Scam Money Transfers
Example - Mike David,
"THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF
(UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC)"
Did you receive an email from a "Mike David" who claims to be
the "Director in charge of auditing and accounting section
in a Union Bank of Nigeria Plc". He
claims that he wishes "to make a transaction that would be very beneficial
to both of us".
Even if this were all true, you would be committing several
felonies and would end up in prison. In reality, it is all a scam.
Mike David (not his real name, obviously) hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune. Below
are four emails from the scammer: the initial email and 3 follow-ups after the
potential victim replied.
If you would like a step by step
explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here!
Notice (highlighted below) that the scammer sent out a bulk
email to many, many people!
First email from the scammer:

BOTH OF US AT THE END OF THE TRANSACTION.
IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT (US$10 MILLION) TEN MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS FROM ONE OF THE LEADING BANKS IN NIGERIA (UNION BANK OF NIGERIA
PLC), I WANT YOU TO LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND
HONEST PERSON WHO WILL BE CAPABLE AND FIT TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY THROUGH THE
ASSISTANCE OF A DIPLOMATIC MEASURE. DURING THE COURSE OF OUR AUDITING LAST
MONTH, I DISCOVERED A FLOATING FUND IN AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN THE BANK IN 2003
AND SINCE 2006 NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN, AFTER GOING
THROUGH SOME OLD FILES, I DISCOVERED THAT THE OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT DID NOT
STATES ANY NEXT OF KIN, HENCE THE MONEY IS FLOATING AND IF I DO NOT REMIT
THIS MONEY OUT URGENTLY IT WILL BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING BY OUR MANAGEMENT.
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS ONE MR PREGENT DAVIDSON A FOREIGNER, AND AN
INDUSTRIALIST, AND NO OTHER PERSON KNOWS ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT OR ANY THING
CONCERNING IT, THE ACCOUNT HAS NO OTHER BENEFICIARY AND MY INVESTIGATION
PROVED TO ME AS WELL THAT MR PREGENT DAVIDSON UNTIL HIS DISAPEARANCE WAS THE
CEO OF DIAMOND SAFARI [PTY]. SA.
HOWEVER, I AM REVEALING THIS TO YOU BELIEVING IN GOD THAT YOU WILL NEVER
LET ME DOWN WHEN THE MONEY ENTERS YOUR HAND. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS
BUSINESS, I WILL GIVE TO YOU 40% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT, WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR
ME.
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ON MY ALTERNATIVE E-MAIL ADDRESS SET ASIDE FOR THIS
DEAL ALONE
(rev_mike56@yahoo.com)
AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
YOURSTRULY,
MR MIKE DAVID
AUDITOR GENERAL UBN.

Third email from the scammer:
Dear Mr. Jones,
Urgent! Urgent!! Urgent!!!
Please treat this below mail very very important and urgent"
I have been expecting your response even before now to inform you that I
have finanlly succeded in pulling out the fund $10Million United States
Dollars from my bank treasury {coffer} without the knowledge of anyone. As
am writing to you now, the fund is laying low in a security firm here in my
country waiting to be conveyed out to another country through Diplomatic
Immunity as Consignment. Diplomatic measure, is the means which some of our
Government Officials do use to transfer stolen funds abroad.
Note that, I don't want us to execute this transaction through banking
means, this is not a bank to bank transaction for security reasons, if this
fund finally get into your account, the bank president will want to know the
origin of the fund and it may not be in our favour at the end. Again, it
will require us paying huge tax, which is one of the reason why I took such
risk to remove the fund from my bank treasury not minding my job and
personality.
Dear Jones, know that this deal will require some financial input before
things can really happen in our favour. My duty here is to perfect the
necessary documentation for notary/ lawyer charges and delivery charges, you
will only be responsible to pay for the clerance charges before the
diplomats will be able to bring the consignment {fund} to you right at your
door step. The reason why I have decided to give you 40% out from the total
sum is because you will need to assist me both financially for this deal
{transaction to succeed as I will be fronting you to be the real owner of
the consignment {fund} to enable the security company believe that you are
truely the owner of the deposited consignment {fund} in their custody.
The consignment {fund} has been registered and deposited as Personal Effect
for Delivery, this means it is only you that I have reveal to that the exact
contents inside the consignment is fund. You should be rest assured that all
process of getting the consignment {fund} will be carried out legally, I
have perfected all modalities even before contacting you, there will not be
any problem now and in the future so do not entertain any kind of fear or
worry ok.
Send your full names/contact address to me, to enable me obtain all the
legal back-up documents on your behalf as the sole beneficiary {owner} of
the deposited consignment {fund}. you can as well reach me on my private
phone number +234-8035752597.
finally, note that i did not allow the security company know the real
content inside the consignment {fund}, it is only you that i have reveal the
truth to, that the consignment is carrying $10million united states dollars
for our own interest.
Call me immediately it is very very important we talk on phone.
I await your response and cooperation as regards to this information.

Mr. Mike David
Fourth email from the scammer (they are persistent):

ALMIGHTY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE FOR ONCE.
I WAS INFORMED BY THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF CONSIGNMENT THAT THEIR COMPANY
HAS THEIR OWN FLITE OF AIR-LINES, DUE TO THIS I PAID THEM $9,350 TO MAKE
SURE THE CONSIGNMENT IS NOT BEEN CHECKED IN THE PORT OF ENTRY. HE GAVE ME
THE FULL ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL SURELY CONVEY THE CONSIGNMENT TO YOU
WITHOUT ANY STOPING AS CONVEYING OF PERSONAL EFFECT CARGO'S {CONSIGNMENT} IS
NOT A PROBLEM TO THEM. THIS HAPPEN TO BE MY MAJOR REASON WHY I REGISTERED
THE CONSIGNMENT {FUND} AS PERSONAL EFFECT FOR DELIVERY.

{BENEFICIARY} OF THE DEPOSITED CONSIGNMENT {FUND} WHICH I HAVE ALREADY
FRONTED YOU TO BE, I SUGGEST YOU CONTACT THEM. NOW CAREFULLY FILL AND SEND
THIS BELOW MAIL TO THEM THROUGH THEIR E-MAIL ADDRESS GIVEN TO ME BY THE SAME
