Dear Kim Jonghyun,

I am Barrister Frank Mawu(Esq)solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.B.J.Uzumaki,a national Of your country,who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo,as a registered contractor. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. and it happen that the man registered to me as his personal attorney.

Unfortunately the man died in a motor accident which happened on 31st October, 2002. All occupants of the motor unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence i contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$10.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.

The Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.

All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through this email:[e-mail] for more details.

Best regards,
Barrister Frank Mawu,Esq.

OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN
CONTRACT AWARD &
PROCUREMENT COMMITTEE,

"Strictly confidential"

ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD 32 MILLION.

Attn,

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it
might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.

I am DR. FRANK ADAMS,The Chairman, Contract Awarding committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS)with Headquarters in
Lome, Togo.

I got your contact through hotmail network on line in my search for a reliable and
reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction that involves a
transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you.

After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very
much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual
business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of USD 32m (Thirty-Two
Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank
account.

This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us
for the supply of hard/softwares,phamaceauticals/medical items,light and
heavy duty vehicles, apperals and other administrative logistics etc for the
ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects.

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the
attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the
cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the
Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by
different companies from different countries during the crisis.

It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to
provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West
Africa.This is borne out of our beleif in the non-stable and sporous
political nature of this sub- region.

The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des
Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central Bank of the West African
States)through our bankers-INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA(IBA)UNION TOGOLAISE
DE BANQUE(UTB),ECO BANK,BTCI BANK LOME TOGO.

This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any
foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund now as the
organisation is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE
to the countries and the coast has been achieved.

Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working
under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.

This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account
that can sustain this fund

Answer 1

It is NOT spam. What you have is phishing email.



Spam:

Spam only want you to buy a product (Viagra) or service (be #1 on Google).



Phishing:

Phishing will try to take you identity but mostly, it wants your financial info for profit and to scam people.

Answer 2

This is a popular scam at the moment, the idea of it isn't to give your computer a virus - they're after bigger fish. They get you to agree to use your account to transfer funds abroad for them, in return for a cut. They'll use an emotive story to gain your sympathy. At first, all will go well so you allow the amounts transferred to grow. Eventually you'll be transferring tens or hundreds of thousands through your account. Then they write you a rubber cheque, you transfer the money and then the cheque bounces. As a result of this you're left with a massive overdraft and you never hear from them again, but you do lose your house to repay the bank. Don't get involved or respond to these emails. The money is often used for drug running, money laundering and weapon smuggling. Just use the 'report as phishing scam' button if you use Hotmail, or whatever equivalent your email service provides. They send these emails to thousands of people, don't worry about it because you'll never see these people.

Answer 3

What you need to do is to block each sender and mark this down as spam again for future references. Also, if you notice anything in your spam box, you can open the spam box but do not press on any messages if you do not recognise the sender. Also, have a good anti virus programme and you will not come to any harm. But please!!! most important, DON'T reply to any of these idiots
