Scam e-mails allegedly from Tikrit-American Red Cross, Mrs. Aminata Mansaray, and others

Below are just a few random samples of the many 419 scam e-mails that I received in just one day in January, 2008 - (the 13th). Each one of these is a scam of one kind or another.

While there are many e-mails here, these e-mails are just a very small fraction of the actual amount of scam e-mails sent out each day by 419 scammers. Thus, if you've received a suspicious e-mail that isn't listed here on these pages, it doesn't mean that it isn't a scam. In fact, if you receive anything even remotely similar to any of the scam e-mails you see here or if you arrived at this page via an internet search, I can 100% guarantee you...YOU HAVE RECEIVED A SCAM E-MAIL!

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job, loan, lottery prize, gold dust, work visa, etc.) in return for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get you to willingly send them money.

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these e-mails have absolutely no connection with these scammers!

None of the scammers use their real names.
Sometimes they take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.
Whatever these scammers tell you, DON'T believe a word of it!!!

FROM MR. DOUBA AHMED,
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU,
BURKINA FASO.

Greetings and compliments of the season,

I am making this proposal to you based on my conviction that you will be capable of championing this business cause.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10.6m US dollars (Ten Million Six hundred Thousand US Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, late Mr. Abdul Rehman Afzal an Afghani who died along with his entire family in an American bomb attack on the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan in the year 2003.

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, business partner 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 during the bomb attack leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and 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 I 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 five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury account 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 as next of kin to a foreigner.

I wish to inform you that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, while the remaining 60% would be for me. Thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement accoding 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 relation, business partner or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.

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 hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.

Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,
DOUBA AHMED

My husband and two children died in a car accident six years ago. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in Sudan, South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian countries. Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people in Canberra, Australia through fire.

Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophagi cancer at Bright Life Memorial Hospital Canada. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organization. I have enclosed for you the Current Photogragh I took below Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

The Federal Ministry of Finance office was equally mandated to investigate jobs executed by foreign contractors between 1999 till date. The President stressed on the problems of foreign contractors has already faced with the past military Government and that our foreign debt has to be reduced drastically as directed by the World Bank

Consequently the Federal Ministry of Finance in conjunction with the National Assembly set aside US$1.8Billion to pay in good claims from foreign contractors / Inheritance Fund (Next of Kin).

We wish to inform you that your files was forwarded to us by various offices and departments show that you have fulfilled all conditions necessary to receive your payment

One of the reasons why your payment had been delayed for so long was because of counter-claim for the payment of your fund. This necessitated the perusal of documents relating to your contract payment we were convinced that you are the actual beneficiary of the said fund. The attempt to divert your payment to new account was done by your local representatives in collaboration with some Officials Most of the officials involved in several official miss-conducts have been sacked. This is one of the reasons why this office is now directing you to contact the Chairman Presidential Foreign Debt Disbursement Panel Mr. Francis Ibekwe because The Federal Ministry of Finance has mandated Presidential Foreign Debt Disbursement Panel to clear their foreign debt through their bank and it is our pleasure to inform you that your payment will be made either by Telegraphic Transfer or Certified International Bank Draft for immediate payment

Dear Friend,

My name is Heather Ross, Assistant Station Manager, Tikrit-American Red Cross working here in iraq with the military.
With a desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am seeking your kind assistance to move
the sum of $4.8million (Four Million Eight hundred thousand United States Dollars) to you back home in the united states
as far as I can be assured that the money will be used for charity and humanitarian purposes as strictly requested by
the owner.

Source of money: The money belonged to Cpl. Dustin R. Brisky, 26, of Round Rock, Texas, died June 4 in Tallil, Iraq, of
wounds suffered from an explosion. He was assigned to the Army Reserve's 952nd Engineer Company, Paris, Texas. The
unit was attached to the 92nd Engineer Battalion, 3rd Sustainment Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga. This
money was part of his share from the money they discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old palaces in
Tikrit, Iraq during a rescue operation. He was hoping to move the money out of Iraq to the united states before he died.
I was attending to him when he confided in me and told me about the money. His last wish was that I should help him make
arrangement to move the money out of Iraq and then contact you to receive it in the united states so that you can use it
to help the less priviledged and other charitable activities that will uplift and profit humanity and mankind.

With the help of a british contact working here, whose office enjoys immunity, I was able to get the package out of Iraq
to the United Kingdom where it is quite safe. Now the british contact does not know the real contents of the package.
She believes that they are personal valued properties of the late Dustin Brisky who trusted me to hand over the package
to his family in the united states before he died. Now I have just found a very secured way of delivering this package
to you in the united states without any problems. I will discuss this with you when I receive your response to this mail
assuring me of your willingness and capability to handle this safely and disburse the money as instructed by the late
Dustin Brisky.

Please I want you to keep this matter absolutely confidential as any leakage of this information will be too bad for
those of us serving in Iraq. I do not know how long we will still be here in Iraq, but whatever happens, I will be in
constant touch with you. Remain blessed as I await your urgent response to this mail. Please do send your response to my
safe email account: (rssheatherross@aol.com)

Heather Ross.
