Lovely Spam, Wonderful Spam

I recently received two emails.  The first was a pleasant surprise, concerning a slightly unorthodox dealing with an intestate estate:

“Please accept my apology.  I am a personal account manager to one of our foreign late customer.  It is my interest to contact you in respect of this our client who opened a draft account in my bank.  It is with good spirit of heart I opened up this great opportunity to you….After his untimely demise, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address, but got no reply.  He died without making any WILL. His draft account opened in my bank before his unfortunate death is Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred and Twenty Six Thousand Two Hundred Dollars only.  I want to present you as the beneficiary of the deceased.  I will use my position and influence in our bank to make sure they release this money to you for our mutual sharing.  If I wait for days and did not hear from you, I shall look for another person.  Kindly get back to me for more details.”      [sic erat scriptum]

(Italian Wikipedia)

Another email excited us, with details about the suitcase stuffed with cash:

“Today we have discovered an abandoned metal suitcase with reg code#___________…This suitcase is a metal box when scanned by a forensic scanner was revealed to contain 100 dollars bills valued $2,316,000USD (Two Million, Three Hundred and Sixteen thousand United States dollars) which has been under Security survaell ance for a number of days now….Note, The Funds which belongs to you was initially scheduled for delivery to your residense, The Diplomat who arrived with the Consignment made several attempts to reach you all efforts proved abortive so he decided to leave for his country but before he left he settled the delivery charges and left the Storage Keeping Charges unpaid due to the reasons that he did not know when you will attempt to claim the consignment….You are therefore advised to make contact with….(etc)….God Bless The United States of America.”      [sic erat scriptum]

TVC has rarely encountered such helpful and generous bank staff, diplomats or customs officials.  However, we freely offer this advice to Planet Spam: Learn how to write English coherently (perhaps skim this website!) and then use your newly acquired skills for global improvement rather than global fraud.

By the way, I have been treated to more email spam (printed as written). There was an invitation to join a lucrative partnership investment:

Hello, Friend

My name is Dr Richard Fox, I am working with the Dana Petroleum Plc, with my colleague. We are looking for a prospective business partner in your country, with good investment project plans (Eg Real Estate, Construction, Engineering, Energy, Trading or any other lucrative business ventures). This has relatively made us very busy as we are supervising the oil field contracts, and also supervising some of the oil exploration contracts at the North Sea. In the events of these, we got involved in a crude oil supply deal which promised huge returns, and you are Invited to an Investment in partnership with US worth of Mutual Interest of  $57Million US Dollars. We need to know if you will be able to handle a business transaction involving such huge amount of funds, after which we will go into details to explain the simple details of realizing the objectives without delay. We await for your immediate response as soon as you confirm this mail.

And the encouragement to cop some portion of a big compensation payout (for what, we don’t know):

Attention:

I am Mrs. Marina Luda, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in Florida USA.My residential address is as follows, 7008 E Hwy 326 Silver Springs FLorida 34488 United States,am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $85,000 while in the US,trying to get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel to Washington with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director to contact Barrister Tony Gani, who is a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a member of the Compensation Award Committee, currently in Nigeria and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $10.5 Million US Dollars,Moreover,Barrister Tony Gani showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the list he showed me, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Tony Gani. Kinldy send your personal details to him to prove your identification.

It was moving to receive this kind word from the Nelson Mandela Fundraising Organization:

Dear Sir/Madam,

First I will like you to know that these funds can be transferred to your bank account only if you will work with me in truth and honesty.

I am MS ROSEMARY SCHWATZ , the director of the NELSON MANDELA FUNDRAISING ORGANIZATION. This organization personally belongs to MR. NELSON MANDELA Unfortunately Mr. Nelson Mandela passed away recently leaving me in control of the charity organization and all the funds raised under this organization. You can view the link to read about Nelson Mandela’s death.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/05/world/africa/nelson-mandela/. After the death of Mr. Mandela, the government of South Africa is trying to probe into the funds that were raised for the organization through instigation of one of Nelson Mandela grand son Mandla who is currently a member of the parliament and who has requested for the organization to declare the funds to the Mandela family. I know their move and aim is to get hold of the organization funds and then dissolve the management just for their selfish interests.

The total fund is US$ 25, 000.000.00 {TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS}. Five Million was a Cash donation made to the organization by one of Nelson Mandela close associate and this money was deposited separately in a security trunk box with the bank. I am the only one in control of these funds at the moment and I have contacted you to request if you can be able to work with me so we can move $5,000.000.00 { FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS } of the total amount to your account in your country before releasing the rest to the Mandela family. I have made plans with the auditor who handles our ledger book and he is standing by to work with me to achieve this deal.

Please note that there is no danger involved in this deal and I can guarantee you that the funds will be transferred to your bank account without any problem but the only thing I demand from you is your honesty. I truly understand that there are lots of things going on over the internet, some dishonest individuals uses the internet to do some illegal things but please don’t take this email as one of those because I can assure you that everything you have read on this email is 100% truth and you will see more proves as we proceed.

Also note that this deal has to be kept highly confidential to avoid leakage of information to the Mandela family. If you are not comfortable with this deal, be kind enough to delete this message and keep all you have read to yourself alone but if you are interested please send me an email and I will respond back to you with more details of how the funds will be transferred to your bank account. After successful transfer of funds to your account, We shall share 50 percent to you and 50 percent will be for me and remember I will be taking care of the auditor from my side.

Thank for your time.

Regards, ROSEMARY SCHWATZ

We did consider this proposition interesting but even with heavy investments in wine and art, we just wouldn’t know what to do with all that cash:

My Consultation: I am a Certified Financial Advisor (CFA) resident in the Republic of Ghana. Per my client’s mandate, I am seeking your consent to stand as my client’s Foreign Partner that has the full capacity to receive the sum of US$82million and thereafter to invest 65% of the US$82million on behalf of my client in accordance to our agreed terms and conditions.  I therefore write with due respect on the above subject matter for your consideration and approval. Nevertheless, your Commission will be 35% of the US$82million should you consider this proposition interesting.

We do like comments on our site, although we reserve the right to edit.  But how do you edit this:

‘It is the best time to make a few plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve learn this publish and if I may I wish to recommend you few fascinating issues or suggestions. Perhaps you could write next articles relating to this article. I want to read more issues approximately it!‘

In April 2016, we received this unsolicited message (below).  We are glad that Katia found our email address so very convenient.  We can’t recall asking for pictures of Katia and we certainly would prefer not to open any attachments she might send us.  But through this post, I can assure Katia that we don’t want any intimate ‘pics’, we are not looking for friendship, and though we too like travelling, we would rather not meet Katia in any Australian city.  We expect ‘Katia’ is an entrepreneurial fellow from Nigeria or lower Moldova, and we can take him or leave him, as we please…

“Hi, how are you?

Sorry, it took me so long to reply your message but I am not often on meetic. I have cancelled my profile. But anyway thanks for your email address, it’s very convenient for me.

I attach my pics to this mail, if you need more, I will send more. But please, don’t ask for nude or lingerie pics. I don’t do them. I am sure, you like my pics because I am pretty cute. As for the character, I am very friendly. I am looking for friendship and I will be very glad to meet you in person in any Australian city. I like travelling.

I need to go to work now but I promise to write you more next time.

What is your name? You didn’t sign you message 🙂 In what city to you live? Will you send me your pics?

I will be waiting for your reply!

Katia”

We were amazed to get this heaven-sent and worthy opportunity from George P. Kickliter (Capt.) and would never dream of ‘letting him down in this business,’ but would it be wrong? –

My Dear,

I am a captain commanding 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment with the United States and Britain Coalition Force in Afghanistan on war against terrorism. Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, i have decided to quit the marine and relocate to your country that’s why I need to invest on it now.

I want you to help me and buy property for my family and as well invest on real estate in your country and that is why I contacted you. On the other hand I want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of $16.2million (US Dollars) which was recovered from one of our raids on terrorists here in Afghanistan because they keep most of their money at home for evil activities which they normally get through illegal deals on crude oil. Based on the suffering we undergo here some of us do meet such luck. It happened that I went for this raid with the men in my unit and I decided to take it as my share for my stress here in this evil land filled with suicide bombers. I deposited this money with a Red Cross agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money. It is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for this money.

I wish to use this money on real estate/lands and property investment in your country because i know a lot of money is involved in it, that was the more reason I decided to resign and come over to your country once I move this money out of here through diplomatic courier service which is the safest means,i don’t want to die fighting terrorist all my life.

I cannot move this money to the United states because I will be outside the country for about 8years,so I need someone I could deal with. If you accept, I will transfer the money to where you will be the beneficiary because I am a uniformed person and I cannot be parading such an amount so I need to present someone as the beneficiary. I am an intelligence officer for that so i have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through a diplomatic courier service. I just need your acceptance and all is done.

Please if you are interested in this transaction I will give to you the complete details you need for us to carry out this transaction successfully. I decided to find someone that is real and not imaginary and that is why i went to a secured site where I can be sure that the person is real. Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities which are secured so nobody can monitor our discussions, then I can explain in details to you. I will only reach you through emails, because our calls might be monitored, I just have to be sure whom I am dealing with.

Also, I want you to know that am revealing this deal to you with belief that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this deal, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you on the next step to take urgently. If you are interested please reply me immediately so I can contact you for further inquiries. I am writing from a fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this email and please delete this message, if no response after 3days i will then search for someone else. I am doing this on trust, you should understand and you should know that as a trained military expert I will always play safe in case you are the bad type, but I pray you are not. $16.2million is a lot of money which is the dream of anyone.

I wait for your contact details so we can go on. In less than 7days the money should have been noted on your care and I will come over for my money. I will give to you 30% of the sum and 70% is for me. I hope I am being fair on this deal.

I wait to hear back from you.

Capt.George P Kickliter

(We were a trifle offended by the familiarity – “My Dear” as we couldn’t recall meeting the Captain, but let that pass – here was an opportunity no sane person could let pass.

In February 2019, we were delighted to receive this note:

B/G

Antonio Román

CFO & Executive Director

Santander Bank UK

13.02.2019

We were uncertain as to what aspect of our profile made Mr Román to contact us, but we were sure of the loftiness of his venture…

And we were chuffed to get this delightful and intriguing note the other day:

Hello Dear,

We didn’t hear further, despite our enthusiastic responses, for which we suspect the Coronavirus is to blame.  But then, wonder of wonders, we received this:

“Good Day!

My name is Andrea Mbongo, I am a confidante of former president of DRC Congo, and before we left office and hand over to the current government in DRC Congo we moved 900 kilos of raw gold to Ghana and Ninety five million United State Dollar in secured place in Istanbul Turkey, Now we are looking for a capable person that can invest the fund and the gold in a profitable business with good annual return on the investment. Please note that this transaction is strictly confidential and would be keep as so between the representative of the owner of the fund and any interested person.

I will give you more details as soon as I hear from you.

Kind Regards,
Andrea Mbongo”

We note that the price of gold id plummeting, so decided to pass on this.  We are already expecting rivers of cash in our bank account anyway.

Our sporting instincts were stirred by this we received on 19/1/2021:

Dear Sir,

I’m one of the registered and authorized International
procurement consultants of the Qatar 2022 FIFA world cup.

The government of Qatar through the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup
Local Organizing Committee has approved a massive procurement of
your company products for nationwide distribution to Airports
facilities, offices, stadiums, Hostels, Hotels, Shops, etc as

Best Regards.
Mr. Mustafa Amer Ismail
Doha – Qatar.

Greetings to you from Ukraine. My name is Volodymyr Bondarenko, and I was the last administrator in Kyiv, Ukraine. I lost my brother in this war and it is my responsibility to take care of his only daughter which is 9 years old. I intend for her to live outside the country and I would be glad if you can adopt her. My brother left ten million dollars behind for her education and upkeeps. If you think you can take this responsibility kindly get back to me, as the money will be placed under your care then you can complete the adoption. Because at this stage nobody can guarantee survival in the war.

I will be glad if you can carry out this small assignment as I intend a peaceful life for her. If you agree to this I will give you details of the inheritance claims and start the process. I have no other choice at this stage rather than to trust you, and I believe I can count on you as we are grateful for all the support the world has given to Ukraine for the past few months.

Thank you so much I will check my email daily for your communication as that’s the only means I can reach out to the outside world right now.

Regards
Volodymyr Bondarenko”

We suspect that the “ten million dollars” was from Joe Biden, on a loop from Burisma, Hunter Biden, and Sam Bankman-Fried, but in any case, we find ourselves unable to “carry out this small assignment.”
