EMAIL SCAMS - BEWARE!!! : NavyCS Server News

This tread is dedicated to posting scams you get via E-Mail. Please don't fall for this crap!!

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Rafiq Rehman , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Rafiq Rehman that is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart

God be with you.
Rafiq Rehman

FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION, Due to my careful search for an honest, reliable and sincere business partner, I got your contact from a reliable source and I ask if you can be trusted not to break an agreement? Still, it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and to offer you this proposal of mine of which my whole life depends on. I WRITES TO INFORM YOU MY DESIRE TO INVEST, AND TO BUY A LIVING HOUSE IN YOUR COUNTRY My name is Adams Stevens, the Son of Mr. Behki kelvin Stevens, a white farmer and supporter of the Movement for Democratic Change, the main opposition party in Zimbabwe.

My father was abducted, shot and killed during the current crises against the farmers in Zimbabwe with the supports of President Robert Mugabe who claimed all the white-owned farms for his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all farms to his party members and his followers. My father is One of the most successful farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabe`s ideas, Mugabes supporters invaded his farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing him and made away with a lot of items in my fathers farm.

During the crises and before his death, my father had deposited with a FINANCE HOUSE IN ASIA the sum of (USD $25.5 MILLION). After the death of my father, I decided to move to Republic of SENEGAL where I re-located under political asylum as a refugee to seek for foreign partner overseas that will assist me to move this money out of THE FINANCIAL HOUSE to your country as I have made up my mind to invest and live in your country. As an asylum seeker I am not allowed to operate any Bank Account within DAKAR-SENEGAL.I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance as soon as the money gets into your account while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction both local and international.

I have sought the assistance of an attorney in Thailand, who I have given all the relevant document concerning the finance house and the money. I want truth and honest to be our watch word in this transaction and please treat this transaction with strictly confidential for the successful out come of it. All I want you to do is to furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers and also your private e-mail address for easy and urgent communication. Note that this transaction is absolutely confidential.

Thanks for Your Co-operation
Yours Sincerely
Adams Stevens

ATTN: Sir / Madam.


I am blessed to write you this letter and your are highly favored in the
sight of God almighty! It shall be well
with you and your family in the name of almighty God!!

This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect.
Sorry at this perceived confusion or
stress you may have receiving this letter from me, Since we have not known
ourselves or met previously.
Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the
urgency of it.

I am Mrs. HANNAH RASHEED the wife of late LT. - Gen. Dennis AHMED MOMOH
RASHEED former
ECOMOG ARMY COMMANDER (West African Peacekeeping Force in Sierra Leone) who
died in the
Sierra Leone civil disturbance "War".

My three daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom traditional norms.
We have suffered maltreatment
and untold hardship in the hands of late husband's family, simply because I
did not bear a male child {heir apparent}
for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband had, (wealth)
belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is
to be remarried by his immediate younger brother which I vehemently
refused.

They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including
treasures, houses and his bank particular seized by them.
I wanted to escape to the United State of America or Europe with my
Children on exile, but again they conspired and stole my
international passport and other traveling document to further frustrate
me.

Thank God, two weeks ago, I received key text code (KTC) from a Security &
Finance Company that my
late husband deposited USD $ 8.7m { Eight million Seven hundred thousand
Dollars} cash with this
Company.

It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact someone or
whom-ever from abroad, A
foreigner like you to help me receive or secure these funds overseas in a
reliable bank account/
(Presumably an empty Bank Account, if available) and to help invest it on
our behalf as well, while we
find a way of getting out to meet with you in your Country.

These funds are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the Security
Company to avoid
detection, Seizure or Diversion. I have had several telephone discussions
with the Assistance Director
of the Security Company, who has express his honest concern and willingness
to assist me on meeting
any company's demand, as soon as I submit a reliable bank account for the
wire transfer. This is why
I have contacted you to help save us and you to accept to receiving these
funds on our behalf.

But, you would need to give me sufficient assurance that if you help me,
you will not divert the funds.
My Children and I have resolved to give you a wonderful percentage that
might be considerate of the
total sum. This is all my Children and I have got to live on.

Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not
disappoint me.
I look forward to your urgent response, including your fax no for easier
communication.

NB: The Secret codes (E.g Pin number. Secret Access Code) for this fund are
safely kept with me which
I can give you as soon as you express desire to help me.

Stay blessed and God grant you all your heart wishes, Amen!
Mrs. Hannah Rasheed.
