Fraud email example:
From: "Dr. Ateeq Rahman Khan" <ateeq_rkhan@zwallet.com> (may be fake)
Reply-To: ateeq_rahmankhan@yahoo.co.uk
Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 18:05:41 -0700
Subject: Investment Plan
Attention: Valuable Partner,
I am Mr. Ateeq Rahman Khan, Manager Logistics, Equity & Securities International, Dubai-UAE.
In my quest to carry out routine inspection in my office, I got this to tell you. I discovered a Fixed
Domiciliary Deposit Account valued USD9.5Million. It was deposited since April 2, 2001 by a
foreign customer, a Chemical Engineer and Senior Regional Manager of Petro-Chemie Consultancy
Services International, (Middle East).
Now in our computer system it records that this customer died of Diabetes on September 19, 2003.
Until date we have not received any signal from relation of the deceased customer for claim of the
deposited amount. Also I made several enquiries to his Embassy here to locate his family but without
any success as he did not mentioned any Next of Kin.
The main reason I am interested in this transaction is that
if the Cash in not claimed after 3-months Notice, it may
be forfeited to the Government Treasury as unclaimed fund.
And later be shared amongst the Board Members in the
Authority. And only a foreigner, can apply for the claim as
Next of Kin to the foreign depositor. So let this not be a
surprise I am contacting you on trust and because you
are a foreigner.
I got your contact during search on the internet. Now
I would like to seek for your consent to be presented
as Next of Kin. I want us to us to work as partners so
as to secure the deposited Cash into your custody for
investment purpose in your country.
Our company is ready to approve and release this Cash
to any foreigner who has the documented evidence and
information the supposed Next of Kin to the deceased
depositor should be able to provide.
And I have all these information, copy passport, certificate of deposit and
documented proof which would be requested by our
company. I can release them upon its demand, whilst
I be at back ground to guide and monitor the transaction
until it is successfully accomplished for our mutual benefit.
I guarantee this is a 100% risk free transaction and not a
hoax scam internet email circulating around the globe today.
This transaction with all the detailed documented evidence
and information at hands, will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect all parties from any breach of the Law.
Awaiting your immediate reply strictly to my private email address:
ateeq_rkhan@zwallet.com or ateeq_rahmankhan@yahoo.co.uk
Best regards and remain blessed.
Ateeq Rahman Khan
