Exposing Internet Fraud & Scams |
Bank of Ghana (BOG) was referenced in unsolicited emails such as those below that appear to be fraudulent or bogus. Bank of Ghana is almost certainly not involved nor likely to approve the use of its name in the e-mails. Scammers often use the names of legitimate banks, companies, governmental agencies and other organizations to make their claims seem legitimate. This site contains a large collection of fraud and bogus emails that attempt to scam the recipient into sending money for non-existent fortunes, inheritances, cases of money, business partnerships, lottery winnings, etc. Don't be fooled by official looking documents (e.g. phony governmental certificates, checks and passports) as scammers make a living forging these things. If you get an e-mail that is similar to one in our collection, you should delete it. Do not contact the sender (e.g. "Paul Bukare") and especially do not give out personal information such as bank account information or your social security number. NEVER pay any fees of any kind. If you are victimized by the fraud, there is not much that you can do. You may want to visit other sites to learn more.

Dear Sir/Madam
Maybe, you could be of help to us in this transaction. I got your contact from the American Chamber of Commerce and i decide to contact you immediately.
It is with mixed feelings that i communicate you through this medium because we are seeking a faithful, sincere and reliable foreigner who will assist us in investing our late father's fortune in the amount of Twenty Eight Million,Six Hundred And Twenty Five Thousand Dollars (US$28,625, 000.00.) This amount was originally deposited by our late father in a security company in Ghana and just before my parents and two of my siblings were killed by rebels in our family house in Sierra-Leone, my father had successfully lodged the money at the Bank of Ghana.
Myself and my Younger brother who is now in (Republic of Congo) are the only survivors of our family. Before my brother's trip to Congo, we have successfully got through the assistance of the foreign operations director of the Bank of Ghana, to transferred the amount from Bank of Ghana pool account to that of PRIVATE bank in Monaco which is an affiliate of Bank of Ghana. We did this because there is tax haven in Monaco and we could not pay the huge taxes required by the Bank of Ghana for the release of the money to us. I am therefore seeking your assistance to stand-in for us as our late father's business partner and foreign investor, to claim this money from the offshore bank in Monaco as the beneficiary. You will also be required to assist us in investing our own part of the money into valuable business ventures in abroad and for all this we are offering you 15% of the total funds as reward.
The Bank of Ghana has already nominated a fiduciary agent in Monaco who will act as financial advicer and mediator between the beneficiary and the Monaco bank and who will also assist us in obtaining the relevant documents required by the bank for the release of the funds to you on our behalf. This means that we do not need the services of a diplomat as i thought before inorder to obtain the release & delivery of the money because it will be done through the bank in Monaco. Therefore, if you can assure us of your sincerity, honesty and ability to help us secure the release of this amount/invest it before our arriver to your country, i will give your contact details to the fiduciary agent in Monaco so he will present you as the beneficiary to the funds while processing actual release of it on yourbehalf.
Please note that you stand no risk at all in assisting us to conclude this transaction because the money is legitimately our family fortune. Moreover you are not going to pay taxes to the bank to secure the release of the funds because of tax haven being in place in Monaco. Please, if you are ready to be our Investor, do get back to me at my private e-mail address. p_bukare111@o2.pl, So we can proceed with immediate effect.
My regards
Paul Bukare.
Are you are willing to cooperate in this project, Thursday, March 19, 2009 4:26 PM

BANK OF GHANA.
Email:
Good day, I am Mr. Sam Okudzeto, the Director Bills & Exchange . I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of $39,000,000.00 (THIRTY NINE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) during our Bank's Annual Year Account Auditing.
The owner of this dormant account died on 5th Jan 2005. Since the death of the deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. Moreover,
this account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it. Definitely, this fund will be confiscated by our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS if it remains dormant for a period of (5) years without any claims. In this regard, I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring this dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund. I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer.
First, I will transfer $9,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will nominate, upon a successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, I will then fly to meet you in your home destination for sharing, and thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of $30,000,000.00 for magnitude investments.
Note that you are required to furnish me with the requested information's bellow immediately;
(1)Full names. (2)Contact address. (3)Telephone and fax numbers. (4)Location.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project, I will give you details immediately as soon as I hear from you. Yours truly,
Mr. Sam Okudzeto Director Bills & Exchange BANK OF GHANA
