Fraud email example:
From: Temple Nkrumah <templenkrumah@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 21:09:20 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Urgent Attention
Temple Nkrumah is my name, a local gold miner here in the Obuasi area of Ghana writing to solicit your assistance to be my foreign partner.
early this year i met with someone in your country who want to buy gold from me and asked that i ship some quantity of gold over. There is now ready 150Kg of gold which i have got from several local miners like myself. he agreed to pay but when he receives the gold in good condition. he also agreed to pay10% of the cost of the gold to enable me ship it before he can pay the balance. one of our agreement is that he will pay this money through my partner in your country so because he cannot send the money by wire transfer which is faster to me. there is no person in your country who can help me receive this money and send it to me by wire transfer. i need the money to settle other people who gave me their gold to sell for them over here. my profit is made on turover which means the more i sell over a short time, the more money i get.
the delay in getting our money in the past is too much. some customers are asking that give them account to pay our money for us and we dont have account in your country. that is why i want to know if you can be of help and be foreign partner and receive the payments on my behalf
so that you can then send it to me and reduce the delay because our profit is made on turnover and the more we sell, the more we gain. 5% of every payment made through you will be for your service.
please let me know what you think about this immedaitly because there
is a customer who is ready to send his 10% to pay for the shipping of 150KG of gold now but i dont know what to tell as i have not met the requirement of having someone to be my partner and collect this money so that i can ship the gold to him and then he pay the full balance.
