How Are You ?

I am Dr.Usman Bello the trustee and financial manager to late Mr.Aziz Mustafa. I am also the present Foriegn Remittance Department Manager of African development bank, Cotonou branch, Republic of Benin.

I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you as a result of what I presently have at hand.On 25th December 2003, Mr.Aziz Mustafa, a Lebanese investor in Cotonou, Republic of Benin was among the plane crash victims of Boeing 727-type, Air plane of African Transport Union (UTA) crashed on 26th December 2003 at the Fidjrosse beach Cotonou Republic of Benin. 111 persons died, the Beirut-bound flight victims are mostly Lebanese nationals and few westerners. Over 40 others still reported missing as at then, while 22 passengers survived.

Shortly after his death, his relatives arrived Cotonou Republic of Benin and I handed over every of his other accounts information within African development bank ascept this very account file I withheld to divert the sum.

I seek your consent to present you as Next of kin to the deceased so that the sidetracked Account valued at 15.5 Million Euro (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Euro) of late Mr. Aziz Mustafa could be remitted to your account as his Next of Kin, and then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage. You can aswell go through the websit bellow:

All I require from you is your honest co-operation and trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. To enable us discuss further about this transaction, do contact me.

I await your urgent response through my private email: [protected]@hotmail.com

Are the requirements to provide for the people in your country also a scam? - The ADB has the money to buy goods to provide for the people there. Sending money there to retrieve a so-called inheritance fund from strangers is the scam in itself. Some people take the money and buy themselves riches. Others work to assist in efforts to save lives and improve global balance. Depends what motivation is there. If everything is supposed to be a donation or give-away, why bother? If I have to pay people and get scammed just to do the work, I certainly draw the line now. Bye bye West Africa.

I had a similar email today, written by an Ike Simon, supposedly Chief Auditor of African Development Bank, Cotonou, Benin Republic.
On average I receive at least 2 per day, all offering ludicrous amount of 'lost money!' I report them to servers but little is done! They change their addresses & carry on! I also check them out, just Google the Institution they claim to represent then send an inquiry as to if this person actually works there, or go onto 419 Scam baiter site, type in their name/email address, it is quite an experience! Always remember..if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Never send these people ANY money!

Here is the latest scam from this person/group where I was contacted on Facebook:

This is Barrister Manny Oseiobot, I have tried all avenue to get in touch with you but something said i should try on face book. This is to inform you that the inheritance claim($15million) we have been processing since 2007 with African Development bank Republic of Benin as it concern your deceased relative Mr. John Moses had been approved

What is required now is to make presentation and have the fund transferred as planned earlier. Get back to me with your new contact details via my email manny_delaw@yahoo.com and call me now on +229 [protected] when you have done so.

So very glad to reestablish contact with you.

Regards,

Barrister Manny Oseiobot

I replied that he had the wrong Moses...

His reply:

My dear Sister,

This might sound unobtainable but for the fact that I have been pursuing this inheritance claim for two years plus and for me to have a notice that we can now file in for the claims and back out will be a slight on my legal profession.
I wish to ask you to stand in as the inheritor of this fund as you bear the same name with my deceased client who actually willed this money to a MARY POWELL MOSES. If you consent I also propose we share 50/40 while 10% will be set aside for any expenses incurred by both of us.
This is an opportunity for us to change the destiny of our generations, as all modalities to have it done lies in the documents in my possession
Get back ASAP

These mails up there are real, I get on average 2 to 4 a week myself. Everybody knows about it around the world and most of people who keep themselves update and are a bit smart know that they are fake and really how stupid is that?
Sending out money to somebody you don't know because you yourself are probably looking for easy opportunity. I wouldn't do that even if I was sure, deep in my brain that It's a real opportunity and there wasn't that much of awareness about the so called "AFRICAN MAIL"
You should know those names are not Benin's. Those are nigerian framing beninois who are usually loyal people. Every one should be careful before sending cash to anybody u don't really know.

I received correspondence from this idiot about my inheritance money from someone I did not even know. The sad part is that I know people that believe this could be something real and they start sending them processing fees that amount to several hundred thousands, my husband did to a group working with Proff. Charles C. Soludo and William cowen... Please never answer to any of this correspondence, you will regret it. Following is his latest correspondence.
