FROM THE DESK OF Mr SALIF DIALO,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
{WEST AFRICA}


ATTENTION REQUIRED: DEAR FRIEND,

I Mr SALIF DIALO, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section 
in Bank of Africa ouagadougou-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect 
and regards I have decided to contact you on this business transaction that 
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During my investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across 
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer, a foriegner who 
died on November 11, 2001 in plane crash and, the fund has been dormant in 
his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody 
either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development. 
Actually, the late customer was a big merchant who trades on Gold, Diamond, 
Elephant tusks and crude oil from Africa to Asia and Europe and this money 
he deposites in our bank to pay for his purchases.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable 
the whole plans and idea be profitable and during the time of execution ( 
Two is secret). The amount involved is $14 Million usd (Fourteen Million 
united states dollars).Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and directives 
needed to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the 
deceased, will be forward to you upon your acceptance. Information will be 
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to 
assist me and also benefit your self to this great business 
opportunity.


In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this 
country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account 
and would eventually raise eye brow on my side during the time of transfer 
because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a 
second party or fellow from a foreign nation who will forward claims as the 
next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a 
foriegn account where he will need the money to be retransfered into on his 
request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to designated 
bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.  On 
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the 
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of 
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone bills 
etc, while 60% will be for me. Please,you have been advised to keep top 
secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I 
have concluded this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm 
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for 
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated 
and further investment, either in your country or any other country you may 
advise me to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you 
when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible 
stating your wish in this deal and asking any questions that are not cleared 
by you for a good follow-up.

Best regards,

Mr SALIF DIALO,

I sent the guy an email saying that I had found this very one page saying that his email was a scam. He replied with the following email. Notice that it is not the same account which explains why my own reply isn't included...

Dear  ALEXIS WILKE,
 
                                       
How are you today and your family, Hope you are all doing great?
This is to inform you tha i reciece your mail After going throug
h your mail today , i decided to make the wholepoints clear to
you in this mail .

As earlier advised , i am a staff of the same bank , where this
claim is (B O A.) Bank of Africa. I am in charge of making this
payment of claim to all applicants of next of kin at our bank
( B O A ) i am also among member of the board of payment committee .
 
Frankly speaking , i have been following up with the file of the
deceased (Mr Andrew Kim) for the past five years (5years )and have
seen that it is 100% possible for me to use my seat / office at
my place of work (B O A ) to claim this money through the cooperation
of a foreign partner since i cannot come out openly for the claim
because i am a staff of the same bank.
 
Actually , i have the possibility of filing your name as the next
of kin to the deceased as to enable the claim .This becomes 100%
possible since the deceased did not / failed to fill the space of
his next of kin with any name before and after his death , this
and more gives room for me to fill the space with your own name
as the next of kin to Mr Andrew Kim since we both have the same
interest /goal .
 
According to the bank payment code of 1970 , amended in 1997 ,
section 24 , paragraph 6 stated that any payment of claim which
is not concluded for a period of five years (5yrs ) , the total
amount will be called back into the bank reserve account as unclaimed
money and the beneficiary will automatically loose the money .
 
Since it is only remaining few months for this claim to end , i
don't want this huge amount to be called into the bank reserve
account as unclaimed money since i can divert the fund into your
account with the cooperation of both parties .
 
This is why i decided in contacting you immediately i came across
your e-mail address during the process of my navigation . l guarantee
you 100% risk free of this claim since the deceased died a long side
with all his immediate family leaving no one for the claim . this is
our life time opportunity .
 
In view of the above , it becomes very necessary that i corporate
with a foreign partner for the claim since i cannot come out openly
for the claim  and as the need be  i decided to contacting as to
explain my problem / need to you as to see if you will be willing
to come in as my partner for the claim before i receive your letter
of acceptance .Please don't be afraid , as a staffs of the same
bank i guarantee you that all arrangement for the smooth claim of
this money has been finalized locally here in Burkina Faso before
even contacting you .
 
Meanwhile , the best and only way you can work with me is to
follow all my instruction very carefully .
 
1. Bellow is the text of application form for all applicants of
claim of next of kin . you are advised to re-fill the application
ending with your name and signature , scan with scanning machine
into your computer and send it directly to the bank e-mail:
(boagbf_financier@exicte.com) boag@financier.com or by
fax 00 226 50 42 01 79
 
The bank on the receipt of your application of claim as the next
of kin to the deceased will forward you with the bank official
questionnaire , this official questionnaire contains all question
relating to the deceased (Mr Andrew Kim) this questions will be
drawn from his file which is with the bank ..
 
Immediately the bank forwards you with their official questions.
You should not fail to send the same questions to me as to enable
me pick out the correct answers from the deceased personal file
which is with the bank as this will enable you answer all the
questions very correctly since your ability to answer the bank
official questionnaire guarantees/ confirm you as the original
next of kin to the deceased.
 
Immediately we are able to answer all the bank questions very
correct the board of payment will forward you with an acceptance
letter , accepting your claim as the next of kin and immediately
you sign the originals of your fund release order form , payment
will be effected into any nominated bank account of our choice
(T/T transfer ) within 48hrs .
 
Please , i am very serious , i know it may sound like a joke to
you but it is real as a trial may convince you .it is a life time
opportunity that just called , i decided to trust you since the
need be and trust is the only root to any international business
and i believe you will not fail me .If you cannot come down to
the bank for the signing of the fund release order (froc), you
can do with the services of the bank resident financial attornies
who will represent you Immediately and after we Might have receive
this money , we are going to bring out all related documents of
claim so that there will be no trace of claim .
 
I have decided the sharing as following: -
1. 30% for you
2. 60% for me
3. 10% for any expenses of clearance that we are going to incur
   in the process of payment documentation clearance at the bank .
   this 10% will be shared according to each and every of our
   involvement with cash for the realization of the claim .
 
I want you to view the attachment file that come with this message
and see my valied working id card and me and my family pick for more
identification and i expect yours in returning of this mail.
 

 
Best Regard

So? How do I know that's a fake? Beside the fact that this is a total scam, this ID includes a black edge. That's really rare IDs with an edge. But let's assume that this is a real edge... look again, see what I mean?!? No? Well, I'll tell you: the scan is right on the edge! straight on! not even one pixel rotated left or right... I've done tons of scanning and even my best ones are not that straight.

Okay, a few things may be scans, such as the logo for the Bank of Africa... Well, look at the characters: perfectly straight too. The logo was built manually. Look at that black/green blob. There is a white edge around it. A scan of such a blob with a yellow background would never generate white like that.

Now, if you're still not convice, there is the signature. That's a scan. And he put the image on top which smashed the 65 on the date of birth.

Ha! The picture you will ask? Have you often seen a valid ID picture where people look on the right and you do not see the chin? Maybe they're poor in Africa, but they know how to take picture, trust me. A side picture would be to show the ear. Here we cannot see it correctly (you need to be at 45 degree). This is a computer taken picture of someone looking at the screen while taking the picture. Whether that's the actual bad guy, no idea. He may have been smart enough to search for some picture of some random black guy somewhere on the net...

Another laufing thingy: the department... it's written on two lines. funny, hey? a real ID card would certainly use lowercase and much smaller fonts anwyay. Also, look at the bottom, just in case, there is a sub-department specification: ho! by the way, it reads foreign remittace det. Debt remittance or remitance deputy? A deputy in a bank? Not too sure... anyway, the department line wasn't enough, hey?

Okay, just for the fun, I'm sending him another email... 8-)

Salif,

Is that really you on the picture?

I would think you should look older?!

How can I trust that it is you?

Thanks,
Alexis

And there is the answer. 8-) At first he's happy and says some good words and then he kind of become rude and says hey send me the info...

Okay, I will stop now because I have other things to do, but that was fun already. Hope you enjoy the silly dialog and the funky writing of this one guy. If someone can tell me what recourgnation means...

And the story continues! 8-) This is a "spontaneous" email from the same guy who now is in Paraguay. (well... you know...) And we have yet another email to contact him (james james!) As for the bold style, I'm not kidding, only my name was not in bold.

Dear Mr Alexis Wilke,
 
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds
transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from paraguay.
Presently i'm in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share
of the total sum. meanwhile,I didn't forget your past efforts and
attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it
failed us some how.
