Money Transfer Scam | Desmond Eyadema

This like the "pot calling the kettle black". The crooks accuse a former partner of being greedy. (If you ask me, he is just a fictitious figure and only part of the story.)

The point is, all of these e-mails are driven by greed!

The lure of easy money is too hard to resist and coupled to the greed of the perpetrators it is a crime without scruples and causes the ruin of too many people.

he tells you a tale of a huge fund transfer and calls himself Barrister Matthew Duke. If you look at the sender e-mail address, you will also see that Mike also calls himself Barrister Godwin Ugochukwu.

Dear Friend

It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise. This is because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
However, I am Barrister Matthew Duke, [the personal Attorney to the late Engr. Ronald Harriert, a national of Northern American], who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development company (SPDC) in Nigeria. On November 2002, my client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.

Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccesful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you, since you have the same surname with the deceased.
I contacted you to assist in repartriating the money and property left behind by my client, I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client.Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $15million U.S dollars (fifteen million U.S. America dollars). Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since i have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over several years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and i can share the money. 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your governmen may require.
Please all I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through and also Forward the following to me for the filling of the application of claim in your name urgently;


Your Full Name:

Your Age and Gender :

Your Nationality:

Your House Address:

Your Occupation:

Your Tele-phone and Fax No:

Note also that this transaction must be kept strictly confidential because of it's nature.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me VIA this my confidential email (MatthewDuke@myway.com) .
Yours Faithfully,

Barrister Matthew Duke (SAN).

Money per UPS! Is this a joke?

Assuming these crooks really sent 1.5 million US Dollars with UPS, this is what you should know.

All packages being sent through a worldwide courier service do get x-rayed. That means, money will be recognised by the specialists running the machines. If you are the recipient of such a shipment, you will be arrested for money laundering.

As the crooks will never send you any money, this will, of course, not happen. Even so, if you decide to contact these people, you will lose money.

Olusegun Obasanjo and Charles Taylor are a good story

Seriously, they do offer a basis for a fairy tale like this. Charles Taylor was a prominent warlord in war torn Liberia. He most definitely made a lot of illicit money during that time. You can read more about Charles Taylor at Wikipedia.

You can also read more on the former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo there.

Dear ,

Greeetings to you!! I sincerely hope all is well.I know you might wonder how i got to know your contact email address. I got it from the Presidential Library here in Nigeria, West-Africa. My name is Mr.Robert Ansah, i was assigned on 3rd of August 2003, by the Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, to be the personal assistant(PA),to the former Liberan President, Charles Taylor, when he arrived Nigeria on exile. Following the exit of Charles Taylor of Liberia from power under a West Africa brokered peace agreement, led by the Nigerian President, he was granted asylum by the Nigerian Government and was subsequently, given a home in the south-eastern part of Nigeria, Calabar to be precise.

While on my assignment as the P.A to Mr.Charles Taylor, i observed that Mr.Taylor moved in large amount of monies, illegally to Nigeria and used some of his money to buy loyalty, and he also found me as a close confidant and asked me to advise him on the best place,he could possibly secure his money. That was how, i deposited $35Million in a Financial Institution oversea(WILL TELL YOU THE COUNTRY IF WILLING TO HELP ME) and i want to use for investment and spend the rest of my life, there with my family. Since he relocated to Calabar, Southern Nigeria, all has been well until the 28th day of March, 2006, he was arrested and flown to Sierra-Leone by the Nigerian Government, following the request of the present leadership of  the Liberian Government led by Mrs.Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, backed up by the U.N, to appear in a Sierra-Leonean Hign Court, on allegations of war-crimes charges, etc All necessary/vital documents that will enable the release of the funds to you, are in my custody and would be provided to you on receipt of your willingness to assist me in the sucessful execution of this transaction. Though we are not known to each other, i strongly believe that through this transaction, we would be able to forge a mutual relationship between us, now and in the nearest-future.

Dear,

I know what I am about telling you might put you at the edge of your sit but quite frankly, I have no other person that I can readily confide in this dificulty that has befallen me for quite sometime but you since I saw your profile on the website, I just couldn't let go. I feel that I could confide in you so that you could help me out of it.

I do not know exactly how to begin. However, I do know that the only way to begin is to begin. My father died last year as a result of the conspiracy of his associates who got him poisoned in one of their business outings. Before my father's sudden death, he was influentially wealthy as a cocoa merchant here in Cote d'Ivoire and excelled in all his endeavours. This brought the jealousy of his associates who felt very unsecured by his affluence that he would monopolise their business one day with his money. The result of this jealousy was the eventual elimination of my dad through poison. I was at the University of Cape Coast then when I got the news of my father's ailment hence rushed back home to meet him up at the hospital. It was at the hospital that he told me about the fund $17.5m which he deposited with a bank here in Abidjan and craved my indulgence to look for a foreign partner who I can trust to help me get it transferred and invest it accordingly since he could not trust our local people here anymore.

Since his sudden demise, I have tried the much I can to have access to the fund to no avail since I was told by the bank that based on the agreement of deposit, I cannot have access to the fund kept in a suspense account umless I have a foreign partner with me. This is where you come in. My father deposited the said fund with the intent to have it transferred overseas for foreign investment which he could not live to actualise. Now, that I am the next of kin to the fund and the only child, it becomes incumbent on me to make proper use of the fund but the most paramount thing at this moment, is to complete my education while you invest the fund pending my graduation from the university.

As soon as you signify your interest to help me get this fund transferred, I shall forward you with the bank contact details so that you would contact them immediately. Be assured that all the necessary arrangement to have the fund transferred hitch-freely would be put in place here hence will pose no difficulty.

Immediately, the fund is confirmed in your account, you are to work out modalities to have me come over immediately to your country and complete my education.

Black hair and brown eyes …..

First of all, Suzann tells you her personal details. It sounds more as though she is taking part in a partner website for singles if you ask me.

She then goes on to tell you that she is looking for a trustworthy soul willing to help her invest her money for her. It's only 5.5 million USD, so you don't have to stampede to help her just yet.

I don't know about you, but I get a several of this kind of message to my tagged account every day. They are all supposedly from young African women with millions of dollars which they have to get out of the country.

It's obvious that these messages are only used to target men. It's the damsel in distress kind of message appealing to Knights in shining armour, which we all are, of course.

Dear Friend

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I would like to introduce myself, I am Williams Cole and I work with the staff in the accounts management section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.

One of our accounts is holding a balance of £15,000,000 (fifteen million British Pounds) and has been dormant for the past 3 years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner by name of Mr. Gerald Stone who died on the 4th of January 2002 in a planecrash in Birmingham here in the UK.

Since then no one has responded in anyway in regards to claiming the funds. As far as we can tell he has no family member who are aware of the existence of either the account or the funds. Information from the National Immigration Office also states that he was single on entry into the UK.

I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin. We will process these funds from the deceased and release them toyou, after due processes have been followed.

This transaction is totally risk free as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Think this over and should you be interested, please let me hear from you.

Regards,

MR WILLIAMS COLE

The funds in question are quite large (about £10,020,000). I will expect a straight answer from you. Yes or no. If yes, then let's work out the modalities, I also expect you to provide me with your private mobile number so that I call you for further explanation.

I wait to hear from you

Regards,

Mr. JAMES RICHARD.

This is better than lotto!

If someone said to you, "Here's 2 million Dollars. Do what you want with it." Would you accept? Chances are you would.

That's what these jokers are counting on.

Make no mistake though, it's just a Money Transfer Fraud scheme.

NOTIFICATION FOR CASH AID.

Dear Sir Madam,
This is to notify you that you have been chosen By the Board of trustees of the above International charity organization branch in the Netherlands as one of the final recipients of a Cash Grant/Donation for your own personal, education and business development.

The international registered Foundation is named after over 5 top company owners put together. The charitable foundation was reported by the business newspaper, the Economist between the year 2000-2007 to be technically one of the world's wealthiest charity foundation- worth billions of USD($) - but its primary purpose is, by some, believed to be BRINGING INNOVATIONS IN HEALTH AND LEARNING TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.  George Soros is chairman of the foundation. Having been rated as the founder and chairman of a network of foundations, the foundation has decided to randomly select email addresses that would benefit from this year's donation/award.

Association Of European Charity Foundations in conjunction with the European Union is giving out a yearly donation of Two Million United States Dollars as specific Donations/Grants to 50 lucky international recipients worldwide in different categories for their educational pursuit, health care, personal Business development and uplift of their environments. These funds are freely given to you to use for your business educational and personal development and at least 30% to be used by you to develop a part of your environment, as this is a yearly program, which is a measure of universal development strategy, and eradication of poverty.

Please kindly note that you are not the only beneficiary in your country this year, and your country is not the only country that is benefiting from this donation, as beneficiaries have been chosen from countries from all continents.

The idea of this donation is that within ten years from now, there will be notable richness amongst many unusual people around the world.

This will give many people the opportunity to get their lives to a stage where they had always wanted. Kindly note that you will only be chosen to receive the donation once. Which means that, subsequent yearly donation will not get to you again, so it’s your choice to spend the donation wisely on something that will last you a long time. And please do not bother following up this email, if you have benefited from this donation in previous years. Based on the random selection exercise of internet service providers (ISP) and millions of Super market cash invoices worldwide, you were selected among the lucky recipients to receive the award sum of US$2,000,000.00 (Two Million United States Dollars) as charity donations/aid from the Association Of European Charity Foundations and the UNO in accordance with the enabling act of Parliament. Note that, your email was selected from either the internet, or a Shop's cash invoice around your area in which you might have purchased something from.

On contact with this officer, you'll be given your donation pin number which you will use in collecting the funds. Please endeavor to quote your Qualification numbers (N-222-6747, E-900-58) in all discussions. Executive Secretary,

Felix Adams and his dead father's money

This is a variation on the often used "my father was poisoned and left me a pile of money" story. Of course, Felix is not able to manage the money himself and he needs a trusting soul to help him.

Make sure it's not you!

My Dear Friend,

How are you today?

It's been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the funds, without any positive outcome.

I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from Poland. Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady accountant who works with the Remittance Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.

In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the Funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $1.200.000,000 in a Cashier's cheque (one million two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). This is from my own share. I did this simply to show you that it is good to do good things to the right people always.

Presently, I am in Poland for investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow. I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have received your share or not.

Now contact my secrtary OGOCHUKWU BLESS on my former telephone line and do send him your contact address where you want the cheque to be sent to you. The phone numbers, which you will reach my secretary OGOCHUKWU BLESS once again, is His e-mail address: ( ogochukwu_bless1@yahoo.fr )

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time. In the moment, I’m very busy here in Poland because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with Mr OGOCHUKWU BLESS to send the cheque to you without any delay.
