The message below (shown in yellow) is a typical example of a business investment scam, with a bit of mystery attached — what is the proposal?
If you make the mistake of replying to “Leslie” (almost certainly not the scammer’s real name), you’ll soon discover that the “proposal” involves having you provide your bank account or credit card information, or having you pay a fee to “unlock the deal.” Once the scammer has your information or your cash, he’ll disappear, never to be heard from again.

The message below (shown in yellow) is an example of a typical business investment scam, but with an extra twist: the scammer says he wants to move to your country and become your business partner.
Scams of this kind promise you lots of money as a successful investor, but if you make the mistake of replying, the scammer will ask for personal information (like bank account numbers or credit card info) and then use that to empty your bank account.

The message below (shown in yellow) is a typical example of a bank/investment scam. The sender (who is just a scammer and doesn’t work at a bank) claims to have millions of dollars that he/she wants to invest in your country. But if you make the mistake of contacting the scammer, you’ll soon be told that the money will be available once you send the required “transfer fee” or “currency exchange fee” or something similar. If you make the bigger mistake of sending that “fee,” the scammer will quickly disappear with your money and will never be heard from again.
My name is Ms. Wai Wan, Vice Chairman/Ceo/Executive Director of my bank in Hong Kong.
After several official inquiries from the foreign trade office of our Chambers of Commerce and Industry, I decided to contact you directly for your cooperative assistance. I am interested to transfer funds to your country through your assistance.
I am in Hong Kong presently and I have the sum of Forty Eight Million US Dollars which I would like to transfer into your account to invest in your country if possible.
I made this money (US$48,000,000.00) through genuine banking means in the 2014 fiscal year. I choose you because I cannot be directly involved because I am still working with my current bank, I hope you can understand my situation and assist me to receive and i nvest this money properly as this is my only hope.
You will get 40% of the total fund as commission for your sympathetic co-operation while 60% will be for me.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.
With respect.
Ms. Wai Wan.

Unfortunately, “Teresa Mpume” doesn’t really exist. She (or he) is just a scammer trying to tug at your heartstrings, and then eventually empty out your bank account.

Email: venkanna@bsnl.in
My Dearest Beloved,
First, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Mrs. Teresa Mpume, a nationality of South Africa, I was working with Build Safe South Africa. You can view the profile of Build Safe South Africa at (www.buildsafe.co.za) and read about us. I am married to late Mr.Thulani Mpume and we were married for twenty years with a child. He died after an illness that lasted for four weeks. Please know this may come to you by surprise, i know that you do not know me, but i need your assistance hence i am writing to you as my will directed me, and it is my desire to go into this business / relationship with you.
When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of USD$15 .5M (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with Finance, Though i assisted him in getting this contract for this deposit signed. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate contracts awarded from Build Safe South 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 my cancer problem, though what disturbs me most is my stroke, Having to know my condition I want to invest this money into any profitable business of your choice, whatever interest/profit that will come out from this investment of your choice will be shared by both parties.
I have a child that will inherit this money but my son cannot carry out this work by himself, my son is just 15 year old now and growing up in Africa and handling this huge amount of money will certainly be a disaster for a fifteen year old, He is not mature yet. Hence this the reason for taking this bold decision in contacting you. I am not afraid of death as I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. I would like you to understand that my contact to you is by my own free will, and as soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund through my attorney. My happiness is that I will be living something worthy for my son whom I will be living behind. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as i stated here and i will like you to contact me immediately you receive this mail so that i will instruct the Finance/bank to! Transfer this fund into your account.
My Regards to your Family,
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Teresa Mpume

The message below (shown in yellow) is an example of a typical investment scam message. The scammer claims to have a large amount of money to invest (seven million dollars), and needs your help. You’ll get a percentage of the profits, of course (so he says). In fact, there’s no money to invest and no businessman behind this message. There’s just a third-world scammer, trying to pick your pocket!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
My name is Samir EL Saleh. I’m from Al Jahra’, State of Kuwait. I’m interested in investing in any good profitable yielding business and I would appreciate any viable ideas you could come up with. I’m proposing to invest the sum of Seven Million United States Dollars ($7,000,000 USD) for this. I don’t know if you can be of help to me.
In recent times, I’ve been having issues with my uncle based on my late dad’s shares. I had to take every necessary precaution in other to sell off the shares without his notice and elope to any country. During my visit to Asia, I made enquirers on certain companies that usually help in the aspect of safekeeping investment funds and a specific company located in Malaysia known as E-Secure International was the best option for me in terms of security and immunity aspect. I had to make the deposit to the company and I was given a mandate of 6months.
I had a call from the company days back in other to remind me of the fund deposit I made with there company as it is already 6months in which I and the company agreed upon for safe keeping. Considering the issues and contention with my uncle,I can’t travel to Malaysia in other to secure the fund I deposited with the company. I’ve been exempted from traveling until the issue I am having with my uncle is resolved.
Due to my present state, I need your help in terms of traveling to Malaysia in other to secure the fund for me. I spoke with the company days back seeking if it is possible for me to appoint someone to come secure the fund. There respond to me was positive and instructed that I should send a copy of the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT, OFFICE NUMBER and ADDRESS to whomever I appoint that will be responsible for the fund pickup. In doing this,I am willing to offer you 35% of any investment done with the fund.
All I need is your reliability in doing this and every further details and contact of the company will be provided based on your determination in handling this. I’ll be expecting a response from you as soon as possible. Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated. Email me at elsalehsamir@gmail.com for more details

Samir EL Saleh.

The message below is a good example of a business investment scam. How can you tell? Well, for one thing it claims to come from a UK company but is written in poor English. And also, note that the “From” address is a different name that the person supposedly signing the message (and the “From” address is in Japan, while the sender claims to be from the UK). The verdict? It’s a scam!

This is a “mystery scam” message that purports to offer you a business deal of $25 million. But what it is about? You can be sure that it’s “about” picking your pocket — the only “opportunity” that “Ebrahim Talib” has for you is the opportunity to be separated from your money.

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.
