Crime Online

It’s amazing how many African banks have deceased or abandoned accounts isn’t it?

Now Joseph says he discovered the cash at his bank and now he says he has put the money in an Escrow account.

He says if I allow him to name me as the beneficiary there will be no risk. Sounds good doesn’t it? What he means is, he has absolutely no risk of being caught robbing people’s money.

I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary.

As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 30% of the total funds as your commission.

I am also willing to invest my own part of the money into any moving business in your country after the accomplishment of this project.

There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank to bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that our head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.
I have finalized all plans to transfer this money out and waiting for your coperation to make it work.

I will get 70% While you take 30%.

I am waiting to hear from you urgently.

I spoke to the company today and they, of course, do not make special deliveries of any kind, anywhere.

The second point which is not true, is the statement about depositing the money with the “United Nations Security House”. Even if there was such an entity, what would Thomas Winkler have to do with that?

And thirdly, he brought the “luggage” into the country, so why can’t he take it out again?

All in all, a nice story which just does not add up.

and he’s telling a story about money stashed away in Africa.

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.

and that’s a good reason for a lot of people to want to claim the card offered here.

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.

Logically speaking, this story of Saddam’s cash ready for transport
out of Iraq is certainly not true.

But…

There are people on this planet who would like to profit from it.

Dear one,

My name is Mr Andy Keita. I work with Cote D’Ivoire bank as an
accountant foreign operation department. In the discharge of my duty,
I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has remained dormant for
three years now with Six Million Dollars ($6m) in it. I contacted my
director and we sent out staff for enquiries and discovered that the
account holder was death with the next of kin.

I am writing you so that we can work with you to remit the money into
your account as the next of kin. It is simple process which will take
a short while to process Outside this. I look forward to receive your
urgent response.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Best regard
Andy Keita.

This is a typical story about dormant accounts without any heirs to claim it. Karim saysyou can be the one to claim it. No problem.

If you answer him you will soon find out that he will start telling you about difficulties which can only be solved if you pay him some money.
