- analysis -

these spam mails are quite common, and there are a number of variations on them.

the mails always state that someone has access to a large sum of money, but needs your help in order to access the funds. they promise you a percentage of the money if you help from your side to free the funds.

this is more than simply spam. there have been reports that this is actually an elaborate con.

there are a number of variations of what can happen if you reply to the sender of the mail. here is one that we have been informed about:

you contact the mailer. they inform you that they want to move the funds to your bank account. they request your bank details. there are then 2 things that can happen. they either use your bank account details to transfer money out of your account, by forging the other required details - forging your signature etc. the other way is that they inform you that the money is about to be transferred, but that they need you to pay the transfer costs, and the set up of the company that will own the money, or some other miscellaneous costs. once you pay this money to the account details that they give you, you never hear from them again.

ATTENTION PLEASE:
CREDIT TRANSFER AND INVESTMENT.

Dear Belove Friend,

Permit me to inform you of my desire to do business with you with my money in your country. I am a 37 year old business woman from ANGOLA in South Africa.

I elate to inform you that I inherited a total sum of $10.5 million Us dollars (Ten million Five hundred thousand dollars) from my late husband CHIEF MATHEW DORAN, a gold and diamond dealer who was murdered in 2003 by the former ANGOLA president Mr. SAVIMBI over the dispute in their diamond and gold deal.

THIS IS TRUTH FROM MY HEART.

This money which is concealled in a box is deposited in a safe deposit company here in Cotonou, Republic of Benin where I am presently taking refuge with my two kids. The box was deposited as family treasure not money for security reason.

That is to say that the deposit company does not know that the box contain money.This was done under a high powered government conection because the president of this country Mr Mathieu kerekou is a family friend.

Your assistance is now sought in the transfer of this money to you country for investment into any lucrative business of your choice.

By this mail, you are requested to visit me here for familiarisation and to enable us arrange on how to get this box out from the deposit company and transfer this money into your account in your country after which I will go back with you.

But if you can not come down here, the director of the deposit company can arrange and bring it to you in your country under their diplomatic coverage system just the same way it was brought from my country to this place.

THIS IS REAL AND TRUE SAYING FROM MY HEART.

You will be required to send me your picture to enable me know the person that I am dealing with.I will send mine soon after repairing my scan machine which is now faulty.

You will contact a lawyer here in Republic of Benin who will go to the company to request for the release and transfer of my money in your name and favour as the new beneficiary.

For rendering this service, you will be highly compensated, a situation that will be discussed later. I want you to take this transaction very serious because it will benefit you..I will later tell you why I reposed this trust and confidence in you,a person I have not met before.

we must act fast because it cost me $100 daily as demurage to the deposit company keeping this box and the earlier we remove it from there the better for us. This is not scam please.

I know about scam because my late husband was a victim before his death.
Looking forward to your reply at your earliest convinience. Forsecurity reasons, contact me through my private email:( m_do0001@yahoo.com )


God bless.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Doran charity.
