Money Transfer Scam | Andreas Schranner

Here's a popular story which is used often used by the African crooks. Andreas Schranner,  who died in the Concorde crash in Paris, is the person who allegedly left some money in an account in, yes you guessed it, in OUAGADOUGOU!

Needless to say the story about abandoned money is not true.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relationto the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this funds you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and the location where the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application .

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

Money Transfer Scam | Bank of Africa | ADAMU LUKUMON

Here's another scam message from OUAGADOUGOU. This time the crooks are quoting Andreas Schranner as the owner of the abandoned account.

If you have been following Crime Online at all, you will know that Andreas Schranner is often used in this type of message. It's easy to confirm that there ever was somebody with that name. There is even a link to the BBC report on the Plane crash.

Remember the Concorde that went down in Paris? That's where Andreas Schranner died.

The Andreas Schranner Story hits again!

The Professor (of course he is not a Professor, but it sounds good) is using the Andreas Schranner story for this one. I have been posting messages about this story for at least 4 or 5 years now.

It just shows, if you are a crook, you just need a verifiable story and you are half way to convincing a potential victim to contact you.
