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.

It’s surprising, but there are a lot of cancer e-mails posted here with one thing in common. And that is, the first name is Jennifer.

Just do a search on “Jennifer” and you will see how many have been posted in the past.

Remarkable……

Dear Sir/Madam,

I know that this message may come to you as a surprise since we do not know each other before now, but for purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Tony Kante, an Auditor in ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA. During my usual auditing in the bank, I found out about an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account.

After going through some old files in the record, I discovered that the owner of this account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Co, died since1997. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation has proven as well that his Company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is Forty Million United States dollars (USD$40 M).

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a proof that he is related to the deceased,  Mr. Smith B. Andreas.

I need your full co-operation to make this work; I want you to come in as a distance cousin to late Mr. Smith B Andrea. And the management will be ready to approve the transfer of this money to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you later.  If you are able and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence and abide to my instructions and advice, we shall all benefit because this is a life time opportunity. With my position now in the bank I can lobby for the transfer of this money to your account, which you will provide with the assurance that the money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. As I will apply for my annual leave the money gets to your account.

I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the departments of Justice and finance . This is my private email address: tonykante2@executivemail.co.za

Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. At the conclusion of this business, you will get 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.

Yours truly,

Mr. Tony Kante
