#Scams #MoneyLaundering
Well! I had heard a lot about these frauds in which we get an sms or mail saying you have won millions of dollars or pounds and saying its urgently required that you should deposit some amount of money in their account. Do you guys really think that we can get such a huge amount of money without even participating in any kinda contest?
Nothing is free in this world, you have to earn by working hard except if you were born with a silver spoon. Well! exceptions are always there. Coming to the point, I have to share my experience with this kinda fraud that has recently happened with me.
Just a week before a received a mail from someone named as Mr. Roy Peterson, he just wrote "hello! I am ill, I have a project for you". When I read it I thought what kinda mail is it without any explanation about what type of project is it. Actually it was a strategy to make the reader curious to reply back asking what the project is about, clever thinking right? Anyone at my place would have replied to him its just normal, so did I. I asked him what kinda project is it. He replied me with this huge surprise gift wanting to shower his hard earned money a sum of $4.5 Million US Dollars on me instead giving to his relatives, sounds weird!
Take a look at the mail..
Below
is my lawyer's contact. Make correspondence with him officially while I
shall discuss with him in details on my check up time. He will help you
secure the funds from the bank in case I die soon.
He even attached his picture sitting on a chair using laptop with some machine attached to him. Amazing isn't it?

I was surprised with this, thinking I should resign my job now and just enjoy my life with a hell lot of money traveling around the world without any tension, just kidding :-P
I knew it was scam but still I wanted to gather whole information from him because he didn't asked for any money from me, so I made a contact with his lawyer Barrister Paul Roland asking him about the procedure to transfer Mr. Roy's will and with a quick reply he banged a mail asking my details. Take a look.

I sent him the details he asked for and he straight away came to the point which I was waiting for. He sent me another mail saying that Mr. Roy Peterson is no more, he failed to survive in his surgery. I knew this was going to happen for sure and after that he told that your documents are approved by high court so you just have to come over ivory coast within 4 days to do all the formalities bringing $950 USD for some application purpose otherwise bank will seize the account. $950 USD? I was like "are you kidding me?" Well! I guess he knew most of his targets will ask for an alternative option so he did gave an option of sending money to him through wire transfer in case I wouldn't be able to make it to ivory coast within 4 days.
I told him i don't have that much money and all the excuses I had in my mind, so he told me you can arrange half of that money and the rest balance I will pay for you which you can pay me back after you get that donation money transferred to your account. I told him that i don't even have that much and if he is willing to pay half money for me then why not he pays the whole amount by himself which i will pay him back after I will get my money, I told him I will give you double of your money for helping me but he refused saying I even don't have that much money. He told me to arrange half money and tel him whenever I am ready to transfer that money so that he can provide a bank account number in which I can transact the amount. I told him that you can give me the account number right now and I will deposit the money whenever I get arrangement but he told me you can tell me whenever you are ready and I will provide you the phone number of my branch member available near by your city. I told him okay I will let you know. Mean while I asked him to send me a copy of Mr. Roy's last will so that I can show it to my family and ask them for money. I thought maybe he didn't planned about this one but no I was wrong, with in no time he sent me an attachment containing the will of Mr. Roy. Man! They really are professionals. Well! I don't think that we have to pay anything during the will transfer formality.
This post was made to aware you all guys who maybe don't know the consequences of getting trapped in these types of scams. Its a gang of professionals who keep trying to trap innocent peoples to get into their pockets. Once you give them money, poof! They will be gone and you will not get a single reply from them as they got what they wanted and you are not going to get a single penny back. Don't let these people enjoy your hard earned wealth. I posted this because it is the latest idea they are using for scamming.
Beware be safe and share this post with your family and friends to make them aware too.
See you guys soon with a new post.
Take Care!! :)
