Nigerian e-mail scammers jailed

A court sentences two men to a total of 37 years in prison for the biggest scam in Nigerian history.

The story "Nigerian e-mail scammers jailed" published November 21, 2005 at 10:01 AM is no longer available on CNET News.

Content from Reuters expires after 30 days.

Suckers, not sucker, born every second

The Nigerian scammers merely exploited a loophole in the human condition that has stubbornly refused to be plugged - GREED. This condition in turn corrupted their balance and smudged their ability to spot the OBVIOUS scam. The Nigerians got their deserved punishment but the victims deserved theirs too. No sympathies there.

A large history of receiving scams from Nigeria

It seems that some how I have the ability of laundering money, thus the 401 scammers have sent me on the average 3 scam mails per week. Recently I have gone so far as to forward them to the Prsident of Nigeria. Prior to that I used to forward them to the US Secret service which supposedly is working with the Nigerian President.

For a while, just to have fun, I used to give the impression that I was interested in their proposals.

Now I send them the following:

Dear In Christ I know that this mail may reach you by surprise,
I am Mrs cathryn bambam,from Angola.I am married to late Mr Raymond bambam,who is contractor in Cote d'Ivoire for over Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2004, after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter(Lilian)who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$3.7 M )(Three Million,Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire with one truck box and declear it as family valuable use and gift items for security purpose.
Presently,this money is still with the security company.Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next one months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) or individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth". I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company here in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of the truck box.I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another Church for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.Before I even pick you to assist me I have prayed and slept over it asking God to provide for me a Godly minded person that will assist me in this transaction. I will give you more details of the transaction in my next mail.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders May the almighty continue to guide and protect you.Please contact me on my above private email addres, [e-mail] for more informations.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,

the claim. To this effect, I and two other officials in my department have
decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who can stand in as the next

apply for the claim because of the fact that the customer was a
foreigner.And we dont want this money to go into the banks treasure as
unclaimed fund.

Every document to effect this process will emanate from my table and I will
perfect every documents to be in accordance with the banking law and
guidelines so you have nothing to worry about.All we required from you is to
open a local bank account in your name here in Lagos where the money is to
be deposited,before onward transfer to your designated account abroad. we

Dear Friend,

This is with due respect .Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter from me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it. I am Mrs. Reeter Khobe, the wife of late Gen. Maxwell Khobe former ECOMOG [West African peacekeeping force] commander who died in the Sierra Leone civil disturbance [War]. My three daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom traditional rites. We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late husbands family, simple because I did not bear a male child for my late husband By tradition, all that my husband had, [wealth] belongs to his brothers/family and myself is to be married by his immediate younger brother. They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including treasure, houses and his bank accounts closed by them.


I wanted to escape to the United State of America [USA} with my children on exile, but again they conspired and stole my international passport and other traveling documents to further frustrate me.Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code [KTC} from SECURITIES COMPANY, that my husband deposited .(fifteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) cash with this company. It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact some one, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure these funds overseas and to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of
getting out to meet with you in your country.

These funds are kept on a CODE with the Securities Company to avoid detection, seizure or diversion. I have had several telephone discussions with the Assistant Director of the Securities Company, Mr. Gilbert Scott who has express willingness to help me on meeting the companys demand. This is why I have contacted you to help save my children and I, receive these funds on our behalf.

Dear friend,

My name is Dr.FEMI GIDADO the manager, credit and foreign bills department african Development Bank plc. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t who perished in a plane crash [Korean Air Flight 801] with the whole passengers aboard on August 6, 1997. Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has
watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of [Thirteen Million five hundred thousand United States dollars] which has been with my branch for a very long time.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal
afterrealizing that your name and country is similar to the deceased.I will give you 30% of the total. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by e-mail the application and the next step to take.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized with in five banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.

When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail to my private e mail address: [e-mail] signifying your decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication about this transaction.Respectfully submitted,

The Swiss Federal Justice Department said Abacha's family will get to keep $100m.
That, it said, was acquired prior to Mr Abacha's term of office and according to the Nigerian government "demonstrably does not derive from criminal acts".

In a bizarre twist to the case Johnnie Cochran, the lawyer who defended OJ Simpson, has been brought in by the Abacha entourage to help them retain the disputed funds. The lawyer passed away.

May Allah Bless you.

Dear Sir,


Assalam 'aleykum!

This might seem very deplorable for a person that you do not know but as the title implies, I am Dr Mrs Mariam Abacha, wife of the late General Sani Abacha. I am contacting you due to the present situation as regards the special panel set up by the present democratic administration in my country (Nigeria) under the anti-corruption law passed mainly to recover what they Government) termed "Abacha's looted money". This law is yet another smear campaign aimed mainly to frustrate,
humiliate, dismember and widen the scope of hatred to our family. A personal vendetta by President Obasanjo who was jailed by my husband's Government for plotting a coup d'etat against his administration.


This highly calculated attempt by this administration *** Swiss government through bi-lateral relationship has taken away from us over USD1.4billion in Switzerland. The rampaging situation in our accounts abroad has yielded to the barbaric pressure and just last month we were squished
out of another USD395m and all this funds can be ascertained independently. You may wish to confirm this from a leading newspaper in Nigeria (This Day) from their website at www.thisdayonline.com from the archives section in the March 10,2001,January 26,2002 and FEBRUARY 21,2002 editions. Please I want you to view these sites as well and read the contents carefully below:

This government is bent on destroying our family. You may be aware that my son (Mohammed), heir apparent to the family just got out of prison after 3 years of detention. Therefore, I am soliciting for genuine partners that I can invest the family fortune that is scattered all over the world.

According to my estimation in West Africa alone we still have about USD85m in cash in a Security Company that we intend to invest abroad through your assistance. For the purpose of investment in areas of your interest, contact me as a handsome reward of 20%of the total sum awaits you,subject to our negotiation and agreement. You can contact me via my e-mail:[e-mail] or [e-mail] for security reason for further details for now.

I am particularly interested in securing the funds lodged with Finance Firm,The sum of USD11.5M Dollars.This is because the said Bank has issued a notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to produce the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to the said account within the next ten official working days,or have the account confiscated. Considering my lack of success in my bid to locate his relatives for over two years,I solicit your consent to enable me produce you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client, since you both bear the same last name. The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and shared according to a proposed sharing pattern /ratio of 60:40 i.e. 60% for me and 40% for you.

I will provide the necessary legally obtained documents to back up any claim we make regarding this process, and will just require your understanding/cooperation to

DEAR BELOVED

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am the above
named
person from SOUTH AFRICA. I am married to Dr.JOHNSON OTI, who worked
with
canadian embassy in south africa for nine years before he died in the
year2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were
both born again Christians.Since hisdeath I decided not to re-marry or
get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$7.5 Million
(seven
Million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a SECURIY COMPANY in
Europe.
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the Reserve
SECURITY COMPANY Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next
SEVEN months due to my cancer problems.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke .Having known my condition, I
decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian
individualThat will utilize this money the way I am going toinstruct
here in. I
want a church that will use this fund on, orphanages and widows
propagating
theword of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The
Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I
took this
decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money
and my husband relativesare not Christians and I don't want my
husband's
hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a
situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason
for
takingthis bold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the
lord will fight
my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health because of the
presence of my
husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about
this
development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your
reply I
forward your personal information to the security company in europe so
that
they will contact you as the legal owner of this fund before
transfering the
fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country.

I will also issue you a letter of a uthority that will empower you as
the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to
always
pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I
lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the
Lord musT
serve him in spirit and truth. Please always beprayerful all through
your any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church
or
christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you
will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you as soon as
possible..

From: Vanesa & Virginie Ama
Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire.
Email : [e-mail]

You may be a little dismayed on receipt of this mail because of its unusual
contents especially from a total stranger. Nevertheless, I would plead that
you take the pain to study the mail before you draw your conclusion.

I'm Vanesa (16) and have an Elder sister Virginie (18). We are the children
of Late Mr. & Mrs. John U.Ama. Our father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant
here in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire. He was poisoned to
death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip.
Our mother died when we where babies.

Before the death of our father on Sept. 2004 in a private hospital here in
Abidjan, he secretly called us by his bed side and told us that he has the sum
of eight million two hundred thousand United State Dollars USD ($8.200,000)
deposited in a suspense account in one of the big banks here in Abidjan. He
told us that he used my sister's name (Virginie) as the next of Kin in
depositing the money.

He then strongly advised us not to seek for assistance in the investment of
the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign
partner from a country of our choice (outside our country, Cote D'Ivoire) that
willl assist us in the wise investment of the money.We have since left the
money in the bank with the view of our making use of it for investment
purposes after our education carrier here.
But as you may be already aware by now, our country (Cote D'Ivoire) is
presently at political crises. Rebels have already taken over the whole
Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the
commercial center of the country, Abidjan, where we are now.

For this ugly development in this country, we have now decided to take quick
actions and have this money transferred out of this country before it is too
late to do that. We now want to transfer it out and use it for investment
purpose like real estate management or hotel management. Because of this we
are honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:

(1) To serve as a guardian to us and then assist us transfer the money into
your bank account. (2) To make arrangement for us to come over to your country
to further our education and then settle there parmanently.

If you accept to stand as our guardian or foster parent to us, we need not
discuss on any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as yours
and then assist us invest it. But if you still want a percentage, we are
willing to offer you, 20 % of the total money as compensation for your
assistance. Pleas tell us if you feel the percentage we offered is not ok by
you.

As soon as we receive your concrete assurance to assist us with our proposal
and also your full contact address/phone number, we will then give the bank
your contact information and then tell them to transfer the money into your
account as we want to come over to stay with you parmanently. The bank will
then contact you and communicate with you on the transfer.
No matter what your decision may turn out to be, please we beg you to keep
this highly secret for our safety, as we believe that those that killed our
Daddy are still after us. Please reply us through this our more private and
confidential email box [e-mail]

Dear Respected One,

Please accept my apology if this mail does not suit your personal or
business ethics, it is not my intention but the matter at hand is one of
great importance to me.

My Name is Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, Former Chairman, Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC), Nigeria. I came to know about you in my private search
for a reliable Person to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of
myself. As a matter of fact, I am searching for an individual who will fit
perfectly into the business at hand.

I write in respect of one of our customer, who unfortunately lost his life
in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on January
31, 2000, including his wife and child leaving nobody to claim his contract
payment money. You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this
site:http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ more
details about the deceased himself, you can check on
(<http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html>)
Morris Thompson was an American and great industrialist and a resident of
Fairbanks, Alaska. Prior to his death, Morris Thompson supplied goods worth
US$8 Million in 1999 and was awaiting his payment before his untimely death.
Since the death of this man, nobody has come forward to claim the money on
his behalf as next of kin to the late Morris Thompson.

It is only an insider, the contractor or a next of kin who has information
about the contract that could produce the particulars of the contract and as
such be able to lay claim to this money. Also the funds can only be released
to a foreigner. Hence, I have arranged to front you as the next of kin to
Morris Thompson, so that you can sign-off the release of his payment of US$8
Million contract payment and hence have the money claimed from the Bank our
official paying bank.

Rather than have this fund reverted to the Consolidated Account of the NDDC,
I seek your consent to front you as his Next of Kin. We will handle all
financial embodiments, logistics and documentations to legitimize it. You
shall provide an account for the transfer of the funds. All I require from
you is total confidentiality, your honest co operation; willingness and
ability to work with me on this transaction with a good arrangement and
understanding to enable us see this transaction through.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the
procedure we shall take to effect the release of the US$8 Million from the
NDDC and its affiliate bank.

Please confirm your interest by immediate response on this private Email:
([e-mail])
Thanking you in anticipation and I will give you a telephone number where to
reach me as soon as I confirm your serious interest. More details when I
hear from you. Confirm your interest by immediate response on this private

Dear Sir,
Letter of Business Proposal
I am. Justin Madubuko the former personnel Accountant to the General Manager of Standard Trust Bank (Nig) Plc. I want to inquire from you if you can handle this transaction for mutual benefits/life opportunity for you and me. (10% for you, 90% for me.
The transaction is about assisting me as my foreign counterpart to enable us present you as the Beneficiary of the usd$10million dollars left by our late deceased foreign customer who died in a plane crash with his family since January 2002.

I will give you more details about the transaction when I receive your affirmative response via my email address stated above.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
Mr Justin Madubuko.


Below are some comments. Also is an outline of e-mails that I get about twice a week some of which are ridiculous, others absolutely dangerous, some impossible to manage like moving 30 million in silver and others obvious scams like one wanted outright from me 'money to help his poor ailing mother' but had 10 million in gold bullion hidden!

1: The letters range from 10 to 30 million dollars

1a: Someone always died or has been killed

2: The funds are either in dollars, gold or silver bullion and even diamonds.

2a: Now 10 million in silver is 116 cuft or 70 tons

2b: Now 30 million in silver is 348 cuft or 210 tons

2c: Now 10 million in gold is 2 cuft or 1 ton

3d: Now 30 million in gold is 5 cuft or 3 tons

2e: Now 10,000,000 dollars is 12 cuft

2f: Now 30,000,000 dollars is 36 cuft

2g: The money, gold, silver is always in a box, but if one calculates the size, only the nieve would tend to fall for the e-mail.

How in the world would anyone transport these volumes without the help of the Cosa Nostra, Russian Mafia or the Belarus Mafia?

3: If I went to claim the gold or silver bullion, which means I would need enter the country with a small private well armed loyal army! This would necessitate that they also share in the money. On top of this one would have to move bullion through a third world country with "mob" connections.

4: Asks for my bank account.

4A. Assume I can the washing of the money, through my connections.

5: Asks for my name, company name, telephone number, and fax number.

6: People that have gone to a country like Nigeria have been extorted and even killed. Yes I have done my homework.

7. One letter I received in August 2002, accidentally attached a list of about 1,000 e-mails. This person must be an imbecile (fool)

8: One said he had 5 million in cash that was a tip, he received from an Australian Company (that I found out did not exist), that he was willing to share with me. Even when I sent the note to him he insisted it was a true.

9: Another stated that he was a barrister for a contractor in Nigeria that left him his commission, but unfortunately died. He just gave me the name, birth date and date of death, but never the name of the Contracting Company. He just said he was in Nigeria for 20 years and left no next of kin. This meant I needed to risk my life going there and representing the next of Kin and myself.

10: The text of the 600 or so letters I received have a common base.

11. When I attached this text and the one below only two ever replied. I just guess that they are scared away.

12. They say they found my name in some database and supposedly being honest! Yes in a way I am honest, but I am financially well off such that such a venture must be interesting.

13. None of the e-mails mention my name or any other vital statistics except once where they used my last name. Thus the same database is being used to send the e-mails.

14. The text of the e-mails, which have a common base gives me the conclusion that they come from the same source.

15: Countries: Nigeria, Gold Coast, South Africa, Logos, and Cote D?Ivoire.

16. The e-mail comes from another country than what is said in the
e-mail.

17. This scam has been going on before there was an internet.

18. With the similarities of the letters, they come from one underground group that now spams in the hope of finding someone nieve.

18. Only one e-mail specified my name, but none of the e-mails know where I live.

19. According to the FBI, they have a huge file on this scam wh

Being Scammed from Nigeria

Hello, my name is Lisa. I live in South Carolina; and I have to admit that I have now been scammed twice from Nigeria. The first time I was scammed I didn't realize it until it hit me and I finally accepted the truth that the individual scammed me out of a large sum of money. The second time that I have been scammed was a moment ago when this second individual sent me a check for a large amount of money and e-mailed me to tell me that I needed to send the money to Nigeria. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are reading this, do not...I will repeat..DO NOT accept money from someone you don't know or to send money overseas. If so, you need to get the authorities involved. Its sad that these people who scam you and I...they don't care how we feel after we've been scammed. All they care about is that we fall into it without knowing it and then we end up kicking ourselves in the rearend. Please be careful who you talk to or e-mail to.

Watch out for these two individuals

There are two individuals that you need to be aware of that say that they are engineers. These two individuals told me that they had gone overseas....one in Frankfurt, Germany and the second one in the Nigeria area. Their names are Derik Bryant and John William. If you are familiar with these two names and if they have scammed you, contact the authorities immediately. Do not let these two talk you into giving them money. I had been scammed by both of these two men, and I am afraid that they are out to scam more people...preferrably women. They will tell you that they love you and they want to marry you. Watch how they spell words and how they say things to you, women. Don't fall into their schemes.

Scammers-Who are they ?

Hello,
Joining the so-called NETDATING for a while..I did meet not only one time but few times the male scammers although i have heard from some real men about their experience about the female scammers from Russia..ect..but this also happen to us..the real and serious ladies who want to expand our search just for the real love and the right partner..
Do I need to attach ?their? photos as I am sure that they never use their own photos but just copy from somewhere but they do have the similar profile?a stable ..decent man with a good job/position as a trap for the lonely ladies but I can announce their email addresses.
I did meet many male scammers with the same story that they are all widowed with one kid who lives full time with them ?besides they don?t have any relatives..parents are all deceased..no brothers or sisters..and after a short time to contact with us ..they very soon starting their business trips to Nigeria..Ghana..ect..and the climax comes when either his kid kidnapped or he is attacked and lost all money..passport..ect and we ( the ladies ) are the only person he can trust ..rely on and help him thru this harshly situation by sending him some money ( just a humble sum around 400USD to maximum 1200USD ) to rescue him and his kid..
Another new story that he is the officer of a company or government who work oversea and his next tenure would be in your country..and he needs to buy a house in your country before he comes and ask you to help him with the money transfer ( asking your account number..ect..) and before his huge sum of money come thru your account then you have to pay the so-called token fee to his bank in Africa..not much..just some hundreds USD ( 1% on the total sum transfer to your account )
Another funny story that the scammer will very soon to invest to your country and would like to transfer the money to you not thru the bank but thru some so-called diplomats who will come to meet you face-to-face to hand you a sealed box with the huge sum of money inside..and you have to pay the traspotation fees to get this box..Im order to assure the story is true..then the scammer will ask you to give them/him your ID number..telephone and you have to show your ID to the transferer/diplomats when you come to get the secret box?
The scammers? common denominator is they don?t have time to exchange emails with you to undertsnad deeper your viewpoint..character.. family or else like the real man on the way searching for his partners?.but just the simple preface to introduce about them and their jobs/situation for next step..
We still saved and stored all the scammer?s emails and chats?as a proof..care to read ?
Here is some of the email addresses that my friends and I have experienced on the way searching for the real happiness..
So..my all dear ladies ..although we really need a shoulder to lean on but never let the lonely feelings fooled us..we can continue to search by our real heart but with a lucid mind.
