This apparent SCAM is scary. They trick you into believing someone is tampering with your account so you'll click on the link to enter your login and account information. Remember, most financial institutions will not solicit your personal account information via email. Only enter your information on the company's direct website. This email did NOT come from Bank of America. The sender did NOT leave a return email address. Beware of these dangerous scams because they can sound real. On this one they even had Bank of America logos on the email. Subject read: Important Messege From Bank Of America (Notice they misspelled Message :)

Nigerian Bank Draft Scam

We have to give this guy credit. He at least makes the supposed scam sound professional. You would think someone with this writing ability could concentrate their efforts on a more legitimate business.

Here's a copy of this email:

YOUR IMMEDIATE INHERITANCE/CONTRACT PAYMENT

RE: PAYMENT OF YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT VIA CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT

This is to inform you that the Presidency has stepped into the payment of your contract / inheritance fund. The instruction to this Board to authorized your payment was given by the President himself Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua following intelligence report on contract payment he received which revealed that the lower offices and department including some departments of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are engaging in the practice of payment delays through unnecessary use of bureaucratic office processes and imposition of unauthorized fees. This apart has been allegations that some officials of NNPC and CBN deliberately divert funds approved with the name of a beneficiary to accounts that were not given by the known contractor after the due processing and approval of such payment.

To avoid and curtail such, official misconduct and deliberate delay of foreign contractors’ payment under one flimsy reason or the other, the President of the Country therefore mandated this office to raise contractors’ payment and ensure that such payments are received by the contractor within a short period of five (5) days from the day of notice. Based on the information contained in your contract files and records submitted to us from NNPC, CBN, and FMF your name was in the list of Category A contractors whose payments have been verified and approved with the records indicating that your payment has long been over due. The directive from the President based on all these findings is that this office should make immediately uninterrupted payment of your contract fund direct from the Federal Treasury. Other offices including CBN earlier handling your payment has been advised to hand over to this office to avoid duplication of efforts, though such offices hesitate to let you know of this new development.

In respect of this, this office held a meeting with the representatives of concerned government bodies during which your contract file and other information of your payment were submitted. After going through your file a lot of official irregularities, impending stop orders and complexities surrounding the payment were discovered. This office and the concerned bodies unanimously decided and approved that your contract payment will be raised in Certified International Bank Draft. The draft will be raised either in your name or in the name of your Company as the beneficiary. As soon as the draft is raised and signed off by you, you will be required to present the draft at your bank for confirmation and crediting of fund into your account. This will take 3-5 days of depositing of draft in your bank. Finally, I have tried reaching you by telephone but unsuccessful, I will advise you to call me or send me a fax in regards to this, so that I will intimate you more in regards to your contract payment. Reconfirm you

Best regards,

Worried ATM Scammers

These supposed scammers want you to quit trying to deal with others in securing your "inheritance" to prevent losing your awesome deal. They want you to get their ATM card and withdraw their maximum of 20,000 per day. I don't know of any ATM's which allow that much withdrawal. It's amazing these people find all the best deals out there and then expect us to believe them. With all of these email scams out there it means someone has more than likely fallen victim to this illegal activity. Hopefully this blog will keep others from doing the same.

In a cold Bloody Coup,He was betrayed by his business partners because of his wealth.so me and my Brother Terry where young then.

After our parent was killed, the only chance we heard was to run to Sudan where we have lived all this years, it all came to an existence That we could not feed so we decided to come down to the refugee camp Here in Ghana to enable us mix up with the refugees to make us live Like brothers and sisters.

Since we came to the camp the Ghana Government has been doing a very Great work by sending the refugees items to feed on, that is how we Have been surviving here in the camp.

While the Ghana Government sent The Executive Member of Attorney Income Movement of Ghana (AIM) to the refugee camp on assignment, so fortunately I saw my late father lawyer among them and he told me that they Came to the camp to search for the next of kin which their parent Deposited money in banks here in Ghana , my late fathers name was among The list of people that deposited money in one of these banks in Ghana

He said I should look for someone genuine and reliable person that Can stand as a father and as my late father foreign beneficiary so that Money can be transferred to him, because our parent said the money Should be kept for safekeeping and onward transfer. The lawyer also told me that in the time of the deposit of the funds my late father sign a contract bond with the bank not to release the funds to any of his family member without a foreign beneficiary that is the reason why I and my Brother needed your assistance.

That is reason I have sent you this mail to ask you to stand in that Chances for us to enable (me and my Brother) get our late father money Out of the security company (Bank).

Please the lawyer said I should not include the following;
1, The name of the security company (Bank)
2, The Amount involved.
3. Our camp ID cards
4. Lawyers contact.


The reason he said I should not include them is because of unGodly act that has Been carried out by those Fraudsters on internet because they may likely
Use them for their unGodly acts.

Please I want you to stand in this chance so you can help us get this
Money out of this bank, so you have to get back to me so that I can send

Money Transfer Scam

This supposed scam asks that we help them transfer money to prevent them from paying higher tax rates. According to them their tax rate is 25%. Therefore they can give 10% to so they only have to pay 7% taxes. You would think if a company is doing so well they wouldn't want to go to jail and risk losing this fantastic revenue generating company.

also speaks for itself.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in UK is
25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to work
this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private
individual is 7%. That's why we need you!
We need agents to receive payment for our textiles ( in American express,

NOTE: All charges of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER will be deducted
from the
money, so you are rest assured that you wouldn't spend a dime out of your
personal money.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each operation! For instance: you receive 7000 USD via checks on our

Someone's trying to scam your Inheritance

This is an apparent bank scam that claims someone is trying to scam you of your scam. :) In other words, the bank is claiming someone is trying to claim you are dead so you won't get the millions which should rightfully be yours. I wonder what they'll reply if we tell them we're dead. I would bet they'll then take the bait and ask for the next of kin. This one had a quite catchy Subject: RE:ARE YOU ALIVE/DEAD?

Religious Based Inheritance Scam

This is another religious based inheritance scam. They all try to make you feel sorry for them and then they usually lead you to believe they are giving the money to you because they feel you will do some good with the money. It's a nice gesture but it makes you raise the question...Why wouldn't you donate to your own charity of choice? Subject of this email was:
Calvery Greetings In The Name Of Our Soon Coming Lord. You would think Mother Ann would know how to spell Calvary.


With all sincerity and humility, it is with deep pains i write you this message of wishful assistance to my predicament,I am Mrs Ann Justins undergoing medical treatment in a Hospital,I am 58 years old,i am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $8.6million dollars with a Security Company.Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.

It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organisation of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.I want you God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows,I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

Lastly, my happiness is that i lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the almighty must serve him with all his heart and in and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all though you’re life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you soon.

Please reply me with my private and secured email:

Nigerian Bank Scam from a Prince

This guy claims to be a Prince...and an accountant. I didn't know Princes had to work. Nor did I think royalty would have to chase money like this. This supposed Bank Scam offers you 35% of 16 million plus. At least this person uses big words to sound like they have some education. I was so disappointed my first email from a "prince" was not really from a "prince". Subject read: From Prince Chika.

From: Prince Chika

ACCOUNTANT, INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC

38 CREEK ROAD, APAPA

LAGOS STATE-NIGERIA



Dear Friend,



Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Prince Chika , I work with Intercontinental Bank Plc as an Accountant. In the discharge of my duty, I came on this domiciliary account that has remained dormant for some years now with our bank valued the sum of US$16, 850.00 (Sixteen Million, Eight Hundred and fifty Thousand United States Dollars) I made some enquiries and discovered that the account holder died on the 31 of July 2000 with his wife and their two Children died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise.



http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by the deceased before they get declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge Deposit was lodged. The Bank has issued me a notice as the Accountant to the Deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the fund declared as an UNCLAIMED FUND within the Next 15 official working days.



Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 6 years now that I have been searching. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this Bank Account can be paid out in your favor. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will rotect you from any breach of law. I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will not breach the law by both parties; it is simple process which will take a short while to process. I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.



Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following;

1. Your Full Names and Address.

2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.



These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made. You will be compensated with 35% of the total fund on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for me. Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for us for investment purposes in your country.



I wait for your urgent reply so that we can proceed with the proper documentation of the transfer to your favour through legal processes.



Best Regards,



Prince Chika

Inheritance Investment Scam

In this apparent spam scam the sender claims they want to invest their large inheritance in your business. Supposedly God helped them find us as a trustworthy person to share in their 5,200,000 inheritance. Maybe they should split it with the church since their "god" is speaking to them so clearly. We're not buying it...that's for sure. It was quite an appealing subject which read: PLEASE HELP ME This reminds me of the fairy tale "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". I'm not buying this one either. Too bad these are scams. If they weren't, I'd be a gazillionaire by now.

Next of Kin Inheritance Scam

Here's one where they claim you get 1/2 of $6.5 million since you bear the same name as the deceased. Interestingly enough...they never identify the name in the email. So how do they know you have the same name? They DON'T.

It's disturbing that these people use words such as trust and religious references. Let's assume they'll get their payback down the road. Subject of this supposed email scam was: Please Read Carefully!!! The only thing you learn from reading carefully is that they don't use correct English. Beware on these apparent inheritance scams.


Hello,

Compliment of the season to you and your family.Please reconfirm the
receipt of this email because this is the third time I am this email
to you. I am making this contact to you on the fact that we may be of
assistance to each other in developing a long lasting cordial business

relationship, if you put your trust in God that this will work out
for the benefit of my own family and yours. I was moved by my personal

inspiration to entrust on your sincerity to handle a business.

I am Barrister Thamos Andrew; a native of Australia. I have a client,
who bears this same last name with you, a foreigner who used to work
with Sacyr-Vallehermoso SA in Madrid, Spain.

On the 11th March, 2004, my client, his wife and their three children
were killed in the terrorist blast in Madrid , Spain. Please
visit the link to enable you understand better:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3500452.stm

Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any

of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the internet, to locate any member of his family but of

no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in
repatriating the money left behind by my client before they got
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House where these

huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Finance House where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$6.5M has issued me a notice

to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over (11)

months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$6.5M
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money; 50% to me
and 50% to you,

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable

us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any

breach of the law.

yours Sincerely,

Barrister Thamos Andrew

I'm dying scam

This supposed scam comes from a lady who claims her husband had 5.2 million which she needs to dispose before she dies of cancer. It pulls on your heartstrings but it's intent appears to pull dollars out of your pocket. Subject reads: My dear beloved one in Christ
That's just not right to use scripture to try and build trust in a scam.

My Dear Beloved One In Chirst,

Please read this slowly and carefully, as it may be one of the most importantemails you ever get. I am Mrs. Mary Jack from Greece. I was married to Late Mike Jack. The Director of Veekrol Link Nig.Ltd, a seasoned

contractor in West African Region. He died on Monday,31 July, 2003 in Paris.

We were married for seven years without a child. After his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of $5.2 Million USD in a

bank in Nigeria, which is now wasting there. My Doctor told me that I would not lastlong due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to

donate thisfund to better the lives of the less privileged. I need honest and trust worthy individual that will utilize this money in accordance with my instruction. I want the funds to be used in funding

religious organizations,orphanages and less Privileged propagating the word of God.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit thismoney and my husband relatives are very unkind to me and I don't want my husbands hard earned money to be misused. I am not afraid of death

hence Iknow where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.

Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my course and I shall hold my peace. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank, and my Attorney for the necessary steps to follow in

transferring the fund.

For legitimacy, he will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me, Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose. If you are not interested, kindly pardon me for contacting you. You can reach me with my private

Thanks,

Yours sincerely,

Estate Scam

This supposed scam comes from someone in the UK. It claims there are 20 million British pounds at stake. That sure is a lot of money to offer out to a total stranger. I guess offering these large amounts make more people willing to take the risk. Not us. If we replied to all of these emails and they were legit we would be worth over a billion dollars. Of course we don't so we'll never have this much money. Of course we won't lose what we do have to these scammers either. Subject line read: USE THIS GIFT TO HELP THE POOR

Good day to you. I humbly wish to introduce myself to you through this Medium though it has been abused by people against the initial anticipation and intent of the inventors I'm pleased for contacting you to help my husbands dream come true.This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met before. I was desperately looking for a person to help the dream of my family come true. I am Madam Sharon David, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Engineer Silas David an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without child. My husband died after a protracted illness.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 20 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling in 2 boxes which were derived from his vast
estates and investment in capital market with a Finance/Security Company in United state of America and they have to move the money from u.s to uk and i
want you to help me to build a charity home with this money and also help the less previlage. Presently, this money is still with the Security company Recently here in uk, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.

Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the finance/Security
Company here in uk.

I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund.My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.Please always be prayerful all through your life,and assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.

Marriage Bank Scam

This poor girl claims to be a 24 year old who can't pay for school and bills because her father put a clause is his will that she can't get her 50 million until she's 30 or until she's married. Wouldn't you think someone with $50 million would leave a few dollars around to make it for 6 more years. I'd sure hate to see someone marry her for the wrong reasons and then take all of her money. Title of email read... PLEASE KINDLY GET BACK TO ME

Dear Sir,

My name is Sarah Grace Smith; I am 24 years old, from London -England,
where I school and work as a fashion designer for part time job
after my school. I am the only daughter of my parents, my father
died on a fatal auto accident on his way to see my age sick mother
at the hospital where she was admitted for Cancer treatments, my
mother also die when she heard about the death of my father in same
day at the hospital.

Before the death of my father, he had Willed part of his Real
Estate Business, Gas Stations and a total sum of £50,700,000.00
(Fifty Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling) to me. After
the death of my father,things has become very hard for me paying my
school fees, putting food on the table and taking care of my other
needs which my fashion designer work I do as a part time work after
my school can not help, I went to the bank where my late father
deposited the funds on my behalf to with draw some amount of money
to take care of my self and pay for my school fees and other bills.

I was shocked when the Bank Manager explained to me that I will not
be able to draw from the deposited money, because my father had putting
a clause on the Will, which he used in depositing the funds with them,
saying that

before I will be given access to the money, I will either
have to be 30 years old or I will be given access to the money, if I
get married before the age of 30 , in which case, my husband will be
legible to collect the money on my behalf by standing in as my late
fathers next of kin to claim the deposited funds on my behalf.

Today I am only 24 years old. And I have no access to the money till
I'm 30 years. So, I?m contacting you to stand as my husband to claim
this fund on my behalf if you are already married , you can still help
me by standing in as my late fathers next of kin to the deposited funds.
So, please get back to me as to know how you will be remunerated as I
will part with 40% of the total sum £50,700,000.00 (Fifty Million, Seven
Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling),while 10% will be mapped out for any
expenses that we're to use to receive the money from the deposited Bank.

Please remember that I am writing you this email purely on the ground
of trust so we can achieve this deal together. This transaction will
last for two weeks after you get back to me on how serious you are to
claim these funds on my behalf. Please reply to my private E-mail:
gracesmith2000@gmail.com

Yours Truly,
Sarah G. Smith.
