Larry Adama is really p****d off with me!

Did you read the posts about Larry and his pal Danjuma, trying to convince me to send them 500 USD?

 

It starts here: http://www.crime-online.info/blog/2005/11/larry-adama-is-trying-dirty-deal.html

 

Well after posting the chat text and e-mail, I got several messages from people over the world who have also received the Danjuma fraud e-mail.

 

I have tried to find out how much Larry has cashed in since we started talking. Unfortunately he got quite annoyed with me and didn't give me any answers.

 

Let us hope that we have prevented at least a couple of people from doing business with these two wise guys!

 

By the way, he has not been online for a couple of days. Strange .....

The "La Primitiva" e-mail. Just in time for Christmas!

Strange how they always have a mixup of numbers and names, isn't it?

To: xxx@xxx.xxx

I feel very sorry to interrupt your peace since you are not expecting to receive any mail from me. However, I was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency of the message. I crave your indulgence, and want to reassure you that I mean well and that it is only for our mutual good. So please do not be embarrassed or suspicious.

My name is Pat Daniels. I am a social worker with an International Non-Governmental/Voluntary organization based in Switzerland. I am the Accounts/Project Director in-charge of South America regional representation. Our organization, through the local NGO'S and other Agencies and in partnership with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, UNHCR, UNESCO, etc works and sponsors development projects and social services in some third world/developing countries, assistance and re-settlement of victims of natural disaster, civil wars and Refugees, displaced/oppressed children and minority people around the world.

I am just back from Iraq where in the cause of performing our duties we found in a box a large amount of money in cash in an abandoned house, I reached an agreement with the members of my team whom are UN officials(two in number) and we agreed to keep this money to ourselves and they moved the box out of Iraq to Europe(with their immunity as UN officials they are not searched at borders or airports) Now, I am in need of are liable and trustworthy person or company overseas whom I can confidently work with. My work does not permit me to own a foreign bank account or any personal business until retirement.

I have the honour to confide this information in you and to request for your pleasure to assist to receive and secure the money in your account, pending our retirement from service. Please understand that my approach to you is based only on my positive reasoning and on the belief that you will not disappoint or betray me at last.

The amount is fairly huge and we have agreed that on completion of the deal, you will retain some reasonable percentage of the money as a compensation for your assistance. By any standard, the money is cool and legal and therefore quite safe and secure for all of us. However, to consider our official positions, reputation and integrity, especially, the opportunities in the business itself, it is very necessary that all due care be taken so that we do not miss the opportunity due to carelessness. You are therefore expected and advised to display high degree of maturity, responsibility and understanding in handling this information.

There would be a meeting in Europe where we moved the money to, for further discussions and to consummate the transaction at once. I will give you all the details in my next mail when you have indicated your interest and commitment to work with me. Always remember that this is the highest confidence and trust any person can repose on the other, especially when it is considered that we did not know ourselves before. I hope you will honor me too.

NOTE: I know there may be scams and junk mails flying here and there on the internet but certainly, this is not one. Please do not fail to understand that in spite of all that, opportunities of this kind still abound. If you have ever wished or prayed for something good to come your way, now I urge you to take this message seriously and with an open mind. You could never know. This may be an answer to your prayers. So please give it a benefit of doubt, and with good faith and trust join me and I am assuring you now that you will never be disappointed.

Please reply urgently and furnish your TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, for
further details. Treat as strictly confidential and do not reply to this email address I am reaching you from because it is my email address at work and might not be 100% safe so pls no matter your decision send your reply strictly to voluntarypatdan@ netscape.net

Do you believe this story?

This story has often been repeated usuing different names. But, you can see that it is a fraud, when you note the impersonal way it is written.

If I had lost my father that way, I would have a lot of anger in me and that would show.

Dearest one

Compliments of the day, i hope this email reaches you in good condition. i am the above named person,Mr. Dennis Omar 21years old, from Ivory Coast the son of late Mr&Mrs Omar .It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 13 of may 2003.

Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on may 13 of 2003 called and told me that he has the sum of Sixteen Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.(US$16,800,000.00 ) compile in a metallic box and deposited with one of the security company here in Abidjan Ivroy coast West Africa 10 of febuary 2002

Therefore i do not want you to be surprised at the nature of my contact with you, the truth is that i actually got your contact on the world wide web (www) while i was in search of a trustworthy person for assitance. Basically i need someone sent by God, who will not be of any mischief nor take undue advantage of my present situation.

Furthermore,I want you to help me remit these funds from the security firm as i am incapable of doing it myself,my late farther also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.he decleared it as family treasure and used my name (Dennis ) to Deposit the Box as his only son for next of kin. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.

I want you to assist me in clearing this box from the security company and then transfering the fund inside the box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose for me and as well to further my education.

I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do,this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Finally, i wish to tell you that after you might have remitted/collected the funds from the security company i intend for you to use the funds for the following;
1.To start a better life again and as well further my education.
2. Make a charity donation to ophanage home.
3. Meanwhile 20% of the total funds will be for you, for your
Assistance.

I will wait to hear from you in order to give details on how you can claim the funds on my behalf, i am positive that this will not take too much of your time. As such i urge you to look at this duty as a call for service from God, also a call for helping me out of this my present trial, a call to put a smile on the faces of people in distress.

Best Regards
Omar Dennis.

A very rare type of scam e-mail!

Now Mr. Kema is trying the honerable "business man" approach. It's not often you see this type of e-mail, but it seems obvious that he is targeting business owners.

Unfortunately, even experienced business men and women fall for this type of story. I have spoken countless victims who should have known better, or at least should have treated the offer with a healthy portion of skepsis

Dear friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have not met. The message could be
strange but real, if you pay some attention to it. I
could have notified you about it at least for the sake
of your integrity. Please accept my apologies in
bringing this
message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have
no intention of causing you any pain or harm.
I am LUISA E.ESTRADA, the wife of Mr. JOSEPH ESTRADA
the former President of Philippines presently in jail
and facing trial on charges of corruption and
embezzlement of public funds while in government. My
husband was recently impeached from office by a backed
uprising of mass demonstrators and the Senate. My
husband is presently in jail and facing trial on
charges of corruption, embezzlement, and the
mysterious charge of plunder which might lead to death
sentence. The present government is forcing my husband
out of Manila to avoid demonstration by his
supporters. During my husband's regime as president of
Philippine, I realized some reasonable amount of money
from various deals that I successfully executed. I
have plans to invest this money for my children's
future on real estate and industrial production. My
husband is not aware of this because I wish to do it
secretly for now.
Before my husband was impeached, I secretly
transferred the sum of
(Eighteen million United States currency) out of
Philippines and deposited the money with a security
firm that transports valuable goods and consignments
through diplomatic means. I also declared that the
consignment was solid gold and my foreign business
partner owned it. I am contacting you because I want
you to go to the security company and claim the money
on my behalf since I have declared that the
consignment belong to my foreign business partner. You
shall also be required to assist me in investment in
your country. I hope to trust you as a God fearing
person who will not sit on this money when you claim
it, rather assist me properly, I am willing to offer
you 25% of the funds for your sincere assistance. When
I receive your positive response I will let you know
where the security company is and also my son Carlito
(Daniel) will contact you with the details of this
project.
For now, let all our communication be by e-mail
because my lines are right now connected to the
Philippines Telecommunication Network services.
Please do send me your private telephone/ fax number
so that we can have a smooth communication.

Thank you and God bless you and your family
Warmest Regards,
DR. MRS LUISA EJERCITO ESTRADA

Oh boy, is this one sick lady!

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 $18.5million 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

Here Larry was gone for a couple of minutes ...

larry adama: Sir i am back?
Michael Holdcroft: ok, where were we?
larry adama: with the costomer
Michael Holdcroft: what customer?
larry adama: in the office?
larry adama: visitors i have
larry adama: Sir Wat are u saying Sir?
Michael Holdcroft: Then take care of you customers first
larry adama: I have done that Sir?
larry adama: all is well now
larry adama: So Sir tell me wat u mean Sir?
Michael Holdcroft: ok, now where were we?
larry adama: In the private office?
Michael Holdcroft: No, you were going to tell me about any property or land you may have as sucurity for the loan
larry adama: Ok
larry adama: So Sir why do u need it?
Michael Holdcroft: Now if I am to give you loan I need some kind of security that I will get my money back. You know, just like a bank always wants security of a loan from it's customers. You do work for a bank don't you?
larry adama: ok
larry adama: how much loan do u have to lend me?
larry adama: and what security do u need from me Sir?
Michael Holdcroft: I thought you wanted 500 USD. After taking off the Western Union fee, that makes 486 Euros. After 7 days you pay me 1009 Euros back. I need a contract over any type of property or land you may have, that if you default on the loan that I can get my money back by selling the property or land.
Michael Holdcroft: it's simple really
larry adama: yes
larry adama: that is a nice ideal
larry adama: i said i need 500 europ
larry adama: not dollars
Michael Holdcroft: oos, my mistake.
Michael Holdcroft: Now do you have any land or property?
larry adama: so if i have sir how can i give u Sir?
larry adama: to collect the 500 europ
Michael Holdcroft: Easy you sign over the rights to the land or property at a notary. The signed and from the notary confirmed affidavit should be sent to me as security. After which I send you a check over 486 Euros
larry adama: ok
larry adama: so how?
Michael Holdcroft: First of all do you have any property or land which you can offer as security for the loan?
larry adama: no
larry adama: all i have is my id card
larry adama: and my house in london
Michael Holdcroft: ok the house in London could be ok. Where is it?
larry adama: is in london
Michael Holdcroft: yes, and the address? Can a Notary in London set up the Affidavit?
larry adama: yes
larry adama: the address is here
larry adama: 8405 buffalo ave apt #2
larry adama: did u get that Sir
Michael Holdcroft Ok, I'll send someone to have a look at the property and see if it is suitable. I'll let you know if I am willing to accept it as security for the 486 Dollar loan.
larry adama: that is mine Address in london
Michael Holdcroft: Good
larry adama: ok
Michael Holdcroft: I'll get back to you when I have the information about the property from my partner in London
larry adama: so should i give u the name to send it through western union
Michael Holdcroft: If you want, but it will take some time to get all the details sorted out
larry adama: how many times Sir?
larry adama: and when are u sending It?
larry adama: Sir?
Michael Holdcroft: I should think that my partner in London will be able to get the information about your house in London back to me by next week. After which you have to assign a Notary to set up the transfer papers and send me the signed and witnessed copies. That should take 2 to 3 weeks. After which I send you a check over 486 Dollars.
larry adama: no
larry adama: i disaggree
Michael Holdcroft: About what?
larry adama: i dont agreee Sir
larry adama: i dont need check

Michael Holdcroft: I will do that as a sign of good will
larry adama: yes
larry adama: yes
larry adama: may be u should send the money then i will get a sign on the house
Michael Holdcroft: I can't send any money without any security. First the Affidavit and then the money
larry adama: Did u get that Sir?
larry adama: I said u should lend me when the money get to me i will give u a share of %$18
Michael Holdcroft: I thought you only had 14,8 million USD

larry adama: and assit me in what ever the bank needs before the money get in to the forieng account?
Michael Holdcroft: What does that have to do with the 486 Dollars?
