Dear friend,
 
It will be a surprise for you to receive this mail, welcome this letter. I am (Dr. Idrissa Ahmed), The Director of the Accounts & Auditing Dept, At the Bank of Africa Burkina Faso Ouagadougou- West Africa.
 
With due respect I Have Decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be Benefit both of us. At the Bank's Last Accounts/Auditing Evaluations, my staffs Came Across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of an Airline Crash On 6th Nov 2002.
 
Since the deceased was unable to run this account since his Death. The Account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by The Client. Since his demise, nobody, not even the members of his family have applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit Account until we discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client Foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to File Claims over the money. As the director of the dept, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. With the few personnel in my Dept, we decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out Of the Bank and out of the country too.   
 
The total amount in the accounts is (US$7.5M) without positions as staffs of the bank, we are handicapped because we cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonfire claim over this money. While we were contemplating on what to Do, a Friend of mine who works with the chamber of commerce and industry recommended your personality to me advised I should ask you for Help to Transfer this money out of the country. The client is a foreign national And You will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you With All the necessary information's and bank data to assist you in being able to Transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred into.
 
I and my partners have decided to give away forty (40%) to you for Your Assistance and ten (10%) for any expenses that might arise during the Transaction of this transfer. We want to assure you that this transaction's absolutely risk free since we work in this bank which is why you should Be Confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired. Kindly fill this below information so that I will use them to process next of kin application form, which you will fill and send to my bank for the transfer.

================================================

>>>>> Following is a Hoax! - The 'BURUNDANGA' Chain mail Hoax!

========================================

Subject: Important Information !!!
    

This has been sent originally by a member of the Mumbai police force. Share with everybody you know, particularly your wife, sisters, daughters, nieces, mother, female friends and colleagues.

At a petrol pump, a man came over and offered his services as a painter to a lady filling petrol in her car and left his visiting card. She said nothing but accepted his card out of sheer kindness and got into the car. The man then got into a car driven by another person.

As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odour was on her hand; the same hand with which she had received the card from the person at the service station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.

Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.

This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' (Not known To People So Far but sufficient Information Is available in the Net) and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on a simple card or paper.

Take heed and make sure you don't accept cards when you are alone or from someone on the streets.This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.

        SEND THIS ALERT TO YOUR FRIENDS ...IF YOU CARE FOR THEM.

The e-mail given below is a very recent a fraud/SCAM mail.
It can be classified as a fraud one due to the following reasons:


1) This e-mail is sent from a free e-mail ID - not from an official ID of the company! (videoconindia02@nt.tc)
The domain : nt.tc is a free mail service based on  Microsoft Corporation's Windows Live mail/Hotmail (http://login.live.com).

2) This e-mail asks to "Contact us via Email" on the free e-mail ID - not at any official ID of the company!

3) It ask to deposit "interview security" fee for the interview! Why they would charge a security money from candidates attending their own job interview?!!

4) There a lot of grammatical & logical errors/sub-standard usages in the text of the e-mail!
