First reported September 2002 This has been a bumper month for scam mail. Here is a chance to join 'reputable' Generals and bankers to collect cash from bribes and kickbacks.

FROM: COL.L AJOSE    LAGOS NIGERIA
TO THE PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER/CEO
SUBJECT: INVESTMENT

Dear Friend, Greetings....................
This mail will surely come to you with great surprise since we never had any previous
correspondence. i got you contact through a very secured business directory, so i decided to contact you.
First, let me introduce myself as Colonel   Ajose, retired from the Nigerian Army, May 28th 1999, upon the birth of the newly elected and inaugurated democratic Government of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
I did hold forth, in my service days, the office of the Chief Security officer to the then incumbent Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar. During the tail end of our military regime, loyal officers and members of the provisional ruling counsel, (PRC), the highest decision making body of the then Military regime, were secretly compensated with a lot of monetary rewards, oil blocks and multi-Million dollar contracts. I personally received a cash advancement of twenty Million five hundred thousand United States dollars only, $20,500,000.00.
This money is presently been deposited with a reputable security company here in Lagos Nigeria, GLOBAL ALLIED SECURITIES LIMITED, (GAS).
Considering the on going investigations by the Government of the day on past military regimes and its officers, it is my intention to forward this fund overseas for safekeeping, since I cannot circulate this money within the Nigerian banking institutions or trading communities, hence my contacting you.
I have since held several consultations with the management of the "GAS" and have mapped out a secure modus operandi of getting fund to you hitch free, upon your decision/assurance of your assistance, in which you will be duly compensated with 20% of the entire fund, while the balance would be used in the establishment of a trading network between our two countries. Thus, you might say, a re-circulation of fund back to its source.
As I want to trust in your judgment of having your alloyed assistance, I will appreciate that you revert back to me in affirmation, to enable me give you full details, bearing in mind the utmost confidentiality of this transaction to succeed.
Humbly send your reply directly to my personal email address indicated below.
Thank you, as I await your swift response.
Yours Respectfully,
Col. Paul  .(Rtd)

$18,300,000,00 US Dollars (EIGHTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) in a security company here in Holland.
That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold company he wanted to establish in
Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire though, according to my father he deposited the money in
trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings.
He single handed me the key of the box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to
seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad.
Now I have succeded in locating the security company here in Holland and also confirmed the items with most honest and confidentiality.
Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money  out from Holland to your safe account aborad so that we should invest it in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life.

First reported September 2002 This request comes from a Zimbabwe aslyum seeker in the Netherlands and offers a partnership in crime.

I am aware that it is amazing when a business proposal letter come from someone that you do know, however, my name is Mr. Ajagbe. The purpose of my introduction is that I am the first son of DR. AJAGBE who was recently murdered in the land dispute in zimbabwe.

Before the death of my father,he had taken me to amsterdam to deposit the sum of Eight Million Five Hundred Thusand United states dollers (US$8.500,000) in a security company,as if he forsaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The money was deposited in a box as gemstones to aviod much demurrage from the security company.this amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland.

This land problem came when zimbabwe president Mr.Robert Mugabe, introduced a new land act that wholly affected rich farmers and some few black farmers.this resulted to killing and mob action by zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatis in the society. infact,a lot of people wrere killed because of this land reformed act of which my father was one of the victims.

It is against the background that my family and I who are currently staying in amsterdam decide to transfer my father money to a foreign account.since the law of the nederlands prohibit a refugee(assylum seeker)to open any account or to be involved in any financial
transaction.as the eldest son of my father,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account were this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my governmentwho are bent on taking everythings we have got,I am faced with the dilema of investing this amount of money in the nederlands for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both contries have similar history.moreover,the nederland foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from assylum seekers.

As a businessman,whom I have entrusted my future and my family in his hand,I must let you know that this transaction is risk free.if you accept to assist me and my family,all I need you to do for me is to make arrangement and come to amsterdam,the nederland so that you can open the non-resident account which will aid us in transfering the money in to any account you will nominate overseas.this money I intend to use for investment.

I have options to offer you,first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for the transaction,or you can go to parnership with me for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country.which ever option you choose,feel free to notify me.I have mapped out(5%percent)of this money for all expenses incurred in processing this transaction.if you do not prefer a partnership,I am willing to give you(15%percent)of the money while the remaining(80%percent)that is meant for me,will be for the investment in your country.
please feel free to contact with the above addres:

Thanks Yours Faithfully

First Reported August 2002 This invitation to crime comes from a gentleman with a PHD – Most probably it is a PHD in corruption?

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.

Through some discreet inquiries from my Chambers of Commerce, you and your organization were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneurship. One has no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business of considerable amount, which will form a bedrock of an extensive business partnership in due course. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you as a respected executive of your company to believe that you
will handle it with all maturity and confidentiality it deserves.
I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm by my committee in NNPC. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M (Twenty One Million, Five Hundred Thousand). This was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project.
We now desire to transfer this money, which is in a Suspense Account with NNPC, to any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us.
For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 20% of the money. 70% will be for me and my partners whilst 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses/taxes that may be incurred/accrued by us during the course of this transfer; both local and international.
I would require from you, as a matter of urgency the following: (1 Name of Beneficiary/Company Name. (2 Telephone and Fax No. of Beneficiary (3 Account No. of Beneficiary
The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account.
It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution.
We have strong and reliable connections and contacts at the Apex Bank (Central Bank of Nigeria) and the Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall, through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security.
We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity. We want this money to be transferred to the overseas Account for us.
Please contact me immediately through my confidential email "xxx" whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal.
Time is of essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest cooperation.
Yours faithfully,

SCAM IN HASTE AND REPENT AT LEISURE. This request purports to come from a Barrister. We can only hope he is better at law than he is at spelling and at including contact details.

BARR ALEX,

I am a Barrister and a member of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA). I decided to contact you believing that by the grace of God that you will accept to be my partner in this business. I got your contacts through my personal research and out of my desperation, decided to reach you through this medium.

Hence, I made up my mind to introduce this business to you in confidence for the mutual benefit of both of us. The sum of US$48M (Forty Eight Million United States Dollars) was lodged into one of the leading private banks here in the country by the late Head of State (Gen. Sani Abacha). This money was lodged in a DEFACED FORM and in vaults / boxes. The money was originally meant to be used for his political campaign. Because, I was his family Attorney as such he confided in me with the relevant document papers relating to this Bank before he died of cardiac ar! rest.

As a matter of fact, I have adequately agreed with the family members to negotiate with a trustworthy person to provide an account where this money could be transferred to your country through your Bank account, because we cannot claim the money here in Nigeria. We have concluded all arrangement with an Offshore Security Company to move this money through diplomatic means to a country where it could be directly transferred to your nominated account to ensure absolute safety and risk-free transfer of the money.

After a successful transfer, 30% will be for you for your assistance and 70% for us. You are required to send by email immediately your Telephone and fax numbers and where this money will be logged and your personal contact address. Once you notify me your willingness by sending the above requirement. This transaction will be concluded within ten (10) working days.

Immediately you reply and indicate your interest, I shall furnish you with the d! etails and how to go forward. I will be waiting for your urgent reply through email.

You can check this out at:  (There is no address in the original email)

Please honesty is the watchword in this transaction. And the transaction is 100% risk free. Also it demands absolute confidentiality. On no condition must you disclose this glorious project to anybody irrespective of your relationship with the person. Remember, "Loose lips sink ship".

Best Regards,

Barr. Alex (SAN)

First reported May, 2002 - This is a new suspected scam format that asks you to ring a genuine number. Only then does the detail unfold.

We checked this suspected scam. The telephone number in the email is genuine, although the contact 'son' was a little groggy when I rang him at 2am his time.
Surprise, he only needs my bank account details. Confirmation of the scam comes when I ask him how many people he has sent the email to. He tells me 'Only to you", which is interesting since I was using the contact details from the email originally sent to a lady in the US. I asked him to tell me my name but the best he could do was a very bad guess.

An outline of the email letter is shown below.

I am contacting you with due since of humanity and responsibility, and with few awareness that you will give a sympathetic and favourable attention.
I am also very sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause you, based on the condition that we have not seen or known before. I got your contact from one member of my church.
I am the  wife of late Mr. Jonas savimbi of Angola. I am now in Abidjan with my son    based on the condition that my husband owns a residence in cote d`ivore before his death.
We need an urgent assistance to retrieve some items that he kept with my name in a security company in ABIDJAN COTE D IVOIRE before his death, a box containing
raw cash of $ 24 million America dollars ( TWENTY-FOUR MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS) .
During my late husbands involvement as the leader of unita, the opposition party to the Angola government, he was in total control of the oil and gold areas in Moxico province of Angola.
My husband had four wives and so many children, and he used our names in keeping must treasures outside Angola, because he knew a fighter life worth nothing, and that we are the architecture of our destiny. he deposited one trunk box containing 24 million USD in a security volt in ABIDJAN.
My main reason of contacting you, is for you to assist me in retrieving the box and to provide good investment plans for the fund. I want to invest this fund outside Africa, with a good partner. I will change the beneficiary your name  provided you will not sit on the fund if it gets to your country.
The investments will be under your control for seven years, during which only our interest will be shared annually, 60% for me while 40% for you annually I will distinguish My proposal and sincerity , by sending my picture and that of my son, as soon as you get back to us. But bear in mind that since the death of my husband, no one know our way about, so you have to keep it very confidential.
But remember, this is a privilege information that we are reviling to you, so we employ you to keep it very confidential and private.
You will have all vital documents for clarification. We are at the moment with a lady a member of the above mentioned church, though she does not know about our private affairs.
Tell me about investment potential in your country. you can contact son  on tel no XXXXXXX  for  more imformations

THE NOTE BELOW COMES FROM A SITE VISITOR FROM AFRICA WHO HAS HAD DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH THESE TYPES OF SCAMS.

I have had a similar experience on a trip to Ghana when I received a call from a scam artist one morning after my meeting the previous day with a bank in Accra. They wanted me to meet with them. I was on my way out of the country and immediately knew it was a scam. I gave them a telephone number (linked to a recorder) and when they phoned the next week I taped the conversation. A reliable source in Ghana advised me to just leave it alone as these people are dangerous. Usually the number supplied is a mobile number. Youwill never be able to trace them. IF you fall into their trap and try to pursue tthem they will kill you.
Africa has no money lying around. The presidents who ripped the countries off have moved their loot to safe places.
The only thing left was "GREED". Greed costs millions of people millions of dollars annually. People think there is a "get rich quick scheme". One should rather call it "Get poor quick scheme".
If it was so easy, everybody would have done it!!
BEWARE of dealing with unidentified African Scammers. They have the ability to clean out your bank accounts.

First reported Feb 2002 - This Nigerian one has convincing detail.

DEAR SIR,

My name is MR. ABUBAKAR USENI, the eldest son of Rtd. General JEREMAIAH. J. T. USENI who was the EST-while Minister of the Federal Capital territory Abuja in the
late General Sani Abacha’s Regime of 1993-1998.

I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit, utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $60M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair, I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, I decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country.

During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani Abacha as the head of state, they were both involved in several deals that yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that emanated from funds set aside for the
importation of Arms and Ammunitions to boost the Nigerian Defense especially in the Niger Delta area, funds set to embark on an oversea Campaign to counter the United States and European Union action to put a stop to the self succession bid of the Abacha’s
government to retain power, and monies set aside to rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If you are conversant with world news, you would understand better.

During this period, my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts. The then Head of State, Late General Sani Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissar to bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigating agencies set up by the successive governments and most of the Abacha’s loots were traced and repatriated from the various accounts to the Federal Government Treasury.

Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50Million (Fifty Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign account and a sum of $60M (Sixty Million Dollars) was kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abacha’s Family, the N50Million was recovered by the investigating agency
from the CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $60M, which he kept in the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds.

Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of
deposit of the consignments. Note that I have these information in my custody.

Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $60M is successfully transferred abroad for investment purposes.

With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Be rest assured that the modalities which I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, I will be absolutely right when I say that this project is risk free and viable. If you are capable and willing to assist, contact me at once via email for more details.

Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again. All my fathers’ friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. As it is said, “it is at the time of problems that you know your true friends”. So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 30% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest.

Please, I need your assistance to make this happen, do not undermine the reality. You have nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so much to gain.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response.

Best regards,

MR. ABUBAKAR USENI

>I am the Legal adviser of the Contract Review Panel instituted by H. E. President Olusegun Obasanjo to probe/review all Contracts executed and payments made during the regime of late General Sani Abacha. I have been mandated by my colleagues on the Panel to seek your assistance in the transfer of the sum of US$18.5 Million into your Bank Account. As you may know, the late General Abacha and members of his government embezzled billions of dollars through spurious contracts and payments to foreigners between 1993 ?1998 and this is now the subject of probe by my Panel. In the course of our review, we have discovered this sum of $18.5 Million, which the former dictator could not transfer from the dedicated account of the Central Bank of Nigeria before his sudden death in June 1998. It is this amount that my Colleagues and I have decided to acquire for ourselves through your assistance. This assistance becomes crucial because we cannot acquire the funds in our names and as government officials we are not allowed to own or operate foreign bank accounts. We have thus developed a, fool proof, legal and totally risk free scheme through which the fund can be transferred to your nominated bank account within a very short time.
>The scheme is to use our position and influence on the Panel to represent you as a foreign Contractor beneficiary of the funds. We shall arrange all documentation to support this claim and get Approval for the transfer of the funds for your benefit on our behalf. The scheme is perfected to be 100% risk free and we are sure the funds can arrive your Account within 10-14 working days from when you agree to assist us. You should acknowledge the receipt of my mail through the above e-mail address so we can further discuss the modalities of your cooperation and negotiate the charge for the usage of your Account.
>You definitely have a lot to benefit from this transaction as we are prepared to give you between 20% of the total funds as soon as you secure it in your account. Please, endeavor to send me an e-mail indicating your interest as to enable me furnish you with my confidential telephone/fax number through which we can communicate with you in confidence (in your response) as the need for secrecy is great to this transaction.
