Hello Anthony,
I just got an email from one of our Adlandpro members about this same thing and wanted me to help her spread the word about a Lottery scam.
Here is what had happened:
From Giovanna Romano: WARNING.. PLEASE READ AND HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD!!
Date: 8/22/2005
Hi.. I am writing to you because very recently a friend of mine was robbed of $ 50,000 all because of a personal deal offered through a similiar letter like the one below.. Please note that these are fraud letters.. I receive one almost everyday.. The Canadian RCMP have told her that they are in no way able to help her at this time.. they have 750 cases in their hands of such nature.. and so it will be 2 years. before they can assist her case..
I am begging you to please ignore these letters and don't give these people the satisfaction to rob you of your life savings.. My friend was supposed purchase a house with the savings and instead now she has to sell her furniture..
She went to the UK to meet some wonderful business people .. supposedly.. and refused to tell me what it was all about, insisting that it was a surprise.. and when she was going to return .. she would invest in my business.. and everyone would be happy...The worste part .. is that these people pretended to be true Christians.. very familiar with scriptures.. and joined her in the Christian chat rooms.. and played along with her.. until she made that trip .. and they stole her money.. then they disappeared ..
Be aware.. a true lottery or fund transfering favours do not need any money upfront.. so be aware of who you are dealing with..
One man went to look for these people who had robbed him and never returned.. These people are not afraid to kill ..stay away from them..I am warning you because many of them are part of business groups.. and they hide among us and try to scam us..
Two years ago my brother almost got scammed.. but he sensed something fishy when they asked for money as deposit.. he backed out! Thanks to me and my other brother.. we knew it was a scam..
This is team work.. IF THERE WEREN' T CUSTOMERS THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY PROSTITUTES.. So let's educate our friends and families.. and business collegues.. and networking friends.. let's do it together..
PLEASE SEND THIS EMAIL TO ALL PEOPLE YOU KNOW ON YOUR EMAIL LIST.. AND SPEAK OF THIS TO ALL YOU KNOW..
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.. IF ALL OF CANADA AND USA AND ALL OTHER COUNTRIES BECOME AWARE OF THESE SCAMS..
LET'S SEND A GLOBAL WARNING.. IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE MEDIA .. TELL THEM TO WRITE ABOUT IT.. LET'S PUT THESE PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS!
THANK YOU
FAITHFULLY

Dear Friend,
I am very sure that this mail will bring lots of surprises
and curiosity to you since there was no previous
correspondence before now between us. I am Dr Lloyd Wright,
a solicitor at law to late Sir Avinash Magiwah, a late
Indian businessman based in the United Kingdom.
As the attorney to late Sir Avinash Magiwah, I was his
confidant as he shared with me virtually everything about
himself, his family and his business. I was his attorney
for 15yrs and during that period I wrote his will and was
also named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled
after his demise. I am also aware due to my closeness to
him that the amount eighteen million British pounds
(18,000,000) deposited with a bank in Europe was not willed
out. He told me of this on his sick bed and even instructed
me to prepare a codicil to that effect. However, before I
could finish he passed on. After his funeral and execution
of his will, I launched an investigation through his
personal assistance to ascertain the information at my
disposal and found out there is no next of kin to the fund
(18,000,000) British pounds. It is necessary for me to move
the money out of the bank before the bank regard it as
sundry expenses, which gives them the right to claim the
money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he is my client.
Neither can the personal assistance do that, for it could
arise suspicion. Hence soliciting for your assistance is
inevitable. I hereby solicit for your assistance and
consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account valued at eighteen
million British pounds (18,000,000) can be paid to you. I
am ready to concede up to 37% of the fund to you as your
share if you will help me pull the funds through your
account. I will secure all necessary documents to back up
our claim. I will be responsible for securing letter of
administration without will from the probate and personally
apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the
funds to you. I guarantee that this will be done under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. Have my assurance that there is nothing to
fear about, as I also need your assurance that you will
work with me with utmost good faith and confidentiality.
In the light of above, the following will be required to
achieve this goal,
Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers
Your positive response is a key to the successful
completion of this transfer. I look forward to hearing from
you through my email. :kwammz@mighty.co.za
Take care and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Lloyd Wright

Dear Friend,

RE: CONSIDER MY CONDITION
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold,we
will know each other better and how I got your contact.I will start by
introducing myself to you, I am Mrs Tina Obaseki,the wife of Chief Jackson
Gaius Obaseki, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am very sure that you will be of a
good assistance after carefully reading my letter. For many years of
marriage now between me and my husband,I have not given birth,and this has
really troubled my husband.This is as a result of so much respect attached
to local Tradition Culture and Custom in there community. And now my husband
is dead, In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present
situation of things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband family to
get me out from the house. My husband parents and brothers are not left out
in this matter.This situation has really affected me psychologically, most
of the time I am in the church to pray and rest myself,because there is no
room for rest in my own home again.
As I am writing to you now,I am no longer assured of a matrmonial home,
hence I seek for your urgent assistance and help me out, which I know will
go a long way in geting me settled down finally.I want to use this
pportunity,since my husband family are tring to abandoned me because of
childlessness,to move this amount of (US$32M) million us dollars into your
custody for safe keeping,pending my arrival in your country. Be informed
that this said amount was given to my husband as gratification from some
foreign oil companies he helped in securing Allocation for the Drilling of
Crude Oil in Nigeria. As a civil servant then,he does not want to be
esposed, so he gave me this money to keep in my personal account, this was
when the going was okay between us,so that he can exonerate himself from
the eyes of Government security operatives and the civil service
commission(CSC)which is the body that scrutinizes the activities of all
civil servants in Nigeria as checks and balances for official misconduct.
Please i need your urgent assistance because my husband family are tring to
take all i and my husbnad has labourd for and throw me out of the house,
please don't let this happen to me come and save me out of this truouble and
i will be forever be geatfull to you. To be sincere and honest
with you,this money is never connected with drugs, money aundry,firearms and
looting,which I beleive might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing
your help for security reasons. Hence the source of this said money is clean
and clear. This money was eposited in my personal Domicillary Account and I
have discussed with the bank manager who is very close to me, my intention
to transfer the money out of Nigeriaand he promise to render to me all the
assistance I needed to transfer the money out of Nigeria.All I need now is
for you to send me your bank account and other informations,to enable my
bank apply for foreign exchange at the Federal Ministry of Finance with your
name as the beneficiary of the
fund.This is how my bank has planned it,to avoid any suspicion from our apex
bank. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, As soon as I
receive your response and your willingness to help as regards to his I will
furnish you on the next line of action to take immediately. Note,as soon as
the money is successfully transfered into your account, I will start coming
to meet you in your country.I romise to compensate you very well at the
successful end, this is the guranttee I am giving you from my heart of
heart.Be informed according to my bank manager,this transaction will not
last more than 7 working bank days and it will be concluded because every
necessary/vital arrangements has been put in place, take note. Your negative
or positive response will be highlyappreciated by me,Thanks and Godbless
your family.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Tina Obaseki
