Fraud email example:
From: szangu szangu <szangu_04@yahoo.ca>
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 04:55:12 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: BUSINESS TRANSACTION
FROM: Mrs. SUSAN SHABANGU
Dept. Mins: Safety & Security Private Bag X463,
PRETORIA, 0001 Wachthuis, Thuvalk Arcade Pretoria,
South Africa www.gov.za
ATTN: THE MANAGER Dear Sir/Madam,
First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister, Safety and Security, since 29th April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of (US$19.5MillionUnited States Dollars).
You can view my profile at my website www.gov.za then click on contact formation, then also click at deputy ministers, then click on my office (Safety and Security) After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Ministry, Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in1996. After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted to the sum of US$19.5 Million with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into your comfortable and conducive account of your choice.
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date. If they discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in government. I want your assistance in opening an account so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.
For your assistance, I am offering you 20% of the principal sum.
However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, I would not WANT YOU TO CALL ME ON PHONE or send a FAX to me. All correspondence must be by email to my private email address, if you want to speak with my Banker, which is fine and okay by me. You will have to send down your private telephone /fax number so that I can forward it to him to reach you from time to time this is for security reasons. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, please ignore this mail, and pretend you never received this information. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family. YOU CAN CALL MY SON(BLESSED SHABANGU) AT THIS NUMBER:27-72-013-8023
Yours faithfully,
MRS SUSAN SHABANGU
(FOR THE FAMILY).
