Fraud email example:
From: "Dr Alfuhard Mohammed" <unitedkingdom18@gmail.com>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:31:25 +0200
Subject: Director, Central Computing/Monitoring Unit
FROM THE DESK
DR ALFUHARD MOHAMMED
Director, Central Computing/Monitoring Unit
Central Bank of Benin
Direct Tel No: ++22997550604
EMAIL: jabiwills@live.fr
Dear Sir/Madam,
After a serious thought and out of sympathy, I decided to contact you
personally because I do not have anything against you but to your partners.
I am ".DR ALFUHARD MOHAMMED, Director, Central computing/Monitoring Unit,
Central Bank of Benin West Africa in charge of all foreign payments.
Sometime in the past, your partners approched me to assist them faciliate
the transfer of fund inherited from a contract deal which was deposited with
my bank. This is to enable me program your full contact information into our
central computing database so that the fund will reflect to your favour as
the bonafide fund beneficiary to enable you receive the fund on their
behalf.
However, we agreed on the condition that your partners will pay me
US$200,000.00 (Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) upon the
execution of my task. After I have perfected all the avenues and the payment
has now been influence and approved for payment to your favour, your partner
now started avoiding me. Thereafter, they colaborated with another foreign
counterpart and came up with an affidavit from the Court authorizing the
change of your bank account. A new bank account information was provided by
your partners which bears another name as the beneficiary which is quite
different from your already approved bank account and instructed that your
fund be transferred to the new submitted bank account which he claimed to be
your new bank details and that you have approved and authorize your fund to
be transferred to the new banking details as follows:
Bank: SANTANDER CENTRAL HISPANO
Address: 03780 TORREVIEJA(Alicante) Vista Alegre,17 Spain
Account Name: Placidus Denis FERNANDOPULLE
Code CCC: 0049 2813 73 2114108196
Account number: 1114508186
IBAN: ES72 0049 2613 7321 1410 8186
Based on the dubious attitude of your partners by trying to sideline me out
of the deal to divert the fund to a different bank account without your
approval, I therefore decided to delete the Transfer Security Access Code
(TSAC) of the fund which is only known to me as regards to my duty. I was
aggrived because I cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering
the risk as it might affect my job, that is why you have not received your
fund all these while. Your partner have done everything possible from the
back doors to transfer the fund to their provided bank account but without
success because after all their efforts, the transfer has to be made through
my office.
I am just telling you this because I have nothing against you. I do not know
if you have asked yourself why each time the release of this fund is
approved, all of a sudden, the payment will be delayed/stopped or one
problem or the other will come up. If you have not asked this question or
you do not know, this is an opportunity for you to know the truth of it all.
Why I am making this clear to you is that I understand that you are still
making efforts to receive your fund considering the time and money you have
spent so far.
Now I am ready to forget the past provided you co-operate with me. I need
your assurance that your so called partners will be totally kept out of this
transaction because they are simply wicked. I know that they are not aware
of my approach to you, therefore, stop spending your time and money to them
or any other person as I am the only key to this success. Finally, I need
your promise that no person, agent or representative will be aware of my
involvement in this regard because of my position. Note that I am ready to
conclude this transaction with you within five (5) working days once you are
ready to adhere to my directives.
Best Regards,
DR ALFUHARD MOHAMMED
