Hi All
For the last 1 week I have been receiving several e-mails stating that I have received a donation amount of 5, 000 pounds sterlings and was asked to send in my personal information in order to claim the funds. I have sent in my details but at the same time I have denied to pay some fees asked by them in order to claim the donation amount. I feel its a scam emails which I have received. I went to your website www.scamomatic.com to study about the possible scam and fraud taking place. I really liked the detail explaination on your website which will help people to know what is correct and the truth. But at the same time I am not sure if everyone can go through the website or not, as there are many people who are not computer literates they hardly operate a computer and I am afraid that they might get cheated. I would request you all to kindly go through this and do the needful. I have taken necessary steps and precautions not to get cheated but I am sure that there are many inocent people who will not know about these scams and possible frauds happening around them as a result they will end up sending some amount to these fraudsters and there is a possibilty for them to get cheated. I would request you to kindly help such people and educate them on the possible frauds and also if possible take some severe action against these fraudsters. I am sending in the list of e-mails I received in the past which said that I won a donation amount of 5000.00 sterlings. Please look into the below e-mails I have received in the last 1 week for the following email address like ray.mckaylawfirm001@hotmail.com, mrskatehakeem@hotmail.co.uk, agt_ecowasdonations@live.com, and customercare@e-bbplcuk.com .
Thank you for your response.I am Mrs Kate Foster Hakeem, I am suffering from cancerous ailment, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 4.8 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterlingwhich were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK.

I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.

hi there,
I am from India and I have received the same email now, dated, 27th September 2009. I did not know how to deal with this email so i didnot call or send my personal details to the mailer and asked to send another mail with full details. In the mean time, I did this research and found out a lot of complaint with regard to mail and the mailer. This mailer is using criminal psychology as a pitch to proceed towards his ultimate goal, i.e. to cheat anyone who followed the deception, thinking it to be real. Thanks for posting your earlier emails for its the same that I have received. There must be proper action taken against such frauds. Anyway the mailer this time sent me a mail from the email address : Mrs Kate Hakeem, "hkm202@cox.net" and "lauraspirz@cox.net". Lets send a complaint to "cox.net" and inform them to take action and also to take the necessary legal action at the location where the cox.net connection was provided to the fraudster.
Antone who receives such emails, please, should consider to complain against the fraudster by reaching the proper service provider (refer the email that you get).

ATTENTION...CUSTOMER... ... DATE:..12-...12-...2009..

I understand by the receipt of your email, that you are finding it difficult to make a transfer from your account. After going through a proper technical search, we discovered your account status is presently dormant and needs to be reactivated.

Furthermore, talking about REACTIVATION due to the fact that Late Hakeem's account has not been in function for over 2 years now, before the wife took over and handed over to you. The account has gone dormant and any form of transfer can’t be done until it is reactivated, hence you can’t successfully transfer any amount from the account to your designated account in your country.

Finally, as soon as your account is reactivated, you will be sent a transfer authorization code right away in order for you to bypass the present situation you are facing and automatically make your account status active.

You are to note the fact that every account reactivation deposit will be credited back to your account balance of 4, 800, 675.00 which will make a total balance of 4, 801, 362.00 pounds in your BOBD-UK Account.

Kindly find attachment, read carefully and fill and return back to my office so I can submit it to the management for the activation of your account which will enable us generate your Transfer Code.

Warm Regards,

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your response.I am Mrs Kate Hakeem, I am suffering from cancerous ailment, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 4.8 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterlingwhich were derived from his vast estates andinvestment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.

Thank you for your response.I am Mrs. E. Hassan, I am suffering from cancerous ailment, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10.8 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which was derived from his vast estates andinvestment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down- trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

It goes to show that you have been destined to be great and I implore you to be as honest as possible in this dealing as the spirit of my late husband will be with you always and will also bless you for your effort in seeing that persons are brought out of their predicament.It is often said that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. With the help of my lawyer I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.

I have discuss this matter with my Lawyer, he is going to work with the Bank and secure this funds from the UK Bank where it is been kept for safe custody in a very proper and legal manners and he will make the arrangement with the Bank in your name, as the new beneficiary of the fund and also my next of kin, to move the fund from England to meet you in your country with your data.

I so agree...I think something needs to be done to these people who take out time to scam people...I think all of them should be caught and locked up. My fiance and I have been recieving emails and calls for the so called back they're using to scam and the so call lawyer for the past to months for Mrs. E. Hassan's and about her so called inheritance in the sum of 20 million sterling pounds. So i told him that i was a scam and we needed to look into it before we take any steps because to revieve personal information from someone you never talked to or heard of is so unreal and that amount of money is beyond a freaking scam. I did all of my research and the Mrs. Hassan scam is a 419 scam. The people are using the Barclays Bank as the bank...this email includes this information...

All of this lawyer information is also fake..the law firm came up as a scam also and so did the email address used...i also did the research on the tranfers...You can only transfer 250, 000 sterling sliver pounds her to the United States for London...that should tell you that it was a scam from the beginning. No one is gonna send u 20 million dollars out of the blue...the people behind all of this mess needs to b ashame of themselves for scamming and trying to steal from people. Alot of people have believe these scams and their accounts have been wiped out by these people due to lies that were told and all of the false paperwork and attachments that are on the emails when they are recieved. So if it sounds to good to be true it is...please to your research on these emails and law firms you recieve the emails from..Glad i could give people the heads of on it also. I think it's so wrong and the people behind it are very sick minded people...Please dont let them fool you into this mess...IT ALL A SCAM...
