The below email was sent to me this morning if anyone here gets one this guy is a fraud and con artist. I am right now looking for the bureau to foreward it to then I want to see if anyone does anything about it or are they gonna just warn people and not even look for this guy. I feel the reason these scammers are out there is because it's like a free enterprise because no one does anything about it.

Attn:

With due respect, please don't be surprised or afraid to receive
this type of mail from me. I am Barrister Hawan UMAH, a
personal resident Attorney to Al-Atta Kwabena, a Lebanese
businessman who died with his wife and only daughter in the
event of plane crash occurred in Benin Republic, December
26, 2003. Al-Atta Kwabena left total sum of Six Million Two
hundred thousand united state dollars ($6.2m USD) in his
bank account here in Burkina Faso.

I have made several enquiries to locate any of his relatives but
to no avail and hence nobody is available for the claim, I am
looking for a dependable individual that I can trust, someone
who is honest and capable enough to carry out this transaction
with diligent to the best of his/her ability to collaboration and
transfer the money from the bank custody before end of next
month. Besides, the bank officials are treating to confiscate
the fund to bank treasury as unclaimed bill because the
banking rules and regulations stipulate that if such amount
remain unclaimed after five (5) years the only option is to
confiscate to bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request of foreigner to collaboration and penetrate the
fund is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and Burkinabe is unacceptable to stands next of kin
to any foreigner here in my country.

Meanwhile, to enable the immediate transfer of the fund as
indicated, you must apply first to the bank as next of kin by
indicating your bank information where the money would be
remitted. You may be interested to know that I have all the
necessary legal documents to backup the claim if you accept
the proposal.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this
deal through. I guarantee that this would be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any
branch of law. Hope you will welcome this life opportunity, if
so. Then furnish me with the following requirement for easy

together with text of application to fill and tender to the bank
for the transfer. Note that you will entitle with 35% from the
total value after the transfer.

These scam artists must have takers, or they would be out of business. Do you get how they seem to be resilient from the feds? I don't.

Ready?

Here's a scam a local store here in NJ was doing:

I bought three $5 scratch-off lottery tickets once (it's a good way to pass the time when you are early for an appointment) but I noticed that the small serial number portion was scatched off on two of them. The game portion was fully in tact though. Now had I been a trusting senior citizen, who didn't used to own a computer consulting company, they might have gotton over on me, and they probably have gotten over on many people that don't realize that the store owner only needs to type in this code to see if the ticket s a winner or not (no need to expose the game part at all). So the store owner, was selling tickets she had already ruled-out as losing tickets!
I reported it to the lottery commission, because I felt bad for all the people who didn't catch what they were doing, and were scammed.
The lottery commission didn't know what to do about it. The store owner did admit to selling them, but made up a story on how her husband scratched the code off and she didn't know. The commissioner didn't really believe her story. The commissioner called me and actually told me they would leave it up to me, if they could keep their lottery machine or have the commission remove it from their store. I didn't want to be the bad guy, so I just recommended a warning. Who knows how long they were getting away with that though???

If you or me tried it I bet the FBI would be knocking on our door the next day. These guys are good at what they do their using hacked E-mails pay as you go phones everything that is next to impossible to trace to them. There are so many scammers law enforcement don't have the resources to track them down. If they would only zero in on a few it might send a message out there. Like you might be next.

I think I will post the lottery story on my blog too....I am curious to know if anyone else here buys the tickets and notices the code scratched off. They just make it too easy for them to get away with it.

Retired New York City Police Officer. When I started my career I went into the New York City Correction Dept. I did 2 years and 2 months there and transferred to NYCPD. I learned a lot working there but the overtime at the time was nuts. I entered PD I was 29 years old so maybe that helped keep me out of trouble. I am very open and not afraid to tell all now. I retired in 1999. I was married but divorced in 1995 and no it wasn’t due to my job LOL. I am happily living with a wonderful woman now in Queens.
