I don't know if just co incidental but this email arrived in my inbox which was only ever used by the person who was a scammer. I think he passed my email details on.

From The Dask Of Mr Isa Bello.
Manager African Development Bank
54-56 Rue De Thomson,Ouagadougou.
Burkina faso.West Africa.
Tel:00226 78036241.

Confidential

Greetings Friend,

I am Mr. Isa Bello of The African Development Bank, Burkina faso. West Africa, I write to seek your consent to carry out a transaction that would be highly beneficial to you and me. I know you may be wondering why I am contacting you for this despite all the friends and relations that I have but I decided to do this with an unknown person to avoid any form of blackmail in the future.

MR. MORRIS THOMPSON was an account holder with my bank. I have been his account officer for 11 years before his death. He died during the World Trade Centre bombing in September 11 2001.

Since his death, the management of my bank has made series of efforts to locate his family but all efforts were proved abortive. I also carried out series of research to find his family but it was confirmed that the mother who was the only surviving member of the family died at the hearing of the son’s death. He was already divorced before his death and due to this fact; no one was able to claim the fund he deposited in my bank legally because there was no will to it. He had a secret dollar account with my bank worth the sum of $10,500,000.00 (Ten Million,five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with an interest agreement of 6.7% which have been for the past 9 years.

My purpose of contacting you now is this:

My bank during the last executive board meeting resolved that if by the end of this year and there is no beneficiary to the said account, the account will be confiscated and the fund sent to the bank treasury and this is where I am interested in and wants you to come in:

I want you to come in as the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to this account. I have all the titled documents to back your claim and as a Manager of this branch, it is in my power to carry out any form of verification on the beneficiary of the said fund and process the fund wire without any problem. I want you to know that this is legal and 100% risk free as all the titled documents would be changed to your name and the fund wired to any bank account you wish to have it wired to.

Please note that I am willing to let you have 40% of the total sum while you give me 60% when the fund finally gets to your nominated bank account. Also note that I am willing to go extra mile to make this a success because if anything goes wrong, then I stand the risk of losing my job and even go to jail for trying to carry out such transaction. This is why I am contacting you so that we can put heads together and take care of this transaction within now and the next 14 working days.

Kindly get back to me immediately so that I advice you on how this would be carried out.

email address mrisabello2001@gmail.com

Sincerely,

Mr.Isa Bello
African Develoment Bank (ADB)

This is indeed a scam. It is a textbook "advance fee fraud" - the scammer will tell you that you can get this huge amount of money, only you have to pay various fees before you can get it.

In the end, the only money that will change hands is yours, because the money the scammer is promising doesn't exist.

Your scammer may have shared your address, or he may have sent this scam himself. Many scammers run multiple types of scams at the same time-- for example, they may be using romance scams, advance fee, fake lotteries, and even check fraud scams on different people at the exact same time. They may also be using dozens of names and email addresses at once.


Note: I have deleted and locked duplicate topics so that all of the discussion remains in one thread.

They may also be using dozens of names and email addresses at once.
