SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK

Another fishing mails:
THOMAS CHAKA
SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK
370 CHURCH STREET,PRETORIA 0002
P.O. BOX 92472,PRETORIA, 0001
PRIVATE EMAIL: thomaschaka-at-katamail.com

Dear Friend,

My name is Mr. Thomas Chaka. I work as a senior investment consultant for the South Africa Reserve
Bank. I also work as part of the regional team that covers the entire Africa region. I had taken pains to
find your contact through personal endeavours.

Approximately five years ago, an investor (Mr. Smith Baxter-Deceased nine months ago) invested a total
of US$10.5M (Ten Million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars) with my department. With interest
at today’s value, the said invested fund is now worth a little under US$16.5M (Sixteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand United State dollars).

Late Smith Baxter’s Attorney/Lawyer notified my department of the sudden death (Car Accident) of Mr.
Smith Baxter. He (the attorney) also expresses concern that Smith had died without a will and he has no
details of any surviving relatives. The lawyer has now requested my department to check our records to
clarify who Late Smith Baxter may have named as his next of Kin on the investment application.

Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, the person named as next of kin, was his girl friend who also died in
the car accident. I have not yet notified the lawyer that the next of Kin was the girl friend. I virtually have
another seven working days to do so.

Should I notify the lawyer of my findings, automatically, the invested funds will be confiscated by the
South African Government? This I do not mind, my concerns and worries is that the funds once released
from our bank, it will be diverted else where by senior South Africa government functionaries for their
personal gains. On the basis of my worries, my immediate boss and I decided to act fast by contacting
and inviting you to work with us posing as a relative of the deceased.With our insider’s privileged
information, the funds can be paid to you as the only surviving relative. We have all the information and
guidance to enable you and we realize this opportunity. We have evaluated the risk analysis and we are
convinced that the risk element is ZERO, as long as you maintain 100% confidentiality.

As you should understand, I am taking a great risk contacting you and making this proposal. Therefore,
you should understand why I must say no more about this transaction until I receive a an email from you
confirming receipt of this letter.

Once secured communication has been established between you and us,detailed clarifications will be
dealt with,such as what each party stand to benefit and time scale and procedures.Time is not in our
favour. Please establish secured communication with me through my private email address above and as
well forward your name and telephone numbers immediately.

Yours truly

Mr.Thomas Chaka

E-gold Security Alert

On E-gold site, there are explanation about fake E-gold scam-spam mails.

Fake Emails purporting to be from e-gold

NEVER ACCESS YOUR E-GOLD ACCOUNT BY CLICKING A HYPERTEXT LINK IN E‑MAIL.

NEVER VIEW, OPEN, SAVE, OR RUN ANY ATTACHMENT IN E-MAIL PURPORTING TO BE FROM E‑GOLD.

There are numerous fraudulent emails in circulation spoofing e-mail addresses in the e-gold.com domain. These emails always rely on your ignorance (and inclination to trust) and frequently also appeal to fear or greed to induce or entice victims to either click a hypertext link and/or open/view/install/run an e-mail attachment.

These emails may say your account has a value limit, you have received fraudulent funds, your account will be closed for inactivity, or that e-gold is paying monthly interest payments. Alternatively, the fraudulent e-mail may instruct you to install a "Security Patch" or some other software either by opening an included e-mail attachment or by clicking a hypertext link.

Regardless of the subject matter of the fraudulent emails, they always have one thing in common: their intent is to gather pieces of information needed for a criminal to gain access to the victim's e-gold account and divert the value either via a phishing attack, a Trojan horse attack, or both.

Phishing Attacks...

The hypertext link in fraudulent email will appear to be to the e-gold website, but if clicked, it directs the victim to a fraudulent website, designed to ensnare the careless by mimicking the appearance of the real e-gold website. Phony login forms are used on these "phishing" websites to collect victim's e-gold account number and passphrase. If victim has disabled e-gold's AccSent protection, e-gold account number and passphrase are all the criminal needs to log in to the victim's e-gold account on the real e-gold website and divert the value.

Trojan Horse Attacks...

Counterfeit websites may also attempt to trick User into downloading a Trojan horse with the objective of gaining control of victim's computer.

The email attachment in fraudulent e-mails usually is a Trojan horse. Again, the objective of Trojan horse may be to gain control of victim's computer.

We urge Users to:

1. Never click hypertext links in HTML formatted e-mail to access your account.
2. Confirm that you are on the e-gold website before entering your e-gold passphrase into either a logon form or a payment authorization form (see note below about e-gold shopping cart interface):
• Verify the address/location/URL starts with: https://www.e-gold.com/
• Verify the site is secure (look at the SSL Lock icon at the bottom of your browser window)
• Verify that the site certificate is issued by VeriSign to www.e-gold.com
3. Never open/view/run/install an attachment in e-mail purporting to be from e-gold
4. Follow the e-gold Security Recommendations listed here.

e-gold Shopping Cart Interface (SCI)
Merchant sites using the e-gold SCI will pass you to the e-gold website at checkout to authorize payment. The e-gold SCI will pass you back to the Merchant's site after you have received confirmation of your e-gold Spend. All of the above criteria for verifying you are on the e-gold website also apply to Spends made via the e-gold SCI.

Twelve million united states dollars - $12.000.000

PRIVATE AND URGENT.
Mr. Bruce Raymond.
Valckenier- straat 85,
1036 XE Amsterdam,
Netherlands.

Good day,

I am contacting you because of a business concerning a huge sum of money
from a deceased deposit in the Security and Finance company where I work
here in Netherlands. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that
all will be well at the end of the day. I actually decided to contact
you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION;

I discovered an abandoned deposit in my company owned by one of our
foreign customers who died along with his entire family as a result of
an automobile crash. He actually deposited this funds amounting to
US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve million united states dollars), for safe
keeping in my company here in Amsterdam. Company file records shows that
the funds was actually for a project our late costumer wanted to start
in the near future (a multi million Dollar steel plant in Florida, USA),
before his sudden and untimely death. As such since his death none of
his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to lay claims for this
property as the heir, this is the basically the reason why I have
contacted you. My company cannot release the property unless someone
applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our
operating guidelines.

Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully
worked out by me for the funds to be released in your favour as the
beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know that I have
secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased
beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance
of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;

1. Beneficiary full name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
3. Occupation and position
4. Nationality and Date of birth
5. Marital status
6. Gender/sex

These requirements will enable me file letter of claim to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before
you can personally appear for the claim. I shall be compensating you
with 30% of the total money while 10% will be for any expenses incurred
the rest will be mine on final conclusion of this project. Please note
that your share stays while the rest shall before me for investment
purposes.

Williams Smith - scam

Attn: Sir/ Madam,

May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion by a formal letter of this sort. It is pertinent that a business of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting of you and us to enable us know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of parties concerned, and appropriate sharesaccordingly. However, for time factor, confidentiality and personality of people involved here in Nigeria, we choose this approach for the remittance of this Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand, U.S. Dollars (US$10.5M). Please bear with us for making the initial contact through e-mail. But my partners are insisting for a meeting in order not to fall into a wrong hand again.

I am Mr.F. Williams Smith, we are members of the special committee for Budget and Planning of the Ministry of Petroleum. This committee is principally concerned with contract appraisal and the approval of the contracts in order of priorities as regards capital projects of the past military government of Nigeria.With our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves this sum of Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$10.5M).

This amount was accumulated through undeclared windfall sales of crude oil during the gulf war. Hence together with two of our top officials at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), we plan to transfer this amount of money into a secure verseasaccount by awarding a sort of contract from the NNPC.To this effect I have been given the mandate by my colleagues to contact you and ask foryour assistance.What we need from you is to provide a nice account inwhich the funds will be transferred. Everything about me is nice Mr. Smith, so you've hit the jackpot here.

My colleagues and I have agreed to compensate you or the owner of the account used for this transaction with 25% of thetotal amount remitted. We shall have 70% and the remaining 5% reserved for taxes and other miscellaneous expenses in your country. It may interest you to know that last two years a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr.RogerWilliams, the President of Craine International Trading Corporation at number 135 East 57th Street, 28th Floor, New York, NY 10022 with telephone number (212)308-7xxx and telex number 6731xxx.

After the agreement between both partners in which he was to take 20% of the money while the remaining 80% for us. With all the required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into this account only to be disappointed on our arrival in New York, and we wereeliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on that address while his telephone and telex numbers have been reallocated to somebody else. That was how we lost US$9 Million to Mr. Roger Williams. Roger, if you're reading this I hope you're feeling guilty! This time around we need a more reliable and trustworthy person or a reputable company to do business with hence this letter to you. Yes, I'm your man for reliability Mr. Smith.

So if you can prove yourself to be trusted and interested in this deal then we are prepared to do business with you. What we want from you is the assurance that you will let us have our share if this amount (US$10.5M) is transferred into your account. If this proposal is okay by you, then reply through my email urgently so that we can set the ball rolling and negotiate the modalities involved. Kindly, treat as very important and strictly confidential, I honestly assure you that this transaction is 100% risk-free.

I look forward to your response and expected co-operation and God bless you.

Regards.

Mr. Williams Smith
