanish.

The story goes someone is claiming to be my representative and the
crooks need my confimation that she really is my proxy. Of course, she
is not and that is what they are counting on. I should call them to
clear up the situation, I think.

This e-mail goes to great detail to explain what the crooks want to do. Now the funny thing about it, is fact that the deceased’s personal details are kept anonymous. They only go on to say that he had the same surname. It is written so that the e-mail would fit anybody who receives it.

Reading the text you get the impression it has been written by an educated person with a good command of the English language. It’s a far cry from the usual mumbo jumbo and semi-official language which is often used in other messages.

Subject: I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE
To: undisclosed-recipients

Standard Life Bank,
30 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh EH1 2DH
EMAIL ;stew_bar22uk@yahoo.com.hk

Good day,

I am Stewart Barculo, Staff of Standard Life Bank Limited.

I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he
placed under our banks management Eight years ago. I would respectfully
request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect
the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed
of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts
that I believe would be of interest to you. In 2000, the subject matter;
came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private
banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of
Fifty million united states dollars, which he wished to have us turn over
(invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made
numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief
operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the
volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous
occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to
consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my
advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional
stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments.
Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and
made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued
profit and interest stood at this point at over ten million United States
Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired
low risk guaranteed returns on investments.

In mid 2001, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United
Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a
security firm. I informed him that Standard Life Bank would have to make
special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due
process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to
cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges
but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task
he was asking of us. Cash movement across boarders has become especially
strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the
funds available to the security firm. I undertook all the processes and
made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the
funds deposited with the security firm. The Security Firm is a specialist
private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and
blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake
transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly
private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and
well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was
deposited with the security firm.

The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his
arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we
had, this transpired around 25th February 2003.In June last year, we got a
call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that
particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was
concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was
the only one who knew about the deposit at the security firm, and I could
not understand why the deceased had not come forward to claim his deposit.
I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the
task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Standard
Life Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently
our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead
of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.

We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was
confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible
surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come
forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking
affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but
also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his
bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking,
opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence,
accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to
make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors
of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring
that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they
nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating
next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this
case; the deceased died without a testate. In line with our internal
processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own
investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim
the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We
have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate
companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that
resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of
the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to
supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of
the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we
have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the
full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the
deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.

According to practice, The Security Firm will by the end of this financial
year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Standard Life Bank,
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the
deposit back to Standard Life Bank. This will result in the money entering
the Standard Life Bank accounting system and the portfolio will be out of
my hands and out of the private banking division. This will not happen if
I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical
practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to
the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world
aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge
rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain
portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general
direction of what I propose. There is Fifty Million Dollars deposited in a
security firm, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the
deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the
existence of this deposit for as far as Standard Life Bank is concerned,
the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to
the security firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file
are just customer services and due process. The security Firm has no
single idea of what’s the history or nature of the deposit. They are
simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that
comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of
money trying to track this man’s family; they have investigated for months
and have found no family.

The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; you share the same surname with our late client; I am
prepared to place you in a position to instruct the security Firm to
release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt
of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That
is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release
the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to
ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line
to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand,
you with the same very name as the original depositor would easily pass as
the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the
deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank
of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then
officially communicate with The Security Firm and instruct them to release
the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done.

The alternative would be for us to have The Security Firm direct the funds
to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need
for you to think of receiving the money from The Security Company. We can
fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences
of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that
you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and
destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and
forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not
approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like me who have
made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking
sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good
conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my
industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come
ones’ way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for
once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t
pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work
with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me.
I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new
opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well
worth undertaking.

I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you
refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows
of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has
planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s share the
blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through
this email account stew_bar22uk@yahoo.com.hk if you give me positive
signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to
inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny
knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting
me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through
my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will
provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want any
direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as
they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in
line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this
instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a
wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as
to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is
nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter
of gold.

This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do
not betray my confidence.

Kindly send your response to my private email address:

I Await Your Response.
