        RE: TRANSFER OF [ US$48,223,000. 00 ]
     (FORTY EIGHT MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY    
THREE THOUSAND U.S DOLLAR)

     

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important
business having gone through your remarkable profile
on the internet. Though, this medium (Internet) has
been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it
because it still remains the fastest medium of
communication. However, this correspondence is
unofficial and private, and it should be treated as
such.

At first I will like to assure you that this
transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both
parties.

My name is Mr Kenneth Okon, I work as the operational
manager in account management section in charge of
credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks
here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a
Balance Of US$48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight million two
hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar).On
further discreet investigation, I also discovered that
the account holder has died long ago with his family
on a fatal Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary to the
account and no other person knows about this account.

I am in close contact with the manager of the bank
here who is my partner and he is willing to approve
the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner
with foreign bank account because the former operator
of the a/c is a foreigner and from Australia in
particular.  I am certainly sure that he has no writen
or oral WILL attached to the account , no beneficiary
and nobody will come again for the claim of this
money. It is only a foreigner who can claim this money
with legal claims to the account holder which I will
provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need
your cooperation in this transaction. The difference
in country of origins is not a hindrance to the
success of this transaction. This money will remain
useless in this dormant account if I did not transfer
the fund out to a foreign account.

I will provide the necessary information and documents
needed in order to claim this money. I only need your
cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank
account information for the transfer. All arrangement
that will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the
account which you are to nominate is already in
place.You should also provide me with your direct
phone lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost
confidentiality in handling this transaction.

At the conclussion of this transaction, your share
will be 25% of the total transfer sum, 70% for me and
my partner while 5% will be set aside for any expenses
both parties might incure during the process of the
transfer. The fund will be transferred to your account
in two parts. I will first transfer USD 20 Million to
your account. I will fly over to meet you after the
successful transfer for sharing according to the
agreed percentages.

I will  have the remaining balance
of USD28,223 Million transferred to your account only
after the successful sharing of the first transfer
without any disappointment from your side.

Let me hear from you URGENTLY.

Best Regards,
Mr Kenneth Okon.

Dear Friend,

I want to transfer out £15,000,000.00
(Fifteen Million Pounds Sterling) from our bank here,
I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable for this important transaction,
believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.

I want to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad
but i don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be approved to any local
bank here in Scotland, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is pounds sterlings and the former
owner of the account is John Hughes and he was a foreigner too.


I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with a foreign account as the real beneficiary.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the
total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during this process.

Send me as a matter of urgent for onward processing:

(1) Your Private: Tele& Fax Number
(2) Your Account: Number you trust where the money will transferd
(3) Your Account: Name
(4) Your Bank: Address
(5) Your Bank: Name

I await your earliest reply,
Thanks.

Sincerely,
Mr. PETER KHAN

Ahhh, not really. A bank manager, or any other bank staff member, can't transact on an account without the account holders permission. This may only be Oral permission but it's still needed. For example, if I was balancing my drawer and discovered that I was $20 over, I'd go back through my days work to find where I had shortchanged a customer (we do have a reason for all those breakups of notes on the withdrawel dockets  :D ). I would then phone the customer and let them know and ask what they would like done with the $20. We can't just put the money in their account without their permission.

You 'log in' with your password. They take you to a page which updates your info (they even ask your pin number and everything), then they try to be generous and kick you directly to PayPal with the username and password you gave. I wish one could see the stats to see how many people actually fall for these things!

http://www.phishfighting.com/

Basically, whenever you get one of these emails from a paypal or ebay scammer, you simply copy and paste their fake URL into the tool and set it up to run. It'll overload the scammer's email inbox with hundreds of authentic-looking, yet fake usernames and passwords, making it next to impossible for them to distinguish a real victim's login info from all the fake ones.

So, whenever you get one of these phishing type emails in the future, you know what to do!  :evil
