I Just Got US$10,500,000.00 Without Any Work
I am RICH!!!!!! 🙂
.
A wealthy foreigner so called Jane Kamara, would gave me a hefty percentage of this fortune as a reward should I help her to move the million inheritance from his homeland!!!!
.
This is a scammer at Work.
Just use your common sense and ask yourself—Why would a Stranger want to pay someone that they do not know to transfer so much money?
Never response to these unsolicited spam emails and just delete them.
***Take Note: There are no such thing as get-rich-quick schemes—the only people who make money are the scammers alone.
*** Transferring money for someone else could be money laundering, which is illegal.
If you agree to help the scammer by letting them use your bank account, you could be getting yourself in a very serious trouble.
If you agree to take part, the scammer could use your bank account details to wipe out all your savings money.
Due to Greed, some people do fall into this trap(scam)

419: The Nigerian Scam
.
Haha, if base on this, I’m more richer than you Alan. Got 4 emails like this for this month.
I would agree with Alan that some people actually fall into this kind of trap no matter how obviouse it is. Personally, I have received an inquiry from senior manager of a bank asking my opinion on such scheme. According to the scheme, she will need to bank in some administration fees in thousands of USD and fly to Spain to do the paperwork. When she called me, she has already bought air ticket for her and her husband to go to spain. Fortunately, I was in time to warn her of the scam before she fell further.
It just shows that even the most educated and sophisticated people also fall for this scam. Always remember, if it is too good to be true, it might not be true at all.
Woman loses RM1.2mil to ‘British’ man through Internet
KUALA LUMPUR: A virtual friendship cost a 47-year-old housewife a very real RM1.2mil.
The con man she had befriended on the Internet did not just wipe out her savings but also that of her mother, sister, niece and her husband’s funds for investments.
The woman, who only wanted to be known as Madam Lee, said a man who claimed to be a British offshore engineer named Jeff Brian Manik had added her to his list of online friends last year.
Lee said the man told her that he was sending 10 gifts for Easter, including a designer wrist watch, perfume, a Louis Vuitton bag, jewellery, a laptop computer, a camera and his latest picture through a courier service in April.
“He asked me to pay RM16,500 as a deposit to claim those gifts, which I did by banking the money into two local bank accounts, but I did no see any gifts in the end,” she told a press conference held by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong yesterday.
She said she received an e-mail from a man said to be Manik’s agent about two weeks later who told her Manik wanted to invest in property in Malaysia and needed her help to handle his £2.3mil for the transaction.
“I was convinced after I met the agent at a hotel with a suitcase of pound sterling notes,” she said.
Lee said she deposited cash close to RM400,000 with various agents via various account names between April 20 and May 11 for the transfer of the money here.
She said she deposited RM586,000 into a company account on May 16 after she received a call from one of the agents that there was a 5% tax charge on the £2.5mil.On May 26, Lee said she paid another RM258,000 to the same company.
Lee said she felt something was amiss when she never received the gifts but she was convinced by the so-called agent about the so-called Manik’s interest in investing in Malaysia.
“I just wanted to help a friend but I did not expect it to turn out like this, I just want the money back to repay my family and friends,” she said, adding that she had never met Manik.
This week, she lodged a police report. Chong said he had received complaints from 18 women of a similar cheating scam with losses amounting to more than RM2.4mil since 2007.
“Please be wary of these con men,” he said. “Some of these women were not only cheated of their hearts but all their money, too.”
Chong said the British High Commission had received many complaints of such cases where a man with a British accent would befriend a woman through the Internet.

Man loses RM30,000 in Internet inheritance scam
By KHARLEEZ ZUBIN
WHEN technician Thomas Deva received an e-mail from an online chat friend in the United Kingdom informing him of a US$4.5mil inheritance, he chuckled.
Even though he thought the information read like a variation of the Nigerian e-mail scams prevalent in cyberspace, he was overtaken by greed.
For the next few weeks he laboured to raise money to pay for documentation and various “fees” to get the “inheritance” money which according to the friend was stuck at the Customs Department.
Throughout this time, Deva did not reveal his correspondence or his telephone conversations to his family or friends.
After paying some RM30,000 into a local bank account, Deva lost all contact with the “friend” who disconnected his phone number.
He summoned up enough courage to visit the Customs depot at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport with all the notary certified documents and receipts sent to him by his “friend.”
On being told that the certificates and documents were all fakes and realising that he had been duped, he turned to the Public Complaints Bureau under the Prime Minister’s Department.
“There is nothing much we can do to help such victims because the scammers are moving all the time and we do not have any leads to track down the foreigners who have been perpetrating such scams,” said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah.
Murugiah, who held a press conference at the MIC headquarters in Jalan Ipoh on Tuesday to highlight several similar cases, urged the public to be wary of such tempting offers.
“Who in their right mind would give away such huge sums of money to people who are practically strangers?” he said, adding that most Internet scams were perpetrated with the aid of locals.
He advised the public not to be gullible and contact his department if they received such offers over the Internet.
In Deva’s case, the scammer was known to the victim and even visited the latter in Malaysia. The scam was carried out over several months.
After the man returned to UK, he continued to keep in touch with Deva. After several months, the “friend” informed that his mother had died and left a few million dollars for him and Deva as she had grown fond of him after several telephone calls and exchanging e-mails.
Murugiah said the modus operandi of all six cases that came before him were the same.
He said the victims would be told to get the necessary documents to secure their package from the Customs and when they could not, the “friend” would inform them that someone from Customs would contact them to offer help in exchange for a payment of between RM30,000 and RM40,000 to be deposited into a local account.
He explained that as soon as the money was deposited, the culprits would disappear without a trace.
According to Murugiah’s office, the Customs Department receives reports of 60 to 100 cases monthly where victims call up with the fake documents asking for their “inheritance money.”
