Scam Money Transfers
Example - Judith Johnson,
Adopt My Daughter, Please
"My husband, a local chief in our community is late and we have only one daughter. Our tradition forbids women to inherit estates of their deceased husband, it is worse when a woman did not have a male child for a deceased chief.", "I was advised by the management of the vaulting company that the only way the fund could be released to us is that we find somebody who will adopt my daughter so that they can transfer the money in the `name of the adopter since my daughter is below the age of 21 as this is against the mandate on the fund... we are soliciting your help to stand as an adoptee and allow the payment comes through you"
It sounds like an old Henny Youngman joke: Have you received an email from "Judith Johnson",
who says
"My husband, a local chief in our community is late and we have only one daughter. Our tradition forbids women to inherit estates of their deceased husband, it is worse when a woman did not have a male child for a deceased chief."?
And what follows is a convoluted sob story of one misery
after another, along with a healthy dose of gibberish, spelling errors, terrible
gram, syntax and punctuation, not exactly befitting an extremely wealthy person. And now, poor bereaved
"Judith Johnson", needs YOUR help:
"I was advised by the management of the vaulting company that the only way the fund could be released to us is that we find somebody who will adopt my daughter so that they can transfer the money in the `name of the adopter since my daughter is below the age of 21 as this is against the mandate on the fund... we are soliciting your help to stand as an adoptee and allow the payment comes through you".
Gee, she's from such a backwoods tribe, yet she has internet
access, and her name is "Judith Johnson". And since they saw this problem coming
years in advance, why didn't Chief Poop-for-Brains just GIVE his wife the money,
while he was alive?
Odd that she'd pick a total stranger,
in a foreign
country to adopt her daughter and take their money, don't you think?
OF COURSE, it is a scam. Don't reply to it.

To Whom It May Concern
Attention: Mr/Ms
My husband, a local chief in our community is late
and we have only one daughter. Our tradition forbids women to inherit
estates of their deceased husband, it is worse when a woman did not have a
male child for a deceased chief.
Before his death, he was so worried of my inability
of giving him a male child and what await my daughter and I if he dies. He
gave up the ghost on the 16th of September, 2007. After the entire burial
rite, I was striped of all the entitlement and sent away from my husband
domain to my family home. My parents are late and I have only one brother
who is a farmer with a wife and children.
Our new found live has not been easy. On the 4th of
January 2008, I received an urgent invitation from Gk-vaulting company and
there I was told that my late husband kept in their vault the sum of $4
Million for safe keep and my daughter is the benefactor in their form.
I was advised by the management of the vaulting
company that the only way the fund could be released to us is that we find
somebody who will adopt my daughter so that they can transfer the money in
the `name of the adopter since my daughter is below the age of 21 as this is
against the mandate on the fund or we wait until she becomes 21 years, she
is 17 years now.
We cannot afford to wait for that time otherwise we
will die and losses the fund so, we are soliciting your help to stand as an
adoptee and allow the payment comes through you.
Be informed that my daughter’s surname will remain
the same as "Johnson" and the adoption is just only on paper, there will be
no legal protocol that will empower you to claim ownership of my daughter in
the near future or to claim all the entitlement after the fund has been
transferred to you. What you are entitled to is just the commission that
will be given to you which we have proposed the sum of $500,000.
If you are willing to be of help to us, please send
your name, Address, phone and fax number and the process will be explained
to you.
Treat as Urgent.
Yours truly,
Judith Johnson.
