AUDITING/ACCOUNTING SECTION OF THE BANK OF AFRICA (BOA), OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA, FASO. The amount was $18.5 MILLION US DOLLARS. THIS MONEY WAS OWNED BY ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS IN OUR BANK.THE MAN'S NAME IS CALLED ANDREAS SCHRANNER FROM MUNICH, GERMANY. HE WAS INTO PROPERTIES AS HIS BUSINESS IN GERMANYAND BUSINESS COMMERCIALIST IN WEST-AFRICAN REGIONS. HE HAS BEEN DEAD SINCE SIX YEARS AGO ON 25TH JULY, 2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] WITH THE WHOLE PASSENGERS ABOARD.
He asked for my details and a scanned copy of my passport. I almost submitted my details but then I decided to look up for info on the net.

Well I think you know by now that it's a scam. It's a form of 419 Advance Fee Fraud (as it is called). You can find out more about this sort of crime here:

These people fight the fraudsters in their own way. Do not try to do it yourself. These fraudsters are clever and dangerous. (But the website is VERY VERY funny!) |

Hi There, this is a scam and has been widely reported as such in the press and media. You should notify your Internet / Email service provider and report this to the Police. This is the standard advice given in northern Ireland. Scams like this end up in Fraud and Identity Theft. Also, do not pass this scam email on to anyone else. Others have left you web references which should also prove useful. Never reply to unsolicited emails with bank or other personal information - for your own protection. Hope this helps. Seanf |

Biggest scam on the Internet. Everybody has been getting this. It frightens me that some people can even have any doubt about it being a scam. |

It is a SCAM.
The give away in these 'Nigerian Scams' is the poor quality of English. I have received a number of these from people in Nigeria who claim to be 'lawyers'. Well if they are, their command of English is too low and since English is used in legal circles all over the Commonwealth....what, the, etc.
You could also go to Data Wales and let them see what you've got. Their site deals with most of this sort of stuff. |
