transferred
under the cooperation of a new partner from paraguay.
Presently I'm in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share
of the total sum. meanwhile,I didn't forget you and other poeple that
tried
to help me transfer the fund.I have brought a small amount of money for

you so that you can use it to help your self and also believe that it
was real.

Now,I want you to contact my secretary,her name is Mrs.Ruth Okwuegbue
and her email address is ( ruthokwue@yahoo.fr ), ask her to send to you

the total of $800,000 usd which I kept for your compensation for your
attempts to assist me in the transaction. I appreciated all your
efforts at
that time that was why i decided to compensate you now.
Contact Mrs.Ruth Okwuegbue and instruct her on how to send the amount
to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive the money so that we can
share
the joy after all the sufferness we undergo at that time. In the
moment, I am
very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new
partner are having at hand, finally, remember that I had forwarded
instruction to the secretary on your behalf in order for you to receive
that
money, so feel free to get in touch with Mrs.Ruth Okwuegbue on(

This moron can't even manage his scams. He just sent me this.

FROM: Mr.Daniel Mensah,
GRAND FINANCE AND TRUST BANK.
RUE CLUB DE L' AMITIE,
0251 B.P. 1625 COTONOU,
BéNIN REPUBLIQUE.



My Dear Friend,

In Oder to transfer to overseas $28.5 million(USD) from GRAND FINANCE
AND TRUST BANK,Bénin Republique.
I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or
to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an
empty a/c can serve to receive this funds quitely.

I am Mr.Daniel Mensah, the accountant/auditor of the above Finance
Corporation in Cotonou,Bénin Republique and personal confidant to
Mr.Alvaro Quesada of Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island who died in
a Plane Crash accident(2002-04-19) on his way to attend a weddind
ceremony together with his wife and only Child (Alvaro Jr).

Mr.Alvaro Quesada, is From Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island, and
a prosperous Tobacco merchant, he died in the year 2002 without having
any beneficiary to his assets including his account here in Bénin
which he opened in the above stated bank in the year 2001 as his
personal savings for the purpose of expansion and developement of his
company in Africa before his untimely death in 2002.Until his death,he
was the president of the Dominican Tobacco Exporters Association.

And from my Investigation,i found out that No other person knows about
this account because he( Mr.Alvaro Quesada )never knew that he is going
to die so soon, and so his purpose was not achieved. If i don't remit
this money immediately, it will get lost(may be it will go into the
pockets of the corrupt government officials who will never use it for
any reasonable thing at all).I dont want to miss this opportunity
because it comes ones in a life time.

The amount involved is $28.5 million(USD)Twenty eight million,five
hundred United States Dollars and no other person knows about this
account. I am contacting you for us to transfer this funds to your
account as the beneficiary,I want to first transfer
$16,000.000.00(Sixteen million USD) from this money into a safe account
abroad, after which we will transfer the remaining (12.5M). I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to
a local person here, without a valid foreign international passport,
but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers license and foreign a/c, this is because the money
is in US Dollars and the former owner of the a/c, Alvaro Quesada is a
foreigner too, and as such the money can only be approved into a
foreign a/c.

However, I am revealing this to you with belief in God that you will
never let me down in this business.I don't know you and have never seen
you before,i only got your contacts from an international directory
which my secretary provided for me. You are the first and the only
person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently
so that I will inform you the next step to take. Send also your private
telephone and fax number.

I need your full co-operation to make this work because the management
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account,which I will give to you, upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will
meet up with instruction of a keybank official who is deeply involved
with me in this business.
I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal
because all the documents that will back up this transaction will be
available, so that no body will question the fund when it is finaly
tranfered to your account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total
amount and 60% will be for me. I look forward to your earliest reply
through this email.


Thanks for your time.

Your's faithfully,

Mr.Daniel Mensah

When you do contact them, they will tell you the money is blocked or
there are some bank fees to pay or they need some sort of id or
guarantee (in the form of your credit card nr.) or ... The possibilities
are endless.

Ahhh so therein lies the scam. "I need you to send me money right away
to help pay for this" to which I would reply "you're the one that just
got all these millions, YOU pay the fees, if you really are so giving.
Also, I'll just take the money in the form of a cashier's check, thank you"

The scam that tricks people is when they send an international money
order for $5,000 for a $4500 item. You take the money order to your
bank and they cash it with no problems. You send the scammer his item
plus a $500 refund (he sent you extra because he didn't know what
international shipping would cost).

Then a week later you find out that money order didn't clear and the
bank takes it out of your account and charges you a bounced check fee
to boot.
