Short and to the point: Mr. Kareem has access to an abandoned fortune, and if you help, he’ll cut you in on the deal. What could go wrong? For “Mr. Kareem,” once he has your money in his pocket, nothing at all!

This is the male version of the dying widow scam. Poor Mr. Stevenson (who doesn’t exist) has esophageal cancer. Won’t you help him give away his millions before he dies? There’s a cut in it for you, too! (Or there will be, once you’ve paid the advance fee….)

This is an example of the familiar plane crash scam, in which a dead millionaire has left behind a fortune in a bank that no one knows about. (It’s refreshing to see an example that doesn’t involve the ubiquitous Andreas Schranner.) Poor Mr. Hoffman won’t miss his money, of course, because he’s dead, so if you just help this “audit manager” get the money out of the country he’ll cut you in. Of course it will take some of your money up front to get the wheels turning — he didn’t mention that part — and then once you’ve paid the advance fee, “Mr. Mujahideen” will disappear, never to be heard from again.

Some scammers rely on a sense of mystery to hook you in. “Daniel Ansara,” supposedly a lawyer in Malaysia, has been looking for you! Why, he can’t tell you. But it involves executing a project. (The project involves transferring money from you to him, but he wouldn’t want to give that secret away, would he.)

Marriage scams are as old as money scams. (Or are they the same thing?) “Helen Collins” might like to marry you — if you are marriage minded, serious, and trustworthy. She’ll even relocate from South Africa or Great Britain to join you! Of course this would depend upon you sending her some money (a point she forgot to mention), and then once your money is in her pocket … poof! … no more “Helen Collins.”

This is a straightforward advance fee fraud claiming to come from a Nigerian bank — the locus classicus of the genre. It adds one of the standard extra features of the type: a declaration that they’ve been trying to contact you and you haven’t answered. And it also adds an amusing twist: your money is finally ready because the previous corrupt head of the bank has finally been sacked. (Thank goodness it’s all clean now!) Alas, it’s all a fiction, designed once again to pick your pocket.

Please be aware that scammers often use the names of real people and legitimate businesses in their fraudulent messages. Why? To lend an air of legitimacy to their criminal enterprise. Just because the name of a real person or a real bank or a real government agency appears in a scam message that doesn't mean the person or organization in question is involved in the scam in any way. The scammers are just stealing these names in order to make themselves look legitimate.
