Scam Money Transfers
Example -
MR MIKHAIL DZYUBAN,
"Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia"

Did you receive an email from a "MR MIKHAIL DZYUBAN, Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia" who  has "FUNDS TO BE RE-PROFILLED"  It's a variation of the usual dead, wealthy person with no will and no heirs and you-have-the-same-last-name - scam! Only this time it is the former head of Yukos Oil, who the present dictator of Russia (Vladimir Putin) has in jail (to make sure Putin would have no opposition). How did he find YOU of all people to send the former oil baron's hidden money?  Also see this version of the scam.

In any case, MR MIKHAIL DZYUBAN" hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.  If you would like a step by step explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here!
