Fraud.

One out of five!

Good Day Sir,

Greetings, I am Ben Moniba, and the only surviving son of late Mr Joseph Moniba who traded in gold and diamond before his assassination during the Sierra Leone civil war, my Father , mother, and two brothers were assassinated and burnt beyond recognition by rebels after looting cash, diamonds and gold from my family but somehow spared my life.

Before contacting you, i have seek the advice of few people around me in the refugee camp without letting them know my plan. I was told that even if i send this email to you, you will not believe because of too much scam and other ways of deceiving people.

Please understand that this email is not to let you give me money but for you to help me in what i feel belongs to me, Please don't be confused or have doubt about me and don't see me as bad person because I am not.

I am contacting you in respect of the sum of $8,5MUSD deposited by my late father in a security company before he died the money is part of the money he realized from the sales of diamonds and gold by him.

I got your contact from the Ghana chambers of commerce business executives directory and having been convinced that you are capable of handling a transaction of this magnitude, I decided to entrust you with this great task, My father told me about this deposit with this security company in Ghana before he died, and when i came to Ghana after his death i found the security company and I confirmed that the box containing $8.5MUSD was still in their safe custody.

Due to my refugee status am not qualified to claim the deposit hence I have solicited for your help.

Note that my late father deposited the money with the security company as family treasures for safe keeping so the security company is unaware that the actual content is cash . What I require of you to do for me now is your agreeing that I assign you as the new beneficiary ( With utmost HONESTY assuring me that you will not betray me when the box is handed over to you in your country.) by issuing you a power of attorney and making a change of ownership which will authorize you to contact the security company and inform them of your desire to retrieve the deposited consignment to be shipped to you in your country. I agree to give you 40% of the $8,5MUSD Please treat this matter from utmost confidentiality.

Best Regards,

Ben Moniba.

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.
