Dr. Roger Amara, a doc from Malaysia explained me today how his client and himself wanted to transfer money from one account to another in order, probably to loose it’s track. Only one problem appeared: his client died, and now I would be the one who’d need to continue the process. Too bad it’s a scam.
ESTEEM GREETINGS
Good day to you.I would have contacted you through surface
mail, but because of time and for security reasons,I had
to reach you by email I apologize for breaking into your
privacy.Meanwhile,let me introduce myself to you.I am Dr.Roger E.
Amar,I am a doctor at Hospital Queen Elizabeth
Malaysia,For the past six years,I have been the private
doctor to her Excellency,Chief Mrs.Stella Chincona
Obi.Last month,she came to our clinic for a liver
transplant and my assistant (Agathe Dawson) helped me in
the transplant operation.The liver transplant was successful,but minutes later she
had some Complications that threw her into a terrible
coma.all the efforts we made,she died.A day before the
transplant operation,she came to my apartment to finalize
a deal with me,She has already called me from her country
two weeks before her arrival in Malaysia,to inform me
about this transaction and what she want me to do for
her.the main plan is to use my position as a reputable
doctor with the hospital,to remit the sum of $4.5 million
into Hospital Queen Elizabeth account with our bank.The whole arrangement was completed and the fund was
carefully deposited with our bank.Her plans was to
transfer the fund into some private bank accounts in
Switzerland once she gets back to her country,so that the
management of the hospital will not know about the fund
and claim it. But unfortunately.she died some hours after
the liver transplant.My main reason for contacting you is for you to assist in
transferring this sum of $4.5 million by presenting you
as a business partner or beneficiary to the deceased since
she has no next of kin,and more over no one knew about
this funds apart from me and her,because some auditors
will be coming in to check and balance Hospital Queen
Elizabeth account by next month and they will surely
discover the fund. Then,the hospital management will claim
the fund.based on this secrecy of this fund,I would not be able to
handle this transaction alone.I need somebody that is not
related or connected to me in anyway,to be able to secure
this fund,as soon as possible.So,I consider it necessary
to intimate you on the profitable venture.I am even
thinking of us going into partnership,we can invest the
fund in any profitable business there in your country and
you will be in charge of all the affairs there.Which ever
way you want it is okay by me.We don.t have much time to waste,so please,reply
immediately to enable us arrange on how to get this fund
transferred before the hospital claims it.My sincere regards,
Dr.Roger E. Amar.

It is clearly a scam. I’m not going to answer this one, but if I would, the phisher most likely would ask me to wire or deposit some money in a bank account which would cover the expenses of the transfer. Nonetheless to say that I would see nothing in return. He would be happy, me not.

Since is extremely confidential, I’m going to publish it.
The mail arrived to me in this format, without linebreaks or any formatting whatsoever, so don’t blame me, please.
This is a scam and if you received this e-mail too, please, don’t answer it.
Mr. Ahmed Moola. CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT ABSA BANK LTD. JOHANBNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. TELL: 27732401244 Re: to accountant-moola@webmail.co.za ahmed.charteredaccountant.mool@gmail.com URGENT REPLY NEEDED Attn: I am Mr. Ahmed Moola, Chartered Accountant of AMALGAMETED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA.(ABSA)I have decided to contact you through this medium based on a business proposal which will be of mutual benefit to both of us. However, I got your contact through a BUSINESS TRADE MANUAL in South African Chamber Of Commerce in my search for a foreign business partner whom I will transfer this fund in his personal or company’s account . During the annual bank auditing, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$ 42,000 000:00 (FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS ONLY) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers (Dr. Mohamed Gale) a citizen of Saudi Arabia, who lost his life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 2003.View this website;(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm ). Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money, because we can not release it unless some bodies apply for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, nobody has come forward to claim this money. It is based on this, that some officials in my department and I have decided to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting you. If you indicate interest in this transaction I will let you know they steps to take for a smooth transaction for the approval of this fund from the Bank in your favor. The mode of sharing after the transfer of the money into your nominated bank account will be as follows: 65% for me and my colleagues, 30% will be given to you for your assistance and 5% will be mapped out to offset expenses during the course of the transaction. In receipt of this mail, call me immediately via the above phone or email and kindly send me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please treat this business proposal STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Mr. Zafar Habib Khan sais I’m a millionaire… again

United Arab Emirates. One of the coolest places on the planet. This time I got a letter from Mr. Zafar Habib Khan, who, as he states works for a bank in the UAE. As usual, his client died, money is frozen in his bank and he needs my help to grab the money. Here’s the full story:
Greetings from Dubai,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe
it is only a day that people meet and become great friends
and business partners. I am Mr. Zafar Habib Khan,currently
Chief Investment Officer with a reputable bank here in U. A. E.
I write you this proposal in good faith,believing that I can
trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition
for you. On November 6, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant
/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR MOHAMMAD
AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months,valued
at US$17,500,000.00 (seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand
Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his account officer
before I was moved to my present position recently. Upon
maturity in 2003, as his account officer and as well the bank
manger, it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but the
letter was returned undelivered.After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was
again returned and finally I discovered from his contract
employers, Chevron Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Mohammad Al
Nasser died as a result of torture in the hand of Saddam
Hussein (former Iraqi President) during one of his trips to
his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information
to the Americans. On further investigation, I discovered
that Mr. Al Nasser’s family wife and two sons died during
the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did not declare
any next of kin or relation in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not
leave any WILL. This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have been
floating and placed under dormant/unserviceable account by my
bank management since no one have heard from the owner since
2003. I wish to let you know that all the investigation I
have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am
the only one that have the information.With the recent change of government in my country and with
their efforts to support the United Nations in checkmating
terrorism aid in the U. A. E. By end of this year, the
government will pass a new financial control law which will
give the government authority to interrogate account owners
of above $5,000,000.00 to explain the source of the funds,
making sure it is not for terrorism support. If I do not
move this money out of the country immediately, by end of
the year the government will definitely confiscate the money,
because my bank cannot provide the account owner to explain
the source of the money.I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help
of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an
assistance. As the Account Officer to late Al Nasser,coupled
with my present position and status in the bank as Chief
Credit & Risk Officer , I have the power to influence the
release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the
next of kin to the account, with the correct information
concerning the account, which I shall give you. All documents
to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out and
there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of law, beside U. A. E is porous and anything
goes.If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you
wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both
parties will be satisfied. If you are interested, contact
me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over
the details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send
you copy of thedeposit certificate issued to Al Nasser when the deposit
was made for your perusal.I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. Zafar Habib Khan.
Gone fishing… Sorry, Phishing: 4 million dollars and me

Gucci, Rolex and Viagra. These are the offers of the spammers without imagination. But sometimes there are men who are clever enough and go another route: offer people high amount of money in exchange for their personally identifiable information, like name, address and so on.
This day is a great day for me, because Mr. Peter Wong offered me 50 per cent of 8 million US dollars, if I send some of my details. The bad part is, that — in this story –, this money belonged to an Iraqi family. 8 million dollars, huh?
Read the message, should be interesting:
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.peter wong Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
hong kong.An Iraqi named farouk bassem,a business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 12 calendar months, this is valued to Eight Million
United State Dollars only in my branch.Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war,
four years ago(2004).Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him.We later found out that farouk bassem and his family had been killed
during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home at Mukaradeeb.After further investigation it was also discovered that farouk bassem
did not declare any next of kin in his official paper s including
the paper work of his bank deposit. My proposal is to put you as next of
kin and have the funds released to you for us to share 50/50 for your
assistance.Should you be interested in executing this with me; indicate your
interest by sending me Your response with your name,address,
occupation and phone number to reach me at my personal email address below:peter.wong44@yahoo.com.hk

My public answer for Mr. Peter Wong: Currently I’m not in need of 4 million dollars, sorry.
