We have not been publishing these unsuccessful stories of "Civil Servants" wanting to transfer millions of dollars out of Africa. They have been trying so hard to transfer millions of dollars out of Africa for years, with all sorts of stories from dead rich man, government contracts, lost treasure, rich widow, etc.

And look at those emails... South Africans using free email addresses from Hong Kong and Australian website. And the "precisionmotorsport" is a fake email. We did not check but if Precision Motor Sport is a company selling motoring products, we are very sure that this is a fake ID. The scammers are sending out the emails using anonymous servers.

I know the "Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria's anti-corruption police" is reading our website. Let's see if they can catch this scammer. Attached is the complete email:

Dear,
Request for Confidential Business Relationship
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I am a high placed
official working with (Department of Finance & Economic Affairs), in
Johannesburg South Africa. I and two other colleagues are currently in need of a
silent foreign partner whose bank account we can use to transfer the sum of
Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. dollars. This fund accrued
legitimately to us as commission from foreign contracts, through our private
connections. The fund is presently waiting to be remitted through an offshore
funds manager to any overseas beneficiary confirmed by us as associate/receiver.
By virtue of our positions as civil servants in my country, we cannot acquire
this money in our names. Because as high placed civil servants, we are not
allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or operate bank accounts
outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe for us to keep the
money here due to unstable political environment. I have been mandated as a
matter of trust by my colleagues, to look for an overseas silent partner who
could work with us to facilitate transfer of this fund through his or her
account for mutual benefit, hence the reason for this fax message.
What I am requesting from you is: (1) to be our silent partner and receive the
funds in your account in trust. (2)Receive the funds in your account, take out
your commission and keep the rest of the money until I arrive there to meet you
after the transfer is completed. My proposal is that after you receive the
funds, it would be shared as follows: (1) 15% to you as commission for your
co-operation and assistance in facilitating the transfer, while the remaining
85% belongs to me and two colleagues. You will be free to take out your
commission immediately after the money hits your account. Since our objective is
to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you could
also help us with advices and direction on investing into profitable ventures in
your country.
However, this is optional, and if it is not convenient for you to further
assist us with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after you make
available to me our part of the money. The transaction, although discrete, is
legitimate and the money will be transferred to your account with all necessary
back-up official documents showing legitimate source/origin of fund. The
transfer will be effected to your account within a period not longer than two
weeks as soon as we reach an agreement and you furnish me with a suitable bank
account for processing the transfer. I plead with you on one issue, whether you
are interested or not, kindly do not expose this information to any one else. I
confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either to us or
yourself. Please, give me your response immediately by return mail through my
alternative email address: erick.helen@yahoo.com.hk
Yours Faithfully,
Chief Dr & Mrs. H. Zuma
