Here's another scam.
Dear Friend,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time goes on in case you are willing to assist me in making this proposal a reality,we will now probably meet in person.
We want to transfer to overseas account ($32,000.000.00 USD) Thirty-two million United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank here in Mauritius, I want to ask you, If you can look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing Bank Account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this money, even an empty A/C can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in Mauritius, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account again,after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is PEDRO F. HASLER a foreigner, a great industrialist and he died since 1998.No other person knows about this Account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that until his death he was the manager GOLD ARK [pty].S.A.
We will start the first transfer with Twelve million [$12,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your Account.
The total amount involve is Thirty-two million United States Dollars only [$32,000.000.00]. I want to first transfer $12,000.000.00 [Twelve United States Dollar] from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest. But I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local Person here, without valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign A/C because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the a/c is a foreigner too, and the money can only be approved into a foreign A/C.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together when we meet face to face after the first transfer of $12Million before transferring the second part of $20 Million. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together immediately after the first transfer before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments .
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down.
With my influence and my position in the bank the bank official can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account that you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official Will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you can call me for heart to heart discussion through my private satellite phone which I secured for the security and safety of this business as you know that this business is confidential.I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transfer. I look forward to your earliest reply through this email address [email protected]
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly
Dr John Ballas.

I was almost scammed by a Don Juan from Hawaii or Nigeria, not sure which. He IM'd me on my Yahoo Messenger. He was so respectful. We chatted for weeks before he told me he could not cash his money gram because Nigeria banks did not recognize them. I felt sorry for him being kind of "stranded in Nigeria". Then he asked me for $200 so that he could register for the trade fair to sell his wares (he mentioned that he was a model). Anyway, I had to tell him to never ask me for money again or we could not talk anymore. He stopped doing that until a few weeks later he said he was desperate to get back home to Hawaii and that the hotel manager was really getting on to him about the hotel bill. I asked why he could not get a family member to do this for him, then he says I am the only one - he has no family. I felt so bad for him - trusting him....but not enough to cash a money order by depositing it into my bank. I then found this website and found some testimonial that sounded like what he had told me. I sent him emails and sent a link to this website to him. I was kind of angry because I really did like him. Oh well, at least I don't owe the bank any money. The last time I spoke with him he said he had senr the Money gram out already. I have not heard from him since I sent this website link to him. Jeez....the things we fall for. I am so happy that I am poor and a skeptic.

Lily Amador... Do not wire any money, this is a scam. Once the money order comes back, your mother will be liable, she will have to re-pay her bank and she will be out the 3,000. Take care

Received 2,800 WAL*MART money order from an "agent" who wanted to purchase an eBay item from me. Funny thing is, the item was only 450, he wants the difference sent via western union to his "shipper" in order to ship the pair os shoes. The MO came from China and is payable thru the WF national bank South Central Faribault MN... obviously a scam. BEWARE!

I posted a dining room for Sale on Craig's list for $300 and I received a money gram from ACE for $2,000. The customer claims it was an error and they want me to pay for shipping and return the balance. A flag went up though because they did not put a return address on the mail with the check and they sent it parcel post, if I was mailing $2000 I would want a signature and confirmation, it also came from Nigeria. It is from a woman named Lucy Chou with a gmail address. Needless to say after reading all this I won't even try to cash it.

Hi. My name is Lily Amador, and I regret to say that my poor mother, has been a victim of a scam. You see, she received a letter coming from Standard Trust Inc. (telephone- 647-8851023) telling her that they have been instructed from Gambling Corporation to inform her of her Unclaimed Prize Money held on Sept. 7th of 2003.
They claim that due to a technical set back with their Database System, they delayed the release of the prize winning numbers to avoid circulating the wrong information to contestants.The letter states that there had been several attempts to notify her, the first notification was sent to her on April 2004, and the second was Jan 2005. As for this reson, this would be the ast notification. They attach a ticket number and serial number.... for which she says of $250,800.00 USD she would get the remaining split of $194,000, because it would be divided intot hese 17 contestants. MY CONCERN: they sent her a cashiers check, and being that my mohter, has, and continues to get into these sweepstakes, she managed to cash the check for $3,950.00. Being skeptical daughter that i am, I managed to call the bank number, printed on the front of the check- the name by the way is ECOBANK in Washington D.C. The customer service rep, that answered my phone call went by the name of Maria ID# 58147, I told her I wanted to verify if a check I received was valid, she asked for routing # and all other information... she then told me it was- indeed valid, and she even gave me the amount, which I had not given her. With this information, we then took the chek my mothers local bank, Wells Fargo, and managed to cash it with no problems or hesitations.After speaking with the 2 people at Standard Trust, Sandy, and Franklin( which sounds Jamaican)- they assure me, my mother will get her money after i wire them the $3000.00 to Canada by Western Union. My mother hopes this is true, and also points out she has nothing to loose..... since the check is for $3950.00 and they are only asking for the 3000.00. ................ My worries don't stop, we are and come from a very honest family, My mother believes, that after all these huimble years, it has finally paid off- her luck has came. Please let me know if there is anyone out there who can give us any advise.... They tell her, she has very little time and that she must wire the money right away otherwise, they will put a stop to the check assuming that it has been lost or stolen.
