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 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.

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.

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.
