"Scammers often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man." - Scams

This book is about dishonesty - from street level to Cyberworld . It describes the common scams in circulation today and their origins. It shows how each fraud is perpetrated and how the informed reader can avoid or at least minimise their losses when faced with the scenario. If after reading this book you still manage to get scammed, you deserve to be put facing a corner with a dunce cap on your head and whipped with your empty wallet !

Subject: Mr. Luiz Fernando Charity Donation.

 

Dear Friend,

My Name is Mr. Luiz Fernando, I am from Portugal, but born and brought up in Russia, I have been

diagnosed with cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about

a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never

really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Though I was very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my

business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more

to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a

second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

I Would want to have a Personal and Trustworthy Relationship with you, as I intend and willing to

empower the change of ownership for the transfer of the sum of ( $11,200,680.00 USD) to your Account

or personal possession for further Investment and Charity Disbursement to the Less Privileged, Haiti

Earthquake Victims, Homeless People, therefore, I appeal to you to write me via Email:luizfernandomayor@yahoo.com

N/B:Kindly note that 40% of this funds must go to victims of Haiti Earthquake ,55% to other Charity

Organizations around the World and 5% for your effort and time.

God be with you.

Mr. Luiz Fernando.

Payment Confirmation

I am Mr. Kwaku Asare Saforo, operations officer, Ubs Bank Switzerland; my office monitors and controls the affairs of all the transactions in the bank concerned with foreign contract payments.
 
I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc.

As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed deposits, I have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received two days ago from the Parliamentary Committee on Contract Payments / Foreign Debts to submit the List of payment reports/expenditures and audited reports of revenues. Among several others, I have decided to remit the contract sum following my idea that we have a deal /agreement and I am going to do this legally.

MY CONDITIONS

1. The sum of USD$320.Million only will be transferred into your nominated account by telegraphic Transfer (T/T), confirm-able in 7 working days. After you have confirmed the transfer of the funds into your account, 35% out of the whole sum will be for you, 10% for any expenses that may accrue during the transaction while 55% will be for me.

2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.

3. There should be no third parties as most problems associated with fund release are caused by agents or representatives.

If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the seven working days mandate.

I hope you don't reject this offer and have the funds transferred.

Waiting for your soonest response and reply through my private e-mail address: (kasaforo@yahoo.com)

San Gabriel Branch
168 West Valley Boulevard,
San Gabriel, CA 91776, USA

Greetings Friend,

You may wonder why I am reaching out to you in spite of friends that I have known
for years, the singular reason is that I have by the very nature of this proposition
and the required confidentiality decided to deal with a person that I have not known
before so that we can develop the trust and execute this transaction without a third
person knowing.I would not have used this medium (Internet) but I chose to reach you
through it because it is the fastest, surest and most
secured medium of communication.

However, this correspondence is un-official and private, and it should be treated as
such. I also guarantee you that this transaction is hitch free from all what you may
think of.

I am Mrs. Veronica Bright of The Bank of East Asia USA, San Gabriel Branch,
California (USA) I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be
attached to this transaction. The Management and the Legal department of our bank in
a recent meeting recommended that the account of MR. DAVID ANGELLl, who was one of
my branch depositors, should be declared Dormant, confiscated and the depositor's
fund sent to the Bank Treasury according to American Banking and financial law.

Mr. David Angell and the wife died in world trade center as a victim of the
September 11,2001 incident that befell the United States of America. The bank has
made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this money but
without success.

MR. DAVID ANGELL is an account holder in my branch; he owns a dollar account with
the sum of 58.2M (Fifty Eight Million, two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
Only) deposited in a Secret account with my branch .In fact, since his death, no
next of kin of the account holder nor any relative of him has shown up for the
claim,this is because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the
documents for the deposit with me. The wife whom he signed in as his next of kin
died with him on that fateful and sad day.

This is where I am interested and where I want you to come in. I want you to come in
as the relation of the deceased; I will give you the relevant documents and contacts
to file the application and then effect the approvals for the transfer of the funds,
I will be the one to provide the vital documents for the claims of the money and
then advise you exactly how we should handle it.

Please include your telephone/fax number/ Home address when replying this mail and I
will give you more information as soon as you indicate your willingness to assist in
this transaction. I will use my positions to get all internal documentations to back
up the claims. Do not be bothered that you are not related in any way to him as I am
in position to affix your name as the next of kin. The whole Procedures will last
only 9 working days to get the fund retrieved successfully without trace even in
future. After the transfer of the money we shall share the money 70-30, which is I
will have 70% while you will have 30%.

Kindly respond promptly so I can advice you on the next step to follow.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Veronica Bright
Bank Of East Asia (USA)

MY GREAT BIBLE DONATION TO YOU

I'm Mrs. Saniter barmillar from Canada. I am married to Mr. Jormaco Barmillar , who worked with Canada embassy here in Cote d 'Ivoire for nine years before he died 2008. 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 (3.5 million USD) Three million Five hundred thousand United States dollars deposited in one bank here in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money still with the Bank here in Capital of Cote D'Ivoire Abidjan.

Recently, after my illness, my doctor told me I would not last for the next eight months due to cancer problem, I said that in the next eight months will not be spreading this type of bone cancer and I do not live again. But what bothers me most is my stroke sickness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church, organization or individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows like me, the poor and needy, and also propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us understand that "Blessed is the hand that gives." I took this decision because I have no child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christain and I do not want my husband efforts to be used by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where to go. I know I will 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 do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and therefore, the presence of my husband's relatives around me always . I do not want my husband's relatives 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 where the funds deposited by my late husband for you to contact them directly. I also send you an authorization letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.

Whoever wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful throughout your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to get a response from you.

Thank you and God bless.
Yours in sincere,

Mrs. Saniter Barmillar.

My Dear Sir,    
                
I will like to seek your help in a business proposal, which although is sensitive by nature and not what I should discuss with someone I don't know and have not met using a medium such as this but I do not have a choice.
 
I am Mr. Andrew Allen, personal attorney to late Dr. Edward, who died of a cardiac arrest a few years ago leaving behind a large sum of money with a commercial bank in the Island of Seychelles which is a tax free zone, a place where plenty of rich people tend to hide away funds not ready to be used or invested, I am also the Client's manager. I will not mention the amount of money which runs into several millions in United States Dollars and name of bank presently until we have agreed to deal. I trust you will understand the need for such precautions.
 
So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives more because he left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank and he has no known relative. Due to this development the bank has been expecting someone to come forward as a close relative to claim the funds otherwise as the Seychelles national laws would have it, any dormant account for five years will be declared unclaimed and then paid into the government purse.
 
To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Dr. Edward, So that, the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you come in. We shall make arrangements with a qualified and a reliable attorney to represent you locally to avoid any inconvenience of you coming down to claim the funds.
 
All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 30% of the total sum which I would disclose in my next email Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you.
 
I wait anxiously for your response.
 
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Andrew Allen

Currently, I am battling with a (partial stroke) which resulted from the shock gotten from the incident. Please view the below link for details: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/jun2011/liby-j20.shtml When my husband whom was a crude oil merchant was alive, we had plans to use the last days of our lives to disburse part of our resources to charity organization and several unknown individuals because when we were much younger in life as a couple, we received financial help from an unknown individual whom we have not met till this day. The impact we got from such gesture made us want to do same.

Unfortunately, my husband is not alive today to do this with me and my health is deteriorating so fast; hence I have decided it on our behalf. Having donated to several individuals and charity organization from our savings, I have decided to anonymously donate the last of our family savings to you.

Irrespective of your previous financial status, please do accept this kind and peaceful offer on behalf of my beloved family. Please acknowledge my message for more details.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Aaliyah H. Al-Ghrari

For Your Attention,
The Managing Director/CEO,
REF: Rebuilding Libya - VARIOUS SUPPLIES CONTRACT
Sir,
My name is Col. Ahmed Abdul Mustafa (rtd) and this is an urgent business invitation from Libya. My benefactor at the new American controlled Libya ministry has mandated me to seek for your cooperation in a multi million dollars worth deal. It happened that we signed supply contract on Building/Medical/Textile and General equipments and some of the contracts were inflated which after duly certified and the contracts assigned we have a surplus of US$58Million. Having access to pay this contractors by way of crude oil equivalent or raw cash recovered from some of late dictator's ( Col. Gaddafi's) assets, we choose to subtract this excess bills which we inflated in the contracts by defacing the whole bills into black which enabled us easy shipment of the consignments funds to a country called Benin Republic in a bank vault. Please if you can assist us, then kindly contact me via My E-mail: abdmust@superposta.com
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND INFORMATION ONLY DETAILING YOUR DIRECT TELEPHONE,FAX NUMBER AND EMAIL based on your company abilities.
As soon as I receive the above information, I shall get back to you with all details pertaining to this transaction.
Regards,
Ahmed Abdul Mustafa (rtd)

Attn: Honorable Contract Award Fund Payment Beneficiary



RE-NIGER STATE 2011/2010 CONTRACT AND FUND AWARD PAYMENT REVIEW JUDICIAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY MINNA NIGER


This is to inform you of the decision of the authority of this Commission as the authority constituted by Niger State Government to coordinate the release of funds to the State 2011 / 2010 Contract fund approval beneficiaries in an emergency meeting attended by representatives of Access Bank Plc the appointed paying bank by Niger State Government and Barrister Mike F. Ahamba the accredited attorney of the Commission who is standing proxy for you.

The meeting was convened by the authority of this Commission as a result of an appeal on your behalf by Mrs. Josephine Audu to give a Power of Attorney to Access bank Plc to deduct the cost of making the payment of $25Million as Awarded / Approved to you by Niger State Government from the principal Contract sum instead of allowing it to be recorded as a forfeited / unclaimed fund in the Commission report due to your inability to finance the process of releasing it to you as a result of lack of finance or confidence in the process for fear of being defrauded given the ugly trend in this part of the World where faceless, ill-mannered and half-baked individuals masked themselves to defraud unsuspecting individuals.

According to her appeal on your behalf, stripping the $25Million contract sum off from you by recording it as unclaimed / forfeited fund in the Commission report as stated in section 2 / paragraph 5 of the ACT through which this Commission was established that empowers it to record un-released funds within the period its mandate last as a willingly forfeited / unclaimed fund without formal notice to its beneficiary will benefit the Commission and its members nothing that serving in the Commission is a divine providence by God to all the members of the Commission to show love to mankind by assisting fund beneficiaries in any way possible to claim their funds as the opportunity to serve in a Commission like this might not come again she added.

After debating her appeal on your behalf extensively , few members of the Commission disagreed that you treated the Commission with contempt by ignoring previous notice of the Commission in which you were informed of the approval of the released of the $25Million to you having been ascertained as its beneficiary by this Commission however, majority of members agreed to fashion out a way of ensuring that the $25Million is released to you before the expiration of the deadline given to the Commission to submit its report based on what could be your fear as expressed by Mrs. Audu and it was agreed as stated above that a Power of Attorney notarized in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction where the $25Million originated from be given to Access Bank Plc to deduct cost of making its payment to you as suggested by Mrs. Audu given the limited time available to the Commission.

In view of this decision, the sum of $285 [Two hundred and eighty five USD] is urgently required from you for the notarization of the Power Of Attorney in competent Court of jurisdiction here by Barrister Mike F. Ahamba conferring the right to deduct administrative / associated charges from the principal sum on Access Bank Plc after which the Bank will release the $25Million to you in accordance with the elected / adopted payment method by this Commission [ELECTRONIC WIRE TRANSFER] for speedy release of the aforesaid amount to you as the deadline for the Commission to submit its report is fast approaching.

Having adopted Electronic Wire transfer as means of releasing the $25Million to you due to time factor, submit officially your BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION where you would want the aforesaid sum wired into in your favor in any part of the World immediately through the authorized emails of the Commission as appeared above. Barrister Mike F. Ahamba the accredited attorney of the Commission has also agreed to sign relevant document on your behalf as your legal representative marking the acceptance of the $25Million by you as required by LAW / ACTS of the Commission for reference / record purposes.

By this noble decision, the authority of this Commission has demonstrated sincerity and willpower to ensure that you claim the aforesaid contract sum and you are therefore, advised to see it as a great favor and opportunity to claim your fund by being proactive for the notarization of the power of Attorney through making the $285 [Two hundred and eighty five USD] available immediately for it as you will be directed on how to make the notarization fee available to the Commission as the Commission is confirming the receipt of your email as will include your Bank Account information for the payment / transfer.

This Commission is the only legal constituted authority by Niger State government to coordinate the release of funds to the State fund beneficiaries hence, ignore any email from individuals who may claim to be officials of Federal Government of Nigeria as the award and approval of the release of the contract sum to you is not associated with Federal Government of Nigeria and members of this Commission are men and women of good reputation who would not engage in any act of dishonest given the trend in this part of the World thus, do not regard this information as provided by this Commission as a hoax, act of Scam or an attempt to lure you.

Thanking you for your understanding and anticipated cooperation.
