United Kingdom.

Dear friend,

I am Barrister Ken Cole, a partner to Stephen Collins solicitors and advocate.
I am the principle attorney to a late client of mine, who herein after shall be
referred to as my client, Who lived here in London, he spent all his life
herein London but died of cardiac arrest after hearing of the death of his wife
and only daughter at world trade centre September 11th 2001 in America.

I personally contacted you because you bear the same last name with him, since
I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
but this proved unsuccessful.

Presently, the Bank where the deceased (my client) had a Deposit valued at
US$32 Million united states dollars issued me a notice to provide the
next-of-kin to my client to receive its benefit or have the Funds confiscated,
so I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating this benefit left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.
After all these several unsuccessful attempts, since it is not compulsory that
the next-of-kin must be a blood relation to the deceased, hence I contacted you
because you are from the same country with my late client, Be informed that a
Next-of-kin can be anybody, friends or organization.

To this effect, I now seek your consent to present you to the Bank as the next
of kin of the deceased (my Client) so that the proceeds of this Deposit valued
at US Thirty Two Million united states dollars can be paid to you and then you
and I can share the money; 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be given
to any Orphanage Home because the funds belongs to a dead person.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me with the
below details immediately you acknowledge receipt of this message. If this
business proposal affects your moral values, do accept my apology but if not,
get back to me with the information’s stated below to enable me file in an
application for the funds release from the bank where it was deposited.

Full Name:
Full Address:
Telephone Number:

Your prompt response shall be most appreciated.

Yours faithfully,
Ken Cole (Esq.)

holliday scams

Gizmodo.com has a short article about Holiday scams.

1. The Fake Online Shop
Yup, the original Internet scam is alive and well–-or at least a variation of it is. While it's really just an extension of older scams (the mail order scam, etc.), this swindle is consistently responsible for the bulk of consumer complaints, according to IC3. Crooks create a fake online store and sell things like 25-cent iPads and other ridiculously priced (or free) gear. As Hilbert notes, cyber criminals will often spend the extra time and effort to post fake recommendations on rating sites to help move their phony shop into the top slot on search engines. Gullible and deal-hungry consumers (that'd be us) stumble upon them, and, in our infinitely unwise haste, make the purchase. What happens next? Exactly what you'd expect. The crooks charge your card and never send out any product. For the creator(s) of the site, the whole endeavor costs maybe $5-10, which of course they've paid for with another stolen credit card. The lesson? "Even when you're hypersensitive and paranoid, time and effort and speed of transaction always over takes your paranoia," says Hilbert. Damn your convenience, Internet!

What you can do: Stop being gullible! If it looks too good to be true, it is. Period. Now go back to Amazon. Or at least buy something from me. ShadyGardiner.com has the best holiday deals, I swear!

Dear Friend,

With due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great assistance to me. My name is Dr. Alhaji Mohammed Atiko from Ouagadougou Republic of BURKINA FASO, West Africa . Presently i work in the African development Bank as telex manager. I have been searching for your contact since you left our country some years ago.

I do not know whether this is your correct email address or not because I only used your name initials to search for your contact .In case you are not the person I am supposed to contact, please see this as a confidential message and do not reveal it to another person but if you are not the intended receiver, do let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is top secret.

I am about to retire from active Bank service to start a new life but I am sceptical to reveal this particular secret to a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life.

It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores of Africa were gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transfer to foreign accounts so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer.
I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act; I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over $5b Dollars during the process .As I am sending this message to you, I was able to divert five million united state dollars ($5m) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to the funds is because they have made a lot of profits with the funds.
It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($5) Million Dollars has been laying waste but I don't want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver. The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you.

There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me by providing a bank account where the funds can be transferred. You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you a detailed information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance also to grab my own but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid any leakages as no one in the bank knows about the funds. Please get back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project
I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your consent to me.

Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Alhaji Mohammed Atiko.
