The way these jokers write names is quite interesting. In this case they seem to using the short name for Andrew as the family name. It might also be Andy Richard Moore, as the Africans often put the family name before the surname.

Which ever way it should be, does not divert form the fact that this is written like a normal 419 scam type of message. I would say these people are out after fees, but this time for work permits, visas and so on.

Now the original message is in HTML, using the template we have seen over the last couple of weeks. This leads me to the thought, that all of these e-mails are from the same person or people.

Apart from that, this one says they want to transfer money out of Iraq. On top of that they say that they can transfer the cash through diplomatic courier. This is something the Africans have been saying for years. They still use this to impress and lull victims into believing they are working with officials.

We have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that your personality and reputation is well protected from any authority what ever. Secondly, this deal requires absolute confidentiality.

What can I say. This is an interesting variation on the “I found a pile of money in a dormant account” story. Would you believe from the Bank of Scotland. I’m pretty sure the Scots know pretty damn well what money is kept within their organisation.

Anyway, this is just the usual west African scam e-mail text just changed a little bit. It sounds more serious and believable that way.

FROM DR FRANK
FROM AUDITOR
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT
BANK OF SCOTLAND
UNITED KINGDOM

FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION!
(CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS)

DEAR FRIEND
I WANT TO TRANSFER OUT (FIFTEEN-MILLION POUNDS STERLINGS)
FROM OUR BANK HERE IN SCOTLAND. I HAVE THE COURAGE TO LOOK
FOR A RELIABLE AND HONEST PERSON WHO WILL BE CAPABLE FOR THIS
IMPORTANT TRANSACTION, BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME
DOWN EITHER NOW OR IN FUTURE.

I AM, DR FRANK JIM, THE AUDITOR AND COMPUTING STAFF OF A BANK
HERE IN SCOTLAND UNITED KINGDOM. THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN
THIS BANK IN 1995 AND SINCE 2001 NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS
ACCOUNT AGAIN, AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME OLD FILES IN THE RECORDS,
I DISCOVERED THAT IF I DO NOT REMITT THIS MONEY OUT URGENTLY, IT
WILL BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.

HOW THE MONEY CAME ABOUT: THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS MR JOHN HUGHES A
FOREIGNER AND THE MANAGER OF PETROL CHEMICAL SERVICE HERE IN
LONDON, A CHEMICAL ENGINEER BY PROFESSION AND HE DIED SINCE
1995.AND THEN,SINCE 2001, NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT OR
ANYTHING CONCERNING IT, THE ACCOUNT HAS NO OTHER BENEFICIARY AND
MY INVESTIGATION PROVED TO ME AS WELL THAT HIS COMPANY DOES NOT
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT AND THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IS
(15,000,000.00) POUNDS STERLINGS

I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD
BUT I DON’T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER, I AM ONLY CONTACTING YOU AS A
FOREIGNER BECAUSE THIS MONEY CAN NOT BE APPROVED TO ANY LOCAL BANK
HERE IN SCOTLAND, BUT CAN ONLY BE APPROVED TO ANY FOREIGN ACCOUNT
BECAUSE THE MONEY IS POUNDS STERLINGS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE
ACCOUNT IS MR. JOHN HUGHES AND HE WAS A FOREIGNER TOO.
WELL, I GOT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FORM MAGAZINE ADVERT.
I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE
DON’T KNOW OUR SELF BEFORE, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A
GENUINE BUSINESS. I BELIEVE IN GOD THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN
IN THIS INVESTMENT.

WHEN THE TRANSFER IS APPROVED AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE IS ALLOCATED
OVERSEAS,THROUGH THE OFFSHORE PAYING DELEGATE FOR FINAL CLEARANCE
AND SIGNING OF THE PAYMENT RELEASE FORM BY THE BENEFICIARY, I WANT
US TO SEE AT THE OVERSEA PAYING CLEARANCE OFFICE FACE TO FACE OR
SIGNING OF THE ORIGINAL BINDING AGREEMENT TO BIND US TOGETHER SO
THAT,WE CAN RECEIVE THIS MONEY INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT OR ANY ACCOUNT
OF YOUR CHOICE WHERE THE FUND WILL BE REMITTED.

I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO INVOLVE A FOREIGNER WITH
A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS THE REAL BENEFICIARY. I NEED YOUR CO-OPERATION
TO MAKE THIS WORK FINE, BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT IS READY TO APPROVE
THIS PAYMENT TO ANY FOREIGNER WHO HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION TO
THIS ACCOUNT,WHICH I WILL GIVE TO YOU WHEN SURE OF YOUR CAPABILITY
TO HANDLE SUCH AMOUNT IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.
ACCORDING TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND MY ADVICE FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT
BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKE, I NEED YOUR STRONG
ASSURANCE AND TRUST. I SHALL DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTS CONCERNING
THIS TRANSACTIONS IMMEDIATELY WE RECEIVED THIS MONEY LEAVING NO
TRACE TO ANY PLACE.

I WILL USE MY POSITION AND INFLUENCE OF OTHER STAFFS TO EFFECT THE
LEGAL APPROVALS AND ONWARD TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT
WITH APPROPRIATE CLEARANCE FROM FOREIGN PAYMENT DEPARTMENT. WITH
ASSURANCE THAT THIS MONEY WILL BE INTACT PENDING MY PHYSICAL ARRIVAL
TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE SHARING AND OTHER INVESTMENT.
PLEASE DO REPLY ME THROUGH: {frankjim2001@yahoo.it} OR YOU CALL ME
