A New Scam

Yay, I won the Department Of State Immigration Lottery. Yes, there IS a lottery, for visas, but I don't think they pay your airplane ticket nor give you a hundred-thousand dollars.

Scam Relief!

Well, I guess I can finally get that compensation for all those scams!

From a fellow scammed victim...
From:Elizabeth Park Fowler fowlerelizaa22@aol.com

I'm Ms. Elizabeth Park Fowler of Tampa, FL 33629., I'm a US citizen, I'm 51yrs Old. And I strongly and meant to believed that you are a foreigner I suppose, I'm one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria, London, Malaysia and Spain two year's ago. I was even contacted through email by an individual claiming to be my country (FBI) and they told me that they will help me too and they too sucks me dry by me sending them money to help retrieved my money and me having a new and better life and they all refused to pay me, I had paid over $91,320 while in the US my husband and family had to leave me because I refused to listen to them when they are telling me to stop, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet Barrister George K. C. Esq, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD AUTHORITY and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake and that they are all working together as different gangs and partners. It all started with one man Barrister Frank Okoh who contacted me to help him and since then my life was hell till now.

All the above name and many more were listed to me and showed to me by Barrister George K. C., because I was scammed by Mark Welling, Barrister Frank Okoh & James Obi. But I was disappointed when I went to my country FBI face to face to seek that I have been paying money to them. And they was very annoyed with me because they say that I am going above the law by dealing with people that are claiming to be them, I was heart broken and ashamed of my own self all of that i lost my hard earn money and my entire family at that. That’s when I took the mind and spirit to go down to Nigeria when it all began?

There are still real transactions in the world globe today but the scammers are just much than the real transaction so we are all confused so is better you gets the compensation money instead of pursuing empty dreams. When I went to the U.S.A embassy I was directed to Barrister George K. C. Esq of London immediately, He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment and he showed me care and help me when I first approached him I was very annoyed with all black's at that time. Right now I'm the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds amounting to $970,000.00. Moreover, Barrister George K. C., showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email and name as one of the scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister George K. C. in London.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD AUTHORITY
Name: Barrister George K. C. (Legal Practitioner and Consultant)
Cell Number: +44 762 419 9026
Email: gkchi@sify.com


You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister George K. C. was just $1,325.00, so you have to take note of that. Don't worry at all as you do not need to go down to his country Nigeria all he need's from you is for you to identify yourself briefly and he will take it from there. I am traveling to Mexico to find my family now and start a new and better life but I had to do some good before I take my live as I will not be coming to the computer for long again till I see my family and start a new and better life. Once again my brother and friend do not waste your time and money on those empty promises. Instead, go ahead and contact Barrister George K. C. immediately you can call him if you like.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Greeting To You My Good Friend
Jason Koh

Dear Friend, [The first portent (Well, really, the second, eh?), I HAVE no friends! (Actually, I do, but it is something I have affected in order create a sympathetic persona. But I digress...]

Compliments of the season and my best wishes to you, I apologize if the contents here under are contrary to your moral ethics, but please treat with absolute secrecy and personal.

My name is Mr. Jason Koh, I'm a Singaporean and a seasoned Banker with Malaysia HSBC Bank (Malaysia office), am as well an account officer to a deceased customer of our bank, we lost this customer in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia. http://asc-india.org/lib/20041226-sumatra.htm and his account of US$19.761 million with us have been unclaimed due to unavailability of next of kin/relatives to claim his estate.

In accordance with the escheat laws ["Es cheat", indeed!] in Malaysia as a kingdom, the board of directors of the bank met forth night ago and resolved to turn the estate of the deceased over to Government having waited for too long without the deceased relatives/next of kin surfacing property and if this is done, invariably, the funds will end up to become Government property and it is as a result of this that [I] am moved to contact you considering the fact that you share almost the same name with the deceased. And what name would that be, eh?

In view of this, I am seeking your cooperation and understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us claim the inheritance before the period given by the bank elapse. If you are interested and in agreement with me, get back to me quickly and I will send to you all our bank contacts and the information you may need to proceed without coming to Malaysia, and be rest assured that it is risk free project and the proceedings will be shared 50% each once the fund are repatriated into your account anywhere in the world. I will not settle for less that 53 percent, sir!

Please reply immediately with your information including your telephone number for easy communication and oral discussion.

I await your prompt response immediately.

Best Regards.

Subject: Final Settlement of Your Payment.
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:21:14 -0800

Dear Contractor,

Following the meeting held with the Presidency on the issue of foreign contract payments, a consensus was reached with the Presidency about the activities of some officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who are in the habit of diverting contractors payment and frustrating them by imposing unnecessary charges on them, making it difficult for these contractors to receive their long overdue payments. All the above allegations levelled against CBN consequently compelled the Presidency to stop the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from further managing contractors payment.


This development has been reported to the Presidency, who expressed his dissatisfaction over these actions as those were ment to tarnish the image of our beloved country. The Presidency has therefore given instruction that all foreign contractors should henceforth, stop going through the CBN officials to pursue their contract claim. Any contractor going through the CBN is doing that at his or her own risk.


The Presidency after an in-depth and pain staking study of your financial and psychological predicament in receiving your fund in the last few years, hereby this day resolved that an immediate and unconditional payment release be effected to you via our Payment Centre in South Carolina, U.S.A.


This decision is based on memorandum of understanding, signed with the above mentioned, and we in our capacity as professionals, have been mandated and empowered by the Presidency to solely handle all foreign contractual payments and other external debt servicing exercise.
Do reconfirm your status, acceptability and willingness to be in South Carolina, U.S.A for your claim as per advised.

We urge you to co-operate with us in order to ensure a quick and final settlement of your payment.


We regret any inconveniences you may have experienced in the past while trying to receive your contract proceeds.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Jerry Gana
Chairman.

COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY...
MRS ZHU YUNING

Good Day,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mrs. Zhu Yuning, Am an accountant
in the Fondazione Di Vittorio, established 1977 by the Multi-Million
groups and now supported by United Nations Organization (UNO) and the
European Union (EU), and conceived with the objective of human growth,
educational, and community development thereby uplifting the standard of
living of people. Below is the site.

1.http://www.fondazionedivittorio.it

After further investigation, it was discovered that some of the grant
beneficiary did not claim there grant and this grant funds has been in our
account for the passed three years. So, Seventeen Millions Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in our account and no one
will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according
to the laws of Italians, at the expiration of 4 years the funds will
revert to the ownership of the Italian Government. Against this backdrop,
my suggestion to you is that I will like to transfer the sum of
$17,500,000.usd for the payment of the Grants that was not claim by the
Recipients .

MODALITIES:

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the Beneficiary, all that is required
from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and
Address so that the attorney can commence his job.

After you have been made the beneficiary, the attorney will also fill in
for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and of
probate in your favor. There is no risk involved at all in this matter,
as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare
all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion
in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been
transferred to your bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 70%
for me, 30% for you.

Should you be interested please send me your,

1, Full names,
2, private phone number,
3, current residential address,

And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below:
(zhuyuning_02@ozu.es) and finally after that I shall provide you with more
details of this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mrs. Zhu Yuning.

This is probably the worstly-written spam I have ever received, considering it is purportedly from the Bank Of Scotland, where one assumes they all speak and write SOME form of the English language. Do not these folks have spell -czech on there machines?

But, it IS shocking to think that poor James Wood, Regional Manager low these 15 years, has NOTHING to show for all his hard work.

It is indeed sad that he must resort to this scam. I am disheartened.

The Manager,
Bank of Scotland Limited,
HBOS Treasury Services,
33,Old Broad Street,
London EC2N 1HZ. Greetings From JAMES WOOD
.
This letter is not intended to cause any form of embarrasments, but ratherintended to contact your highly esteemed self. I am writing to seek
your consent in a private and confidential matter regarding some funds unaccounted for in our bank here in London during the last 2006
business year.I need assistance from a trustworthy and reliable Foreigner whom I will fillin as the beneficiary. Your major role would be to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money and get 30% of the total funds as commission. There are practically no risks involved, thetransaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the eneficiary (next of kin)so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bankaccount under few working days.

I am JAMES WOOD, the regional manager of Bank Of Scotland Limited, and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with five lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send in financial report to my head office in the capital city at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2006 business report, I discovered the sum of Twentysix million eight hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterlings 26,850,000.00. Thefund is of clean origin. The owner of this account is a foreigner, a program leader.Untill his death. The Late Prime Minister, Mr. Rafik Hariri. I willprovide all necessary information needed in order to claim this money.

Hoppingin God that you will never let me down now and in future. ok! Rafik Bahaa EdineHariri (November 1,1944 - February 14, 2005), was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon,and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon(1992-1998 and 2000-2004) before his last resignation from office on October 20, 2004. The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past theSaint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital. Our head office is not aware of Funds and will never be aware of it. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary and as an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, hence i contacted you. If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this particular transaction. We will start the first transfer with sixteen million
pounds, upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. A this juncture i wish to tell you what prompted me to package this deal.

I have a 9-year old daughter who has leukemia, disease of the blood, and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this transplanting to be done in any good children hospital in your country if there is one. Once this fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign from my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country. I would begrateful if you would help me in looking out for good investment oppurtunities with my own part of the money in a very profitable business. I have worked for this bank for the past 15 years yet I have nothing to show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as soon as possible. as soon as you receive this message if you think we can work together, so that we can go over the details. Send also your Private mobile phone and fax nos: for more proper elaborrations.PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH MY PRIVATE EMAIL FOR EASY CONTACT( james50wood@myway.com)
Truly yours,

JAMES WOOD,

Does poor James Wood know that he will have to PAY for that bone marrow treatment, as we do not have socialized medicine in this country?

Well, here's "hoppingin God" that he finds a way to deal with his daughter's health problem, as I can be of NO assistance to him!

LETTER FROM MR. BEN OFOR ABOUT YOUR CONSIGNMENT

Mr. Ben Ofor

.

OFFICE OF MR. BEN OFOR
MANAGER NATIONAL WARE-HOUSE

Attention,

This is to inform you that arrangements have been concluded as regards to the shipment of your consignment of funds to your country.

I choose to conclude it and make sure it is off already before contacting you. I found out that this consignment has been lying here because of non-payment of shipment fees.

This is why I decided to use my connections as the Shipment officer in charge of the National Security warehouse, (This is where all the abandoned consignments in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government of Nigeria.)

The consignment left Lagos Nigeria yesterday night en-route your country via London, It is a metal box, silver in color with a weight of about 150kg, the box is declared as containing diplomatic /inheritance documents only.

The name of the Courier Company based in London is Air Courier International Ltd.

Call me immediately so that I can give you the phone and fax numbers of the courier company in Italy so that you confirm when the consignment will arrive.

I choose to do this for you because I studied your file and discovered that you have paid a lot of money before abandoning this consignment and I believe you will compensated me well when you receive the consignment.

Note: I know the content of the Box because I could see the amount you are being owned by the Federal Government.

This is why I decided to get involved. You must also know that this arrangement do not concern all the people you were dealing with in Nigeria before today as this consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the Government, Hence my involvement

This is the contact number of the manager who is the right person to contact (+447031913872) his name is Mr. Mandy Peter; call him as soon as you get this mail today.

I wait for your call or mail.

Thanks
Dr. Ben Ofor
