I do not yet have this scammer's opening format, but here is a selection of what I have at the moment.
The scammer starts by saying there is an ammount of gold in consignment boxes, that he needs your help getting out of the country and then investing. Sometimes this is claimed to be part of an inheritance, sometimes it is money put aside during prosperous times before political upheaval - either way it will cost you money and you are promissed a non-existent reward for "helping" him.
So, there's a hitch, and he needs more money before anything can be done.
And true to the patern of Advance Fee Fraud, there is another delay, this time caused by Western Union, so he wants you to send the money again, before the first payment has been returned. (It never will be)

Hello Mr.Xxxxx, Compliments of the season to you and your entire household, i hope that you are doing very good
It's been quite unfortunate we've not been in touch recently in regards to the pending the delivery of your consignment boxes
What actually happened was that, the Taiwanese government requested that International Asia Receivers Permit must be provided in your name, so when i made enquiry on what it would cost, i was surprise it's roughly 5,070 dollars. When i told my friend about, he said we have to wait until the New Year before he will be able to assist us financially, although he's very much aware we are going to repay him as soon as the consignment boxes are successfully delivered
So i want you to be patient a little while, i will keep you inform. Have a nice day..

My Dear Brother,
I was giving the official mandate to make the delivery of your consignment boxes by the United Nations Secretary General (Ban Ki-Moon), having completed a series of proper investigation over your legitimacy and authentication, it was thus confirmed that you were the legal owner and such the boxes should be delivered to you without any sought of delay.
I have been able to verify with the Taiwanese government and i was told that all that's required to make a successful delivery to you without any problem from the Customs, Immigration, Tax Office, Ministries, Government, IMF, Interpol etc is to obtain the mentioned certificates below:
1) INTERNATIONAL ASIA RECEIVERS PERMIT CERTIFICATE (5,070usd)
2) INTERNATIONAL VALUE ADDED TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE (7,400usd)
As soon as the certificate are procured on your names, i shall proceed with immediate effect of the delivery of your boxes without any further delay.
I have spoken to my friend but he asked me to be very patient with him because he has some projects at hand now, but he has assured me that he's going to do his best to help you pay for the certificates so i can have the finalization step of your long awaited delivery taken in accordance.
I am presently in Hong Kong waiting, i will inform you to know as soon as i get the confirmation from my friend that he has deposited the money (12,470usd) into your account

Hello My Dear Brother,
I have been disturbed with the circumstances sorrounding the money which have been confirmed you did sent, according to the information reaching me, the money has been pulled out of the Western Union but not payed out to the receivers (EDEVBIE ALEXANDER & NICHOLAS SENU).
All you have to do now is to file a direct complain through the Western Union and with the assistance of your friend who's the Manager to the Bank over there in Ghana requesting a revert of the total sum ($5,840 + $5,840 + $8,700) from the specific Bank in Ghana that may have with-held the said sum.
It is very assuredly possible that the money would be refunded to you since it has not been release to your receivers, you'll have effect the payment directly via Bank to Bank to the respective cordinates of the IMF once the money have been successfully refunded so we can proceed. I have already explain to my friend to be patient about the situation.
You don't need to contact Western Union office in SHANGHAI, just call your friend who's the manager at the western union and explain to him you want them to ask the precise BANK in Ghana where the money has be with-held to revert back to you in Taipei so you can resend.
