E-Mail Fraud Alert The Perspective Atlanta, Georgia October 29, 2003 Since the late 90s, The Perspective has received this type of e-mails from individuals who claimed to be relatives of Mobutu, Abacha, Savimbi, etc. Now, it appears that Liberians have joined this criminal scheme. Recently, e-mails supposedly from Chucky Taylor and another person by the name of "John Massaquoi", who claims to be the son of the late Francois Massaquoi were brought to our attention. In order to make this fraud scheme appear credible, the so-called John Massaquoi referenced an article that The Perspective published when Francois Massaquoi died (http://www.theperspective.org/massaquoi.html). In view of the above, the management of The Perspective would like to alert our readers and those who may receive such e-mails that The Perspective is in no way, shape or form, associated with, nor connected to this scam. We, therefore, urge our readers and those who may fall prey to this criminal activity not to reveal their personal information to these criminals. The Management of The Perspective

102. American Experience | Marcus Garvey | Special Features Online Forum Marcus Garvey and mail fraud, previous 12 of 15 next. Did Garvey commit mail fraud? Peter Spencer. Answered by Barbara http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/garvey/sfeature/sf_forum_12.html

Online Forum: Marcus Garvey and Mail Fraud 12 of 15 Did Garvey commit mail fraud? Peter Spencer Answered by Barbara Bair: Garvey's conviction on a charge of mail fraud was basically a technicality. As Garvey put it in a speech at Liberty Hall in New York on 20 May 1923, the mail fraud case against him "involves not Marcus Garvey but the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (U.N.I.A.) . The ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are on trial." Before settling on a mail fraud charge, government officials who were looking for an angle to use to challenge the UNIA on a legal basis had explored other possible avenues for prosecuting Garvey, including income tax evasion. The mail fraud charge they actually settled on stemmed from the purchase of Black Star Line Negro World _ newspaper of a new ship which had been dubbed the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley. While these ads included photographs of the ship and promises of its impending launching and travel to Africa, the Black Star Line, Inc., had not actually completed negotiations for the purchase of the ship at the time the advertisements were run, and indeed, was having great difficulty guaranteeing payment. It was a Catch-22 situation for the UNIAthe sale of stock was needed to raise the funds necessary to fully complete the transaction that would legally transfer the ownership and operation of the ship to the Black Star Line, but at the same time, the UNIA did not officially own the ship in question for which it was issuing stock.

Four of those detained were Nigerian, one was Cameroonian and the sixth was South African. Police in South Africa believe that the six are part of an international fraud and drug-dealing cartel, sending out thousands of e-mail and letters in an attempt to defraud. Police seized a large amount of drugs, as well as computer equipment and false identification papers. According to published reports from South Africa, officers from the UK's Scotland Yard were also involved in the operation. A Metropolitan police spokesman was unable to confirm this, however.

Nigeria - The 419 Coalition Website We Fight the Nigerian Scam with Education We track visitors. The Nigerian Scam Defined A Five Billion US$ (as of 1996, much more now) worldwide Scam which has run since the early 1980's under Successive Governments of Nigeria. It is also referred to as "Advance Fee Fraud", "419 Fraud" (Four-One-Nine) after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria, and "The Nigerian Connection" (mostly in Europe). However, it is usually called plain old "419" even by the Nigerians themselves. The Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax, email, or letter often concerning Nigeria or another African nation containing either a money laundering or other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and Legitimate business proposal by normal means . Common variations on the Scam include "overinvoiced" or "double invoiced" oil or other supply and service contracts where your Bad Guys want to get the overage out of Nigeria; crude oil and other commodity deals; a "bequest" left you in a will; "money cleaning" where your Bad Guy has a lot of currency that needs to be "chemically cleaned" before it can be used and he needs the cost of the chemicals; "spoof banks" where there is supposedly money in your name already on deposit; "paying" for a purchase with a check larger than the amount required and asking for change to be advanced; fake lottery 419; and ordering items and commodities off "trading" sites on the web and then cheating the seller.

While that's good, because it lets you find us, it also gets us on some great spam/scam mailing lists. For the next few issues, we're going to examine some existing and potential email scams so that you can see what they are and why they sometimes work. We're going to start with a classic, the "Nigerian Letter." This has been around since at least 1987, but the advent of email and the cheapness of spam has made it spread further and faster, so it's actually becoming a better deal for the scamsters. In 1997, the U.S. government estimated that U.S. citizens alone were losing over $300 million a year to this scam. Some investors you would consider to be "real achievers" have been bitten hard by this one. One guy spent $5.2 million dollars and sued the Central Bank of Nigeria for the funds in U.S. Court before he realized he'd been scammed. How do they do it? The basic concept is that the scamster offers big bucks, in the millions, that he can obtain only with the victim's help. The reasons range from overbilled funds that can be recovered for oil or commodities, through mislaid bank deposits to the fruits of outright bribery and corruption.

As soon as I read the "DEAR FRIEND" of the first e-mail, I knew it was a scam, but for fun I decided to mislead the criminal into believing that I was falling for his scam. You can read the exchange of e-mails following. This type of fraud is known as the Nigerian Fee scam. In this fraud, the criminal sends you an unsolicited message claiming to have millions of dollars, but he needs your help to secure it, and for your efforts, he will give you a large percentage of it. Unfortunately, gullible people do fall for this scam. Hopefully this page will alert more people and make criminals like "Mike" less successful.

He seems to be confused about his name. First he says, "I AM PETER COAL, I REPRESENT...", but he ends the message with "MIKE ABA". Actually, "Mike" is such an incompetent scammer that he sent me 2 copies of the above e-mail with 2 different names, one from "OBI AZUKA, obiazuka@mail.com" and the other from "MIKE ABA, mikeaba@mail.com", and both with "I AM PETER COAL".

113. KYR August 2002-Advanced Fee Scams The Minnesota Attorney General's office describes how the scheme works, and tells businesses, nonprofits, and individuals what they can do if they receive an offer through the mail to transfer money out of a foreign country. http://www.ag.state.mn.us/consumer/kyr/KYR_Aug02.htm

MN AGO Home Charities Office Classroom ... Utilities August 2002: Avoid Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud M innesota businesses and consumers continue to receive letters, faxes and e-mails from Nigeria and other countries for supposed business propositions as part of a long running scam. For example, an alleged Nigerian citizen may request the use of your bank account to transfer money into the United States or ask for you to send money with the promise of future payback. The scam has run rampant through the United States for many years. The Attorney General warns businesses, non-profits, and individuals to be especially vigilant, as they are often targeted for this scam. How the Scheme Works You receive a typewritten letter on official-looking stationery that is generically addressed to a business owner or individual. Letters are usually marked "urgent" or "confidential" and postmarked from Nigeria or another foreign country. The letter, signed by a supposed government official or business executive, outlines a "confidential business proposal" that you can use to make millions of dollars. The offer claims you can make a commission of 20-40 percent for assisting with the transfer of certain funds. Your bank account number is requested to complete the transaction. The Bottom Line: You Lose If you fall for this scam, you could lose money several different ways. First, you will be asked to pay "legal fees," "taxes," "government bribes," "personal expenses," or other fees. The constant request for money to cover all of these "fees" has exhausted the resources of some victims. Second, your bank account may be drained of money. Third, you may be invited to travel to Nigeria or a bordering country to finalize the transfer of funds. Once there, you will be pressured to pay additional fees and expenses. Several victims who traveled abroad reported that the shakedown took some menacing turns, causing them to fear for their personal safety.

And you’re going to be wealthy as a result of your help? Don’t get excited or tell your boss to go to hell or start planning a round-the-world cruise – it’s a scam. This particular scam is called the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud or “419 Fraud” (after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria). The scammers will ask you to arrange a bank account in your name that will then be used to transfer the millions of dollars they have available. For this simple service they will promise you a percentage of the millions. The crunch comes when some last minute hitch is thrown into the equation; money is needed by the bank for setting up a new account, cash is needed by the lawyer to draw up some papers or the security company holding the money puts in a last minute request for demurrage or handling and administration fees. You are asked to provide the money that, of course, will be refunded out of the huge amount being transferred into your bank account.

Privacy Statement University of Dayton Crime Prevention Program E-mail and Computer Fraud Information A significant number of University of Dayton community members have received e-mail propositions promising large sums of money in exchange for some minimal assistance from the recipient. These e-mails are usually from a foreign interest claiming some astronomical amount of money is temporarily in the hands of an ex-official of the government and is not immediately committed to anyone or anything, but the money needs to be exported to a foreign bank quickly in order to secure it for the holder. The recipient is offered as much as 1/3 of the entire amount just for providing an account for the money to be deposited in. Some of these e-mails list very emotional circumstances to make the recipient feel good about being able to help. Of course, there is no money.

There have been many such schemes run on people to date and many have lost everything they owned. None of these schemes ever pays off to anyone.

The Web site of a North Carolina county Republican organization today removed a link to another site with anti-Islamic statements after receiving criticism from a Muslim group. The Guilford County Republican Party's site, guilfordgop.org, includes the usual color photographs of Senator-elect Elizabeth Dole and President Bush, and election information and meeting schedules.
