Fraud email example:
From: "WANNY KREUZ" <wannykreuz20@ig.com.br>
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2008 09:13:09 +0100
Subject: ADEX SECURITY/COURIER COMPANY
Hello once Again
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $2.5m United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since for
a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has
expired or getting near to expire and Dr. Mensah the Executive Director of
the Bank of Africa(BOA) told me that before the draft will get to your hand
that it will expire also many Foreign banks are reluctant to honor Bank
Draft that usually come from Africa due to the fraudlent act going on from
that part of the World,so he decided that it would be better that he convert
the Bank Draft into cash and packaged your funds of US$2.5 Million in form
of Personal Diplomatic Package and send it to you via special diplomatic
means and you will receive your funds in your Country.
So I told him to cash the $2.5m USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to
avoid losing this funds since Foreign banks are reluctant to honor Bank
Draft that comes from Africa as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months
Course and I will not come back till ending of November 2008.
You are to contact the ADEX SECURITY/COURIER COMPANY as soon as possible to
know when they will deliver your Package to you because of the expiring
date. For your information, I HAVE PAID FOR THE DELIVERING CHARGE, INSURANCE
PREMIUM.
The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your Package
direct to your postal Address in your country is ($190.00 US) One Hundred &
Ninty United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier
Company so far, I would have paid that but they said no because they don't
know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
You are advice to contact Adex Courier Company now for the delivery of your
fund with your deposit SECURITY CODE SCTC/2001DHX/567/;
