Standard Bank

Standard Bank was referenced in unsolicited emails that appear to be fraudulent or bogus.   Standard Bank in South Africa 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. If you get an e-mail that is similar to one in our collection, you should delete it.  Do not contact the person 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.

Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 13:17:50 +1000 From: "Dr. Peter Maluba" <petermaluba@aim.com>  To: "Hello"  Subject: Hello

Hello, My name is Dr. Peter Maluba Director of Affairs in the Standard Bank in South Africa . I am presently here in the Netherlands on a course; I am contacting you regarding a Business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all modalities have being put in place for a hitch free transaction.

PROPOSITION:

One of my colleagues is the account officer to the deceased named Gerald Welsh who died in an air crash along with his family in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board. ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm ) You can confirm this from the bbc website. Since his death, none of his next of kin is alive to lay claims for this money as his heirs because they all died in the same crash.

We cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for the claim next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, my colleagues and I seek your permission, to have you stand as the next of kin to the deceased, as all documentation have been carefully worked out by us for the funds US$ 20,500,000.00 million (Twenty Million five Hundred thousand United States of American Dollars) to be released/transferred in your name as the beneficiary /next of kin.

After five years, the money will be called back to the banks treasury as unclaimed bills and the fund shared amongst the directors of the bank. So, it is on this note that my colleagues and I decided to seek for your assistance to stand as the beneficiary rather than allowing the bank directors to share the money among them at the end of this fiscal year. It may also interest you to know that we have secured from the probate and order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased family/beneficiary. Please acknowledge your willingness to assist by furnishing me with the following:

1. Your full names and company name, in other to process the documents on your name.

2. Your bank details.

3. Personal telephone and fax number

At the end of the transaction your will be compensated with 25% of the total sum for your assistance, While the balance will be for my colleagues and I for investment purpose in your country because we intend to invest our share of the money in your country for a minimum of two years under your supervision. If this proposal is acceptable to you, please endeavour to contact me immediately via my email: petermaluba@aim.com

Please note that this transaction should be kept confidential between both parties. I am looking forward to your prompt response. God bless you.

Regards,

Dr. Peter Maluba.
