This is a typical example of an advance-fee fraud message, claiming to offer you a large cash gift. If you make the mistake of contacting “Kingsley Moghalu” you’ll find that you have to have to pay “transfer fees” or “customs taxes” before your (imaginary) fortune can be delivered — that’s the “advance fee” that the scammer hopes to extract from you before he disappears.

The message below, sent randomly to thousands of people, is a typical “abandoned property scam.” The scammer claims to be a customs inspector who has found an abandoned fortune with your name on it (literally). You just have to send him your personal information (so he can scam you further), and then the (non-existent) money will be yours!

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF IMMIGRATION OFFICER.
Los Angeles International Airport.
3435 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1025
Los Angeles, CA 90010.
Hello my friend, I am Mr. Kalstrom S. James, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities here at the Los Angeles International Airport, [LAX] CA 90010. USA.
During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal trunk box.
The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Los Angeles International Airport, [LAX] till date.
The details of the consignment including your name, your email address in and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box. However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you to provide your current FULL NAME: ============== COUNTRY: ============== CITY: ============== CURRENT HOME ADDRESS: =========== TELEPHONE/CELL PHONE NUMBER. ========= AGE/OCCUPATION: ============= NEAREST AIRPORT =========.
Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I will get everything concluded within 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to transact this business and share the money 80 percent for you and 20 percent for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 20 percent share. I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via for further directives.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mr. Kalstrom S. James,
Chief Immigration officer.

Because scammers know that you know there are lots of scams online, one strategy they sometimes use is to pretend to be offering reparations and refunds to people who may have been scammed in the past. This is a type of meta-scam: a scam about scams. The example below claims to be providing compensation for scam victims — but there is no compensation: that’s the scam.

This is a classic example of the old “dying widow scam” complete with all the trimmings: a rich late husband, poor orphans, a few weeks to live, and Biblical invocations. (See more examples of dying widow scams.) This example is better written than most, and because it isn’t in broken English it just may trick a few people — don’t fall into the trap!

Greetings !
I am Mrs.Elizabeth Schubert now undergoing medical treatment.I am married to Dr.Schubert who worked with German Embassy in Republic of Ghana before he died in the year 2006.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christians. I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$6,500,000.00 with a Bank in West Africa, this money is still with the Bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not Last for the next three months due to cancer and what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word Of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money.
I cannot rely on family and closest relatives any more, as they did not show responsible behavior when I entrusted part of my wealth to them to distribute to charitable organizations but instead used the money for their personal needs.
To prevent any more mishaps, my attorney will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the Charity organizations.
I sincerely request for your assistance in this humanitarian work. I want the bank to transfer the fund to your bank account so that you will use 80% of the fund to help the following people:
The 20% of the fund is for you and your family, if you will accept to do this humanitarian work. You will promised me that you will not disappoint me when the fund will be transferred to your bank account there in your country, and you will also assured me that you will use the 80% of the money for the said purpose.
Reply to me urgently if you are interested in this transaction because any delay to your response will give me a room to look for another reliable person for the same purpose, hoping to hear from you.
Whatever the case might be, just put me in prayers at all times.
May the almighty God bless you.

This is a brief but typical example of an inheritance scam message — don’t fall into the trap! It says that someone you have never heard of has left you a fortune in his will. If you make the mistake of replying to “Clifford Chance” (a scammer, not a lawyer), you’ll eventually discover that it’s just another advance fee fraud (after “Clifford” has picked your pocket).

This is the ultimate in “mystery scam” messages — just one line with no signature or name. Someone has a check for you. But who is it? And why? Actually we know the answer: it is a scammer, and the purpose of the (non-existent) check is to serve as a gimmick to pick your pocket.

This scam message takes a modest approach, trying to hook you in by assuring you that the scammer only needs your help to assist with his charitable endeavors. Alas, it’s just another approach to the good old advance fee fraud, designed to eventually pick you pocket. (Read more about how advance fee frauds work.)
Good day, hoping you read this email and respond to me in good time. I do not intend to solicit for funds but your time and energy in using my own resources to assist the less privileged because I am medically ill and confined at the moment hence I request your indulgence. I will give you a comprehensive brief once I hear from you. Thanks and reply. Robert Grondahl

This is a kind of meta-scam message that tells you the fund you had been promised before was waylaid by corrupt officials, but now everything it fixed thanks to the FBI, and your money will be on the way shortly — all you need to pay now is just $180. (Ha!) It’s hard to believe people fall for complex scams of this kind, but you can tell they do, because if the scams didn’t work, the scammers would not still be sending these messages.

This is a typical example of the old widow-dying-of-cancer scam. “Mrs. Shirley Levine,” your sister in Christ, is dying and needs your help to dispose of her fortune. Who wouldn’t want to help a dying widow, especially if it means you might get rich! Alas, “Sister Shirley” is just a scammer trying to pick your pocket: she’s not a widow, she’s not dying, and she has no fortune in the bank.

Bishop [38 rue des martyrs cocody
Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Dearest one in Christ,
I am from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Richead Levine, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death, both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($ 2.5 million) in the bank here in Abidjan suspense account.
Currently, the fund is still in the bank. Recently, my doctor told me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. What disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Knowing my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or those who utilize this money the way I would recommend here. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, to promote the word of God and the effort that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible is for us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. That’s why I’m taking this decision. I’m not afraid of death, so I know where I’m going. I know that I’m going to be in the bosom of man. Exodus 14 vs 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I hold my peace.
I do not need a telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always and I do not want them to know about this development. In God all things are possible. As soon as I get an answer I will give you contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy Christian. Whoever wants to serve the lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. Always praying for their whole lives.
Reply me for more information’s, in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or person for the same purpose. Let me assure you that they will act accordingly as specified. Hope to get an answer.
Send me the following information, as per below.
Your full name ……….

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.
