"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: BE MY TRUST

I am looking for a person of integrity, self employed or one whose job
does not prevent from engaging in other commitments and someone who is
financially exposed to manage my charity outreach in Asia and America.
I am Mr Ben Lucas, a once oil merchant in West Africa and Dubai. I
have been diagnosed with cancer for the past five years and ever since
then I have been
distributing my funds to charity organizations in Africa and Europe. I
am presently at my home in London and am hoping to fly to India to
meet with a doctor who is giving me hope of recovery, since my ailment
has deteriorated I can barely continue with this great task I posed on
myself which I don't intend to give up. Ever since I ventured into
giving out financial aids I have remained anonymous and I will like to
stay the same.
Incase you might want to ask if I have kids, I do not have any kids
and my wife left me earlier by divorce after extracting the possible
funds she can from me through court process even before my ailment. I
have sold almost all my assets and converted it to physical cash which
I have in an offshore account in my quest to invest in charity.
I do not believe much on news and cries for help which I see posted on
the internet. What I do is I usually source for organizations that
offer scholarships to the less privileged and development of poor
communities and anonymously support them financially, after I have
done thorough investigation on them and convinced that it is a genuine
NGO, and that is literally making me a charity foundation of it's own
that is being run by one person which is me.
I have been able to make progress in Africa and some part of Europe
where I have traded on in my lifetime. Since I can't do this any
longer considering my health issues I will like you to help me do this
if you will be interested.
I am not writing you to pity me in anyway as I do not need such
neither do I need your financial help or otherwise. I have
approximately $17,000,000.00(Seventeen Million USD) remaining, in my
offshore account.
I am simply making you a business proposition which if you be
interested you will have nothing but profit and smiles of joy all
through, when you see the good works we will accomplish together
though the task might be mentally demanding and hectic on you as you
will be the one engaging in the field work which is sourcing the right
organization and community to send our financial aids. Nevertheless
you can still hire some people to do that for you while you maintain
your present occupation but the responsibility and accountability of
your workmen will be on you.
If you be interested in working with me I will request for your
CURRICULUM VITAE and once I confirm the CV and your identifications to
be authentic I will give you the full details on how I want you to
manage the charity foundation and also send a legal document to my
bank to place you as the next of kin and new beneficiary of the
remaining funds $17,000,000.00(Seventeen Million USD).
Your entitlement in this great task is the 10% of the total contract
sum which is US$1.7m and will only be released completely to you after
the project is
Completed.
Once again I do not demand for any financial support from you, I have
medical insurance that covers my medication and other welfare
insurance. This is more
like a contract Please contact me back if you be interested.
Please kindly send your response to my Gmail address benlucas1957@gmail.com
So I will receive it faster.
