Preface

I receive e-mails of this kind for years. That's why I've determined to warn the mankind against this fraud. Of course, it would be fantastic, if these alleged money source would be true. Then I should belong to the 10 richest men of the world and I shouldn't have to make hard my living by my marriage agency. Since 1998 letters were sent worldwide √ first as fax, in the middle of 90s as e-mail, in which big sums were promised to the receivers, if they would help african businessmen to remove the huge dollar sums out of the country. Periodic it concerns several million dollars and also the million share, which should fall to the receiver. Of course, it is about fraud here, exacter about minor job offer ( in the small ads part of the newspapers), which are well known in Germany as '' Advanced Fee Fraud '' and are called '' 419 '' in accordance with an article in the nigerian code of law, too.

The stories, told in these e-mails, are so fantastic, it should be conspicuous for each rational person immediately, that there is something fishy about it. However, the greediness of some people seems to abandon the mind. So the magazine Spiegel reports, that a west german city chamber official should have tried to fill up the city cash desk with the millions from Nigeria.

If somebody responds to these e-mails, then at one of the next steps a '' small fee '' is asked for, for example, for money transfers, lawer's fees, taxes or bribe money. This can be quite several thousand dollars. If he or she pay it, then it's usually good and the frauded hears never something about it. However, some people let persuade them to a meeting in Nigeria or in another african country. The newspaper Berliner Zeitung reports on car dealer, who was abducted and got free again only for payment of a big ransom.

As said, the stories are fantastic. Already a long time they are aren't limited to Nigeria, although the authors come mostly from Nigeria. Other african crisis areas are suitable as well, in order to tell fairytales about oil millions, dictators' widows, vanished bribe money, e.t.c. Therefore I collect the mails and make it known on my website WARNING. They are peculiar pieces of subculture and I can't translate some of them, they are as good invented yarn. However, they shouldn't be taken seriously. Nobody hasn't seen yet the promised millions.

Another trick - lottery winnings. It begins with an email ( lately letters too - example e-mail 49 e-mail 50 e-mail 113 e-mail 114 e-mail 115 e-mail 138 e-mail 167 e-mail 168 ) claiming the recipient has won a lottery. They are to contact a claims agent to collect their winnings, usually at a free email address. The unsuspecting consumer contacts the claims agent who sends a claim form to verify their identity. They must return the form with their personal details along with copies of their passport and driver▓s license to ⌠verify their true identity.■ This is where the scam begins. The fraudsters now have enough information to duplicate the consumer▓s identity. The responding consumer receives an email with three options of how to collect their winnings. They can have the money wired to their bank account, they can open an account with a specified bank (bogus), or they can pick up their winnings personally (normally from Amsterdam). Most people want their winnings transferred into their bank account. This involves upfront fees for taxes, insurance or even legal fees. Victims transfer money as requested via Western Union. If they do not want to pay upfront fees, they can open an online account with a specified bank, who's policy requires a deposit of around US$3,000. This bank is fake. Alternatively, victims are able to pick up their money personally by travelling to Amsterdam, where they are required to pay a release fee in cash, and receive their winnings in counterfeit currency. WARNUNG / WARNING strongly advises against any communications with fraudsters who run these scams. Do not respond at all. If you already have, cease all communication immediately. If you have given personal details: These fraudsters are after enough information to commit identity theft. They will request information such as personal contact details, address, workplace, and next of kin details. They will also request copies of passports and drivers licenses. When they have all this information, they are then able to commit Identity Theft using all the personal information obtained. If they only have your email address and telephone number, then you are not at risk. If you have provided a majority of the above information, then you are at risk of becoming a victim of Identity Theft. If you have lost money: If you have already given money to these fraudsters for any variety of reasons, unfortunately, there is not much chance of recovery. Once the fraudsters have your cash, even if they are caught and prosecuted, your money is gone.

If you'd like to write me your experiences, then I publish them with pleasure.
