Patrick Brown

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

Hello,

My name is Mr.Patrick Brown, manager of a financial institution here in Accra - Ghana .I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of $7,550.000 U.S Dollars. I am 42 years old and married with 2 kids.

This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the 2006 financial year. I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here in Accra and have watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess.

I have since, placed this amount of $10,550.000 U.S Dollars on an Escrow Coded account without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account on my behalf for both of us to share 30% for you and 70% for me.

I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate a return email.

Regards,
Mr.Patrick Nana lamtay

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
