Fraud email example:
From: citizenonline2055 <citizenonline2055@gmail.com>
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 13:11:44 +0100
Subject: Urgent Information.
*From Citizens Bank Int'l London
103 Richmond Avenue, SW5 9LT
London United-Kingdom.
Attn: Beneficiary,
We have been instructed to contact you in respect of your outstanding
payment of $4.8 million U.S Dollars. Your funds have been deposited
with us and we hereby advise you to come forward to our office in
London to receive your payment or, choose from the 3 options I'll give
you below. The first option is that you will come to our office in
London where you will receive your payment on the spot. In this case,
you have to prepare to meet us personally and receive your money.
The second option is cash payment through diplomatic process. Under
this arrangement, two foreign diplomats will deliver the cash to you
inside a box containing your money and it will be declared as
"DIPLOMATIC BAGGAGE". The Box will be declared as Photographic
materials & Personal Effects to allow the Diplomats receive pass from
customs and immigration at the airport in your country. By so doing,
the consignment will be covered by diplomatic immunity while the 2
diplomats will meet you in your country and deliver the box to you.
NOTE: The two diplomats WILL NOT KNOW the contents of the box for
security reasons or else, they may divert your money. Bear in mind
that you need identification card before the diplomats will handover
the box to you. I'll give you the secret pin code to open the box as
soon as the diplomats take-off from London. You have to keep the pin
code secret and wait for the arrival of the box. You will also pay a
Clearance/Customs fee at the airport in your country through the
diplomats to enable them clear the parcel for you.
Incase, you cannot meet up with the two options I gave you above, then
you MUST be prepared to pay a little fee to obtain a Clearance
Certificate in your name from the office of European Anti-Drug &
Terrorist Agency (EATA) which the Bank of England (BOE) will request
from you before they will allow us to transfer the funds to your bank
account directly. Apart from this, there is no way this funds will be
transferred to your bank account because, the EATA office must clear
the funds from anything related to Drug Business or, Anti-Terrorist
activities before they allow us to make the transfer to your bank
account as this is a large sum of money involved. Let me know whether
you understood everything I've explained to you and the option you
choose. Remember to re-confirm the following details to us in your
response.
NOTE: CONTACT OUR BANK THROUGH THIS e-mail: citize_nonline1888@yahoo.com

Mr. G.B Williams*
