Fraud email example:
From: "Mohamad Bader Abdullah" <m.b.Abdullah@katamail.com>
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 01:35:10 +0500
Subject: REF: Strictly meant for the addresse only
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Mohamad Bader Abdullah, I trained and work as an external
auditor for the Finans Bank, working as part of a bigger team that covers
the entire European region. I had taken pains to find your contact through
personal endeavors.
On routine audit check last month, I discovered some investment accounts
that had been dormant for the last twelve years. All the accounts belong to
a single holder (NAME WITH HELD) with monies totaling a little above $19.7
million United States Dollars plus interest.
Banking regulation/legislation in Europe demand that I notify the fiscal
authorities after a statutory time period of twelve years when dormant
accounts of this type are called in by the monetary regulatory bodies. The
above set of facts underscores my reasons for writing and making the
following proposing.
My investigation of the said accounts reveals that the investor died in
1993 the exact time the accounts were last operated. I can confirm with
certainty that the said investor died interstate and no next of kin to his
estate has been found or has come forward all these years. I am of the
settled conviction that using my insider leverage, I, working with you can
secure the funds in the account for us instead of allowing it pass as
unclaimed funds into the coffers of the European Union.
This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation. I have
seized all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate our
putting you forward as the claimant/beneficiary of the funds and ultimately
transfer the money to any account nominated by you.
Of course you shall be handsomely rewarded for your part in this
transaction. The people I am working with are prepared to allocate a 30%
slice of the total funds for your efforts. I shall however leave out the
final details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your
desire to participate.
Be assured that my colleagues and I are on top of the situation all the
time and there will be no risk whatsoever if you agree to come on board.
Needless to say, UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are to
successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.
To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction to come
to a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the finer details.
Please contact me immediately through my email address 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. But where you are
interested, contact me through my email address below, as time is of the
essence in this business.
Email: m.b.Abdullah@katamail.com
Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Yours Sincerely,
Mohamad Bader Abdullah
