If you take a look at Wikipedia you will find an entry about Mr. Brumley. He was quoted to be a philanthropist and he died with several family members in a plane crash in 2003.
Now obviously this background is ideal for 419 scam crooks to misuse this information to put a bogus story about “lost” money in deepest Africa. Seeing that e-mails quoting money in Ouagadougou come in almost every day here, it does seem a favourite location for stories like this.

THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED UNCLAMED AFTER FIVE YEARS, THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER, AND A BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER. WE AGREE THAT 30 % OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10 % WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 60 % WOULD BE FOR ;ME AND MY WOMAN COLLEAGUE.

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.

Here’s a popular story which is used often used by the African crooks. Andreas Schranner, who died in the Concorde crash in Paris, is the person who allegedly left some money in an account in, yes you guessed it, in OUAGADOUGOU!
Needless to say the story about abandoned money is not true.

Here’s another scam message from OUAGADOUGOU. This time the crooks are quoting Andreas Schranner as the owner of the abandoned account.
If you have been following Crime Online at all, you will know that Andreas Schranner is often used in this type of message. It’s easy to confirm that there ever was somebody with that name. There is even a link to the BBC report on the Plane crash.
Remember the Concorde that went down in Paris? That’s where Andreas Schranner died.

I am mrs grace,the manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit foreign remittance department in a bank here in Lome Togo in west Africa.
With due respect and regards I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction, During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foriegner who died in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development,Although personally, I kept this information secrete within myself and to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.
The amount involved is $9M US Dollars ( NINE MILLION US DOLLARS).Meanwhile, all the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the next of kin to the deceased, Upon your acceptance all the information will be forward to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity,In fact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank, this is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where you will need the said fund to be transferred into, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer . You should contact me immediately if you are interested and ready to transact with me. Then I will request for some vital information from you first before we could proceed. In your reply do remember to include your full name and your direct Telephone/Fax number for easy communications between us.
Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you, I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down there for subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice me to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you, I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible, stating your wish in this deal.
Waiting for your soonest response, please reply at Yours faithfully, mrs grace

DR ALBERT DUPREE EMAIL: aldupreechambers@netscape.net
21/10/05
Greetings,
As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Albert Dupree, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God ! has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be one of the lastgood deeds I do on earth.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization and to the less priviledged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars($18m) that I have with a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to theless priviledged.
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement. I have set aside 20% for you for your time and patience.
You can e-mail me at my private e-mail address: aldupreechambers@netscape.net for easy communication While I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family.
