Deposit Scams
What is it?
They are also called "Nigerian" or "419" scams. They can originate in any country, but because
of the large number of cases from Nigeria
and the frequent mention of Nigerian banks in the junk mail people
use this terminology to describe them. They are called "419" because this is the number of the Nigerian criminal
act that was written to combat them. It is important to note that this scam is not particular to the Internet and
pre-dates the modern era. Email, however, has become the frequent starting point for them. We generally refer to them
as "Deposit" Scams since they often require the victims to deposit money AND/OR promise the transfer of funds into
the victim's account.
The context and scheme vary(thousands upon thousands of variations) but they all have the
crux the same scenario. A stranger contacts the victim explaining they need to move a large amount of money but because
of some strange legal or political situation they need the victim's help to move it. In return for the victim's assistance
the stranger is willing to part with a percentage of the money. The stranger usually asks the victim to pay a tax, fee, bribe
or some other charge so the money can be released. Example: Someone emails you explaining that they have $400,000 in an
African bank, but the government wont allow them to access it or move it out of the country. If you supply a bribe
of $1000 the government will release the money into your account temporarily until the person can come the U.S.(or wherever)
and claim it. When all is said and done you can keep 10%($40,000). Just based on the numbers it is a great deal for you, a
$1000 investment earns you $40,000! But there is no $400,000 trapped in an
African bank, and no real person conducting business with you. This is an age old scam escalated to a grand scale. Simply, someone dangles a large
treasure in your face that you can have a percentage of for a small investment. You pay and never collect. The person
disappears with your money, or worse says that there are "complications" that require more funds.
These scams also often play on sympathy as well as greed. Emails also claim that bribes are needed to "release
medicine for sick children" or "supply arms to freedom fighters."
Why Nigeria? Political instability and economic disparity have created an environment where corruption and
criminal enterprise are commonplace. Nigerian criminal enterprises are some of the most complex and
widespread on the planet.
Previous to the Internet the letters will faxed or mailed directly.
Why is it a problem?
People fall for these scams all the time and are often unlikely to report it. The profits from these
operations fund criminal operations, narcotics, weapons deals, terror groups, and human smuggling in addition
to eroding the stability of developing countries. Private bank accounts are often compromised which exposes
everyone to possible fraud. The amount of money lost by victims is in the billions.
How would it effect me?
This depends on how deep you are willing to go. There are many "levels" to these scams. In addition to the original
deposit fraud, victims are often enticed to hand over more and more money believing their payout is just around
the corner. Victims have often traveled to foreign countries to get their money back and found themselves
kidnapped and
held for ransom. Many people have been murdered trying to collect their money. This may
all sound like an urban legend, but it is not.

FROM THE DESK OF Mr IBRAHIM
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.WEST AFRICA.
With Due Respect
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of african development bank (ADB). I crave your indulgence as i contact
you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you read this
letter carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable
financial rewards for both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of Ten Million,Five
Hundred Thousand US dollars (US$10.5m) only , in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November
2002 in a plan crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin 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 but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at
the plan crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you so that the money could be released to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and i dont want this money to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as "unclaimed fund". The request for a foreigner as next of
kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree
that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to
the provision of a foreign account , 10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of
this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation
or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name,your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location wherein the money will be remitted. Upon
receipt of your reply,I will send to you by fax or email the text of the
application.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive
this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr IBRAHIM

"MY GOOD WILL"
Good day and God bless,
Greetings to you in the name of God Almighty. I am former Mrs. Memunat Farouk
Hassan, now I am Mrs. Rebecca Farouk Hassan a widow to Late Farouk Hassan
Muhammad.
I am an old woman; suffering from cancer. From all indications, my condition
is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live long, because
the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband died
in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline Boeing 990
with other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website
which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm)
and my only daughter died in LONDON BOMB ATTACK .
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for
so long and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of
this wealth, by contributing to the well being of less privileged people
and handicapped in the society of world America, Canada, Africa, Europe and
Asian Countries.
This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocate
to Africa where I live presently. I selected you for this Purpose and prayed
over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $1,700,000,000.00 Million US Dollars
to you for the development of the well being of handicapped in the society
and also as aids for the less privileged around your country, and i have
map out $700.000.00 for your own personal use to help me for this work.
Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Bank. Therefore immediate
application for the transfer of the money in your name or your home is required.
Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for
personal use, than enhancement of the comfort of the Handicapped.
Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my entire life
and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately
that wealth acquisition without God, one's life is vanity upon vanity.
I await your reply.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I regret this informal way of contacting you which I believe would be most effective with regards
to the message I intend to bring to your notice. It is imperative that I adopt this means of
communication to safeguard my interest and guarantee that secrecy is not compromised.
I am one of the wives of Nikola Sainovic one of the gentlemen that was indicted at the Hague war
crimes tribunal in Hague. I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and
hopelessness by the present civilian administration. The security agents in the country have subjected
me to physical and psychological torture.
First of all, I would want you to know that the indictment was politically motivated as a package the
western world has provided Yugoslavia at a closer look you will find that my husband is completely
innocent of what he has been accused of. The government has been after my family ever since.
Everything owned by my husband was destroyed and assets confiscated. My life and that of my three
children are not spared and we have to run away into Madrid for the safety of our life where we
presently live as refugees in a camp called Neprosteno camp, northern part of Spain under an assumed name.
The situation in the camp right now is very terrible and my children are falling sick everyday this
has made come to this desperate decision to act now.
I have in my possession documents containing details of my husband?s transactions on behalf of the
Yugoslavian government, Slobodan and my husband had kept some funds in cash to enable them take care
of rebel problems.
However, now the country they protected has turned against them. These funds were deposited by my
husband in the vault of a Security Company here in Spain hence the Certificate of Deposit and Contractual
Agreement covering the deposit is with us.
The knowledge of these funds is only known to me and my husband because I was with him when the funds were
deposited he now left the documents in my care in case of an emergency or anything should happen to him.
I believe the time is now right to make this move. Can you help? Are you capable of handling large funds
totaling $8.6 MILLION DOLLARS? Are you trustworthy? If you are capable of assisting us in realizing this
transaction, write me for more information.
I am also ready to offer a reasonable commission of 25% ($8.6Million) and 5% will go for expenses as will
be agreed upon hence I do not want my children to die like this. I do not need to remind you of the
absolute confidentiality and secrecy required in this transaction.
You can contact my brother (Herum Ahmed) on this number + 34 659272606 for more oral briefings since I
am residing inside the refugee camp and does not have a telephone of my own for discussions.
Best regards.
Hajia Mariam Sainovic.

and get paid weekly ? we are glad to offer you for a job position at
our company,Mavis Johnson Fabrics and Textiles.We need someone to work
for the company as a representative/book keeper in the states. This is
in view of our not having an office presently in the US. You dont need
to have an Office and this certainly wont disturb any form of work you
ahve going at the moment. From the Site, you will find out the Company
produces the following varities of clothing materials:- batiks,
assorted fabrics for interior decor, silk and traditional costumes
which we have clients we supply weekly in the states. Our integrated
yarn and fabric manufacturing operations use state-of-the-art textile
equipment from the world's leading suppliers. Order processing,
production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly integrated through
a company-wide computer network * The average monthly income is about
4000.00 usd. * No form of investments from you. * This job takes only
1-3 hours per day About the job: We have sales representatives all over
the world to distribute our products.You know, that it's not easy to
start a business in a new market (being the US). There are hundreds
of competitors, close direct contacts between suppliers and customers
and other difficulties, which impede our sales promotion. We have
decided to deliver the products in upfront, it's very risky but it
should push up sales on 25 percent. Thus we need to get payments for
our products as soon as it possible because customers can just "forget"
to pay. Unfortunately we are unable to open bank accounts in the United
US without first registering the company name. Presently with the amount
of Orders we have, we cannot put the on hold. For fear of loosing the
customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the
US soon enough as international Cheques take about 14 working days for
cash to be made available. We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each
month because we have money transfer delays
. YOUR TASK Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help
us with the payment process. You are not invloved in any sales. Our sales
manager sells products. Once he makes a sale we deliver the product to a
customer (usually through FEDEX). The customer receives and checks the
products. After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products.
About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified Cheques and
Money orders based on the amount involved. We have decided to open this new
job position for solving this problem. Your tasks are; 1. Recieve payment
from Customers 2. Cash Payments at your Bank 3. Deduct 1o% which will be
your percentage/pay on Payment processed 4. Forward balance afer deduction
of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send
payment to. (Payment is to forwarded either by Money Gramme or Western
Union Money Transfer. Local Money transfers takes barely hours, so it
will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.
For example you've got 3000.00USD You take your income : 300.00 USD Send
to us: 2700.00 USD First month you will have 15-20 transactions on
3000.00-4000.00 USD So you may calculate your income. For example 18
transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 4410.00 USD Plus your basis
monthly salary is 1000.00 USD Total: 5410.00 USD per month After
establishing close co-operation you'll be able to operate with larger
orders and you'll be able to earn more. Our payments will be issued
out in your name and you get them cashed in your bank deduct your weekly
salary and foward the balance to the company via western union money
transfer or moneygram money transfer.We understand it is an unusual
and incredible job position. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week.

requirements and will be an earnest assistant. We are glad to offer

Dear Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise. This is because we have not met
before but i am inspired to sending you this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will
be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
However, I am Patrick Williams, the personal Attorney to the late Engr.Steve Moore may his soul rest
in Perfect piece. He used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the
21st of April 2001,my client, his wife And their son were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos
Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have
made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to
locate any member of his family but of no avail. Then I have to contact you to assist me in
repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$35.5 Million has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin/ relatives so that thefund left will be
transferred/release or the account will be confiscated within the next twenty official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some years now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$35.5Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share this
money. 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.
All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on your return email the
following information forthe transfer in your favour.
1, Your full Name,
2, Your contact Address
3, Your private phone ,Mobile and fax numbers for easy
communicating.
4,Your occupation

NAME: PRINCE FAYAD BOLKIAH
EMAIL: fayadfile1@sify.com
Dear Friend,
I am contacting you for an urgent assistance to
mobilize a business transaction and
further explicit investment information about your
country from my attorney in London, who has been of
great assistance to my family since our departure from
Brunei due to the human right abuses in my country. I
am Prince Fayad Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince
Jefri Bolkiah, former Finance Minister of Brunei, the
tiny oil-rich sultanate on the Gulf Island.
I will save your time by not amplifying my extended
royal family history, which has already been
disseminated by the International Media during the
controversial dispute that erupted between my Father
and his step-brother, the Sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda
Hassanal Bolkiah. As you may know from the
international media, the Sultan had accused my father
of financial mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8
Billion dollars. This was as a result of the Asian
financial crisis that m! ade my father's company Amedeo
Development Company and government owned Brunei
Investment Company to be declared bankrupt during his
tenure in office.
However my father was kept under house arrest, his
bank accounts and private Properties including a crude
oil export refinery were later confiscated by the
sultanate. Furthermore during this unfortunate period,
I was advised to evacuate my immediate family outside
the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the
sultan and his security operatives, but before I could
do that I was placed under house arrest by the Sultan
and have no access to a phone but I have a Palm
hand-held computer from which I am sending you this
mail. Some of the guard here are still loyal to me, so
they would be my contact with you if there is any
document I need to send to you to enable you collect
the boxes of money on my behalf.
In addition, before my incarceration, I went a! head to
dispatch the sum of ninety five Million United States
D ollars US$95,000,000.00) in cash under special
arrangement into the custody of different private
security and Trustee Companies for safe keeping abroad. The money were
splited and kept in the following countries in this
proportion: US$40 Million is in Britain,us$30 million
in switzerland,the balance US$25 Million is in Canada.
Hence I seek your good assistance to invest these
funds into profitable investment in your country to
facilitate future survival for my family abroad. After
due deliberation with my aids we have decided to offer
20% of these funds to you as compensation for your
strong cooperation while certain percentage have been
mapped out for both local and international expenses
that may be incurred during this transaction. Please
I count on your absolute confidentiality, transparency
and trust, while looking forward to your prompt reply
towards a swift conclusion of this transaction.

Dearest One, I am Mrs. Jewel H. Taylor. (Formal First Lady, Republic of Liberia,
West Africa) an American- Liberian by birth and wife of embattled President of War
torn Liberian, Mr. Charles Taylor. I am an Economist by profession. My husband
has stepped down as the President of Liberian three years ago, but matter weren’t
helped when the UN special war crimes court in Sierra Leone indicted my husband
for war crimes in June last year 2005, demanding his prosecution. I and my
husband have been granted asylum in Nigeria for the past three years, but I
recoated my two sons (Williams and Charles Jr.)Immediately in July 2004 to
Sao Tome and Principle (a small oil Rich Island off the coasts of West Africa).
They are currently in hiding there under new identities, awaiting the outcome
of events and what will become of me and my husband after the UN ( United Nation )
world tribunal has given there judgment. The reason is this: During the political
crisis some years ago in Sierra Leone (a West African Country Rich in Diamonds),
my husband was actively involved. Late last year, my husband entrusted some money
netting a total of US$28,,500.000.00 (Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand
US Dollars only). This money he moved into a foreign Security financial company
for protective custody under a different name and also declear it as family
treasures/valuables so that they will not know the rear contents of the deposit
for security reasons somewhere in Europe. Now, we are not allowed to travel
out easily again because of the current political situation in Sierra Leone
and UN sanction. This is why I need you to please either travel for the
claim of the money and subsequently deposit same in a reputable bank there
for onward transfer to your account. It was registered as personal family
effects, it is in a box, but it contains a sum of $28.5 million dollars
cash, we do so that it ! will not raise eye brow, and it will not accumulate
much demurrage. Once you show interest, I will direct you to my lawyer who
will guide you towards securing the deposit with all the paper work hence I
will not be able to prosecute the project from here, I am willing to forfeit
30 percent of the funds to you believing you will hold 70 percent on trust
for me until we are able to leave here to join you under new identities. My
first son Williams is 27years old (an Economist) and Charles Jr. is only 21
years old. My Daughter Helen died in October 1999 from complication of
Pneumonia. I will advise that every correspondence should be by mail only
for security reasons as my calls are been tapped / monitored now. If you
cannot help us simply destroy this and forget I ever contacted you. May God
guide you in whatever you decided and thank you for taking out time to
read this request? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2963086.stm Fondest Regards. Mrs. Jewel Helen Taylor.
