Scam Money Transfers
Example - Frank Smith Jr ,
"I seek your permission to present you to the security company in Ghana as my fathers foreign partner, so as to help us clear out this deposit from them as the beneficiary", "is "moved from the security company to out of the country""
Have you received an email from "Frank Smith Jr, a National
of Somalia",
who says "I seek your permission to present you to the security company in Ghana as my fathers foreign partner, so as to help us clear out this deposit from them as the beneficiary"? 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
"Frank Smith Jr ", needs YOUR help to ensure that the fortune is "moved from the security company to out of the country". Odd that they'd pick a total stranger,
in a foreign
country to trust their money to, don't you think? And we'll bet "Frank Smith" is
a common name in Africa. Right...
Of course, it is a scam. Don't reply to it.

Scam email from "Frank Smith Jr "
From: FRANK SMITH JR [ smithjrfrank1@yahoo.com ]
Dear Friend, As you read this letter i want you to digest it with humane
heart, I am Frank Smith a National of Somalia, unfortunately one of the very few
christians in this region before the outbreak of the war.
My father Mr.Dan Smith
a diamond merchant in Liberia lost his life in his effort to come over to take
us with him to Liberia where he considered to be a lot safer than
home, unfortunately he didnt live to see his family anymore. May his soul rest in
perfect peace.
We are a family of six but the war has reduced us to two in number, presently i'm left alone with my sick mother who is suffering from
leukemia.
Before my father's untimely death he informed me of a box he deposited
with a security company in Accra Ghana for safe keeping. This box contains all
the money my father made from his diamond deals in Liberia, as he had planned on
retiring and relocating with his family to europe.
For this reason i humbly seek
your permission to present you to the security company in Ghana as my fathers
foreign partner, so as to help us clear out this deposit from them as the
beneficiary as we cannot do so with the present situation in my country. I have
in my custody all the required documents to enable you accomplish this
objective, i'll make all the neccessary documents available to you once you are
willing to help me and my mother to conclude this objective.
I and my mother are
ready to part with 40% of this sum for your involvement if you are ready to help
us. We will also need you to help us secure all the needed documents to enable us
come over to your country as soon as you receive the deposit and have the funds
deposited into a safe account. I and look forward to your urgent reply
concerning our above request,
May the good Lord continue to bless you in your
various endeavour as you take your time to go through this email.
Thank you for
your kindness and goodwill.
Regards,
Frank Smith Jr
