Messages like this one show that the Iraqi conflict is still an ideal background for 419 scams. The stories are hardly researchable and the conflict is full of myths.

Does anyone know what an “obscured business suggestion” could be?

The funny thing about this e-mail is the sender address. Do you see it?

The so called Mr. Liu Yan is using an account with the name paulsmiths_uk@yahoo.co.uk.

Now why would he do that?

Because Liu Yan/Paul Smiths or what ever his name is, was just too lazy to set up a new account for his new scam message.

On the other hand, he has a localised Hong Kong Yahoo addresse as a so called private account. If that one is 006, how many accounts may he have there?

Good day,

I am Mr.Liu Yan a transfer supervisor operations in investment section in Bank of China Ltd,Hong Kong.I have a obscured business suggestion for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General Mohammed Jassim Ali who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months,with a value of Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.

Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the war early this year.Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him.We later find out that the general and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigation it was also discovered that General Mohammed Jassim Ali did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit.And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So,Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.

Against this backdrop,my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to General Mohammed Jassim Ali so that you will be able to receive his funds.

Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you.

If interested send your your response to my personal email
address:liuyann006@yahoo.com.hk

Regards
Liu Yan

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

Angus Mathew.
