From: Dr. Saleem Zakaraia

African Development Bank
Burkina Faso (ADB)
Ouagadougou - Burkina Faso.

Dear friend,

I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business, Please due welcome this letter.
I am Dr. Saleem Zakaraia, the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the African Development Bank Ouagadougou-west Africa . (A D B). With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.

At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of motor accident on November. 2003, the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven't applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is Ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00).with my positions as staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. The client was a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred into.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incur by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account.

Since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.
I will wish you to keep this transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safety in your account.

I will then come over to your country for sharing according to the previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May God help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.

Please for further information and enquires feel free to contact me back immediately for more explanation and better understanding .
I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed.
Dr. Saleem Zakaraia.

The owner of this fund is a foreigner, who died since 6th August, 1997 with his Next Of Kin.

Further details of the transaction shall be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your return mail.

Τι κάνουμε αν παραβιάσουν το Online email μας

Εαν αρχίσουν φίλοι και γνωστοί να μας ενημερώνουν ότι τους στέλνουμε διαφημιστικά spam emails τότε email μας έχει παραβιαστεί.

Πριν κάνουμε οτιδήποτε άλλο χρησιμοποιούμε ένα antivirus-antispyware γρήγορα στο pc από εξωτερικό usb stick ή έστω αφού το εγκαταστήσουμε στο σκληρό δίσκο. Αυτό που μας ενδιαφέρει εδώ είναι να ανακαλύψουμε τυχών προγράμματα keyloggers που καταγράφουν το τι πληκτρολογούμε και το στέλνουν στον διαδικτυακό εγκληματία.

Πριν αλλάξουμε κωδικό στο email.
Στη συνέχεια ελέγχουμε στο email μας μέσα στις ρυθμίσεις, αν έχουν αλλάξει τις ερωταπαντήσεις για το password σου. Η Yahoo το Hotmail κλπ δίνουν τη δυνατότητα υπενθύμισης του κωδικού μας αν τον ξεχάσουμε απαντώντας σωστά σε κάποιες ερωτήσεις τις οποίες έχουμε απαντήσει συνήθως κατά την εγγραφή στην υπηρεσία. Αυτές, οι διαδικτυακού εγκληματίες εφόσον έχουν αποκτήσει μια φορά πρόσβαση στο email μας μπορούν να τις αλλάξουν ή να τις απομνημονεύσουν. Έτσι μπορούν να βρουν τον νέο κωδικό μας χωρίς ιδιαίτερη δυσκολία.

Επίσης ελέγχουμε αν έχουν βάλει άσχετο secondary email για να τους στέλνονται οι αλλαγές στον κωδικό μας. Επίσης υπηρεσία υπενθύμισης κωδικού που χρησιμοποιείται για την υποκλοπή κωδικών.

Ελέγχουμε την υπογραφή στα email και την αυτόματη απάντηση όταν για περίπτωση διακοπών μήπως έχουν βάλει τα δικά τους διαφημιστικά μηνύματα.

Μετά από όλα αυτά και υποθέτοντας ότι έχεις καθαρίσει τις βρομιές, άλλαξε τον κωδικό σου χρησιμοποιώντας γράμματα και αριθμούς και κεφαλαία και ίσως ειδικούς χαρακτήρες ($^*#%#)

Σχετικά απλοί κωδικοί αλλά και δύσκολο να βρεθούν είναι από τα αρχικά μιας πρότασης
πχ: Το μπλόγκ Αυτό είναι Καταπληκτικό, το οποίο γίνεται με χρήση του shift εναλλάξ : ΤμΑεΚ και κοτσάρουμε δίπλα ή ανάμεσα και ένα νούμερο πατώντας το shift πάλι πχ : @4^5&0 ή μια ακολουθία Fibonacci :P

φρόντισε να μην ξεχάσεις το νέο password και απόλαυσε την ηρεμία σου από τα ρεμάλια :)

ΑΠΑΤΗ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗΣ ΧΡΗΜΑΤΩΝ ΜΕΣΩ EMAIL ΦΙΛΩΝ

TANEA.gr

«Ηµουν στο εξωτερικό για επαγγελµατικό ταξίδι, όταν διάφοροι φίλοι µου άρχισαν να µου τηλεφωνούν και µε αγωνία να µε ρωτούν τι µου έχει συµβεί και πόσα χρήµατα χρειάζοµαι. Μόλις ξεπέρασα το πρώτο σοκ κατάλαβα πως είχα πέσει θύµα απάτης στο Ιντερνετ».

Η φωτογράφος Μάρω Κουρή προστέθηκε στη λίστα των θυµάτων του νέου τύπου της νιγηριανής απάτης, που µετράει ήδη αρκετές εκατοντάδες «θύµατα» στην Ελλάδα και αρκετές χιλιάδες ευρώ που κατέληξαν στην τσέπη των επιτήδειων.

Οσοι βρίσκονταν στη λίστα των επαφών του ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδροµείου που διατηρούσε η κ. Κουρή στο Υahoo, έλαβαν ταυτόχρονα το ίδιο µήνυµα. «Επρεπε να έρθω στην Αγγλία για επείγουσες δουλειές. Κλέφτες όµως µπήκαν στο ξενοδοχείο µου και µου έκλεψαν τη βαλίτσα, το πορτοφόλι και όλα µου τα προσωπικά έγγραφα. Η πρεσβεία µού έδωσε µόνο ταξιδιωτικά έγγραφα. Δυστυχώς δεν έχω µαζί το τηλέφωνό µου και οι τηλεφωνικές γραµµές του ξενοδοχείου χάλασαν µετά τη ληστεία. Ετσι µπορείτε να µε βρείτε µόνο µέσω email. Σας παρακαλώ, στείλτε µου 1.500 λίρες ή όποιο άλλο ποσό µπορείτε και θα σας τα επιστρέψω όταν γυρίσω πίσω. Ο πιο ασφαλής και σίγουρος τρόπος για να πάρω τα χρήµατα είναι να µου τα στείλετε µέσω της Western Union Μoney».

Εστειλε τα λεφτά
Τουλάχιστον ένας φίλος της κ. Κουρή έπεσε θύµα των αετονύχηδων του Διαδικτύου. «Δεν κατάφερε να επικοινωνήσει µαζί µου και θεώρησε πως όντως µου είχε συµβεί ό,τι περιγραφόταν στο µήνυµα. Ετσι έστειλε λεφτά στους απατεώνες».

Οι κακοποιοί στην περίπτωση της κ. Κουρή εκµεταλλεύτηκαν τη βιασύνη της να δώσει προσωπικά της στοιχεία χωρίς προηγουµένως να τσεκάρει το περιεχόµενο ενός µηνύµατος που θεωρητικά της εστάλη από τον πάροχο της ηλεκτρονικής της αλληλογραφίας. «Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις αποστέλλεται στον κάτοχο ενός email ένα µήνυµα όπου η εταιρεία του λέει πως θα κάνει αναβάθµιση του λογαριασµού και ζητάει τον κωδικό πρόσβασης. Αν ο χρήστης δώσει τον κωδικό άνοιξε απευθείας την πόρτα στους απατεώνες», λέει στα «ΝΕΑ» ανώτερος αξιωµατικός της Δίωξης Ηλεκτρονικού Εγκλήµατος. Οι αστυνοµικοί συνιστούν σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις να αλλάξει η διεύθυνση του ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδροµείου και όχι µόνο ο κωδικός πρόσβασης. «Αν µια φορά αποκτήσουν δυνατότητα πρόσβασης στο email, την έχουν για πάντα», επισηµαίνει ανώτερος αξιωµατικός της ΕΛ.ΑΣ. Σύµφωνα µε εκτιµήσεις, κάθε χρόνο µε τον τρόπο αυτό οι απατεώνες κερδίζουν περισσότερα από 4 δισεκατοµµύρια ευρώ παγκοσµίως, ενώ συνεχώς εξελίσσουν τις απάτες τους.

Οταν πας και ζητάς 2 κυβικά μέτρα περλομπετό στην ΚΑΛΛΙΑΚΜΑΝΗΣ ΜΟΝΩΤΙΚΑ Ε.Π.Ε. στην Κηφισιά, Χ.ΤΡΙΚΟΥΠΗ 182 με τηλέφωνο 8070320/6202160 που δεν γνωρίζεις πόσα σακιά είναι και τους λες ότι θέλεις και 1 σακί τσιμέντο ανά τέσσερα σακιά περλομπετό και σου κουνάνε το κεφάλι καταφατικά περιμένεις στην τιμή που θα σου δώσουν και θα σου στείλουν (που χρεώνουν έξτρα) να περιλαμβάνεται και το τσιμέντο που αντιστοιχεί στα 2 κυβικά μέτρα μπετό αλλιώς δεν είναι μπετόβλακες αλλά ανέντιμοι ολκής.

Μετά όταν τους παίρνεις τηλέφωνο σου λένε ότι "εσύ θα μας πεις πόσα σακιά τσιμέντο χρειάζεσαι".
Τι λες ρε μάστορα; Από εσένα περιμένω να μου πεις αυτά που δεν ξέρω αλλιώς είσαι ανέντιμος και δεν ξαναγοράζω τίποτα από εσένα και ενημερώνω και όσους έχουν την τύχη να σε ψάξουν online για την απαράδεκτη εξυπηρέτηση που προσφέρεις και τις πανάκριβες τιμές σου.

Εκτός αυτού όταν σου ζητάνε τιμολόγιο κόβεις τιμολόγιο και όχι απόδειξη και δίνεις και ρέστα όσο λίγα και να είναι αυτά. ΑΛΛΙΩΣ ΑΝ ΔΕΝ ΕΧΕΙΣ ΝΑ ΔΩΣΕΙΣ ΡΕΣΤΑ που είναι απαράδεκτο από μόνο του σα γεγονός κόψε αυτά που σου δίνει ο πελάτης.

Μακριά και αγαπημένοι.

Ο επόμενος στα Μελίσσια από τον οποίο αγόρασα το τσιμέντο που εσύ δεν μου έδωσες, μου επέτρεψε να κάνω όσες διαδρομές χρειαζόταν με το αυτοκίνητο μου για να τα μεταφέρω και να πληρώσω όταν τελείωνα τα δρομολόγια. Έτσι για να συγκρίνουμε το service σου με άλλων

Burkina-Faso West Africa.

Dear Patner,

(PRIVATECONFIDENTIAL)

I am Mr Solomon Elih, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Banque De L'Habitat Au BHBF Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso, West-Africa. I would like you to indicate your interest to receive the transfer of US$12.5 Million Dollars. I will like you to stand as the next of kin to our deceased customer whose account is presently dormant for claims. Please once you are interested kindly send me the following details information below.

1.Your full Name:......

2.Resident Address:........

3.Private phone:....

4.Country:.........

5.Occupation:.........

6.Age:.....

Regards,

Mr.Solomon Elih

Dear Patner,

Thanks for your quickly respond to my email.I really appreciate your willingness to assist me in this business and i do assure you that once you could be able to deal with me sincerely and honestly that we would have a smooth and successful business.

This is to give you more information regarding this business, please note that this transaction is 100 percent risk/hitch free why because before I contacted you I have perfected strategies that will guarantee a smooth and hitch free transaction principally because of my position in this bank.

Like you saw in my proposal letter, this money has been lying in this bank after the death of the owner who is a foreigner here in this country Burkina-Faso called Ashwin Billings by name and unfortunately the customer died with his wife and two children in the lndia airways flight mishap of 1999 and since then all efforts to get across to his relatives proved abortive and since then this money has been in a dormant account in this Bank, and so the bank governing body is planning to convert his account into government treasury and which I do not want this to happen, and that is why I wrote you, suggesting to you to apply as next of kin to the deceased.

Now, because of my position in this bank as the Director in charge of accounting and auditin unit in this bank, I have decided to use my position to present any reliable and competent foreigner as the next of kin to the deceased whom should be paid this money as true inheritor. Therefore, I will prepare an application of claim on which I will forward to you for you to send it to the management of this bank and as result of the application, I believe that after verifications, they will then approve this money in your name.

Once this approval for payment is granted this money, it will be transfered into any of your nominated bank account and as soon as this is done I will then come down to your country to see the investment climate there. As soon as this transaction is over, all documents relating to the account of the deceased customer will be destroyed and the records in our computer system will be deleted to ensure that in the next one million years no body will ever have any reason to remember this account again.

What you should do now is to send to me through this mail box:

1.Your Full Name:............
2.Your full Resident Address.........
3.Private Phone:.........
4.Country:.........
5.Occupation:......

Upon the receipt of the above mentioned data, this transaction will commence immediately and I assure you that this transaction will not last more than seven working days.

You should also feel free to call me on my phone number +22676140002 for us to discuss orally, meanwhile as soon as you receive this mail just send all the needed information so that we will commence this transaction immediately.

Best Regards,
Mr.Solomon Elih.

From the Telex/SWIFT & Credit Clearing Department URGENT PAYMENT OF FUNDS; Amount : USD$5,798,000=00 (In words : Five Million, Seven Hundred and Ninety Eight Thousand United States Dollars/Zero cents)

Dear Sir,
Following several petitions against delays and frustrations in payment of inheritance Funds submitted through the Office of the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice on Inheritance Funds; The Office of the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice makes justice accessible to all and ensures that all verified claims for unpaid Inheritance money are dealt with in an efficient manner consistent with the ideals of democracy and the rule of law in order to promote economic growth as set forth in the Inheritance Payment Regulations. On June 10, 2010, in a class action lawsuit, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice ruled on the part of unpaid inheritance Funds that the concerned agencies must pay all unpaid fund claims. As a result of that decision, the central bank has advised us to immediately process all approved payments to short-listed bona fide beneficiaries. NOTICE We have therefore commenced payment as a result of this decision. And upon review, your name was short-listed as one of the beneficiaries to unpaid inheritance money that has been floating in our sundry account, deposited as bulk delivery through Laiki Bank Channel Islands. There are a total of thirty- six (36) payments sent to our bank under the instructions of the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice. Eleven payments have since been completed, while 25 still unpaid, we advice as status payment ready for onward remittance to your account as the final beneficiary. The fund transfer will be credited via swift as a 72hrs (3-days) normal banking period is allowed and shall be taking its normal banking routing and clearing system through our correspondent bank, ICICI Bank Canada. However, before we go ahead with the payment, you MUST acknowledge this message and authorize us to go ahead and process the remittance. Urgently contact the below manager who shall process your payment. We look forward to hearing from you.

From the Telex/SWIFT & Credit Clearing Department; PLEASE READ MY RESPONSE ATTACHED FOR YOUR PAYMENT


Thank you for your reply. Once again we confirm that your name appeared as the beneficiary to one of the unpaid inheritance money totaling USD$5,798,000 that has been floating in our sundry account, deposited as bulk delivery through Laiki Bank Channel Islands. Your payment will be remitted via swift and shall be routed through our correspondent bank, ICICI Bank Canada. Even though we have instructions to remit the fund to your account, but as a preferred and important customer to this bank, we will not fail in our responsibility to advise you on concerning large fund transfers. It is important you know that since the 9/11 terrorist attack in USA, large wire has been strictly monitored to make sure it has no link with terrorism, drug or money laundering activities. Therefore, we have to also let you know other options available for you to receive your payment apart from bank to bank transfer, to avoid questioning or placing your fund on hold by your local bank, even if you have banked with your bank for many years, if you are suddenly about to come into a large sum of money – in the form of an inheritance pay out or contract payment or just a lump sum from an investment which runs into millions of dollars – the vast majority of banks will treat the money and you with suspicion. Even if the bank accepts the money, they will hold it for as long as they need to while they conduct investigations into the legitimacy of the source. During this period, you will have no access to funds in your account, you will be subject to financial scrutiny and you will have to provide information required of you to prove the legitimacy of the money. If this is your preferred choice, kindly indicate by providing the below required banking details that will enable the transfer: 1. YOUR FULL NAME: 2. YOUR ADDRESS: 3. MAILING ADDRESS: 4. CONTACT PHONE: 5. DATE OF BIRTH: 6. PROFESSION: 7. COPY OF YOUR PASSPORT OR IDENTITY: 8. RECEIVING BANK NAME: 9. BANK ADDRESS: 10. ACCOUNT NO: 11. BANKS SWIFT CODE: 12. BANK ABA/ROUTINE/IBAN NO: 13. ACCOUNT NAME/BENEFICIARY: As an alternate to the direct bank to bank wire transfer, we can pay you by INTERNATIONAL VALID, NON CANCELLABLE ATM DEBIT BANK CARD covering the total fund. This payment system is fast and easy and we will only have to process your ATM card and load your total funds directly in the card and despatch it to you within 72hrs of this same payment order and a maximum withdrawal value of $35,000.00 USD is permitted on withdrawal per day. Be further informed that the issuing bank being duly inter-switched with banks all over the world, you can use the ATM DEBIT CARD to withdraw funds at any ATM Cash Center familiar with ATM system available in all major Banking places of your choice in the world. This payment system does not require you to present any clearance documents like Anti-terrorist or money laundering clearance certificates etc as in bank to bank wire transfer. In addition, this method does not waste time, because once you comply with the issuing procedures for the card, your payment is guaranteed. Once the card is processed and issued, it must be submitted to the Court Funds Office (CFO) for assessment and certification of signature, this process will be completed through our notary and the official court certification will be issued in your favor to cover this total sum. NB: This process requires an assessment, registration and certification of signature fee which you must provide before the assessment is conducted. After this, the ATM card will be dispatched to your address by registered courier. We look forward to hearing from you shortly. Sincerely,

Christian Dorsch Chief Financial/ Private Debt Management Telex/SWIFT & Credit Clearing Department Tel: +353.1.48.53.540
