FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS For better understanding on how the scamming criminals operate and rob their victims, we have listed corresponding answers to the most prevalent frequently asked questions and sample scams below. Free, with compliments from SSAA Goulburn

Attention Before you check the samples of scam mail (as they appear in emails)
Please read this article about Danger awareness.
This information is from an article to provide awareness about the
latest serious lurking dangers, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people.
While driving on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car-seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason,
I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. When I got to my destination, I called the Police and they
were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check.
There are several things to be aware of ... Gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop
their vehicle and get out of the car. There is a gang initiation reported to
the Police where gangs are placing a car-seat by the road, with a fake baby in it, waiting for a woman to stop and check on the
abandoned baby.
Note that the location of this car-seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the woman will be dragged into the woods,
beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
Warning!! DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 0-0-0, REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
Please talk to your loved ones to raise awareness,
If you are driving at night and eggs are thrown at your windscreen, do not stop to check the car, do not operate the wiper and do not
spray any water because eggs mixed with water become milky and block your vision for up to 92% which could force you to stop beside the
road and easily become a victim of these criminals.
This is a new technique used by gangs, there are desperate times where unsavory individuals will take desperate measures to get what they
want. You can help prevent you friends and loved ones not to become victims, asked them to be careful and
to be aware of everything around them. Please be safe.
NEW CREDIT CARD SCAM
This is a slick way by scammers to get the information they want.
The
calling scammer has already the information that is required, he does not ask
you for any other than the only one he has not got. To get it the scam works
like this: "The caller states his name and badge number and the credit
card security company he works for, then continues stating that your card has
been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern and that he is calling to verify
your card details. He asks:" Did you purchase any Telemarketing Device
for $495.99? When you say "no" he will say that they will issue a
credit to your card. If you say "yes" the caller continues by saying
" i need to verify that you are in possession of your card. He'll ask you
to turn the card over and look for a 7 numbers block, of which the first
4 part of your card, the next 3 are the security numbers that verify that you
are in possession of your card. The caller will then ask you to read the three
numbers to him after which he will say that it is correct and that he needed
to ask for them to verify that the card was not lost or stolen and in hand. He
will then ask if you have any questions, if you say "no" the call
thanks you and states that you should not hesitate if you do, and hangs up.
Ones you have complied with the caller's request for the 3 numbers, you will
find that your card has been clocked quite a few purchases to your account.
The scammer succeeded to lure you into giving him the only details he did not
get from scanning cards or otherwise.
Caution: Banks or their security personal will
never ask you for those details on the phone. Be on the alert and do not
comply with any such calls, but instead call your credit card supplier and
tell them the about the call. Identity theft, scams and confidence tricksters
are abundant, hang up on the phone if you have the slightest suspicion.

Below are several samples of scam mail (as they appear in emails)
The scammers constantly try different approaches. Scammers use all manner of approaches and they can be very convincing. Some methods they use could be via a romance, loneliness, lottery, inheritance, or they may use a convincing plea for assistance. Scams are difficult to detect until the victim has parted with their money and the offender is far away.
Do not be shocked if the

Nigerian Scams Explained
Basicaly, the most common claims are: A wealthy foreigner needs your help moving millions of dollars from his homeland to yours and will reward you with a hefty percentage of this fortune if you agree to assist him.Mass Marketed Advance Fee Fraud targets everyone irrespective of age, gender, education or income level. This type of fraud occurs when a person responds to unsolicited email or mail item that promises a large windfall such as a lottery win, an inheritance or a lucrative overseas business opportunity. Individuals who respond initially pay small amounts of money in furtherance of the scheme however this increases over time as the scam develops and the fraudster engages their trust. In some instances the amount of money defrauded can financially cripple victims for life.
The general public tends to trust messages of government authorities and well
known businesses. Fraudsters use cues that make their offer appear legitimate
by using letterheads, official sounding terms and websites that have similar
(but not exact) website addresses to legitimate ones.
Mass Marketed Advance Fee Fraud has proliferated in the online environment
because it offers a cheap mechanism to broadly disseminate the fraudulent
message. This also provides jurisdictional problems for Law Enforcement
agencies and there is little that can be done to recover lost money.

FROM THE DESK OF:MR.BRIAN CAPON
NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK,
LONDON,
UNITED KINGDOM.
briancapon70@netscape.net
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Brian Capon the system and control director at the NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK.I am writing this letter to solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my bank.
Lying in an inactive account is the sum of 11million pounds sterling belonging to a foreign customer(Michael Gambone) who was a gas consultant here in UK,who happens to be deceased during a business trip. He died with his wife(Deborah Gambone) on board the Swissair Flight 111 , which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd 1998.
The news of this crash was on the news which we have notified his relatives to no avail.See links below for more detail informaion:
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/08/swissair.02/
Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of kin to come and claim these fund. To this effect, we can not release the money unless someone applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our banking guideline.
Unfortunately he has no family member in UK or Over-sea who are aware of the existence of the money(as he was a gas consultant.
At this juncture i have decided to do business with you.To this effect I solicit your assistance in applying as the next of kin to the bank then the money will be released to you, as I do not want this money to go into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill, because the banking law and guideline stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed for a period of up to eight years(8yrs),the money will be transferred into
the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.
My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a British cannot stand as next of kin.
40% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner and your assistance to actualise this business,5% for any expenses incured.
Thereafter i will visit your country with your help once the money hits your account for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as agreed,you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased,then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction.
Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you, the text of the application you are to send to the bank,and further clearify you in other issues as toeffect this business.
Awaiting to hear from you urgently.
Best Regards
Mr.Brian Capon.

A different (reversed approach) to lure you to contact the confidence trickster scammer.
CENTRAL
BANK OF NIGERIA
ATTEN: BENEFICIARY, PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you.
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Mallam, Sanusi Lamido,
The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
You are been officially contacted by me today because your Inheritance Funds
were Re-deposited into the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN last
month, because you did not Claim your funds as the rightful beneficiary in
our corresponding bank.
Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all
commercial Banks here in Nigeria This morning at about (9:00am Standard
Pacific Time) I was alerted by my Secretary that Three men and a Lady were at
my Office reception waiting to see me and so I told my Secretary to let them
in.
To my surprise they were two Canadians and one Nigerian Attorney, and they
introduced themselves as (Mr. Tim Parker, Mr. Roland Gulf, both from Canada),
and accompanied with them was a Nigerian Attorney with the name (BARRISTER
LAMBERT EZEKA). And Miss Hellen Rose .
Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was imprompt. I had
to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were
here to Collect the Inheritance Bill Sum which rightfully belongs to you, on
your behalf. These foreigners actually claimed this beyond
reasonable doubts.
At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to Nigeria
for the Collection of this Payment and they told me that you asked them to
come and collect this funds on your Behalf. Infact this was the biggest shock
that this Bank have ever received so far because your Inheritance funds is
still in the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN, yet you sent these
men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf without notifying us.
We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and Collect
your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you Collect your
Inheritance Bill Sum, atleast you should have informed me as the Executive
Governor of this Bank.
They actually tendered some Vital documents which Proved that you actually
sent them for the collection of this Funds. Honestly, it really baffles me
that you took such decision without my consent.
Here are the document which they tendered to this Bank today:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.
Actually, these documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank is a clear
Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally, I told them
to come back by Monday morning and they promised to come back.
As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Funds to
them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first.
Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any mistake in releasing
this funds to anyone except you whom is the recognized bonafide beneficiary to
this Funds.
Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these
foreigners whom came on your behalf.
In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required to call this Bank
immediately you receive this confidential Letter. Call Me +2347032944256
Awaiting your urgent reply through this email address: (dr.mallamsanusilamido@w.cn)
Thanks and God bless.
OFFICIALLY SIGNED.

RE: NEED YOUR COOPERATION TO ACQUIRE DIAMOND MINE.
Dear Partner,
I need a foreign partner to stand as front in
acquiring diamond mining site through the Department of Minerals and
The site is up for sale to prospective diamond merchants, but my family, Chris wants to buy the site, and lease it to mining giants that will be paying commission to us. However, the position of Advocate Sandile Nogxina, as the director general of the Department makes it difficult for our family to acquire the site directly. Even when acquired, we will not manage it to avoid exposing our family in general and the director general in particular for unethical conducts. The deal therefore is to put you forward as the foreign operator acquiring the site and leasing it to mining companies. The lease agreement will be such that the mining company holds 65% stake in the mine, while you will hold 35% stake. The 35% of all earnings from the mine will be divided as follows: 20% for my family and 15% for you. The lease will be for an initial ten year period, renewable for another ten year.
During the first pre-production test mining phase, 4% of the sales value of diamonds produced will be payable to the government. At full production the royalty will increase to 8% of the sales value of diamonds. The royalty will be deducted from the mining company share at all times.
PLEASE DO GET TO ME HERE Email:engeredwinshultz@gala.net,nogxinachris@ymail.com
If you are interested in the deal, reply and I will link you to our attorney representative for further explanation.
Best regards, Nogxina Chris For the family
