Crime Online

The crooks obviously don’t want potential victims talking to us or anyone who knows what they are up to. They post a warning not to

If you take a look at the BBC story through the link posted in this e-mail you will discover that the US Military found millions of US Dollars in Iraq during 2003.

Ever since the crisis really took hold of the markets and banks over a month ago, I have been waiting to see if the Africans are changing their tactics. This one, although extremely short, does look as though they are giving it a try.

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.

I always wonder about these emails quoting my “contract/inheritance”. It looks as though they just want to keep their “bases covered”.

Here’s a classic mistake a lot of the African crooks make. They send a message which does not agree with the e-mail account sending it.

Now I for one, would not believe a tale like this one for just for that reason.
On the other hand, why would anybody who had Mikhail Khordokovsky’s money in his possession need me to help transfer his cash anywhere? They would already have all the right contacts without needing to resort to someone like myself if that was true.

A third point, Mikhail Khordokovsky, the former boss of Yukos Oil Company, is interned somewhere in Siberia and is no longer an important business man (oligarch).
