Advance Fee Frauds and Email Scams
MRS. ABUBAKAR H. MARIAM (2005)
This is one message from a collection of email scams. We don’t send these messages! We just collect the ones we receive and document them here for the benefit of others; we are not able to respond to inquiries about them. These are often called “Nigerian” advance fee frauds or “419 scams,” although they now originate from all over the world. There is information available elsewhere on the web that will help you filter spam and protect yourself against fraud.
If you have already been victimized by an email scam like the one shown below you may wish to contact a lawyer or postal inspector in your state or country.

My Dear Friend,
I saw your email contact as i was searching for someone to help me
carry out an urgent business proposal, If you have an expressed
interest in helping me out, securing the sum $4.9m and I will also
want to buy properties and stocks in multy-national companies and to
engage in other safe and non speculative investments into your
custody for safe keeping, pending my arrival in your country. To be
sincere and honest with you, this money is never connected with drugs,
money laundry, firearms and looting, which I believe might make you
skeptical and consequently withdrawing your help for security
reasons. I would like to recieve your contact details so that we can
discuss business.
It is profit oriented and 100% risk free, I wait to hear from you and
if your not interested kindly let me know so that i can search for
someone else.
Thanks,
MRS. ABUBAKAR H. MARIAM
