Fraud email example:
From: "Dr. Tim Smith" <s.tim91@hotmail.com>
Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 07:33:50 +0200
Subject: Good Day,
Good Day,
First and foremost I would like to apologize for infringing on your privac=
y by sending you an unsolicited email, I would have given you a call, but =
rather I decided to contact you via an email to get us acquainted since it=
is a safer way of private communication. If you must know, I came about y=
our contact information through a random search with my client's name on t=
he Internet while trying to locate any link to him.=20
I am Dr. Tim Smith a personal account adviser/officer to a great late indu=
strialist who has an account in one of the top banks here in Ghana. It has=
been seven years now since he died in the year 2000 without a written or =
an oral will to the best of my knowledge from information I gathered via h=
is attorney here in Ghana and since then nobody has operated on his accoun=
t again hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out u=
rgently it will be forfeited for nothing since the bank has been sold on M=
onday, 19 September 2006 to another bank and the management of the bank ar=
e now ready to release the fund to any foreigner who has the correct infor=
mation of the account before fully handing over the management to the new =
bank. The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows a=
bout this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other bene=
ficiary. My investigation through the National immigration department prov=
ed to me as well that he was single as at the point of his entry into Ghan=
a.=20
As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for inves=
tment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management =
of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this=
account which I will give you immediately, if you are interested to do th=
is business with me.=20
Firstly, before I will disclose the said amount to you, I must solicit you=
r strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its natur=
e as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your abi=
lity and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude. I=
solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your s=
afe account for onward investment. You can either provide us with an exist=
ing account or to set up a new bank account immediately to receive this mo=
ney, even an empty bank account can serve to receive this money, as long a=
s you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business tr=
usting in you and believing that you will never let me down either now or =
in future.=20
As soon as I hear from you, and upon your strong assurance that you will n=
ot let me down once the fund goes into your account I will then start to p=
rocess the transfer of the fund to your account without further delay.=20
If interested contact me email (s.tim91@hotmail.com [mailto:s.tim91@hotmai=
l.com]) for further details.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Tim Smith
