BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)

BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA.                                

I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION;

I discovered an abandoned sum of $22.5M in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since his death, none of his relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. The bank cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the fund $22.5M to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following;

Your name: ............................

Your country: .........................

Your phone Number: ......................

Your Tel/fax: ...........................

Your age: ...............................

Your occupation: ......................

Photograph of yours with copy of your International Passport or driver's license............

Thank for your anticipated co-operation

These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made. I shall be compensating you with 40% on final conclusion of this project, while 50% will be for me and 10% will be for our any expenses that may come up. Your share stays with you while my own share shall be for investment purposes in your country.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent email. Reply me at via hamadu.hazim@zipmail.com.br

Best Regards,

What would you do and what would you think if you received such message like this? 


I've been receiving this kind of message over and over again via Spam emails/messages and it is killing me in annoyance. Why? because these people never stop until they get your response. These people are so low in terms of "SCAM". I don't know where did they get this kinda of cheap propaganda but to the makers of this email, this is really such a crap. If i were you guys, think of something that is believable and kinda, REAL? :P haha.


And in case you guys received any kind of scams, and beware of  your personal "bank accounts", don't ever believe websites linking to an IP Address. 

example:

You have a legitimate bank account in "CHIIE BANK" and you happened to also activate your Mobile and Internet Banking transactions. Of course you are using your OWN PC or Laptop and no one gets your personal informations. But let me inform you that beware of Wi-Fi Connections because some hackers are known to this and might HACK, yes simply HACK your informations, including your bad "spooky" habits around the net. 

So, anyway, since you are secured with the notation of your personal belongings, you received an email stating you received freebies given by your bank and you are requiring to sign or log in with a given link of : http://200.199.199.0.chiiebank.com, deceived you are, with of course with the SAME images of Website in your bank. Exactly the same. Please, DO NOT CLICK the link.


If you happened to received that kind of notice, better VERIFY it in your bank, call a CSR or check the legitimate website address of your bank and see notices or announcement saying they are giving freebies or anything regarding the matter of your concern, then Confirm.

A simple advice for each of us, including myself, SPAM emails are just spam emails and SHOULD NOT be given a reply unless you are aware of the recipient, otherwise, ignore further notices and messages, specially if it includes personal matters or business deals.

Some people new in the cyber world is not familiar with and may claim due notices. They might think how did it get into their emails without registering anything within claims. Well, think no more. If you haven't done anything before the propaganda sent to you, leave it unattended. Otherwise you'll be a victim.
