Scam Business
Proposals
Mr. Sanni Abbas, I WORK WITH ECO BANK PLC
Did you receive an email claiming to be from Sanni Abbas, who
says he works with "ECO BANK" or "Eco Bank" and they want to transfer millions of dollars to
your bank account? It is a scam. Again, frankly, we can't understand why
anyone would think this is legitimate. There aren't foreigners in poor Third
World nations with millions of dollars that they want to give to you.
They're playing on your greed and stupidity.
We've highlighted
a few of the more obvious signs of a scam in their email below, such as: keep
confidential, use of free hotmail/yahoo email accounts, someone died leaving
millions and no heirs, "trust me, I'm counting on you", many references to God
or Jesus, the rich person who died did so in an accident that was mentioned in a
newspaper (which they use to add credibility to the story), etc.
And we should add that if this story were real, and you did do
what the scammer asked... you would be committing a felony, called fraud.

Subject: Dear Ware"""Appointment as next of kin/Please get back to
me
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 15:26:43 +0000
Dear Ware,
I greet you in the name of
GOD, the Beneficent, and the Merciful. Before I introduce
myself, I wish to inform you
that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat
it serious. We want to transfer fund to overseas account the sum of
($25,500.000.00 USD)Twenty fIve Million Five
hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from a Bank here in Nigeria
.
I want to ask you, If you are capable to quietly
provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive
this fund, even an empty account can serve to receive this
fund,as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this
important business,trusting in you and
believing in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr Sanni Abbas,I WORK WITH ECO BANK PLC during the course of
our auditing last week, I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1997 and since 1999 till date, nobody has
operated on this account again, after going through some old files
in the records I
discovered that the owner of
the account died without a beneficiary to the account hence
the money is floating and if I do not remit this fund out urgently
it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson of 61, of
Fairbanks, Alaska an American and a great industrialist,business
leader and largest private land owner resident of Fairbanks City
Alaska State who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed, including his wife(Thelma Tho
mpson)and only daughter(Sheryl Thompson)leaving nobody to claim the
fund.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 the account is a secret
account.
The total amount involve is Twenty Five Million FiVE Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only [$25,500.000.00]and I wish to
transfer this fund into a safe foreigners account abroad. But I
don't know any foreigner; I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this fund cannot be approved to a local person here, but to
a foreigner who has information about the account, which I shall
give to you upon your positive response. I am revealing this to you
with believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business,you are the first and the only person that I am contacting
for this business. So, please reply urgently so that I will inform
you the next step to take urgently.
I need your strong assurance
that you will never let us down, me and a key bank official
who is deeply involved with me in this business. I guarantee that
this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. The bank official
will
destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this
money leaving no trace to any place. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the
total amount, 50% will be for me, while 10% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.
Furthermore, the transaction is Risk Free, there is no risk involved
and the utmost paramount of this transaction is Secret and
Confidential due to my 15 years of meritious service with the Eco
Bank Plc.Which I dont want to jeopardize.
Note that,all correspondence should be by phone and by e-mail,I will
be extremely happy if you can abide to my instructions, I believe
the sky shall be our limit and I am willing to invest in your area
of specialization at the end of this transaction. Feel free to
contact me directly via my email address or telephone. Thanks for
your anticipated co-operation
