My name is Richard Van Walt a gold merchant from Ireland

In this scam the scammer will begin by telling you that you wont have to send any money

note that I will not ask you for your money

he will then describe the job he has for you

The role I want you to play is to be a financial agent

Here is where the scam comes in

help me transfer funds from my bank account

The bank account he uses will not be his but a compromised bank account of another victim

The scammer knows there needs to be something in this for his victim so he will tell you about your share

pay you 20% of every amount of money you transfer

For your first assignment he will give you $40,700 and of that you will keep $8,140

I want you to transfer $40,700 to a bank account in China. Your pay will be $8,140

It sounds too good to be true and that is for a very good reason, this scam will leave you owing the bank over $30,000 when they find that the money illegally made it's way in your account.

If you receive an email like this, please do not reply, it is a scam that will leave you not only finnancially much worse off but also in trouble with the law.

Hello,

I present you with this business opportunity to participate and note that
I will not ask you for your money to invest in this business with me. All
monies for this business investment will be provided by me.

My name is Richard Van Walt a gold merchant from Ireland. I have been into
the trading of gold and diamonds from Asian and European countries for the
most part of my life. For the past year I have not been able to do
business, as I was involved in a legal battle with the Irish government
that had the Irish government froze my accounts in the UK and Switzerland.
At present I cannot leave the country as my international passport has
been ceased. I am in a state of disarray but I have faith that I can still
do some international business.

I currently have cash in the sum of $755,000 with a bank in the USA. This
amount of money is my only hope to build back my gold business. I cannot
access this bank account from here in Ireland without causing trouble for
myself as the Irish government will find out I still keep foreign accounts
without their knowledge.

I am contacting you with a kind spirit to enable us work together in some
gold deals I would be partaking in. The role I want you to play is to be a
financial agent for the gold deals I will be arranging. As a financial
agent you will help me transfer funds from my bank account in the USA to
bank accounts of my various buyers I will be providing you. I am willing
to pay you 20% of every amount of money you transfer for me. Please note
that I will provide all funds for the gold transactions. For the first
deal, which can be concluded in the next 5 days, I want you to transfer
$40,700 to a bank account in China. Your pay will be $8,140 on that deal
(that's 20% of $40,700). I am willing to close enough deals involving huge
amounts of money and I will be starting with small deals.

I actually make enough profits in my gold deals because I buy from very
cheap sources (far below prices in the gold market) round the globe and I
will be willing to share with you upon negotiation. My connections for
delivery and sales are very strong. It will be very nice working with me
as we will be into making big money from my gold deals.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me via email for more
details so we can progress.


Regards,
Richard Van Walt.
