 Known Scams     

         IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF ANY OTHER SCAM, 

PLEASE SEND DETAILS.

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

It has been reported on the Internet that several scams are being tried; many originating from various countries in Africa, but also from other countries around the world.

-------------

One scam in particular asks for your bank details to transfer excess funds from a large contract in an African country  to your account, which you then forward to the sender of the Email less a very large commission. The Email indicates that these funds are being siphoned off from the contract illegally, and plays upon the greed of the recipient.
What happens is that the sender cleans out your bank account. 
Several people have been left with egg on their faces, trying to explain why they were willing to participate in a fraud.

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

Another scam, to which more people have fallen victim is the stolen or worthless banker's draft in which high value goods are paid for by stolen banker's draft, which leaves the unfortunate vendor with neither goods or money.
Always check with the issuing bank before parting with your goods, by asking for details of the draft before the potential purchaser arrives at your premises.
They usually arrive at a weekend (as do most people ) when the Banks are closed and you are unable to check.
Often the draft is for more than the price of the goods and you are asked for the balance which is then pocketed by the "purchaser" and you are left with a worthless draft or cheque and no goods.

I've been contacted by a man in South Africa, wanting to buy my horse which
is for sale on your site.  I've asked him for a bankers draft, which he says
he can do as his associates in England owe him some money.  They are to pay
the full amount that they owe him, to me and then I arrange to transfer the
excess to either him or his shipping agents

Received 14 July    Sick ??

My name is Mr Nelsan lumberg a member of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland. ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which have remained dormant since World War II.
It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of dormant accounts originally opened by non-Swiss citizens. These accounts had been dormant since the end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged to Holocaust victims.
The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of additional dormant accounts - 54,000 in December,99 
The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts, securities accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. Numbered accounts are also included. Interest is paid on accounts that were interest bearing when established.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A dormant account of ORDNER ADELE with a credit balance of 45,000,000 US dollar plus  accumulated interest was discovered by me. The beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of heirs.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of Switzerland government as provided by the law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no wills).
Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked in the Cayman Island, being a tax free, safe haven for funds and we can share the funds and use in investment of our choice.
Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a foreigner to HELP claim the funds. All that is required is for you to provide me with your details for processing of the necessary legal and administrative claim documents for transfer of the funds to you.
Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. I will pay all required fees to ensure that the fund is transferred to a secure, numbered account in your name in the Cayman Island, of which you will be capable of accessing the funds gradually and transferring to your country and other banks of choice in the world. My share will be 60
percent and your share is 40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS NO
RISK INVOLVED.
You can find additional information about unclaimed funds through the
internet at the following websites:
www.swissbankclaims.com
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/9902/09/germany.holocaust/
www.avotaynu.com www.icheic.org www.livingheirs.com www.wiesenthal.com
The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has put funds in Escrow awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.
I find myself priviledged to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for a life time of success without risks.
Due to security reasons, reply to my via email only. You may reply to me securely on the following email,nelsan@email.cz   or    ngrunjer@email.cz Thank you for your prompt response.
Mr Nelsan
