EMAIL

Greetings,

My name is James Moore and I represent Bank of America, Seattle Washington. I am sending you this email due to a certain desperate need of your assistance towards accomplishing a fruitful aim for a good business relationship between us. We had a customer whom was a Soldier with the US Armed Forces, his name was- Sgt. 1st Class Victor A. Anderson and he is presently deceased during his patriotic act in Iraq.

Before his death, he had an Available balance of $1,235,000.00 which was his payment from a real estate agent whom he sold his house to. At this time, his only existing relative / his next of kin was his late father (Mr. Charles Anderson) whom died during a sudden nervous breakdown after hearing that his son was killed when a roadside bomb detonated near their Humvee while they were on patrol in Baghdad, Iraq, on July 30, 2005. To confirm this story, visit the following website for a complete list and search for his name as stated above. The website is: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/ .

After his death, the US Govt. deposited the sum of $800,000 as compensation for his next of kin, as after his death his entire body was disarranged and was left a memorial space in Baghdad, Iraq. Since then, there has been no claim towards the money as the total sum of $2,035,000.00 is presently available in this dormant account with no claim. I have been instructed to find an appropriate next of kin who can consist of either Family Friend's / Cousin / In-law / Any Blood Relations and everything in my power has been proved to be abortive, therefore I am writing you to offer you a certain deal on this specific account.

I intend having you as Mr. Victor's Next of Kin as I have all information in which you shall require to complete this transaction as we have a deadline of 14 business working days to complete this request before the account is placed on a negative status, I shall handle all Legal matters as I am placed as the Account Officer in-charge of this account. After everything has been accomplished, I am offering you 50% of $2,000,000.00 which is $1,000,000.00 and I shall get $1,000,000 as my share. The only reason I am offering you a stranger this offer is because all my phone lines are presently insecure and this e-mail is the only secured means of communication as having an anonymous communication between us both would enable a transparent transaction in which the bank shall believe. I also intend having a sincerely and risk-free transaction with you so therefore I strongly advise maximum confidentiality on this transaction.

However, to complete such transactions I shall have to appoint an attorney on your behalf who shall NOT have knowledge of our sharing of this funds but handle legal matters. Honestly, there might be charges but not more than 2 required fee's which shall be split by the both of us so the burden doesn't affect only you. If you are interested in helping me out on this, kindly reply me with the following information:

YOUR FULL NAME-
ADDRESS-
CITY-
STATE-
ZIP CODE-
HOME PHONE NUMBER-
CELL PHONE NUMBER-
CURRENT OCCUPATION-
MONTHLY INCOME-

Kindly reply me and also let me know if we can have these funds transferred to your present checking account or you'd rather have us setup a new account here at Bank of America which will make the transaction rapidly processed. Feel free to call my office at- 206-984-0470 however if you do not reach me, kindly send me an e-mail via the following e-mail address:

[email protected]

I shall be waiting to hear from you.

Regards,
James Moore.

I google-searched this phone number, assuming this was a scam as I'm not involved with an ATM card since I don't have one to begin with. Also, I figured I would not be e-mailed telling me that I'm involved and being investigated by the FBI. I would assume they would just come arrest me. LOL. This is the e-mail I got. When I asked Yahoo for a full header, they gave it to me. The full header and the actual e-mail are clearly marked below.

RE: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SEEKING TO WIRETAP THE INTERNET


We the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington, DC in conjunction
with some other relevant Investigation Agencies here in the United states

in screening through this project as stipulated on our protocols of
operation and have finally confirmed that your contract payment is 100%

To this effect,  we will advise that you go ahead in dealing with the

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the person of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
along with some of his officials, regarding your case and they made
us to understand that your payment  file has been held in abase for some
reasons depending on when you personally come for the claim.  They also
complained that the only problem they are facing right now is that some
unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent
people off their hard earned money by impersonating the Executive Governor
and the Central Bank office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Rachel Hood
from OHIO, USA. has already contacted the Central Bank office on your
behalf and also presented to them all the necessary documentations
evidencing your claim purported to have been signed personally by you for
the release of your contract fund valued at about US$8,000,000.00 (Eight
million united states dollars). The Central Bank of Nigeria did the wise
thing by insisting on hearing from you personally before they go ahead on
releasing your fund to the Banking information which was forwarded to them
by the above named Lady, so that was the main reason why they contacted us
so as to assist them in making the investigations to avoid any
irregularity. should in case you are already dealing with anybody or office
that might be posing to be the Central Bank of Nigeria, we advise that you
STOP further contact with them in your best interest and contact the
genuine office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN,) ONLY with the below
information accordingly:
