Juliet Obaseki and her husband Jackson

This is new story at Crime Online, but it looks as though both Jackson and Juliet e-mails have been used for some time now. Researching the names I came up with an interesting web site called urgentmessage.org. The web site analyzes scam e-mails and presents them in a graphic form. This helps to see linkages through e-mail accounts, names and telephone numbers. Take a look at what Urgentmessage has on Jackson:

Now there is a real Jackson Obaseki who actually was appointed to the NNPC as a Marketing Director in 1999. His name has appeared in the Media quite often. A report at Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections explains that he was a part of fraud allegations at the NNPC in 2003. So it looks as though he is not so "honourable" a gentleman at all.

Needless to say, this kind of public information is predestined for use as a scam e-mail story. The twist with his "wife" complaining about being cut off by her husband is most definitely a flash of genius from the writer.

If you are interested, the Obaseki family has a web site at Obaseki.org where the family history is explained. It's interesting reading if you like history or genealogy.

Mrs. Juliet Obaseki,
Flat 8 Block 12 NNPC Quarters,
Garki Abuja Nigeria.

My Dear Confidant,

I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold, we will know each other better and how I got your contact.I will start byintroducing myself to you, I am Mrs Juliet Obaseki.,the wife of Chief Jackson Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

I am very sure that you will be of a good assistance after carefully reading my letter. For many years of marriage now between me and my husband,I have not given birth,and this has really troubled my husband.This is as a result of so much respect attached to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there community, so my husband has decided to break the marriage. In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present situation of things now,my matrimonial home look broken.I am being treaten daily by my susposed legitmate husband to get me out from the home.My husband parents and brothers are not left out in this matter.This situation has really affected me psychologically,mostof the time I am in the church to pray and rest myself,because there is no room for rest in my own home again.

As I am writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrmonial home,hence I seek your urgent assistance and help me out,which I know will go a long way in geting me settled down finally.I want to use this opportunity,since my husband has abandoned me because of childlessness,to move the $18 million US Dollars into your custody for safe keeping,pending my arrival in your country.Be informed that this said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some foreign oil companies he helpede in securing Allocation for the Drilling of Crude Oil in Nigeria.As a civil servant he does not want to be esposed,so he gave me this money to keep in my personal account,this was when the going was okay between us,so that he can exonerate himself from the eyes of Government security operatives and the civil service commission(CSC)which is the body that scrutinizes the activities of all civil servants in Nigeria as checks and balances for official misconduct.

To be sincere and honest with you,this money is never connected with drugs,money laundry,firearms and looting,which I beleive might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons. Hence the source of this said money is clean and clear.This money is been deposited in a SECURITY COMPANY as a raw materials which i wanted to send abroad. all i needed from you so that you will stand and claim this fund from the security company as follows.

(1) YOUR FULL NAME.
(2) YOUR CONTACTADDRESS
(3) YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER.

Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free and my husband will not raise any alarm,because he will not like to put himself and his position in NNPC in jeopardy,and if he does,he stands to loose his job. As soon as I receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to this,I will furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately.

I will start coming to meet you in your country.I promise to compensate you very well at the successful end,this is the guranttee I am giving you from my heart of heart that this transaction will not be more than 14 working days and it will be concluded because every necessary/vital arrangementshas been put in place,take note. Your negative or positive response will be highly appr eciated by me Thanks and God bless you and your family.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Juliet Obaseki
