January 1, 2008- FINALLY! The following fraud alert was received by Arrested.Com on New Years Morning. Of all the Fraud letters that we receive, we feel this one contains more truth than it does lies. It says that certain people living in Nigeria are attempting to "rip you off". They feel as if these "bad people" (their names are provided in the "Fraud Notice"), somehow give their lovely country of NIGERIA, a bad reputation. That part may be true, but Do Not fall victim to this scam! |

PHONE SCAM-November 06, 2007. The latest attempt to steal your personal information involves an automated phone credit card activation system that has already stolen millions of dollars from people who fall for this cleaver approach. When we called the number we were greeted with a pleasant sounding automated females voice. It asked us to enter our credit card information including the 3-digit code and expiration date. The voice told us that our credit card had been reactivated but had we entered valid card information instead of random numbers our account would certainly have been compromised. Please pass this on to everyone you know. Check back often for more fraud updates. |

FROM THE DESK OF:MR. Brian Capon.
NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK,
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Brian Capon. the system and control director at the
NATIONAL
WESTMINISTER BANK.I am writing this letter to solicit for support
and
assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my
bank. Lying in an inactive account is the sum of 16million pounds
sterling
belonging to a foreign customer(Michael Gambone) who was a gas
consultant
here in UK,who happens to be deceased during a business trip. He
died
with his wife(Deborah Gambone) on board the Swissair Flight 111 ,
which
crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd
1998.
The news of this crash was on the news which we have notified
his
relatives to no avail.See links below for more detail
information:
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/08/swissair.02/ Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of kin
to come
and claim these fund. To this effect, we can not release the
money
unless someone applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our
banking
guideline. Unfortunately he has no family member in UK or Over-sea who are
aware
of the existence of the money(as he was a gas consultant.
At this juncture i have decided to do business with you.To this
effect
I solicit your assistance in applying as the next of kin to the
bank
then the money will be released to you,as I do not want this money
to go
into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill,because the banking law
and
guideline stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed
for a period of up to eight years(8yrs),the money will be
transferred
into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.
My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the
fact
that the customer was a foreigner and a British cannot stand as
next of
kin. 40% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner and
your
assistance to actualise this business,5% for any expenses
incured.
Thereafter i will visit your country with your help once the money
hits your
account for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as
agreed,you must
apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the
deceased,then we will follow up all formalities for the
transaction. Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you, the text of
the
application you are to send to the bank,and further clearify you in
other
issues as to effect this business. Awaiting to hear from you urgently.
Best Regards
Mr.Brian Capon. |
This letter is from an elderly lady who has a problem and
she needs your help. Her late husband left her so much money that
she can't spend it all by herself! Notice how the use of religion
and charity are meant to pull on your heartstrings.
Beware!

My Dear Beloved,
Calvary greetings, I am Miriam Dela Ysusf, widow to Late Sherrif Dela
Ysusf, I am 69 years old, suffering from protracted cancer of the
breast. From all indications, my condition is serious and very bad,
according to my doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the
sickness, but as a child of God I believe in his miracles therefore I will not
die until Gods time for me, I will live to declare the glory of God in
my life. My husband and our only son were killed in fatal auto accident
on there way from the hospital to see me.
My late husband was a successful businessman, a contract with shell
petroleum, and former cabinet minister. Before his death he did some jobs
for shell, just last month I got a letter from shell that the payment
for the jobs are due, I was perplexed as I don’t know what to do with
the money at this stage of my life coupled with my state of health.
After thinking of several options and several weeks of prayer, I
decided to WILL the total sum to charity through you, if you can use this
fund for the work of charity, please forward your full name, address,
telephone and fax numbers to me immediately for full details, such as the
amount and how it will be paid to you. (My contact email:
miriamyusuf@o2.pl)
Best regards,
Miriam Yusuf |
