Here is the story. I'm sure you have all heard about the Nigeria scams of transferring money to someone's account. Well, someone attempted to scam me but I want to play back hard. The following is an account between the scammer and me. Please post suggestions for my next e-mail back to him. Let us begin with his first e-mail to me.

Dear Sir,

My name is Hartman Onowu,I am the operational manager
in account management section incharge of credit and
foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South
Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer
of my bank who perished with his whole families on
25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF4590 ]
with the whole passengers aboard.

There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by
this great late INDUSTRIALIST who died without a
written or oral WILL attatched to the account. Since
his death , 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 and no
other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it,the account has no other beneficiary and
until his death he was the manager of his company.

The total amount involved is 16,000,000.00
USD.[Sixteen Million United States Dollar ]. We wish
to start the first transfer with $6,000,000.00[Six
million] and open successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account. I have secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.

The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six years without claim hence the money
will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of domancy. In view
of this I got your contact through my personal search
to see if you can assist by providing your safe bank
account for the transfer or find a reliable person who
will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her
personal account.

At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund
will be for me, I will give you 20% of the total
transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and in
your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside
to settle expenses both parties might incure during
the transfer process. Upon the receipt of your reply,
I will send to you a detailed information about the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.

When you receive this letter, Kindly send me an e-mail
or you can call me or fax me. You should also include
your private fax and phone numbers for easy and safe communication.

TEL:874-763-648313, 874-763-648314.
FAX:874-763-648315.

Respectfully yours,
Hartman Onowu.

Dear Jason,

I would like to confirm good receipt of your email. In
order to proceed in full confidence and complete trust
would you be so kind to provide me with a brief
information about you and to send me your full account
detail where you would like the fund to be
transferred, it can be an Empty account provided it is
still active and you are the only signatory to the
account.

I will also like you to assure me that you will not
let me down either now or in the future as I
stongly hope to establish a strong long lasting
business relationship with you. On this ground we can
proceed in complete trust.

From here I can then, on your instructions, process
the transfer of the fund to any destination you
requested. Further more I would like you to assist us
in areas of investment. I would like to invest my own
share of the fund on real estate or any viable
project.

I would also like to stress that in this kind of
transaction one must possess the ability to start and
close deal very fast. Hence you should give priority
attention to this transaction. The fund for transfer
is of non drug, terrorist or criminal related. As such
this transaction is 100% free of risk and trouble.

The deceased, Late ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich,
Germany among others perished with all the members of
his families on 25th July,2000 CONCORDE plan clash
[Flight AF4590]. For further detail visit;

[2] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm


Until his death he was the Manager of SCHRANNER GOLD
[pty]SA. He held this account with a prime bank were I
work, FIRSTRAND BANK S.A. I work with this bank,
FIRSTRAND BANK SOUTH AFRICA. My real name is KHEHLA
CLEOPAS SHUBANE.I USED THE NAME IN MY FIRST LETTER AS
A SECURITY MEASURE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW YOU
BEFORE,and you should address me with that name in my
first letter of proposal through out our communication
in this business.

You can visit our bank website for verification of my
true identity at http://www.firstrand.co.za

On receipt of the above information and a strong
assurance from you that my trust and confidence in you
is not misplaced, I will then start to process the
transfer of the fund to your account without further
delay. I will forward an application for the release
of the said amount on your behalf to the bank. I will
also forward your account detail to the bank and to
the Ministry of Finance for Foreign Transfer Approval
in your favor. So as soon as the fund is approved for
transfer to your account, you as the foreign
beneficiary of the fund will be required to go to Our
Foreign Offshore Payment Centre clossest to you for
the signing of the final fund release order.

After the signing the fund will be transferred to your
account in your present while you are still in the
payment office and you will call your bank to
confirm receipt of the fund in your account. On
confirmation of the successful transfer of the fund to
your account, I will fly over with the next available
flight to meet you up so that I can go back with you
to your Bank for sharing and investment as I stated in
my first letter of proposal.

After the proper sharing of the first $6 Million, we
will be together in your country and I will have the
remaining balance of 10 Million transferred to your
account and we will also share the same as I stated
earlier.

At moment you should not tell your bank that large
amount is to be transferred into your account until
after you must have signed the final fund release
order form in Our Foreign Offshore Payment Office in
because that will be the only time all the documents
to back up the transfer as a legitimate fund which
does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism
or any other illegal act will be ready in your name
and will accompany the fund to your account so that
your bank or your government will not question the
transfer.

This information is highly confidential and you should
keep it only to yourself .

I would like to receive in return your acceptance to
proceed as suggested. Urgency is indeed needed.

Looking forward to a mutual beneficial partnership and
welcome you to South Africa would be my great
pleasure.

Yours faithfully,
Hartman Onowu

Mr. Onowu,

I will begin by giving you a little background about me as well. Three years ago, my grandmother passed away (may God bless her soul) and left me an inheritance of $4.6 million dollars. Although I would gladly trade the money to have her back, I am forced to accept reality and go on living without her. You see, my grandmother and I were very close, as she raised me after the untimely death of my parents in a freak roller coaster accident at an amusement park 13 years ago.

At this point, I would like to get to know you a little better before I entrust you with the account numbers necessary to make a successful transfer.

This will take a good deal of my time in helping you, so I hope that I will be paid accordingly.

Please write me back Mr. Onowu. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Ok, this is where it stands. I need some ideas to get back with him on ...

Dear Jason,

Thanks for your mail, Your points are well noted. It
interest me as I went through your mail and I will
like to re-assure you that this transaction is totally
free of risk and trouble. I wouldn't have involved
myself in this transaction if it is not safe. This is
my over two decades in banking experience besides that
I am from a royal family and I will never do anything
that will tarnish or jeopardize the good image of my
family. My word is my bond and I value it more than
dollar. I decided to make use of this great
opportunity because if I leave this money in this
account for the next 6 months to come the fund will be
taken over by the government for there selfish use.
You should give priority attention to this business if
you are really capable of handling this business that
requires great trust and confidence bearing in mind
that this is not a regular business that comes and
goes on a daily bases, it is a God sent opportunity
and such opportunity usually comes once in a man's
life time.

What we should all learn from the life of DECEASED is
that we should try to be useful not only for ourselves
but for others as well since, as you see, that is all
what remains when we return to the Creator, no need to
explain further since you are follower of GOD. Nothing
can be taken with us only the meaning of our actions
and memories we leave with others as well. God had
intended and ordered for us to be in contact. I have
no doubt about that. The DECEASED lived only for
himself. Now it is given to us to divert this life
back to the use of the community.

I am ready to conclude this business with you hoping
that my trust and confidence in you is not in any way misplaced. As such I will like you to send me a copy of your international passport so that I will know that you are for real. You should also send me the safe account detail where you will like the fund to be transferred so that I will start the transfer process without further delay. It is my wish to establish a strong long lasting business relationship with you as I will like to invest my share of the fund in your country on a real estate property or any viable project with your assistance.

The fisrt phase of the transfer can be concluded
within 7 to 9 banking days of the receipt of your
banking coordinates for the transfer if you can speedy
up action. The fund will be transferred to your
account under the back up cover of repatriation of
earnings and investment scheme. On the receipt of the
safe account detail, I will use it to secure all the
necessary legal foreign transfer approvals in your
name from the appropriate authorities here and those
documents will accompany the transfer to your bank to
prove a clean source of origin of the fund so that
your bank or your government will not question the
transfer.

I will send you a copy of my international passport
later today for identification of myself. Further more
you can visit our bank website for verification of my
true identity at http://www.firstrand.co.za

I look forward to hear from you.

Best regards,
Hartman

NOTE; I was sad to hear that your Grandmother passed
away three years ago, but it is a price which every
human on earth must pay to the Almighty God. I pray
may her soul rest in perfect peace.

Seems your friend isn't aware that all transfers in excess of $10,000 are questioned and reported to the IRS.

Because of the high volume of scams, the need for confidentiality makes this "business arrangement" highly suspect.

So he's planning to steal from his own government and make you an accomplice.
 
Aphie,

This is one of the oldest scams in the book. I get these e-mails all the time. The US government issues warnings about these all the time. They basically want you to pre-pay the taxes and then they will fund your account with the money promised. Of course this never happens. I have always wanted to play around with these people just for shits and grins. Tell them you are very interested and see if you can nail them.
 
Dear Hartman,

As requested I am sending you a copy of my American passport and hope that this will further cement the bond that is growing between us.

As a gesture of goodwill and appreciation of your kind offer, let me reciprocate by inviting you to the United States entirely at my expense. This will facilitate the speedy closing of our intended transaction as you will be able to take home with you all the necessary documentation. All I need is your name, address and passport number and my travel agent will arrange for an electronic ticket to be immediately available for downloading. It will be my pleasure to show you the sites of my beautiful country as I'm sure you'd do the same for me. Please let me know what date would suit you and I will then ask for time off from my employer, the Department of Justice, where I work. May God grant us the opportunity to meet in the near future.

Your friend,
Jason
