Percayakah anda?

Entah dimana silapnya ( tau la saya ni bukannya pakar internet). tiba-tiba saya menerima banyak email yang meminta pertolongan untuk menjadi rakan kongsi lah, meminta pertolongan agar wang warisan dari keluarga dapat dikeluarkan melalui rakan luar negara la...waaa...lumayan juga tu geng...bukan ribu-ribu tapi million...aku kaya aku kaya...dalam US Dollar lagi. saya memang kurang yakin dan percaya dengan kewujudan scam seumpama ini.

ada la juga saya main-main. ikut tengok sejauh mana kebenarannya. saya pun responlah kepada satu email dari afrika. orang itu memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai aleem. dia approach dengan penuh kasihan dan minta simpati, agar ada orang boleh membantunya mengeluarkan warisan berjumah 15 Juta US Dollar. Kononnya dia bekerja dengan sebuah bank dan menemui akaun yang tidak dituntut kerana penama itu telah terlibat dengan kemalangan yang menyebabkan semua anggota keluarganya maut.

setelah saya bersetuju untuk membantunya. mana lah tau kan...cuba-cubalah...kalau dia bagi 10 persen pun banyak juga tuuuu....saya pun menghubungilah bank di afrika dengan menggunakan email. tidak lama kemudian bank itu memberi respond.

wah...ingatkan sudah boleh bank in...bank itu meminta euro 1500..sebagai yuran proses. saya katakan pada aleem saya tidak akan memberi walau sesen pun kerana asasnya, saya hanya membantu beliau sebagai transit, bukannya untuk segala pembayaran dokumen.

Aleem menelefon dari Afrika banyak kali. beliau kata biarlah setengah-setengah sebab isterinya sakit dan berada di Perancis. beliau tidak mempunyai wang untuk membayar yuran itu. saya katakan tidak kepadanya.

seminggu kemudian Aleem menghantar email kepada saya mengatakan beliau telah mendapat wang itu melalui bantuan seorang rakan dari luar negara. dan beliau turut berterima kasih dengan saya kerana telah berusaha membantunya...beliau menyuruh saya menghubungi setiausahanya kerana beliau meninggalkan cek bernilai USD8000...banyakkan...

setelah saya menghubungi setiausaha nya kononnya itu...alalala....orang itu meminta 350 dalam mata wang euro untuk kos pengiriman...beliau turut menghantar gambar cek London Citibank melalui email. apabila saya kata, hantar menggunakan mail biasa, dia cakap ikut sahajalah cakap dia...saya pun tidak mahu lagi lah...memang penipu...

ini ialah contoh email mereka approach kita

FROM THE DESK OF MR XXXX

(CONFIDENTIAL)
I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW YOU WILL FEEL RECEIVING A SUDDEN BUSINESS LETTER FROM A REMOTE COUNTRY IN FAR AWAY BURKINA FASO WEST AFRICA AND PROBABLY FROM SOME ONE YOU HAVE NOT CLOSELY RELATED WITH. BUT ALL THE SAME, I BELIEVE WE DO NOT NEED TO BE OF BLOOD RELATIVES BEFORE WE CAN ESTABLISH CORDIAL/BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. HAVING SAID THIS, I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AT THIS JUNCTURE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU.

I AM.MR.XXX THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL. I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE, I DO NOT WANT TO TRANSACT THE BUSINESS WITH ANYBODY WHO IS KNOWN TO ANY STAFF OF THIS BANK OR ANYBODY AROUND HERE TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE BLACKMAIL OR LEAKAGE AT THE END OF THE TRANSACTION.

THE PROPOSAL:
DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK, MY DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS A VERY HUGE SUM OF MONEY BELONGING TO A DECEASED PERSON WHO DIED IN A PLANE CRASH AND THE FUND HAS BEEN DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY EITHER FROM HIS FAMILY OR RELATION BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.THE SAID AMOUNT WAS U.S $5.5M ( FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW,

IN FACT I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT BECAUSE OF MY POSITION IN THIS COUNTRY AS A CIVIL SERVANT(A BANKER )WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPPERATE A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AND WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYE BROW ON MY SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER BECAUSE I WORK IN THIS BANK.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL REASON WHY IT WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS AS THE NEXT OF KIN WITH AFFIDAVIT OF TRUST OF OATH TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE HE WILL NEED THE MONEY TO BE RE-TRANSFERRED INTO ON HIS REQUEST AS IT MAY BE AFTER DUE VERIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION BY THE CORRESPONDENT BRANCH OF THE BANK WHERE THE WHOLE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED FROM TO YOUR OWN DESIGNATION BANK ACCOUNT.
