Warning! Internet Email Scams

Fraud in Britain last year, 2005, trebled £942 million, its highest level for a decade. According to the KPMG.
VAT and benefit frauds against the goverment accounted for £447m, while credit card and identity fraud surged from £37m to £360m.

You may be aware that there are some dishonest people using the Internet to cheat innocent victims out of a lot of money. In the UK alone, millions of pounds are lost each year when gullible victims reply to web sites offering get rich quick schemes.
Emails are another way Internet criminals lure users to giving away their, email address, bank details and other personal details, which they then use to defraud their victims.

Here are a few emails I have received offering me a chance to become very wealthy. I think not.
50+ emails so far and I'm sure more will arrive soon. Read them and be forewarned and please, never, ever reply to this sort of email.

I am Dr. Clement Peters, a Deputy Chief Executive of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA PRIVATE BANK) this BANK is also a correspondant of London international branch,HSBC Bank,Plc.Level 26, 8 Canada Square LONDON. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 9.2 Million British Pounds Sterling (Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site indicated below for more clarifications.

http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines / regulations. Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and investment. Since nobody is coming for these funds and we don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines in South Africa stipulates that such money after five years will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.

We agreed that 25% of this money will be for you if you assist us in claiming this fund, while the balance will be for my colleagues and I. Note that this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me through my e-mail address ( [email protected] ) for further details.

Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you as has been finalised and this fund is not linked to scam and its alikes. Upon the receipt of your response to assist I will be able to put you in a clearer picture of what next to do. Do bear in mind if this transaction does not interest, please discard this e-mail and do not use it against me as what I am doing will risk me of my job I have laboured for years if exposed. I crave your indulgence to make this a top most secret.

Best Regards,
Dr Clement Peters

Dear Friend,

You may be surprise to receive this letter from me, since you dont know me personally. I am Mr. Daniel Kuyamoh, the son of John Kuyamoh, Who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I am glad to say that with the introduction of internet and website, I was opportune and pleasured to have come across your contact through this satellite media during my search.
For a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involve a transfer of fund to a foreign account, and I decided to write you.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean opposition party, he was a rich farmer who was murdered by the agents of the ruling Government of President Robert Mugabe, For his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority, You will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting this web Sites;http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.htm.

Before my father's death, he had taken to Johannesburg and deposited the sum of Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand united state dollars (US18,500,000) with a Security and Financial Company, the Money right now is in (EUROPE) with a finance and security company.as if he foreseen the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in boxes as valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance. This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms and for the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the government.
This result to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs, precisely more than three thousand( 3,000) people have so far been killed.
Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and United States have voice their condemnation of Mugabe's plans. Subsequently, South Africa development community (S.A.D.C) has continuous supported Mugabe's New land act, it is against this background that my entire family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my father's wealth and south Africa's government seems to be playing along with them. I am face with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in the future, since both countries have almost the same political history.

More so the south African foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment, Hence I am seeking for(political asylum).AS a business person whom I entrusted my future and That of my family into his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
For your assistance we are offering you 20% of the sum, 75% for me and my family, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurred during this transaction. We wish to invest our money on commercial properties based on your advice. Finally, I will demand for assurance that you will not abandon us when the money gets to your possession/account in your country, If this proposal is accepted please confirm your interest by sending me mail through this e-mail address :

From Alkawasmi Bashar Adnan

P.O. Box 9084
Riyadh 11413
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Respected Sir/Ma,

I honestly
apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude, I got your email address on the internet. and it is imperative for me to know your opinion. I am Alkawasmi Bashar Adnan Credit Officer of the Saudi British Bank (SABB) I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
Five (5) years ago an British Oil
consultant/contractor with the Saudi Petroleum and Chemical corporation Mr. Michael Felton made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars
only) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Saudi Petroleum and Chemical Corporation that Mr. Michael Felton died from the terrorist attack in Great Britain (UK) last year. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Michael Felton did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars only) is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Saudi Arabia at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Saudi Arabia Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Michael Felton so that the fruits of this man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 45% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

You should observe utmost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.

Kind
regards,

Alkawasmi Bashar Adnan

Small firms like ours are not allowed before six months of operation, to open and operate a domiciliary account in foreign currencies abroad through which we would have been able to remit our proceeds home.To this end we seek a foreign company or individuals who we can nominate as our partners to receive our payments in their business/individual accounts on our behalf and in turn send the money directly to us.
Thus we are willing to pay the individual or company 8% of the total sum for their assistance. This 8% will not be a loss to us instead we hope to incorporate these costs in our future charges to our prospective customers overseas.Currently we are not able to bring back home our funds totaling USD $171,000.00 in DE, AU and USA from export we just made.We therefore solicit your assistance to help remit this money,To facilitate this transaction if you deem you would be able to undertake this task for the company,I would want you to submit to us via mail to [email protected]  the following information which includes1 Your Full Name as it would appear on your resume2 Your Qualification3 Your Contact Address4 Telepone number/Fax5 Your present Occupation and Position presently held
