Who wouldn’t want to help an orphan — especially a wealthy orphan who would like to share a fortune with you! Rich orphan scams are one of the classic types of advance fee fraud. They are the children of deposed dictators, or millionaire businessmen who died in plane crashes, and somehow they got your name and need your help. “Kelly Motanga” is the latest example:

It’s another rich orphan scam! In this example a young man has lost his whole family in the African wars, but not before his father was able to deposit eleven million dollars in the bank to support him. If you’ll just help to liberate this money and invest it properly, you can have a cut (sucker).

Wealthy Orphan Scams

Posted on by

This is a classic example of the wealthy orphan scam. A sad young woman (it’s almost always a woman) has been left alone in the world, or left alone with her younger siblings, because her parents have been murdered or poisoned by some evil power. But before her parents died, her father told her about the secret fortune he had deposited for her in a bank somewhere, and now the poor (rich) orphan needs your help to retrieve the money. She can tell you’re an honest person (playing to your vanity.) Won’t you help an orphan (you sucker)?

Charles Pedersen Begs You (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

Begging in the name of God is probably an effective scam strategy in some cases. Poor and honest Charles Pedersen opposed Fidel Castro, and for that reason he has been driven into poverty. But thankfully his late father left him a large sum of money, which you can share, if you just help transfer it from Europe. The scammer tries to make the story sound plausible by citing an actual airline crash in which his wealthy father was supposedly killed. But alas, like all such messages, it’s a fraud.

Few months ago I received a letter from a finance security company in Europe asking that I come down to claim a consignment containing the sum of Ten MIllion United States Dollars [$10,Million] which my late father had deposited for me. According to the finance company, the deposit is BONDED.

Now that I have been asked to come to Europe, I cannot do that because I do not have a travel document but only a drivers licence. It is worsened by the fact that I have been declared wated by the Communist Government of Fidel Castro for my Democratic stance. Presently, my life is in danger. Please, I beg you to assist me contact the finance company in europe and claim the money on my behalf. This is a confidential business lest the government of Castro hears it again.
