Fraud email example:
From: Larry Jaja <larryjaja3434@yahoo.com>
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 06:30:27 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
FROM: LARRY JAJA.
TEL: 27-83-358-2551.
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTN: DIRECTOE/CEO.
I got your contact address through South African information and
exchange (S.A.I.E), while searching for a safe and accommodative country to
invest, I contact you based on the need of foreign beneficiary and excellence in
business which assured me of your capability and reliability to invest in your country.
Before I proceed, I will like to introduce myself, I am LARRY JAJA the son of late MR. EDWARD JAJA who was murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe. My
late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold
blood by the ruling government of PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support on the sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before the death of my father, he went to JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA and deposited the sum of US$25.5M. (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR) with a SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY, as if he knows the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The fund was deposited as precious stone to avoid much demurrage from
Security firm. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery’s
and chemicals for the farm and establishment of new farm in Lesotho and
Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
act, which wholly affect the white rich farmers and some few blacks, vehemently condemned the "MODUS OPERATION" adopted by the government. This resulted killing and mob action. I and my family who were presently staying in South Africa as a refugee or asylum seekers have decided to transfer this money to your account overseas to where we can invest it.
We are afraid of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political history. Moreover, the South African monitory policy/law does not allow such investment hence I'm seeking for asylum. I must let you know that this business is hundred percent risks free and nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
Therefore, if you are willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to give you 20% of the total money while 5% will be mapped out for the expenses we might incur during this transaction, then 75% will be for investment in your country.
I also need your private telephone and fax numbers for easier Communication,
remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this transaction depends on how secret is been kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards,
LARRY JAJA.
(For the family).
