Dear Friend,

I bring you greetings in the name of God, I really do not know why you did not respond to my previous e mail to you about my predicament I therefore had to send you this reminder.

My name is Joan Rodriquez from United Kingdom but hospitalized in Netherlands for now due to ill health that has eaten deep on me for over 2 years ,I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast coupled with very high blood pressure and Asthma ,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious according to my doctors that I may not live for the next six months according to the expertise test carried on me,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage that there is nothing else they can do medically to save me.

I was married to my husband Mr Louis Rodriquez for twelve years though he is deceased now as a result of liver malfunctions and my only son who would have taken the position of the Next of kin/Heir died one month ago because he was a sickle cell patient from birth .
My husband was working in a an oil company company in Saudi Arabia as an Engineer before he won a contract with the shell company in Netherlands before died as a result of the liver problem.

Since his death I have never known peace because my late husband's brother are after what he left behind which he sincerely WILLED to me , because of the unknown hence my health has so much deteriorated to a hopeless condition I decided to sale all my inherited belongings including funds and deposited all which came up to the sum of 10 million dollars with a bank in London.

Presently, I am in Netherlands and this money is still with the bank in London.
Recently the management of the bank notified me to come forward and claim my funds because it has overstayed or rather issue a Letter of Authorization to someone I trust to receive it on my behalf since I cannot come over because of my illness or the Government of United Kingdom will likely confiscate according to their laws.

Presently and fortunately I have access to a laptop which belongs to one of the Medical Doctors handling my health case in Netherlands which made it possible to reach you for this co-operations .

.In view of this and not knowing what could happen tomorrow I am afraid of leaving this funds in the hands of my husbands wicked relations hence It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice with Muslim or Christian affiliation and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home.

Having perceived that you are a God fearing person after praying to God to direct me to a trust worthy person , I want you also use this money to fund orphanages and widows, I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank in London for the process of this transfer. 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.

In your response please send the following Full Names_____,Contact telephone number__Contact Address_.___Age___Occupation______ marital status_Single____

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Waiting for your reply.

Mrs.Joan Rodriquez.

Nigerian Money Scam: Jack Ruben. / YOUR ATTENTION REQUEST

Typical, very very typical scam, reported here over and over. Just new words and a different email.

 

However to give this one credit, it was so long I stopped reading about ½ way through. 

 

Received: from [192.117.170.66] (helo=mail.mikideli.co.il)

 

From: JACK RUBEN [mailto:jkrn@connect.com]
Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 6:33 PM
Subject: YOUR ATTENTION REQUEST

 

Good-day,

 

I am Jack Ruben of Standard Bank Plc, United Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management three years ago, and I would respectfully request that you keep thecontents 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 subjects matter; came to our bank to engage in businessdiscussions. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Eight Millionthree hundred and seventy Thousand  British Pounds Sterling, which he wished to have us turn over(invest) on his behalf.

 

I decided to treat his case personally; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief Intermediary Sales department of the

bank, 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 primeratings. The favoured 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 One million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.

 

In November 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Finland . Where he said,he is investing with a Firm that is building a housing estate outside Helsinki for the government of Finland . He directed that I liquidate the investment and deposit the funds with a security firm. I informed him that Standard Bank Plc 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 cater 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 incidentsof 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to a 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 Customer 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 February 2006.In June last year, 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 Customer had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the Customer. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Standard Bank Plc 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 . The body was identified and the cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert them 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 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 diedwithout a t estate. 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 official capacity 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, after investigating the last batch of names forwarded to us as possible relatives, we have come to the conclusion 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 year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Standard Bank Plc, failing to

receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to Standard Bank Plc. This will result in the money entering the Standard Bank

Plc 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 Eight Million three hundred and seventy Thousand British Pounds Sterling 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 depositfor as far as Standard Bank Plc 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 am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the security Firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relative. 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 and share the proceeds with you in a percentage we will arrive at taking into consideration our individual level commitment. 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. But presenting you as a relative with the right to claim the deposit as a next of kin will mask my involvement and participation in diverting the deposit for personal use. You will get all the documents needed to effect this claim immediately you notify me of your acceptance to claim this deposit for our mutual benefit.

 

I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days.I will simply inform the 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. I 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 Managemen

religiously.

 

Please, again, note 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.

Sincerly,

Jack Ruben.

Good day,

I am Dr. Sarah Lindsey, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old.  I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel over to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet Mr. Michael Craig, who is a member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment.

Right now  I have received my compensation funds of $1,500,000.00 Moreover, Mr. Michael Craig, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will advise you to contact Mr. Michael Craig directly through the below information.

ZENITH COMPENSATION HOUSE
Name: Mr. Michael Craig
E-mail: craigs@webadicta.org
Phone:  +234-708-737-1330

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Mr. Michael Craig was just $420 for the paper works, take note of that.


Thank You and Be Blessed.

Job Scam > : Mystery Shopper Assignment In Your Area

99.9999999% of job offers are scams, as is this one.  Companies do not solicit through blind emails, that ask for your name, occupation, etc.  These are worse then normal scams, because what you will be doing is illegal, using stolen money and stolen credit cards. Not only will you lose money, but you will (may) lose your freedom.  Be very caution about all job offers, most are fake and illegal.  Check all companies out at the BBB and through the Attorney General's office.

Greetings fellow.

I am General Ahmed Abdullahi Bin-Zafar of the Libyan Military. I am sorry I have to put this story short because of time. I have watched the incumbent president stash away over US$140billion through relatives and few friends abroad, please watch presstv.ir  or  other media telecast covering the invents and present happening in Libya. With my position I need not to be told that I have to use this opportunity to secure my own future. I am contacting you to assist me because I came in to one of the west African country through the diplomatic channel with a consignment worth of US$45Million which I want you to take hold of in your country as I will soon resign from this work and war going on in Libya because I am not in support of Gaddafi's action to his fellow countrymen but since I can not change his ideas, I have to find my own way.

Contact me immediate by email so that I can introduce/link you to my attorney who knows where I deposited the consignment funds because I have to leave for Libya as soon as possible. The attorney will guard you through all the legal process and to protect our both financial interest. You shall be entitled 20% of these funds on completion of transfer to your bank account.

Be rest assured that this communication is totally free from all risks. Above all I want you to keep this highly confidential, if you feel you can't do it please delete this letter for good.

Allah Bless You.

Dear
 
Many thanks for your prompt reply to my letter. I received your E-mail and information. In fact, I want to tell you that project of this magnitude has procedures that must be followed, but I want to assure you this is not going to take us more than 14 official working days following your day of application which should take effect, tommorrow, Monday. And like I told you in my previous letter for the understanding of this project, I will like you to go through this detailed clarification, so as to have a solid background and knowledge in this transaction. Take your time and go through the details for you to know the reason for this transaction. I am assuring you that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free both now and after the claim. I am here as the personal lawyer of the deceased to ensure that we have a successfully claim. Remember that I am part of the proceed and for your information, I have every documentations and information relating to this deposit as entrusted on me by my late client before his death as his personal Attorney on financial matters and that is why I will stake all within my powers to ensure that we have a hitch free transaction. so my dear, do not be afraid about this relationship.
 
In a nut shell, I will like to briefly summarize what I was saying in my first proposal to you; My deceased Client, Late. Mr. Geoff Bundchen was a big customer of GUARANTY TRUST BANK (U.K). He operated a coded account and died on the deadly Tsunami disaster. He was a Civil Engineer and Contractor who had handled so many projects here in the United Kingdom. He had a wife and Son of course all of them were involved in the Tsunami Accident. He has a registered company here in London where he made the deposit but folded up after his demise.
 
Dear David, you actually may or may not be closely related to Late Mr. Geoff Bundchen but Specifically, I got your information from my country's chambers of commerce during my search for a trust worthy partner who will stand as the Next of kin to my late client before the Bank so that this fund shall be released and transferred to you. Over the years now, I have been searching for his close relative and have made contacts to your embassy but my attempts proved futile. While hasting to meet the Bank's stipulated deadline to make this provision which will lead to confiscation upon my failure to comply in relevance to law provission for such unclaimed fund exceeding the Six years stipulation by Law after the demise of my late client until I found your Contact details. It was not by mistake because I did my thorough research before I contacted you. I will like to hear directly from you orally over the telephone so as to increasing my confidence in you in an assurance for mutual trust, promising not to deny me of my own share soonest this fund is transferred to your custody.
 
Late Mr. Geoff Bundchen has no will but the Next of kin was his only Son who died alongside with him and that is why I am mandated by law as his personal lawyer to provide the nearest relation / next of kin which the Bank Board of Directors demands that I provide a foreign next of kin to my late client as enshrined to his deposit Agreement. The law of inheritance here in the United Kingdom does not make provision for estate management / agreement, rather the right is given to the approved heir / beneficiary. And this is why I contacted you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client so that you will be approved the heir / beneficiary in accordance with the law.
 
You will watch and see what is going to happen within the next 14 official working days from the day we submits a claim application to the Bank which should take effect as soon as I receive your Affirmation to this project. Every legal protocols will be observed. Please, do not sound so skeptical over this business. This is Real and not a joke. Repose your confidence on me, watch and see what is going to happen. Give me your word of assurance if only I can trust you, assuring me that you will not cheat me and then go ahead and re-confirm to me your personal information as stated below.
 
Bear in mind that you are going to go through normal and legal inheritance claim procedure so that the claim will be fully legalized and/or notarized. This is why I have to guide you appropriately till we finally have the fund wired into any account of your choice for our sharing.
 
I will have to let you know that we need to confidentially and maturedly handle this project because of the amount involved. The amount can easily elicit eyebrow from anybody and that is why it must be handled between us.
 
The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and be shared according to a proposed sharing ratio of 65:35, i.e. 65%  for me and 35% for you. I will provide all the necessary legally procured documents to back up any claim we make regarding this process, and will just require your understanding and co-operation as well as maintaining a very high sense of confidentiality until we confirm our fund transfer into your nominated Bank account to enable us achieve success within a legitimate arrangement, eliminating any liability resulting from any breach of the prevalent laws.
 
As soon as I have your sincere assurance to keep my share on trust without denying me of my share as soon as this fund is transferred to you. My dear, With your provided data, I shall complete and submit a text of application for claim in your Name to the Bank, putting claims for the release and transfer of the said fund to you. Thereafter, I shall avail to meet you in your country for my share and my investment over there in some profitable business your shall recommend to me.
 
So my dear, I request that you confirm to me with the information required below, to enable me submit an application letter to the bank here on your behalf for the transfer of the fund and also to increase my confidence on you.
 
PLEASE, CAN YOU CHAMPION THIS TRANSACTION??...................

The parcel was delivered to the DHL BRANCH OFFICE were i work as the manager,this parcel was on its way to your destination and it was been sent from ABUJA NIGERIA,the reason why the delivery of the parcel was not been completed to your destination was that ,the parcel has been ordered from the head office DHL NIGERIA AND ALSO LONDON to be stoped due to the reason that the tax CLEARANCE fees has not yet been settled by the SENDER AND all our effort to locate him or her has been in vain,so we reasoned that it will be better to contact you the receiver,since your sender left with us your information and also your email address to be in contact with you on delivery of the parcel to you,So the parcel was stoped because according to the dhl office in nigeria that any funds leaving there country that is above 200,000.00usd must have the tax clearance fees settled otherwise it will be taged as illegal funds.


But i have been instructed not to proceed with the delivery as at yet because you will need to settle the TAX CLEARANCE FEES ,that will be submited to the TAX CLEARANCE HEAD OFFICE IN ABUJA NIGERIA before the parcel can be released from my office to you.


So before your parcel will proceed from canada to your destination ,you have been asked to send to them the total of 200usd ,in other for them to help acquire the form for the tax clearance and also have it submited  and afterwords you will have your parcel forwarded to you again.


You are required to send the total of 200usd to them in nigeria,as soon as you see this email to the information below via western union.
