YOUR PAYMENT IS IN SERIOUS DANGER (Scam Alert)

Posted on September 30, 2016 by The Scam Hunter

Please share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

This is an example of a fear-based scam — a tried and true technique of scammers everywhere. ACT NOW, the scammer shouts (posing as a bank official), because you’re in danger of losing a fortune! Unfortunately there is really no fortune, and no bank official — there’s just someone trying to hook you into a fraudulent scheme that will end with him picking your pocket.

This is an example of the familiar “dormant bank account” scam involving a deceased foreigner, but it’s an unusually high quality one that may trap many victims. Unlike most scam messages, this one is largely free of spelling and formatting errors, and it looks much more like a professional email. And it uses the “meta-scam” strategy, acknowledging that there are a lot of scams out there, and reassuring you that this isn’t one of them. But of course it is: a scammer who proofreads his messages is still a scammer.

Hello Friend,

I know this may come to you as a surprise due to the amount of scam emails we all receive on daily bases, but it is with a sincere and humble heart that I am making this contact for our mutual benefit.

My name is Mr. Deneys James of Deneys James Attorneys, specializes in corporate and legal claims, a financial legal representative to business moguls and politicians here in Nigeria. I am contacting you in regards to a deceased client Engr. Nicholas Feschuk of California USA who was a contractor with Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On March 2012; my client and some other business men were involved in a auto accident in Benin-Ore Expressway,

Before his death, my client had (US$32 Million) with a financial institution here in Nigeria; In view of the Nigerian Law of Succession, claims of this nature can only be made by a surviving relative/family member. Unfortunately he had no will at the time of death. All efforts made through some Private Investigators in Nigeria have revealed no link to any of his family member.

With the applicable law of succession there is a duration within which such claims must be applied for, and as a result I am under pressure to present the next of kin or a relative who will claim the funds, and failure to do this would legally allow the financial institution toreport the funds to the Nigerian Treasury as unclaimed funds (Lack ofsupersede). It is therefore my intention to introduce you as the next of kin/beneficiary, Please note that I’m legally equipped with all necessary information/documentations concerning the funds.

Upon your decision of acceptance, the release of these funds in your favor as beneficiary will be processed within weeks. You would be entitled to 40% of this fund. If you are willing to work with me onthis, PLEASE REPLY ME THROUGH THIS EMAIL FOR SECURITY MEANSURE: (richy608m@yahoo.co.jp).

In conclusion, it’s my concern to demand your ultimate honesty, co-operation and confidentiality to enable us conclude this transaction. I assure you that this process would be executed under a legitimate arrangement that would legally protect you and I from any breach of any law locally and internationally.

Please note; what drives my interest here is NOT GREED rather it would make no sense to allow this huge amount of money to go to waste when we can take advantage of the situation, and honestly if we dont do this; it will still end up in private pockets of corrupt people in government.

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Deneys James

Abandoned Bank Account Scam

Posted on August 12, 2016 by The Scam Hunter

Please share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

One of the most common types of email scam is the abandoned bank account scam. These are messages that claim to come from a bank official who has discovered a dormant account with a fortune in it. If you’ll just help out, perhaps by posing as next-of-kin to the former account holder, then the banker (that is, the scammer), will give you a percentage. Alas, there really is no abandoned account and no banker — there’s just another advance-fee fraudster trying to pick your pocket.

This message is a typical example of an “abandoned bank account” scam. The scammer poses as a foreign banker and claims to have access to a bank account that has been abandoned. If you’ll just stand in as next-of-kin, he’ll let you split the money with him. Unfortunately there is really no abandoned bank account — there’s just a scammer trying to pick your pocket.

Dear friend

I am Mr. Kong Khemara; I work with the audit department of a bank here in South East Asia. I need your partnership in a funds transfer process involving an unclaimed deposit. All efforts to trace any living relative of the deceased customer did not yield any positive result. I can use my office to present you as next of kin to the deceased and have the funds transferred for our mutual benefit. There are no risks whatsoever attached. I will personally oversee the process of the transfer of funds from the bank to your account.

Get back to me immediately for more details. Please reply to my private email (office@kong-khemara-southeastasia.net)

Many scams involve supposedly abandoned bank accounts or unclaimed property that the scammer says he has found and wants to return to you. Alas, these are all just versions of the old advance fee fraud: there is no abandoned property, there is only a scammer trying to pick your pocket. The message below is a good example.

Deceased Foreigner Scam

Please share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

The message below is a classic example of the “deceased foreigner” scam. The scammer, calling himself “Frank Patrick,” says a foreigner named “Antoine” made a large deposit in his bank many years ago and the bank account is now abandoned because the foreigner died in an accident. If you’ll just help “Frank” get this money out of the country, he’ll give you a percentage of the fortune. The names may be new, but the scam is very old.

This is a classic example of the deceased-foreigner/plane-crash scam. A supposed bank official (really a scammer) claims to have found an abandoned bank account that belonged to someone who died in a plane crash and left no will. If you’ll just help to smuggle the money out of the country, you can have a share.

Dear friend,

A foreign client of mine, on June 2003, made a fixed deposit of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) with a bank here in Benin in standing agreement with the bank that all correspondence in respect to the fixed deposit contract will be sent him through my chamber. Upon maturity, the routine notification was sent to me, which I dispatched to his forwarding address as usual without a reply.

After a month, I sent a reminder which I received from the bank without any reply again. Finally, I discovered from my client’s contract employee that he died with his family in the Benin Republic December 26, 2003 plane crash. He died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his relatives were fruitless.

So, I seek your consent to present you to his bank as the next of kin based on the information I received recently from his banker reminding me that BENINESE LAW states that at the expiration of thirteen (13) years the money will be reverted to the ownership of the BENINESE Government if I do not confirm the next of kin to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to my deceased client since you share the same surname with him so that the fruits of this man’s labor will not go into the hands of some corrupt government officials.

Note that this transaction is simple and risk free because I will provide expert and legal advice that will guarantee the successful execution of this deal. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible; I shall provide you with more details and how we shall proceed with the claims. I expect you to observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction will be profitable for both of us. Thanks as I wait for your reply.

Best regards,
Alex Armand Esq.
