OK, this might be legit, but the part where they say they *ahem* "prefer" to get payment via irrevocable lol certainly inclines me to think otherwise. Just thought I'd share. :)

I think what is going on is that these scammers are looking for people so gullible they actually believed Michael Schiavo.

Operated on this account again,after going through some old
Files in the records I discovered that the owner of the
Account died without a heir hence the money is
floating And if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
Forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account was aNational of
your country, and an Industrialist, he died since 2002 and no other
person knows about this account or anythingConcerning it, the account
has no beneficiary and my Investigation proved to me as well that
Until his death was a Manager with an oil firm in Nigeria.
I am contacting you as a foreigner because this Money can only
be approved to a foreigner with a Foreign account because the
Money is in us dollars and the former owner
of the account is a foreigner.

The first and the only person I am contacting for the
Business so Please reply urgently for me to tell

OK, so 35% of $18,000,000 US, is a mere pittance compared to 15 million pounds. But what the hey. :)

From the desk: Barrister Andrew Frank Duke (Esq)

1 Bankole street, Apongbon, Lagos,

Nigeria.

Dearest,

I am Barrister Andrew Frank Duke, a Solicitor; I am the Personal Attorney
to Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in
the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31
2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the
crash on visiting this site. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
and Unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have
made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member
of His family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposit was lodged. Particularly, Crystal Bank Limited where
the deceased had an account valued at about US$9.5million dollars.

Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since
I have been Unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4years now, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner, regardless of your country, with your name address,
some vitals documents will be obtained on your favor which will back you
as the next of kin to my client. The proceeds of this account valued at US$9.5
Million dollars will be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should before expenses or tax as your
government may require.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get
in touch with me through this email address
to enable us discuss further.

Best regards,

Barrister Andrew Frank Duke (esq)

MY DEAR BELOVED
From: Mrs. Alliyah Johnson.
17 Copse Hill, Wimbledon,
SW20 0NE, London,
United Kingdom.

My Dear Beloved,

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I am married to Sir Gerald Johnson who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea
England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next 4 months due to a rare form of cancer of the pancreas.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God
fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

Though I may not know you personally I want to tell you that, through divine word of wisdom from above,I was asked to tell you to do this, not for me but for The Almighty Allah because you are blessed and you have been chosen to do
mighty works for the Almighty Allah. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and destitute persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universe. I understand that blessed
is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to
be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify.

I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid
of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the AlmightyAllah. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my
husband's relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me. My
happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the
Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. I
will also be most glad if you can tell me a little about yourself.Hoping to hear from you. Thank you and may the Almighty Allah bless you.You can contact me with your positive responds via Email:

Good day,

I am a, staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC) United Kingdom. I am contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed under our banks management 4 years ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

In 2002, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.

I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2004, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring
cash payments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm. I informed him that the bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and h ighly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited . He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2004.

In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit , and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of china. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patroni ze our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate.

In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC accou nting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOC is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent grea t amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a fami ly man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing.

If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come eas y or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response on this email: lejemic1@yahoo.com.cn to enable us commence this line of discussion.


I await your response.

He wants mini blinds, but then talks of the total weight of the fence wire to be shipped. Does this sound legitimate? I don't think I would order squat until the credit card number is processed and the funds in my account. What do you think? I make about ten bucks per blind, so there's real money involved. Why would he have chosen me?

The new "free puppy" scam. I'll post the article so you don't have to register:

Latest Internet scam concern - free puppy ads

Anne Ryman
The Arizona Republic
May. 29, 2007 11:14 AM
Internet scammers have tried just about everything, and now they've gone to the dogs.

Puppy scams are popping up in Arizona online and print classified ads, where the seller appears to be local and offers free English bulldogs or Yorkshire terriers. But when contacted by email, the seller says he or she is in Africa on a religious mission and promises to ship the dog overnight for a few hundred dollars.

A similar scenario is playing out in other states and countries, prompting consumer warnings Tuesday from the Better Business Bureau and the American Kennel Club. Consumer officials say the scam targets unsuspecting puppy buyers who never receive the promised puppies or recover their money.




Officials at the Better Business Bureau of Central/Northern Arizona say the scam has cropped up in variations since at least December 2006. Sellers advertise in online and print classified ads and their own Web sites. A flurry of recent complaints prompted this week's warning.

Phoenix resident Sue Skidmore was intrigued when she saw a recent classified ad offering an English bulldog with Kennel Club papers and a "championship bloodline" for free. She was surprised that anyone would offer such an outstanding dog for free. Her husband had always wanted an English bulldog, and if the offer was true, it was too good to pass up.

She dialed the local number and found it was disconnected. She sent an email to the address listed and within 15 minutes got a response offering her a 10-week-old puppy named Dan. The puppy was free, the seller wrote, but would cost $300 shipping and handling wired through Western Union. There was one other catch. The dog was overseas.

"I am in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife, and we have her right here with us," the sender wrote. "And I hope that you are also a good Christian that will take very good care of our baby."

The response seemed fishy to Skidmore, who passed on the offer. But she worries that someone else will fall for the bait.

"I think they prey on people," said Skidmore, a college professor who has four mixed-breed dogs ranging in age from 3 to 16.

While Skidmore didn't send any money, the American Kennel Club in New York City has received reports of at least a half-dozen victims, including a woman who lost $1,000 when she paid for a puppy that never arrived, said Kennel Club spokeswoman Daisy Okas. The organization started getting complaints about a month ago.

"This particular 'Nigerian missionary' scam seems to be coming to a head right now," she said.

The scam focuses on popular breeds such as English bulldogs, Yorkshire terriers and other expensive breeds. The sellers post local phone numbers to give themselves credibility. The phone numbers turn out to be disconnected or are from a church or business that has no relation to the ad.

In Arizona, local breeders are aware of the scam and are concerned about people falling for the scheme.

"It just puts a bad name on us reputable breeders," said Lauralee Kendall, who owns SunShine Yorkie Kennels in Peoria.

Kendall said it's important for people to know who is selling the dog, and where the seller lives so the buyer can return it the pet if there are any problems.

It's unknown how many complaints have been lodged in Arizona.

Skidmore said she didn't file a complaint because she didn't lose any money.

The Arizona Attorney General's Office declined comment on whether the office has received any complaints or is investigating. Spokeswoman Andrea Esquer said she is aware of the scam. (

Newspaper classified ad departments around the country are pulling the suspicious pet ads off their Web sites every day. The scams are the talk of classified ads forums, with managers sharing ideas about how to stop the problem.

At The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, it's common for employees to pull 80 suspicious puppy ads a week, said Amy Hannon-Glennon, classified advertising sales center manager. The ads are placed overnight, using stolen credit cards that have not been cancelled yet.

Each morning, employees check the Web site and remove suspicious ads as soon as possible, Hannon-Glennon said.

"We are doing everything we can to prevent fraudulent ads from appearing," she said.

She described it as the "most horrible scam I've ever dealt with" in terms of being persistent and hard to stop.

The ads have common traits, she said. A pricey puppy is usually advertised for free, and the only way to reach the seller is through an email account such as one from Yahoo or Hotmail. The dogs are often English bulldogs and Yorkshire terriers, although she recently has begun to notice suspicious ads for teacup Chihuahuas.

Sometimes the seller is in such a hurry to post the ad that an advertisement for a Yorkie will carry a photo of an English bulldog.

Britsh, is consistently spelled out as BritHish...

Anyone I ever knew in the military with a 2 syllable last name and they shortened into a nick...with a name like Vaness, it would have become Van, not Ess. (No GI I can think of, would have gone by "ess". Its too close to a-ss.)

Just the latest gimmick I suppose,or variant of the nIgerian scam scheme.

This is getting better and better. These people are using IP Relay (such as what deaf people use) to try to place orders, and then send the emails like what are listed above.

When you try to be polite and explain to them that you are not comfortable with the progression of this, they use the IP relay system to keep asking Why? over and over and over.

One thing I have found that works if you are not sure if something is legitimate or not. Tell them you need the full credit card number, expiration date, and billing address. If they actually do provide you with any information, run the card with address verification. If it is fraudulent, the card will be declined.
