Fraud email example:
From: "diplomatic corps" <dr.lewis224@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2005 09:39:38 +0000
Subject: Your Compliance is Needed
We are Diplomats that use our immunity and status to safekeep special
and valuable packages and baggage in trust for reputable clients that
are honest and trustworthy.
We work in collaboration with top firms and Governments of various
countries as we have earned a name as a service whose hallmarks in
reliability and confidentiality are revered.
International missions, Fellow Diplomats and Embassies of the world
have used our services to satisfaction.
A benefactor has mandated me to get someone that can assist her and her
family in retrieving her package containing some amount of money from a
Diplomatic Corp in South Africa.
The benefactor and her children have been confined only to their
country home and all their calls and movements are monitored, as a
result,its
absoultely impossible for them to do anything as regards retrieving the
money.
Their only means of communication is via internet and you are being
contacted because your assistance is needed in claiming the funds on their
behalf.
In order to clear any misgivings or doubts that you may have, it is
imperative that I give you an insight of who the benefactor is.
I do not know how conversant you are with events and the fragile
political situation in Liberia but it has made consistent headlines on CNN,
BBC and several news bulletins around the world.
The benefactor is Mrs.Suzana Isaac Nuhan Vaye, wife of the late Deputy
Minister of Works in Liberia (Isaac Nuhan Vaye) who was murdered by
Taylor during the regime of President Charles Taylor on the false
accusation and trumped up charges of trying to overthrow Charles Taylor.
The late Isaac Nuhan Vaye raised a substantial amount of money accrued
from Diamond Sales over a period of six years and these funds were
carefully moved out and deposited with Diplomats in South Africa for
safekeeping
before his assasination by Charles Taylor.
The amount accrued from the Diamond sales over this period of six years
is USD75M (Seventy Five Million U.S.Dollars) and these funds are fully
free of any liens, or encumbrances and are clean, clear and has no
criminal origin.
The funds have nothing to do with any form of illegality and all
documentations needed to prove the source of the funds were submitted when
the funds were being deposited and these documents would prove the source
of the funds and authenticate the fact that the funds are clean and has
no links whatsoever with either drugs or terrorism.
For your assistance in this transaction,the benefactor and her Children
have agreed to give you 25% of the total amount of money which is
equivalent to US$18.75 Million (Eighteen Million,Seven Hundred and Fifty
Thousand United States Dollars) for your role in this transaction which
involves retrieving the funds on their behalf from the Diplomats in
South Africa and all the information needed to claim the funds would be sent
to
you as soon as you indicate your interest in assisting them as well as
providing the following information to facilitate the smooth conclusion
of the transaction..
Requested Information are as follows;
1) Full Names and Address either Company or Residential Address
2) Private Telephone,Mobile and Fax Numbers where you can be reached at
all time as these numbers are important because they would be forwarded
to the Diplomats in order to notify them that you would be claiming the
funds on the benefactor's behalf.
You can verify the authenticity of this letter on one of the worlds'
top Newspapers below:
