Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

This is a refugee scam, where the scammer wants you to believe it's about refugees who had to take shelter at a refugee camp or asylum because their lives are in danger. There's always a relative, business partner, or government officials that are after the family fortune. But there is no fortune, the only purpose this scammer has is to make you pay for made up fees to release the money / trunkbox or consignment box. Don't fall for this scam!

Dearest one,

We need your help, I know you will be surprised to receive this mail, my names are Miss Elsie Martins Old the Daughter of Late Martin Olds who died as a result of the revolt and campaign of calamity visited on white farmers in Zimbabwe.

This is because of his upright stand that the Government forcefully took over of farms from the investors all in the name of land reforms was absurd and inhuman, he was viewed as an enemy and eventually murdered.

Ever since then, my Brother Alfred Martins Olds and i has been in Zambia on asylum because of the Government in Zimbabwe has been hunting us. Before my Father's death, he had deposited the sum of Twelve million American dollars with a security company in Ghana with the sole aim of acquiring some dredging equipments in setting up of a dredging firm with his partner.

With his death and all his assets seized at home and accounts frozen, the family is now in a very difficult situation.

See more of the story at the site below:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/719578.stm

Based on that, we are soliciting your assistance to help us to receive this consignment as our family trustee. The amount involve is Twelve Million United States dollars ($12Million).

This consignment was moved to the United States to be claimed by my Fathers partner alone and it got to our notice through the director of the security company that the consignment has been moved to the United States by the request of my late father's partner.

We cannot trust my father's partner because since the death of my father he never cared for us even my sick sister, only interested in our money and for you to believe he wanted the money to himself, he did not inform us that he was taking the consignment to the United States.

This is the situation we find ourselves and that is why we have contacted you to help us stand as our family trustee to claim this consignment over there in your country and help us to come over there and start a new life.

I want to invest these funds in buying and selling of landed properties, house or any other lucrative business

I came to Ghana after we got the news from the director of the company. Now, we have stopped the release of the consignment to him. The consignment is still in Ghana and we want a trustworthy person to help us receive our consignment and we are ready to compensate you with part of the money for your help as we are in a very tight situation.

Again, the mining land that was bought by my father here in Accra Ghana long ago before he died is about to be claimed by this partner without our notice, but we have all the documents with us so we have also stooped his intention,

We want to put the land on sale but locating a good buyer is now a problem, also in the security company over here, deposited by my late father are precious items worth of Gold 240kg, and Diamond that is still here in a security Company in Ghana, So we shall need your assistance to continue with life after we must have retrieved all that we have.

But i want to let you know that we will make some expenses in this Transaction, which is among the reasons we need your assistance, but at the end of the transaction when you must have received our consignment, all expenses made will be taking care off.

I have all the documents of claim and deposit with me. i also have the name and full contact of the security company in Ghana.

I will be glad if you respond to this call soonest.

Regards,

Miss Elsie and Alfred Martins Olds
