    Calvary Greetings,

    I am Mr.Don Brown Audit Manager Bank of Africa Benin. in the capital
    city of cotonou Benin republic, and assittance, This is a very
    confidential proposition for you.

    On April 21st 1999, A Swedish Oil consultant/contractor with the
    Benenoise Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Soren Andersson made a numbered time
    (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$8,000,000.00
    (Eight Million Dollars only)in my branch.

    Upon maturity on November 20th 2003 as his Credit Officer, I sent a
    routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a
    month, we sent a reminder and finally i discovered from his contract
    employers, the Benenoise Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.Soren Anderson
    died on auto accident with his entire family.

    Further investigations,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
    fruitless. Again,I made further investigation and discovered that
    Mr.Soren Andersson did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
    documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.

    This sum of US$8,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank No one will
    ever come forward to claim it.According to the International Banking
    ethics,codesand Laws, at the expiration of 7(Two) years, the money will
    revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody applies to claim
    the fund.

    Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
    stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Soren. This is simple, I will like you
    to respond immediately with your full names and address so that we will
    prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in
    place as the next of kin.

    The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
    of 70% for me and some of my colleagues who are aware of this
    transaction and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the
    transaction There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
    transaction will be done by my colleagues and with my position as the Foreign
    Remmitance Director guarantees the successful execution of this
    transaction.

    Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
    relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please
    send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
    communication. You should observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that
    this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
    shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

    Awaiting your urgent reply.

    Remain Bless.

  7. Be aware this same fraud program is being routed through “snail-mail” as well. A good friend in California received a sincere looking notification and check for a “3rd-catagory-prize” with information on how to contact the parties dispersing the check. Apparently they want her to cash the check then wire money to two different individuals as a payment for taxes. Be aware these people are going “Low-Tech” again in hopes of stealing your money. If she did this, she would have been guilty of wire-fraud.

  23. Hi ,
    I recieved a similar mail from “Irish Lottery” and they asked me to contact a courier company
    by the name “ICC Company ” . When I asked for
    a scanned copy of my “winning cheque” , they
    sent it ! The cheque was from Lloyds Bank plc,
    and the “dispatch officer” wrote that he worked all life for this company and he can guarantee that the cheque is genuine.

    The “courier company” also gave
    their bank account details and asked to
    deposit $1275 towards “courier fee” into that
    account via wire transfer.
    It appears to be a scam.
    Do you think it is real ?

  24. I recieved this the email today 10/7/06″WINNING NOTIFICATION” .How come this bullshit is still
    going around why hasn’t it been shutdown.

  25. I was a victim also. It sounded too good to be true but I continued to follow instructions up to the point, as another writer state, that I requested that the remove the fees from MY winnings. There was a PLC site and everything. SEE BELOW

    It’s got to be a scam

  26. Hi everyone, I am from Bulgaria and I recently received this message from EU International games with the flag and part of the logo of the European Union stolen from its website, I suppose.

    Here is what I wrote to them after they asked me to pay transfer taxes:

    “The UK has no Constitution, what a ridiculous way to explain the need to pay transfer taxes in advance.

    Now I know what all the fraud consists in, and
    I can tell you that no one is so stupid as to believe the story. So, sorry, but I’m not to give you any money 🙁

    Internet may be sometimes harmful, but it sometimes helps people realize we can help us mutually https://www.gabrielserafini.com/archives/2004/11/08/cool-i-won-the-british-lottery
