From: Mirabel Milan
Abidjan Cote d'ivoire
West Africa.

Introduction

Please do reply me through my private mail box above
and also send me your direct E-mail to reach you .

It is my pleasure to contact you for a business
venture which I intend to establish in your country.
Though I have not met with you before but I believe,
one has to risk confiding in succeed sometimes in
life. There is this huge amount of eight million U.S
dollars($8,000,000.00) which my late Father kept for
me with a Fiduciary Fund Holder in Abidjan before he
was assasinated by the Rebels persons during this war
in Cote d'ivoire.

Now I have decided to invest these money in your
country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for
security and political reasons. I want you to help me
claim and retrieve this fund from the Fiduciary Fund
Holders and transfer it into your personal account in
your country for investment purposes on these areas:

1) Telecommunication
2) The Transport Industry
3) Five Star Hotel
4) Real Estate Management

If you can be of an assistance to me I will be pleased
to offer to you 15% of the total fund for your
assistance to me.

I await your soonest response.

Respectfully yours,
Miss.Mirabel Milan

My Dear Michel,

Almighty God bless you for your kind response and I know God in his infinity mercy will bring some one honest and nice to me and will never fail .Thank you very much for your response Almighty will surely bless you. You know it is a very delicate and serious issue pls note that we contacted you after prayers and hope you will help me, I can't contact other people because it is not save for me and you can't trust anybody with this kind of transaction.

This is a little bit about my background, my Father is a well known business man here in Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire West Africa, his name is King George Milan, and he deals in Cocoa and Timber Exportation to Eu Countries and US as his line of business and that is where he acquired this money, you can see that the money is from a right source and not illegal.

He was assasinated during this war in this country on October 17th 2004 by the Rebels who suspected him as supporting the Governement to fight against them and all our houses were burnt to ashes and I have to stay at the Church with the help of my Pastor and his Wife since then for my security and safety. I lost my Mother when I was only 8 years and since then my Father took me so special and make sure that I do not lack anything until his sudden death by the Rebels and since then I have been suffering from hand to mouth.

As the bank manager advised that I should be careful of who I give information to and also advised that I should keep this transaction very confidential between me and you alone till you recieve the fund in your account, well he said he will explain to you when you contact him. Please I need your Full name,address,phone and fax if any, because the bank will need this and me also because it is necessary to have this information and also to present to the bank as the reciever of the fund and a business partner to my late father.

Please I await this information so that I can go ahead to inform the bank of you and also send you the bank contact so that you can contact them regarding the transfer. Please note that I am relying on trust and honesty that you will be sincere and honest in this transaction.

Please note also that immediatly you recieve the money in your account you will help me come over and settle down in your country. I beg God in his guidance and direction through this transcation.

Thanks

Mirabel Milan.

Thank you, unregistered, for posting these examples of a 419 scam. Funny, isn't it, that King George Milan's offspring need to go asking strangers on the internet for help in getting Daddy's millions out of the country?

I've taken the swift and telex numbers to pass on to any authority they'd be useful to.

Thanks again,

WHAT WAS THE FRAUD? WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU GIVE THE BANK INFORMATION FOR THE MONEY TRANSFER?, WHAT IS THE RISK OF ACCEPTING THE MONEY TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT?

WHAT WAS THE FRAUD? WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU GIVE THE BANK INFORMATION FOR THE MONEY TRANSFER?, WHAT IS THE RISK OF ACCEPTING THE MONEY TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT?

There are a couple of possibilities...

1. Identity theft -- the scammers use your details to acquire credit cards, bank accounts, etc. In a month or two, you start getting the bills, and have to deal with a bad credit rating.

2. Before the money gets put into your account, there are fees to be paid: lawyers, bank fees, anti-terrorism certificate, anti-money-laundering certificate, ... this goes on and on until you stop paying. The money never actually arrives in your account.

Hi there, Unregistered, and welcome to the board. Unfortunately many of these scammers are in Nigeria and arrests there are few and far between. We have had a very good relationship with the South African police in the past, and many scammers have been arrested in that country. As time goes on and they become more successful, some of them leave their home country and base themselves in places like the United Kingdom, the USA, South Africa, Amsterdam, Ireland, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and various other countries. It is easier to get an arrest in some of these places and the authorities are usually not able to be bribed, so this is much more risky for the scammers.

Hi, I came across this site when doing a bit of research on 419 fraud as another 419 letter has made it past my spam filter. I've noticed that the fraudsters seem to be addressing people by their surnames in an attempt to convince gullible people. How anyone can fall for these I'll never know, so I'm happy to post this to help out in some way.

Do not reply to messages like this or to the following e-mails!

In the plane crash mentioned in this e-mail there were 10 survivors....this guy says there were none. Also, there was only one American on the plane...this guy says there were at least 3. If I was an heir, why would I share the money with him? If he was a banker, why is he using personal e-mail addresses?

This is FRAUD!!!! See below!

Dearest in Christ,

I am Sister Ruth nadia from KUWAIT, I am married to Chief peter nadia. He worked with KUWAIT embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2002 April 26. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late Husband was alive he deposited the sum of $3.8 Million (three Million Eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars)in a Bank on my name as beneficiary of the fund here in Abidjan. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Ã¢â‚¬Å“Blessed is the hand thatÃ¢â‚¬Â givethÃ¢â‚¬Â. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and many of relatives are not Christians and I don't want my our efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that Ã¢â‚¬Å“the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peaceÃ¢â‚¬Â.

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan, and you've to contact them for onward transferring of the fund to your destination. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.

Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on the above e-mail address (ruth_nadia22007@yahoo.fr) and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Sister Ruth nadia

2. I want you to know that God is faithful and he does His things the way He likes. I don't want to trust any relations because they will like to use the advantage of my childlessness to convert the money for their selfish ungodly use. First thing I will demand from you immediately the transfer is done successfylly is to buy a big plot of land for the construction of orphanage home. If you can it to me as a favour, when i die, try to take my corpse and bury me in the orphanage home. Those motherless children in the orphangenage home shall be my children on this earth even if I am dead. I want my spirit to be close to each and every one them until they are successful in life. I am seriously sick and could not write much here. I want to give you the bank contact and wish that you will contact them now. You are free to negotiate the mode of transfer with the bank. God will always lead you through in all your endeavours for taken a wise decission on this matter.

Here is the bank contact
COBACI Bank Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire
Director; Mr Claude Amicha
Email: cobacib@excite.com
Tel/fax +22521360734

While contacting the bank, let them know that I directed you to contact them for the transfer of all the money in my husband's account to your account. That I confided the money on you for distribution to charitable organisation and to help the church and the poor. Remember that my husband name is Mr Peter Aubayne Nadia. I will also send an authorization to them after you have contacted them. Hoping to hear from you
Yours

last one....

Dearest,
Thanks again for your email and for your acceptance to assist me in this transaction.I will be happy to meet you soon in your country immediately after this transfer.
I am very happy to found such a nice person like you.
I went to the bank this morning and I have tried to explained to the bank Director about you and regarding this transfer while the bank Director told me that before the transfer to your account,that you have to call him first so that he can explain things better for you regarding this transaction and on how this transaction will take place to your account.

I will like you to call the bank as they instructed so that the bank Director can explain to you better about this transaction and you can also ask him things about this transaction.

Things have been very tough for me since the death of my late father and my major problem which I will like you to understand is that my late father deposited this money for me with a bank in a fixed deposited account and he made an agreement with the bank that he can only access this money starting from the year 2009 before his untimely death,for this reason,the bank told me that nobody will have access to this money unless it is transfer to a new account of a new beneficiary due to the agreement which they made with my late father.
But regarding the transfer,contact the bank where this money was deposited by my late father and ask them on how they are going to transfer it into your account ok.
Here is the contact of the bank:

Bank Name:COBACI BANK

Compagnie Bancaire de l'Atlantique Cote d'Ivoire

Bank Email: cobaci.abidjanci@voila.fr

Bank Tel: +22502726339
Bank Fax: +225 2127 9686

Bank Director :Dr.Dominic Amah
The bank told me that they are going to start the transfer immediately they hear from you .
So please try to do your possible best to help me out.
I will give you more details whenever I hear back from you after your might have called the bank .
Show me your interest to help me out.
The amount is US$5.2million.

just call the bank and explain to them like this..

Actually ,my situation is very tough here since after the death of my parents and I am looking forward for God's help and your urgent help to come out from this bad situation that I am living.
Presently,I don't have money to send to you because my late father deposited this money for me in fixed deposit account.

God bless you for your kindness.
Nadege Thomas

After a few e-mail... trying to convince me, I received this;
Dear Saint,

Good day once again.As I earlier promised you, I do attach the documents that covers this my inheritnace for your reviewal and proof. Meanwhile, I will be calling you later in the day as also promised.

Thanks,

Patricia.

And of course she sent a copy of her late father's will and another certificate to confirm that at the time of her late father's deposit of 3,500,000.00 on her name... and, her latest e-mail

Below is the name and the contact of the bank where this money was deposited by my late father. I want you to contact the bank director in order for him to furnish you more with their transfer proceedures as I have this morning introduced you to the bank as my foriegn partner to whom this my inheritance will be transfered to,for an investment in your country.

Bank :name: COBACI: COMPAGNIE BANCAIRE DE L'ATLANTIQUE COTE D'IVOIRE
(Agency COBACI Abidjan )

Bank Email: ........................... coba_ci@africamail.com
Bank Website…………………www.cobaci.ci
Bank address………………………… Immeuble Alpha 2000,Rue Gourgas,Plateau 01 BP 522 Abj.
Direct number……………………………..+225 46323015
Bank Director’s name............................Mr. George Ngodi

What makes me wonder;
If all these are indeed frauds and all that goes with it...
These people must have some kind of an account there yes ?
And if that is indeed the case; why the bank itself does not do anything to stop it all ?
Unless of course the bank is IN on it...

First of all, the so-called "bank email" isn't. It's a free, anonymous webmail account set up by the scammers so they can impersonate the bank.

The URL looks ok, but you don't write to a website, and that's given to add an air of authenticity. The phone number is a prepaid mobile number provided by MTN of Cote d'Ivoire - have you ever heard of a Bank's direct line being a cellphone??

The bank don't know anything about it. And there will be no bank transfers involved; the criminals will suddenly switch midstream and tell you that fees have to be paid first, and these MUST be paid through Western Union... and the scam begins; one alleged "fee" after another, one sorry excuse after another, all costing the victim more cash via WU transfer... and all of it gone for good.

That's how these types of scam work.
