Advance Fee Frauds and Email Scams
Peter Sean West of Senegal (2007)
This is one message from a collection of email scams. We aren’t the source of these messages and we don’t send them! We collect the ones we receive and document them here for the benefit of others. (How do advance fee frauds work?)
If you have 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.

subject Get Back To Me
Hello Friend,
This mail correspondence may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not met,i know that this is an unlikely platform to start this kind of relationship but i am constrained by the present situation of my family and i request you to permit me use this medium to introduce myself. I am a liberian and was the personal aide on domestic affairs to our former president,Mr.Charles Taylor.
I am currently in Dakar,Senegal and would need your co-operation in moving out some funds from here for investments in your country. For your help,i will be happy to share the funds with you according to an agreed percentage. Please indicate your interest in working with me so that i can give you full details.
If i do not hear from you in 7 days, i shall consider it that you are not favourably disposed to accept my offer.
Thanks,
Peter Sean West
