Fraud email example:
From: "MR PAUL LEPOTOO" <paullepotoo@yahoo.com> (may be fake)
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2004 22:49:38 -0700
Subject: From Mr. Frankline Olu Ezeh.
Mr. Paul Lepoto
Johannesburg South Africa
21.06.04
Attn: Chairman/CEO,
My name is Mr. Paul Lepoto, the stepson of Mr. Terry ford of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address; I got it from the net. Don't be worried because I am contacting you in good faith.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
Terry was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the President political ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. Before this unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had already visited South Africa to deposit the sum of Thirteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$13.5M) in the safe vault of a Security and financial company here in Johannesburg South Africa.
This action was taken because Terry felt the growing tension on the farm issue but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought his brutal death. At the time of deposition,the
real content was not disclosed to the security officials; instead, it was deposited as family valuables? valued for the real content in the consignment.
After the bloody incident, we all had to escape our country for the safety of our lives. We seek refuge in South Africa and we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees under section (5.9). Because of our present and unpleasant status, my mother and I are seriously looking forward to having an overseas partner that will assist us with the convenient and legal transfer of the funds out of South Africa.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 20% of the total fund, and 5% of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses
incurred during this transaction. 75% will be for my family to buy shares in your company or investing in your country under your supervision.
For detailed information, you can contact me through my email. I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly welcomed.
I wait to hear from you. Be with God.
Best Wishes,
Paul Lepoto
for family
