Sain Musa

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

From The Desk Of Mr Sain Musa.
Group Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou Burkina Faso .

Dear Friend,
I am Mr Sain Musa Bill and exchange manager of foreign remittance department of B.O.A Bank Of Africa here in Burkina Faso Ouagadougou .In my department I discovered an abandant sum of $11.5M(Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family on 31 july 2000 in a plane crash. You can confirm the genuiness of the deceased death by clicking on this web site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and for our bank to release the money to you. You have to follow the instruction which I will send to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into our bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinab, cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 40% of the total sum. 10% for contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of transaction, while the remaining 50% is for me.

I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to you as the next of kin . Therefore before we can proceed further, i want you to send to me your details to enable me know whom i am dealing with also know your capability towards this transaction.

FULL NAME :
HOME ADDRESS:
YOUR PICTURE PHOTOGRAPH
MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER:
OCCUPATION:
YOUR AGE:
NATIONALITY:

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr Sain Musa.

NB, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS YOUR TOP SECRECT AND MAKE IT CONFIDENTIAL TILL WE RECEIVES THE FUND INTO THE ACCOUNT THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE TO THE BANK. DONT DISCLOSE IT TO ANY BODY "PLEASE", BECAUSE THE SECRECY OF THIS TRANSACTION IS AS WELL AS THE SUCCESS OF IT.

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.
