The Best Spam Subject Ever!

We received a spam email today which had us jumping for joy....at least for a minute. The subject read "THIS IS MY THIRD AND FINAL EMAIL TO YOU".

Could it be true? A FINAL email from a spammer! Now this is a subject line that captured our attention. It wasn't like the others, i.e. , regarding your inheritance, contact immediately, bless you for your assistance, your funds have arrived, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc...

Well obviously we were disappointed when we anxiously opened the SPAM email to read more of the same old stuff. You know, some guy died who wanted to leave his money to someone trustworthy because he didn't have any relatives.

It's nice to be thought of as trustworthy but it just doesn't mean as much when it's from a total stranger and oceans away.

Well anyway, here's a copy of today's spam scam of the day. If you're a helicopter pilot maybe this was meant for you since this guy apparently in a Helicopter society of some sort. We could think of a lot easier groups to match up with strangers such as "He was a member of the "I don't care for barristers of lawyers who claim to have inheritance club.

Another Bank Scam full of Mispelled Words

Here's another Bank spam scam. After receiving over 1000 of these they all begin to sound familiar. One of the things that amazes us the most is the consistent spelling and grammatical errors made in most of these emails. You would think someone serious enough to try and scam you out of your hard earned money would at least take the time to use some type of spell checking software. We counted 12 spelling or tense errors and we only did a quick scan of this spam. This is especially perplexing because so many of these scammers proclaim to be Attorney's or Dr.'s.

Another interesting part of these email scams is the part where the "scammer" claims we shouldn't trust anyone else with this opportunity. We assume this paragraph has been added after many of us "fight back" and contact the authorities.

If these people would concentrate their efforts on something useful they would probably be fairly successful based on their ability to find email lists.

Here's one of today's many scams:

Well written Bank Scam (unverified)

Kudos to Mr. Williams for taking the time to write such a long spam email. This supposed bank/inheritance scam sounds official. Of course so do the other 600 we receive from the UK and Nigeria.

Title of todays email was simple: Re: Inquiry from John Williams


Here's today's latest spam scam attempt........



Greetings,

I am John Williams,staff of Coutts & Co Private Bank London UK. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management three years ago.I Would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.I am contacting you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In the year 2004, the subject matter; came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.



I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector then, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed.I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, We spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over Two million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.



In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki- Finland. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I informed him that my Bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to Coutts for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us.



Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to the security firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security firm. The Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with the security firm. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th of November 2006.

In June last year 2007, we got a call from the security firm informing us about the inactivity of that particular portfolio.This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the security firm, and I could not understand why the deceased had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Coutts & Co Private Bank.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in canne, in Southern part of France.We were soon enough to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed.



The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin.



Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died without a testate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased.



My present official capacity as the Head of Finance dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means,is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, The Security Firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Coutts & Co Private Bank, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to Coutts & Co Private Bank.This will result in the money entering the Coutts & Co Private Bank accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division.



This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those that occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is Twelve Million five hundred thousand dollars. deposited in a security firm, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as my Bank is concerned.

The transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to the security firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. The security Firm has no single idea of what’s the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that come forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man’s family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.



My proposal:I now seek your permission to present you as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the funds $12.5m (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.) ; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct The security Firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit,I am prepared to share the money with you. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 60/40.I would have gone ahead to ask that the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days.



I will simply inform Coutts & Co Private Bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased. I will then officially communicate with The Security Firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have The Security Firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from The Security Company. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions am aware of the consequences of this proposal.I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.



Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector.I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny.

These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking.I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a luck that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and myself. My official lines are not secured lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy.Please observe this instruction religiously.



Please, again, note that I am a family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence.



Send your response to my private email:

I await your response.

I must say it my pleasure to send you this email, Please pardon me if I have introduced on your privacy, how are you doing, I hope you are Doing fine, if so glory be to God,I am Marian and my Brother name is Terry we are the children of the late Mr. Joseph Kalabi of Sierra Leone, our parents was shot dead on April 17th 2003. 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)

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

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.
