So I told him to cash the $1.8 MILLION USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of june 2008.

The money was now package in consignment box and was deposited with the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY BENIN , Cotonou, Benin Republic What you have to do now is to contact FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you ,For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium.

I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact FEDEX COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your consignment with this information bellow;

Directors Name:DR. MARK OLISE

This one is an adaption of the “poor orphan” story. Because he is under age (20), Angus says he needs a guardian to help him get his inheritance.

Email ; angusmathew01@hotmail.com
my number:27 712 181 129

I am writing to seek your partnership in the investment of my inheritance fund USD ($25.5Million united states dollars only) from my late father who died mysteriously on 12 july 2006.

I will like to further introduce myself to you. My name is Angus Mathew., I am a 20 years old boy, the only child and son of my late parents Mr and Mrs Toure chuks. It was very evident that he was poisoned to death. I lost my mother when I was barely a year old and my father refused to re-marry another wife because he felt solely responsible for my mother’s death. This is so because he concentrated much on his businesses that he rarely pays attention to domestic affairs.

He was always travelling taking care of his businesses that he did not notice when my mother took ill. He thought it was a minor illness and was ignorant of this. My mother on her own resorted to self-medication. it was not until the illness degenerated that my father took my mother to hospital where she was diagnosed to find out that hypatitis had eaten deep into her blood stream. She didn’t last long before she died. This happened when I was barely a year old. Based on this, my father could not forgive himself easily because of it and said he was responsible for her death as he could have saved her if only he had paid attention to the things at home rather than concentrating much on his businesses.

Despite all entreaties by friends and relatives, he refused to remarry but ensured that I had everything that I wanted. It was as a result of this that he made me the next of kin to his fund deposit with the bank here in my country, I should have a direct access to the fund,only when I am 28 years of age otherwise, I should have a guardian/partner intercede on my behalf for the release of the fund to me. Unfortunately, he died on 12 july 2006 and I am 20 years of age currently.

This is why I have contacted you to serve as a guardian to me and as my foreign partner for the investment of my inheritance fund overseas My uncles does not know about the funds because they had already taken my father’s houses and other properties and they are looking for a way to kill me. They have requested to have my father’s file where all the documents that proof the existence of my inheritance fund in the bank where kept but I simply told them that I do not know where he kept them. The younger brother took the house in the village while the houses in the town were sold out they shared the proceed they got from the sale. Right now, I am in one of the guest house and do sincerely want to travel out of my country. This can only happen when I have secured the release and transfer of my inheritance funds in the bank. This why it is important that we have a plan on the type of lucrative business that we can invest the funds on.

I had a various times had discussions with the operation director of the bank where my father deposited the funds and I was assured that once, I have someone who would be willing to receive my inheritance on my behalf, they shall commence all proceedings to effect the transfer of my inheritance into the person’s designated bank account in his country for investment project. Now, that you have signified your interest to partner with me, it would only be very necessary if you contact the bank and request for the transfer of my inheritance fund into your account in your country for the purpose of investment and to further have me come over to your country to continue with my studies.

I shall be giving you the bank contact details as soon as I hear back from you so that you will go ahead and contact the bank.Talk to you the more. Please When replying me Reply me with this email
address: ( angusmathew01@yahoo.com , angusmathew01@hotmail.com ).

Angus Mathew.

Hello

Please use this money for the churches and less privileged in the world. God bless you as you read. I am Mrs., Siva Bala, from Netherlands a widow to late Dalis Bala, I am 61 years old, I am a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I wouldn’t live more than three months, according to my doctors, and in all indication regards to medical analysis, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage that no hope for me to be a living person again.
My late husband was killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.

The doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in America, Middle East, Asia and Europe especially create solution to problem of less privileged ones and orphanage homes.

I selected you after visiting the website I prayed and fast for few days over it, I am willing to donate the sum of ($6,000.000.00 us dollars), six million united states dollars to the less privileged.

Please I want you to note that fund is laying in a finance company in London, and upon my instruction, I will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose even though I am late then, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without God is vanity and I made the promise to God that the fund will be use to build his temple. May the grace of our lord the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family I await urgent reply. God blesses you.

Mrs. Siva Bala

I often wonder at these plane crash stories. If you have been here often you know that the Andreas Schranner story has been regularly posted here. It goes something like this “a multimillionaire died in a plane crash and left a pile of money in an African bank”. The writer goes on to say “we now need some one to pose as the next of kin to claim this lost money”. The reason for this being there are no living inheritors and we would like the money for ourselves. huh!

So where does this go from here?

Anyone who falls for this story contacts the crooks and immediately gets put through the mill. Form one e-mail to another he gets more and more involved, sending documents and setting himself up as the legal next of kin. Or so he thinks …

In reality, he is just corresponding with the crooks in the guise of lawyers, bankers and notaries.

Once he has gotten in this deep, they push him to pay a fee of say, 800 Dollars or better Euros. It could be for taxes, lawyers or bank costs, whatever. Of course, it is an imaginary fee and it doesn’t really matter for what the crooks claim the payment to be for.
They put the pressure on the “victim” to pay, saying the deal cannot go through without it. Naturally the crooks can’t don’t have the money to pay the fee. They are only poor Africans.

Needless to say the money should be sent through Western Union and once this is paid, they push the poor victim for more.

They push him for what they can get. Which means that victims which are gullible enough, pay anything up to 20,000 Dollars and more.

This often means financial ruin for the victims. For the African crooks, it’s a way of life.

Dear Friend,

My name is Mr. Evans Efedua, I am  the Manager, Credit and Foreign bills of  Regent Bank Plc. I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of US$15.5M  (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)  from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION:

I am the account officer of a foreigner named  Late Mr. Morris Thompson who died in an air crash along with his wife  and only daughter on the January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below  which was published by www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska  airlines.list

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself  and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery.  I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out  by me for the funds  to be released in your favor as the beneficiary’s next  of kin. Because after four years the money will be called back to the bank  treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of  the bank.  So it is on this note I decided to seek for whom his name shall  be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow  the bank directors to share this money among themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order  of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.  All I need from you is as follows:

1.   Your confirmation of your ability to handle this Business for me.
2.   Your word that you will keep this business as Confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business.
3.   Your telephone and Fax numbers for communication.
4.   Age and Occupation.

I shall be compensating you with 30% (thirty percent)  on final conclusion of  this project for your assistance, while we will retain 65% (sixty-five percent) and 5% (five percent) goes for expenses because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this  business. If this business is acceptable by you.  Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.

Your faithfully,
