Another scam email to beware of.

Dear Beneficiary

I am Peter Douglas Director Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agent in Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport Atlanta GA. We are rounding up for the last Quater of the auditing, all abandom Consignment in US Airports are being transfer to our facilities here for inspection and confiscation. During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment on your name which was transferred to our facility here in Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money, rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Diplomatic Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, the boxes will contain more that $6M and the consignment is still left in storage facility till today. The Consignment is a metal box with weight of about 242LBS (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.)Approximately.

The details of the consignment including your name the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.

I want to use my good office and clear the Consignment and deliver it to you. If you W I L L A C C E P T M Y C O N D I T I O N A N D want us to transact the delivery for mutual benefit, you should provide your name, Phone Number and full address, to cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport around you and other details. You should send the required details to me for onward delivery.


All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and p r o c e e d to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you will give me 30% of the amount contained in the boxes and i must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before i will proceed.


I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the shipper have abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, Once i am through, i will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company to provide the security it needs to your doorstep. or i can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But i will share it 70% to you and 30% to me. But you have to assure me of my 30%. do respond to me if you are interested to conclude this with me.



Looking forward to hear from you

Best Regards,

Peter Douglas

I'm a little confused here. Does "assure" mean pre-payment? I would gladly give my word that I will share 30% once I have the cash in hand! It must mean pre-payment, because otherwise he would be taking all the risk. Not very well written, IMO. Also, of course, if he has the money in his possession, why in the world would he then offer to give most of it away? Anyone who would fall for this has to have a low IQ.

SCAM e-mails like this land in my SPAM box every day. The latests one was this:


From: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal <"www."@eagle.ocn.ne.jp>
Date: 6 June 2017 at 01:38
Subject: Your Urgent Reply Needed.
To:

I know it will be a great surprise reading from me today but consider this a divine intervention as Imam explained to my understanding, My name is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, A philanthropist, the CEO and Chairman of alwaleed philanthropies a Charitable Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the world. I am also the Chairman of Kingdom Holding Company which investments ranges from luxury hotels, including The Four Seasons Savoy Hotel in London, and media, such as News Corp and Time Warner.

I believe strongly in‘giving while living’ I had one idea that never changed in my mind, that you should use your wealth to help people and your religion should not make you deprive the needies be you Christian or Muslim and i have decided to donate $5Billion Dollars to randomly selected individuals worldwide each person receiving {$1,800,000.00} One Million Eight Hundred Thousand United Dollars only, I am making this donation in order to build a better world of tolerance, acceptance, equality and opportunity for all and also I wished to contribute to the elimination of poverty and famine, and to support development, health and education in the most deprived communities. The beneficiaries will spend the money on developing communities, providing disaster relief and supporting women and young people in there community. On receipt of this email, you should count yourself as the lucky individual. Your email address was chosen online while searching at random. Kindly Contact my Secretary in London Mrs.Nadia Bakhurji at your earliest convenience with the following details so she will know your email address is valid.You can Google me visiting my website bellow: http://www.nakhweh.org/en/organizations/566-Alwaleed-bin-Talal-Charitable-Foundation

Your Full name______
Your Address_______
Your Country_____
Your Age________
Your Sex_______
Your Phone number___

E-mail: secretarynadiabakhurji02222@outlook.com

Warmest Regards,
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal


Given that my name figure in my e-mail address I wonder why I wasn't addressed by it. Also you can see that the e-mail originates in Japan ("www."@eagle.ocn.ne.jp) and he asks for replies be sent to an outlook address rather than his own domain: @alwaleed.com.sa. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a genuine Saudi Arabian billionaire philanthropist (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/03/alwaleed-bin-talal-meet-the-saudi-prince-giving-away-all-his-money) but the person or persons who wrote this e-mail is/are definitely not he.

With regard to that Japanese e-mail address, it seems to appear with monotonous regularity (with slight variations) in SCAM e-mails these days and I have suspicions that it might be a domain specifically set up for the purpose of sending out SCAMS.

That often? You have my sympathies. Somehow you got on someone's sucker list. Do you remember when, or how? It might help out the rest of us. Also, it does not say how much money you have to send them first, so they must have some "hook" with which to snag gullible callers when they call. I'd be curious to find out exactly what they say, but, obviously, not interested enough to call myself.

Do you think someone would actually fall for this with all the spelling errors and ludicrous, unbelievable scenario? I guess it is possible. You received this email? Thanks for the warning.

The whole story is stupid. I also thought the assurance was to come in the form of cash. That would be $1,800,000. I can not believe anybody would send this much to anybody so I'm sure this guy would be content with personal info along with banking info.

The problem is that I know somebody with dementia/Alzheimer's that fell for one of these. He told her the next day that he was leaving her with lots of cash. Their bank accounts were emptied before she could call the bank. His wife was still dealing with the aftermath of that disaster for a couple of years after his death. (No she did not kill him)

Vulnerable Adults do fall for these scams. I think it is a good conversation to warn anybody that may be thinking about responding to any strange emails. If these people did not find victims they would stop.

The objective of all of these SCAM e-mails is to get hold of your bank account details. If I am on a sucker's list I have no idea when nor how. I asiduously report SCAMs to the appropriate domains; Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook etc. and if I don't know where to report them I look them up with http://abuse.net/lookup.phtml
