Here’s an African using a German freemail account

It’s not often that German freemail companies get misused for 419 scam types of e-mails. The Africans don’t usually speak the language and as such they don’t find their way around the sites.

Non the less, this one is obviously doing the 419 scam and is quoting an African, Okeke Frank as the contact man.

Now Frank’s e-mail address is from the French language version of Hotmail. So you can see that they certainly look for alternatives for their e-mail accounts.

Here’s one claiming to come from Charles Soludo

Posted by: Michael Holdcroft in 419 scam, Advance Fee Fraud

This one is made to look as though it officially comes from the Nigerian Central Bank from the Boss himself. As with all fraud e-mails this one is sent through a freemail address, so it can’t be come from the Bank itself. And, I am sure that Professor Soludo wouldn’t send it through a private e-mail account.

So it can only be a Scam e-mail right?

CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
CORPORATE HEAD QUARTERS.
MAITAMA, ABUJA.
OUR REF: CBN/IRD/CBX/021/08

RE: IMMEDIATE PAYMENT NOTIFICATION

Attn: Customer,

This is to draw your attention that your funds lying in suspense account with the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA has accrued to the tune of USD$20 Million. The Federal Government of Nigerian has authorized us to effect every outstanding payment immediately based on the new Government instruction by the Newly elected President of Nigeria Alhaji Musa Yar’Adua , the only problem now is that we detected a lot of irregularities associated with your transfer and we will appreciate it if you answer the following question.

(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your
family to claim your fund on your behalf?

(2) Were you involved in a motor accident?

(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Mick from your country?

Please reconfirm and answer the above questions because Mr. Thomas Mick came to our foreign payment department and submitted an application that you authorized your fund to be paid into the account of Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) with Account number UBS-A943BDG99 with a report that you are now paralyzed as a result of the ghastly motor accident you had some months back.

After processing the application of Mr Thomas Mick himself which he made known to us that he came from you, he succeeded in getting some required documents as to make sure that we effect this transfer as quickly as possible without any further delay.

The delay in transferring the funds is due to the request for a power of attorney authorizing him to pursue this payment on your behalf. He asked for a week so as to submit the document, but up till now we have not received any of the documents from any of you. Why? please forward us the power of attorney by a return E-mail: so that we can ask Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) to effect your payment to his nominated Bank account on your behalf without delay. Reply to my personal email address ( charles78@sify.com

Anticipating your prompt response.

Best Regards.
Prof. Charles C. Soludo.
Executive Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
