Thanks so much for your prompt response.We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to customers (usually through FEDEX or DHL). After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through US Certified Checks and Money orders based on the amount involved and it takes 14 days or more to clear outside USA .We have decided to open this new job position for solving this problem.

Your tasks or duties are:

1. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash Payment at your Bank

4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to.(Payment is to be forwarded by Money Gram money transfer services OR Western Union Money Transfer).

This will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.

After establishing a close co-operation with us,you we will be able to operate with larger orders and you will be able to earn more.

Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed in your bank. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You will have a lot of free time doing another job, you will get good income and a regular job.But this job is very
challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be of an earnest assistant. We are glad to offer this job position to you.

It sounds easy doesn't it?

The problem is, anyone taking up this "job offer" is an essential part of money laundering which the crooks need to get their hands on clean cash. Within a short time the "customers" who have sent checks or money orders will complain because they have not received the ordered goods. Who do they go to with their complaints? The Agent who received the check or money order, of course.

Usually, the agent tries to clear up any misunderstandings and tries to get clarification from Mr. Milner. He, of course, says the orders have been sent out. Which is not true because there are no products!

Eventually the customers will report the matter to the police. The Mr. Milners behind this scam are safe and sound as they hide behind false names and freemail accounts. They are usually located in other countries and they have no risk but get maximum profit at the expense of others.

It's the local "Transfer Agent" who will be held liable by the law because he is the person who cashed in the checks. He is also the one who is immediately identifiable.

The "Agent" will receive criminal charges for fraud and money laundering and anything else the law can come up with.

There have been enough people who have been stung by this kind of scam and end up with a criminal record.

So my advice to you is to trash any message you may receive offering an easy job.

You will be better off if you do!

ATTN:
DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Benson Silver. who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspence account.

Presently,the fund is still with the bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that,disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows,propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development.. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Contact me on the above e_mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your
reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Morine Silver.

Apart from the fact that this message is written in capital letters, the spelling and grammer are abysmal. Someone who has earned the title of "Doctor" before their name, would normally be fluent in the english language, even if they went to an African university.

So it's easy to see that this was written by some semi illiterate person trying to make a quick profit on the internet with a fraudulent offer.

Money Transfer Scam | David Mark | Inheritance Story

There really is a David Mark who is the president of the Senate in Nigeria. Search Engine results show David Mark is not unknown to corruption.

You will find more on him in this page of search results "David Mark"+Nigeria.

This message however is not from him.

As usual the Nigerian crooks have looked for a story or background which fits in with the stories they tell. David mark is just a good name to use.

The e-mail address <senate2008ng@yahoo.es> shows this is not an official message. It's a 419 scam message as usual.

FILE CODE #: ATM/LAG/NG

ATTN: BENEFICIARY,

IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD.

In close consultation with the World Bank, IMF and the European Union (EU), this is to notify you of your enlistment as a beneficiary of a recent Debt Management and Settlement Forum organized on the status of global arrangement to have your beneficiary fund settled once and for all. Of course, In the hope that you must have been aware of the past financial leakages in the European foreign inheritance payment system, and frustrations associated there from in your last attempt to claim the fund, wherein fund beneficiaries (like your self) was subjected to unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks in lieu of claiming funds due them. The World Body,
having solicited and received the cooperation of Nigerian Presidency, in harmonizing the sequence of payments, have discovered from records of outstanding foreign inheritance fund beneficiaries due them, that your name and payment has been with held and remain unpaid as a result of such bottleneck. On the prompting of this finding, I wish to officially notify you that all aspects of your payment claim is being harmonized, enabling payment to be released to you as urgently as you act on the instructions of this mail.

Consequently, Afribank Nigeria Plc has been directed by the World Body to off set these outstanding debts, using ATM Swift Card payment arrangement. Already, a total amount of US$500 Million has been provided to the bank for this purpose and it is on first come first serve. With this arrangement, I wish to inform you that Afribank Nigeria Plc has been instructed to issue in your name an ATM Cash Card with the valued amount of US$10.5M. In paying this amount to you, please note that it is without Prejudice to your original inheritance sum. Rather, it is a stop-gap payment arrangement put in place by the World Body to on the one hand ensure that you receive part of your fund, while on the other hand ensure that the process is smooth and without any form of stress whatsoever, whereas a comprehensive arrangement shall be made in future to pay off the remaining fund due you.

However, we are worried with the counter information received from one Mr. Jack Law, purporting to be from your directive, with express instruction to activate the ATM Cash Card for release of fund to his name a bank account in the "Cayman Islands" Obviously, we are hesitant to honor this instruction as it were, and would request that you clarify same upon your contact with Afribank Nigeria Plc . In addition to that, you should provide the bank with the following details to forestall any mistake of issuing the ATM Card with the wrong information already submitted by Mr. Jack Law:

(1) Your full names, address, phone, fax and Cell numbers (up to date) for ease of contact
(2) Beneficiary name for activation of your ATM CARD.

Believing that this arrangement will suit your condition and expectations, we will therefore request for your expedited response to avoid any more delay. Your response should be directed to Afribank Nigeria Plc , Attention: Dr. David William ; Director Atm Payment Dept through his official email address: atmdeptafribank3@yahoo.es ,Tel/fax: 234-1-4720582 ,Your file reference code for your payment is ATM/LAG/NG and should be quoted in your contact mail to the bank otherwise the bank will not recognize/process your ATM Swift Payment.

Yes, the various oil companies and African authorities are among the oldest stories used by the Africans. The original scam letters, which were sent to Europe and the USA up to 40 years ago, used the NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) as the basis for their activities. It is still used for e-mails today, although I haven't seen one for some time now.

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!

AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.

Attn:
I am the Auditing and Accounting Manager, Bank of Africa (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sumof US$20m dollars (TWENTY MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongsto one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in Jully 2000 in a plane crash.

FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT THIS SITE BELLOW
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

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.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
ADAMU LUKUMON
