Miss Young

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

My Dear,

Thanks for your prompt responds. You can understand, I have been careful in giving out this information for security reasons and to avoid talking to the wrong person. As I told you I work with Barclays Bank, Ghana Branch, though I was at Kumasi Branch, but was transferred newly to Accra Central Branch as the Assistant Head of Operations.

While going through some data in the office I noticed an unsuccessful transaction attached to this name with the following details.


Transaction Value: US$10 Million
Reference No: BK/GH76465/TT/09
Purpose of Payment: Contract /Inheritance Fund
Approval No. GHTMOF-45673/ACC
Customer Email:
From record it seems a contract payment due for payment via our Bank here in Africa, what I could not understand is if this is a complete or part payment .

From my findings also here in the system, there has been attempts to conclude this transaction by you, if not you?, then know that somebody has made attempts to transfer this fund but could not succeed due to misinformation on the transaction file.

I also have discovered that my Boss in the Office is intending to divert this fund to his personal account in Zurich Switzerland, which to me is illegal, because that fund is not in his name. It was when I discovered this that I decided to inform you immediately. The Good-news here is that Ministry of Finance here in Ghana has since giving the Final Approval to pay out this contract fund to you as the beneficiary few months ago, am sure you don’t know.

I am 43 years, I have 3 kids, I do not want to sit back and watch my boss transfer this fund to his personal account when I am 100% he is not the beneficiary. Also, what I found difficult to understand is who was handling this transaction previously in your name, because the person made so many mistakes, which I am going to correct as soon as I hear from you positively. it was due to this mistakes that the person abandoned this transaction uncompleted till date.

I just have an information to give you, which will help you secure this payment into your country without any stress or hitch if only you can keep to my instructions.

(1) I will not want any body within our office to know I am the person who is giving you this information thereby assisting you in this transaction with the right information.

(2) That you will be willing to compensate me greatly after the fund is credited into your account.

(3) That you will cease every further communication with anybody regarding this issue to avoid complications as there might be attempts to distract you from the truth by my Boss directly or indirectly.

Listen, I will not be a party to take what does not belong to me, I will rather be more happier with anything you give me as an appreciation after the transaction is concluded. I am willing to help you secure this transaction with the above conditions.

So Please if by any means you are not the beneficiary and you know the beneficiary above tell the person to call me urgently on my direct number below for more details and advice.

I will be willing to assist in any way I can to make sure the fund is transferred to your country within the next few days.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Date: Thursday, 7 October, 2010, 10:35

My Dear

Please Read the details carefully.

Thanks for your email, the contents are well noted. The fund I am talking about is in your name, but what I am not sure is who was handling this transaction in your name and could not succeed, but left it half way and why the transaction was abandoned?.. The good thing here is that the Ghana Ministry of Finance has approved this payment to your name already, that was why I was concerned to contact you.

Please, I must beg you to do everything within your capability to ensure that you did not disclose my identity; I will certainly get into trouble if you eventually disclose that I am the one who is helping you with the right steps to transfer this fund to your country.

I have explained to you in my first mail. On your side, I guarantee you a 100% Risk free, you do not have any thing to worry about. I know this is going to be a great risk for me, but I am compelled by my conscience to help You.

The first 3 Conditions I gave you in my second mail must be strictly be adhered to if we must succeed. I will deliver the transaction to you. A Promise.

Few days ago before I contacted you, I do understand that some of the back-up document are intact in your file while some have expired due to the long delays, actually no institution can accept those expired documents for such transaction.

In order words, if our office Transfer your fund, you are still going to have hitch in future as a result of the documents. It is either one department puts a stop order or the other, just to frustrate the transaction.

The expired documents are 2 in your file, the Drug/Anti Terrorist Certificate, and Affidavit of Claim, while others are intact. It is of no use proceeding with them because it will still jeopardize my efforts thereafter.

NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU DO FOR ME IMMEDIATELY, I am sending you an application which you will send to Mr Benjamin Dabra, (Operations Manager) (If possible call him) listen he knows that what he is doing is wrong and cannot do much if he finds out that you have some vital information regarding this transaction.

I know he will be wondering how you got his private email, let that be his assignment to discover, if you can, a call will also authenticate this move and make him understand how delicate the issue at hand is. The Office Number is ++233-30-291-8678 . His private email address is:benjamindabra1@gmail.com

Since you are not here present in our bank, I recommend we use some someone who will act as your representative to put pressure on Mr. Banjamin Dabra , I wish to use a close friend of mine Mr. Godfrey Samuel, Take Note: (Mr. Godfrey Samuel is a close friend) we leave in the same Building. He is smart and can handle the assignment perfectly acting as your representative here. I trust him.

Mr. Godfrey Samuel, when he comes to our office as your Representative, he will demand for your file, and automatically, I will personally approve and allow him have the file. He will cross-examine and confirm the two documents that expired.

Do not worry about the two documents, I know too well the Drug clearance certificate will not cost less than US$1500, while the Affidavit of Claim is close to US$700, I am going to use my personal savings to pay for this two document on your behalf, only that you have to keep record of this, so that you can refund after .

I will send to you a copy of the updated Original Drug/Anti Terrorist Certificate, and Affidavit of Claim for your own confirmation as soon as I obtain them, and will re-file the original copy in your folder through Mr. Godfrey Samuel.

Please read this mail again, so that you will not make any mistake at all. The application came in a separate mail, Send me email as soon as you send the letter to Mr. Benjamin, so that I will know when to invite Mr. Godfrey Samuel, I will brief him on the role he will play. Just leave that to me and do not mention my name in any way, please.

Do not forget that I will not continue untill I hear from you.

Thanks, I wait for your immediately reply,

My Dear,

I was happy to confirm you have sent the application to Mr Benjamin Dabra as I advised, No wonder he has been somehow restless in the office before the arrival of Mr. Godfrey Samuel today, My dear the presence of Mr. Godfrey Samuel in the office today was a big shocker to him, and as planned he played his role very well, everything went as I have explained to you previously.

So as planed Mr Godfrey confirmed the 2 documents as which has expired, and he assured our office that he is procuring another genuine and certified copy within few days.

The next step is to ensure that the documents are secured. As I assured you, I am sourcing out the funds to secure the documents on your behalf today. I am sorry if this is taking your time, but there is nothing I can do to fast forward the transaction than to follow normal procedures and take it one at a time.

I am raising US$1500 before the end of the day,and I will proceed to the office Drug Law Enforcement Agency of Ghana to obtain the Anti-Terrorist and Drug Clearance Certificate in your favour, since I have your details with me.

Due to time, I am not too sure, I will still proceed to Court for the Affidavit of Claim same day, as you know all these will take me time, and I cannot be outside office more than necessary, so I will take it one at a time. Secondly I am not sure of raising additional US$700 same day for the Affidavit, but not to worry, I will certainly take care of it.

The fund I have will cover the the expenses for the two documents, it will only take me time and stress . But I will try and complete it.

I will also send a copy of any of the documents as soon as it is available to you for confirmation. It is important that you also acknowledge the receipt of this mail as soon as you receive it. I will call you as soon as possible...

Thank you.

My Dear,
I am sorry for the delay in writing you back,I collected the Affidavit from the court and the Drug Clearance from the Ghana Drug Law Enforcement Agency in your favour today, I was busy so I had to send my friend Mr. Godfrey Samuel (The guy am using as your representative) to go on my behalf.
Please find attached the Drug Clearance Certificate and affidavit issued in your favour. Be informed that I have paid for all these documents on your behalf, so you have nothing to worry about.
The most challenging thing was that the person who was handling this transaction for you last years, made so many mistakes that I needed to correct so that your file can be clean. I wish you know this person, so that I can confirm some certain things from him.
For now your file is ready, but I have not been comfortable with my boss actions. When I got the Papers, I askedMr Benjamin Dabra (My Boss)to stamp your file READY which is an approval / indication that the transfer is set, after cross checking it, I realized a change in his mood, Mr. Godfrey was also in his office as I discussed with him to pressurize him, he told him that he will stamp/sign the file later, but he never did until he left the office today,. He is just a very difficult person.
There are extents I cannot go because he is still my boss that’s why am fronting Mr. Godfrey as your representative. I also believe that you will be able to appreciate him after this transaction, as his presence has helped to fasten everything.
I will find fulfillment any day you tell me that the fund is in your account, Do not worry about your skepticism regarding moving the funds to your account successfully. That is why I am taking all the careful measures to get the right back-ups. Which our bank will also personally fax to your bank directly as soon as the transfer is done.
I am expecting that he will sign/stamp the file very soon. I will tell Mr. Godfrey to rake the entire office, I will make sure he draws attention by so doing he will have no option than to stamp the file. So hopefully if he signs/stamps your file, then the transfer can be affected latest next day.. My target is to make sure that the transfer is done within 24 hours from any time he signs and stamps your file Ready. The only delay we are having now is for my Boss to sign your file and transfer will be done, so lets keep praying he changes his mind.
I hope you are following the process am taking? Am not in a hurry to avoid any kind of mistake, if you have been following me carefully, you will understand that I am not in a hurry and I have been honest with you in every bit. I want us to have this transaction concluded legally in such a way that it will not contravene the financial policy of my country and that of yours.
So bear with me for the delays. I am just doing all these to ensure that the transaction is no longer delayed or have more problem, that is why I am going all out to get everything legal, I know this might be taking your time, but bear with me, I want to make sure I am doing the right things for you.
I am not in a hurry at all, The same mistake the first person who was handling this
transaction made is what I am trying to correct AND AVOID to make sure the transaction is clean to avoid any problems. Am sure you will understand and appreciate that.
Confirm when you get this message. Feel free to call me any time any day.Provide me with your personal phone number, where I can call you if there is need.

Subject: My next idea..
Date: Thursday, 28 October, 2010, 0:32

My Dear,

Please Accept my appology if by any means this is taking much time than you have scheduled, the truth is that my Boss Mr Benjamin has been a very difficult person, infact even the office is no longer condusive for me.

He is not happy with this development at all, because he has already concluded his evil plans to divert this funds before i got in contact with you and told you to come for claims.. And now that you are ontop of it, there is nothing he can do.. Even the Presence of Mr Godfrey Samuel makes the situation more critical for him. Mr Godfrey is indeed doing a good job which I am sure by the end of the transaction you should be able to appreciate and compensate him for his efforts.

All that is left for this transaction to be concluded is just my Boss's signature, the transfer will be done sucessfully any day he endorses your file, because he has to issue the final approval for the department that is handling the international Transfers, but he has refused to pass on your file...God knows what he is up to.. All documents are ready and ok now.

I am only taking it ligtly because I am working directly under him, so there is an extent i can go and besides he does not really know I am the person who is behind this...

So there is a way I will front my self and he will catch up which, will not be easy for me in the office.
I have confidence in my self and I want you to always remember the fact that he is my superior, so I am still subject to his authority... you know this

What I will do is that I will advice Mr Godfrey to meet with Mrs. Margaret Mwanakatwe who was one of our International Seniour Staffs, she is a foreigner, but worked with us here in Ghana, and complain to her, I believe with her intervention, we can achieve this. She has much respect in the office. Am sure if she can come into this, Banjamin Dabra will have no option than to sign the document,

This is the far I can go for now, So I will arrange for them (Godfrey and Margerat) to meetby Mondaymorning, lets see how it goes. i believe if she can talk to my Boss, he will sign the documents, Mr Magaret is a Seniour and respected Staff of our Bank.
My other problerm is that Mr Godfrey is very worried as he is due to leave for his home town, I told you he lost his mother and the funeral is taking placecoming weekend, so this transaction is keeping him around for now.

I am sorry for the stress, but this is the ovious fact, which you too is seeing reason with me. I have decided to attach copies of my ID, so that you know me in person.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Date: Thursday, 28 October, 2010, 12:37

Dear

GOOD NEWS !!

To God be the glory, Am just so glad to announce to you that your FILE HAS FINALLY BEEN ENDORSED by my boss Mr Benjamin. He could not withstand the pressure I arranged from Mr. Godfrey Samuel. The Idea of Using Mrs Magrate really worked

I knelt dawn today in my office and thanked God for the wisdom he gave me in handling this transaction. This should be the happiest incident of the week for me, I cannot tell what gave me the courage to do this but I am glad I did not disappoint you in any way.

However, I wanted to ignore this issue but on a second thought after speaking with Mr Godfrey Samuel (Your Representative) over the phone now, He advised I should let you know, for us to put heads together.

At the moment everything is standing straight but there is something I am considering to avoid any form of delay.

According to Godfrey Samuel, Mrs. Margaret Mwanakatwe advised Godfrey that there will be no need proceeding with the wire transfer of $10 Million at a time, because it might also be stopped by Monitoring Bodies Like Federal Reserve and Homeland Security, IRS, IMF etc, since the amount is too big, that it has not been easy recently moving such huge sum at once out of this country without questionings. She rather gave a suggestion which am also considering even though I do not have enough money at the moment, if we are considering this option.

(1) SPLIT TRANSFER. She said that she will advice that you provide at least 3 different accounts, by this method the money will now be split into 3 different transactions before transfer. She said that when the 3 transfers are made, certainly two or three must go successfully into the designated bank accounts if not all, because the amount is then smaller and will not attract much attention. She also confirmed we can use the same account repeatedly.

(2) ONLINE TRANSFER In alternative, she recommended that you as the beneficiary should open an online account with our bank which is called e-banking. I know you may have an idea of what this is. This method makes the transfer fast and simple. The money reflects in your online account within few minutes once activated. You can then be withdrawing / transfering into your bank account or any other account of your choice in lesser amounts any monitoring.

She said that the reason why most people are making mistakes is lack of adherence to professional instructions.

After her discussion with Godfrey, Godfrey told me not to proceed until I discuss with you about the best option, if I consider these options because she was plain to explain the situation of things.

My Dear, I will not lie to you this options are preferred even though they might seem to cause a day delay. Do not forget that the bank will DEDUCT any of these charges from the total fund as soon as they are ready to make transfer. That is the normal procedures for Transfer Charges unless if you advice otherwise.

Listen, We still have the alternative of going ahead with the transfer without splitting or online account, but this is a risk, which I will not personally like to take considering what I have gone through.

I will need your decision on which method to choose. I have paid for all the documents and other financial involvements, So dont worry about the Transfer Charges the bank will normally make a deduction from transfer amount., all I need is your decision on the method of transfer now.

So as the beneficiary, I need to agree with you to know which option will be more preferred to you. I do not know the policies in your country that is why I have to discuss with you first before proceeding.

Please do get back to me immediately after reading this mail so that I will know what to do next.

Meanwhile, since the approval has been granted and there is no other problem, I have decided to allow Mr Godfrey Samuel to Travel immediately to his home town, you know I told you he lost his mother, and the funeral is in few days from now, he was getting more worried, so I have to allow him travel to Kumasi.

Subject: Re: How you will reply the bank back
Date: Thursday, 28 October, 2010, 15:27

My Dear,

I have read the mail you received from the bank (Mrs Shola). I verify the email to be from my bank, it needs attention and carefulness., I am even happy the bank has contacted you directly, that is a positive confirmation of all process being in order. As you can see the transfer has been approved, which is also in our favour.

Listen, there has been a serious problem in the office, to be honest with you, our office is suspecting that Mr. Godfrey Samuel, the person I am using as your representative, is not working for you, there is this feelings that he is not sent by you, and if not for my
presence am sure things might have gone wrong.

My Boss is causing serious problem here in the office, giving the impression that Godfrey Samuel is an imposter who is pretending to be representing you, and he is doing everything to prove it to the management. That Godfreys activity is illegal and must be checked

I have every conviction than this mail from the bank is an investigation strategy.
(1) They want to confirm if you are actually the beneficiary of this fund.
(2) Also this is an avenue to find out if indeed Godfrey is
representing you or not.
(3) This is a serious security measure to ensure that this fund is not being claimed by any other person except the beneficiary whose name appear on the transfer papers..


At this stage, We need to prove these 3 points beyond reasonable doubts to the bank, else they transfer will not be effected. As you can see on that form, they even want you as the Original Beneficiary to Fill the form personally and send it back to them directly not through any third person or even Godfrey.

As the bank mail reads, I want to know the possibility of your coming down to Ghana to sign the Release Orders and Fill the form personally, I think your coming down to Ghana is the best option, please make your traveling arrangement to come down to Ghana, at least it will also give you the opportunity to see me face to face, Don’t worry you can
stay in my house if you don’t feel like staying in a hotel upon your arrival.


All I want is the success of this transaction, This is no longer an issue Mr Godfrey can handle, the bank needs your presence here....and Mr Godfrey left to his home town for his mothers funeral which I earlier told you.

Please Do me this favour to save the transaction and Mr. Godfrey. Do your best and fly down to Ghana next week so that this transaction can be successfully concluded..

I would have loved to have you visit Ghana at this time, But if your tight schedule wouldn’t let you travel at the moment, you will be left with no other option than to fill the form carefully , also send them a copy of your ID as added evidence. You can pretend to be sick, that you can not travel against your doctors advice at the moment.

Make sure you confirm from them, the method you should send the administrative fee of $1500 to them in your absence, so that you can do it alongside, while returning the form.

But do not send them the complete $1500, I know you may not have this money at the moment as you already explained to me, So dont get stressed up about this. Find out first how they want you to send the $1500. As soon as they advice you, you tell them that you are only going to send $500 to them from your city, but that the balance must be paid through your representative here Mr Godfrey Samuel.

So you go ahead and send the $500 only together with the completed form. I will find a way and have Godfrey complete the balance from here. That is the only way I think they can attend to Godfrey again. But if you can cover the total $1500, it will be appreciated and make it faster for us.

Remember, NOT TO SEND this payment through a 3rd person from your country as their mail warns, they might refuse as long as this is an SECRETE INVESTIGATIVE STRATEGY. Unless if the person bears the same surname with you. I suspect they want to actually confirm if this payment will come from the beneficiary whose name appear on this transfer papers.

Remember this payment is optional, you only return the form / payment if you confirm you cant make the trip. You and I knows very well there has been attempts to divert this fund, even before I met you, the bank has entrenched added security measure to ensure that no body will claim this fund except you.

Your safety is guaranteed in my hands upon your arrival in my country if you consider making the trip. Since you are ok with the online Banking. I can work on it after you return the forms with the payment.

You are not ignorant of how much I have contributed to push this transaction to this final stage. I do know you appreciate my efforts. Do not worry about the Online / Split Transfer Charges, The normal Cost of Transfer (COT) will automatically be deducted from the total
sum after this investigation, and only the balance will be transferred to you, THAT IS THE NORMAL Procedure...
So don’t get angry about this… But we have to clear up this investigation process first.

At this point this is not even something Godfrey can handle since the bank is already suspecting his activities on this issue and besides he is out of town for the funeral. Am sure you will not want to implicate him after all he has done for us. Understand the security measures here please. The form was sent to you purely on investigation
intentions...

We need not to allow this last process to frustrate or jeopardize all our struggles and efforts. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation READ THIS WHOLE MAIL AGAIN FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

I wish you will understand the situation at hand, if this is not done the transfer will never hold, the bank believes that Godfrey Samuel is not acting for you, he might enter into bigger trouble if this issue is not well handled. My Boss is raising dust here and trying to convince the entire staff that Godfrey is not working for you as there is no evidence.

The application you send to Mr Benjamin is enough Power of Attorney. but yet my Boss did not honour it, And besides Godfry just left to his village, He is out of town, I told you he lost his mother and the funeral is taking place coming week, so he needs to be with his family there. It was this transaction that kept him till now from traveling.

Please we need to save the situation, I am begging you in Gods name to see what you can do to come down to Ghana as soon as you can, I am in a tight corner here and dont know what else to do. You know what I have gone through to come this far... it was prayers that led us this far.

You know me too well, if it is something within my powers I would have taking care of it without further delays or even asking you, Am just confused and almost stranded here. At this point you seems to be the only hope I have now. I hate to beg, but I have no choice here.

I never know this will happen, I know this is my Boss who is manipulating this, he just want to scare Godfrey away or put him into trouble so that the transaction will be frustrated, He has been making some diversionary tactics to frustrate us, you also know the wicked roles he has been playing to divert this sum to his private accounts in switzerland, And also you know he never signed your approval papers willingly it was when Godfrey complained to Mrs Magrate that she influenced him to sign it, He did not do that smiling, So I am not surpriced when he comes up with such accusation. He even denied that you did not send him any application in the first place.

Now you see we have an issue at hand, the bank only wants a confirmation, this is an investigation they are making, please understand this fact clearly. That form was sent to you purely on investigation intentions.

I dont have the better words to explain as I am even loosing concentration, because I dont know what will be the outcome of this if you fail to comply with the banks instruction.

Please this is all you have to do for me for this transaction to succeed, I am begging you in Gods name to see what you can do, I know times are hard, but you might be saving us with this sacrifice knowing how much I have personally contributed to push this transaction to this FINAL STAGE.

I just wish it will be easier for you to fly down to my country, that would have being a great and better idea, as it will also give us the opportunity to meet one on one atleast to know each other better, you will also get to know my lovely family while you are here.

But if you have checked your schedule, and this is not the best time for you to fly, I am thinking you can email the bank and inform them you are not too good in health, that your doctor advice you should not travel at the moment, then fill the form and attach a copy of your ID, then confirm from them how the payment attached to the form should ne sent to them.

I wish this is something I can even handle for you, but you know I can't, as the office does not know my involvement in this transaction, and also Godfrey is now a prime suspect that if he tries anything smart they will apprehend him. Even making the payment through him is risky, questions will be asked. And we cant bring in a 3rd person from here at this point that is the worst thing we can do now.

I pray that you will understand and comply with the banks request and leave the rest for us to handle after the investigation . Remember we dont have time... My boss will not waste a second to cancel this transaction if you defaults.

PLEASE Email The Mrs Shola back now and ask her how you can send the $1500 to then, if you are sure you can't make the trip soonest, because they will need 24 hours to process your form before transfer. Remember to attach a copy of your ID also. All you will need to send them is only $500, while I will give Godfrey the balance to pay up as soon as yours is received by the bank

Thanks for your understanding... in advance
