Fraud email example:
From: Mr Freddy Jones <fredjons@executiveemail.com>
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 14:16:38 +0200
Subject: Information from Mr Freddy Jones.
Dear avskeuringwest,
I hope this letter finds you well.
While this email will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, please take a moment of your time to read
this. It is very important. I am Mr.Freddy Jones a treasury officer working in a Financial Securities Firm in
The Netherlands. However I got your address through the International web directory online. During our
recent reconciliation and auditing of our clients/customers account, my department discovered an over
dormant account with a huge amount of money valued at US $8,500,000.00 (Eight million, five hundred
thousand United State dollars Only) that belongs to one of our late customers; Mr. Williams, from
England.
He passed away (dead /deceased)leaving no next of kin as beneficiary to his money in our firm.All this
past years the money have been dormant in his account without any claim or activity on it for quite some
time.
Due to our company!s regulations,It is only a nominated next of kin that can stand and receive the
money from our firm because already our firm is waiting for someone who will come for the claims.
Infact I have laid down plan to introduce a trusted person who will stand to claim and receive the money
as the next of kin to late Mr Jerry Williams.Based on this,that is why I decided to contact you to
collaborate and work along withn me for us to present you as the next of kin.
On behalf of my colleagues and I we now seek your permission to have you stand in as next of kin
to our late customer so that the funds will be released and paid into your account.You would become the
beneficiary's next of kin to receive the US$8.5 Million into your Bank account.
We are not allowed to operate a foreign account and that would eventual raise an eyebrow during the
time of transfer. I still work in this firm,this is the actual reason why I required a second party or company
who will work with me forward claims as the next of kin (you) and also provide a bank account or to set
up a new bank account immediately to receive the which formerly belong to late Mr Jerry Williams
UPon conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total fund, while 10% will be set
aside to take care of expenses on both sides that may arise during the time of transfer and also for
telephone bills, and the remaining 60% will be for me and my colleague.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have in my possession, all the
necessary Documents to successfully accomplish the operation. Further information will be given to you
as soon as I receive your positive response.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish to work along with us in this proposed
busines transaction. We don't have alot of time to correct this unfortunate situation and I am afraid that
without your help it will all be lost forever. For confidentiality please contact me on my personal email
address(jns_fred@yahoo.com) with the following your data: Full names, Address, Telephone number and
Fax number.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Mr.Freddy Jones
