I’m Invited for a Scam

Again, I received a spam email from someone. At first I thought it’s real because the subject is “Thanks For the Reply”. It leads me to think who is this guy who is thanking me for my reply…

The email goes:

I am a senior staff of bill and exchange unit at FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPT.SOCIETE GENERALE DES BANQUES AU BURKINA(SGBB)

I am writing to you, following the impressive information received about you
from the chambers of commerce. I believed that you are capable and reliable
to champion this business opportunity.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $12.5m US dollars in
an account that belonged to one of In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on 25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590 with the whole passengers aboard, thename oF the deceased man was (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER), from Munich,Germany.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you, so that the bank can release the money to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after six years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand in
as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
tax and expenses to be incurred during the business and 55 % would be for
me,there after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the
deceased customer but that will be when you have shown interest to assist me
in this transaction then i will forward to you the text of application with
the bank address where the application will be sent to by you as the next of
kin to Mr Andreas Schranner.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is 100% hitch and risk free and that you should not entertain
any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer .

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Your’s faithfully,
Mr.Noble Sana.

It’s introductory line is already obvious that this email is really a spammed one. So we’re expecting also that the content of it is a scam.

The second line will make you wonder how did the chamber of commerce got your name and email. Thus, if you’re not really thinking that this email is a spam, then you might ask the sender how did he get your name and email.

The content of this email is about a USD 12.5 million money of Mr Andreas Schranner which can be claimed by anyone who is next kin of her. So, the sender invites me to act as if I am the next kin of Mr Andreas Schranner. And if I am interested of it, I need to reply this email of course.

But what will the sender do after I replied him. Just like what the other scammers do, they will ask me to give him the 10 %  of the unclaimed money as for the tax and expenses and the 55% as his share. In other words, I need to pay him USD 8.125 million.

Wow it’s huge! I wonder how many people were being fooled by this email and how many of them paid the scammer…
