Fake Inheritance From Barrister Clement Khuman
From email address: clemkhuma002@yahoo.com
FROM: BARR CLEM KHUMAN
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTN: SIR/MADAM
It is my privileged to capture your names from the internet. My name is Barrister Clement Khuman legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr. Shawkat, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a ghastly motor accident along Port louis-Reduit express in August 13, 2002.
All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. my client was a successful and accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his intimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an Gold magnet here in South Africa and he left behind a deposit of US$22.5 MILLION (TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THUOSAND US DOLLARS). After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my utmost amazement , you are nationals of the same country. Convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore,decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the situation now . By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client,so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same country, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at US$22.5 MILLION (TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THUOSAND US DOLLARS), can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us to see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards

Email Scam Using Alfredo Gomez Castillo Name
From: john_guda (john_guda@esfera.cl)
Dear Old Friend,
It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our business transaction. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the funds. I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from South America Mr. Alfredo Gomez Castillo.
Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady Accountant who works with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.
In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $500,000.00(Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a Cashier's draft. This is from my own share.
I did this simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and assistance even though we couldn't succeed due to some unforeseen circumstances. Presently, I am in South Korea for investment with my own share under the advice of my partner.
In the light of the above, you are therefore to contact my personal secretary in Cotonou Benin Republic. His name is Mr.Emmanuel Onyenweife and do send him your contact address where you want the draft to be sent to you, his e-mail address (onymmanuel@yahoo.fr) so feel free to get in touch with him to send the draft to you without any delay.
Best Regard

Fake Will of Ebony Jackson Jr
To: "clancy@info.com"
Subject: From Barrister Clancy George.
Dearly Beloved,
Good day to you and your family.
I sincerely apologize if this mail took you by surprise or do not suit your personal/business ethics. I resorted to contact you via this medium due to the nature of my genuine intentions and the cheap easy communication access via email messaging.
First and foremost let me begin with self introduction; I am Barrister Clancy George from london UK.The personal attorney of Late Mr Ebony Jackson Jr who was/is a British citizen and a Member of the south african Gold trade. Before his death, he was into Gold dealings between south Africa and and the united kingdom.
He was a very business concious Man and he had little or no time for his health or regular checkups. In the course of his life He was diagnosed of oesophageal cancer and was taken to the hospitals, but his neglect towards his health worked against him and his palliative care could not help. The doctors announced to us that he had a short time to live and i informed his wife and 2 children about this. I thought they will be sad and feel bad but to my greatest suprise they asked me when he was going to die. This was suprising to me hence I interviewed my client and discovered his family have been having a brutal attack on his financial empire. He went ahead immediately to prepare his will. He willed his belongings to his family, his church, friends and his dogs and also asked his family to help him disburse 3 million dollars to some charity organizations in the UK, instead they kept this money for their selfish interest.
This broke Ebony's heart and he made up his mind never to involve his family in his financial affairs any more. He informed me of 6.5 million dollars in a financial security company in Johannesburg, South Africa and told me he would find someone-somewhere else in the world out side the united kingdom to help him disburse this funds to charity. He gave me the power of attorney as his lawyer and a written agreement was entered between my self and my client to prepare a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE for his beneficiary and ensure that the money is successfully transfered to his yet to be beneficiary, he tried finding people but soon after this time his health condition restricted him to his hospital bed and was not able to find anybody. 1 month later on the 18th of december 2007, he died.
Before his death, he left me with the signed POWER OF ATTORNEY CERTIFICATE, to find someone outside the UK where his family will never be informed about to avoid their wicked attack on the fund. I dont know people outside the UK as i have spent all my life here in london hence i settled for the internet as a means to get to the outside world and seek for help on behalf of Ebony. I know you are wondering how i got your email address, i got hold of you by a random search on the internet using google search and other people search machines to find email addresses of people. I sent this mail to a few number of people but i have got no reply, hence i can decide to work with you if you sincerely agree to help the situation.
The total sum is 6.5million united states dollars (six million five hundred thousand dollars) and 30% has been willed to you if you accept to help, 10% has been willed to me and the other 60% will be used for charity purpose ONLY. It will be shared amongst poor, less priveledge and orphans in your country.
Ebony had a dream just like Martin Luther King did, he said one day the suffering among children in the world will be history. Although he is not alive to see this but in our own little way lets work together to keep the dreams of this great man alive without the involvement of his wicked family.
If you will like to help me, please reply me on the personal email address of Mr Ebony which he left for me to continue this race:
Email: ebony.jackson07@yahoo.co.uk.
Tel: +447024012911
When i receive your email or call i will send you photo evidences and the signed power of attorney certificate for you to understand better. I anticipate your concern and endulgence.
Please be informed that this request is optional and your contacting me should be on your sincere agreement to assist me to help Ebony and less privileged in your community, state or country.
Thank you and God bless.
Best Regards,
Barrister Clancy George.

IRS Warns of New E-Mail and Telephone Scams Using the IRS Name
IR-2008-11, Jan. 30, 2008
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned taxpayers to beware of several current e-mail and telephone scams that use the IRS name as a lure. The IRS expects such scams to continue through the end of tax return filing season and beyond.
The IRS cautioned taxpayers to be on the lookout for scams involving proposed advance payment checks. Although the government has not yet enacted an economic stimulus package in which the IRS would provide advance payments, known informally as rebates to many Americans, a scam which uses the proposed rebates as bait has already cropped up.
The goal of the scams is to trick people into revealing personal and financial information, such as Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers, which the scammers can use to commit identity theft.
Typically, identity thieves use a victim’s personal and financial data to empty the victim’s financial accounts, run up charges on the victim’s existing credit cards, apply for new loans, credit cards, services or benefits in the victim’s name, file fraudulent tax returns or even commit crimes. Most of these fraudulent activities can be committed electronically from a remote location, including overseas. Committing these activities in cyberspace allows scamsters to act quickly and cover their tracks before the victim becomes aware of the theft.
People whose identities have been stolen can spend months or years — and their hard-earned money — cleaning up the mess thieves have made of their reputations and credit records. In the meantime, victims may lose job opportunities, may be refused loans, education, housing or cars, or even get arrested for crimes they didn't commit.
The most recent scams brought to IRS attention are described below.
Rebate Phone Call
At least one scheme using the word “rebate” as part of the lure has been identified. In that scam, consumers receive a phone call from someone identifying himself as an IRS employee. The caller tells the targeted victim that he is eligible for a sizable rebate for filing his taxes early. The caller then states that he needs the target’s bank account information for the direct deposit of the rebate. If the target refuses, he is told that he cannot receive the rebate.
This phone call is a scam. No legislation has yet been enacted that would allow the IRS to provide advance payments to taxpayers or that determines the details of those payments. Moreover, the IRS does not force taxpayers to use direct deposit. Those who opt for direct deposit do so by completing the appropriate section of their tax return, with bank routing and account information, when they file; the IRS does not gather the information by telephone.
Refund e-Mail
The IRS has seen several variations of a refund-related bogus e-mail which falsely claims to come from the IRS, tells the recipient that he or she is eligible for a tax refund for a specific amount, and instructs the recipient to click on a link in the e-mail to access a refund claim form. The form asks the recipient to enter personal information that the scamsters can then use to access the e-mail recipient’s bank or credit card account.
In a new wrinkle, the current version of the refund scam includes two paragraphs that appear to be directed toward tax-exempt organizations that distribute funds to other organizations or individuals. The e-mail contains the name and supposed signature of the Director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations business division.
This e-mail is a phony. The IRS does not send unsolicited e-mail about tax account matters to individual, business, tax-exempt or other taxpayers.
Filing a tax return is the only way to apply for a tax refund; there is no separate application form. Taxpayers who wish to find out if they are due a refund from their last annual tax return filing may use the “Where’s My Refund?” interactive application on this Web site, IRS.gov. The only official IRS Web site is located here at www.irs.gov.
Audit e-Mail
Another new scam brought to IRS attention contains features not seen before by the IRS. Using a technique calculated to get almost anyone’s attention, the e-mail notifies the recipient that his or her tax return will be audited. This is the first scam of which the IRS is aware that uses this to get the victim to respond.
Unusual for a scam e-mail, it may contain a salutation in the body addressed to the specific recipient by name. Most scam e-mails seen by the IRS are sent using the same technique used by spammers, in which hundreds of thousands of messages are sent to potential victims based on Internet address. Because of the volume, the typical scam e-mail is not personalized.
This e-mail instructs the recipient to click on links to complete forms with personal and account information, which the scammers will use to commit identity theft.
This e-mail is a phony. The IRS does not send unsolicited, tax-account related e-mails to taxpayers.
Changes to Tax Law e-Mail
This bogus e-mail is addressed to businesses, accountants and “Treasury” managers. It instructs them to download information on tax law changes by clicking on a series of links to publications on businesses, estate taxes, excise taxes, exempt organizations and IRAs and other retirement plans. The IRS believes that clicking on a link downloads malware onto the recipient’s computer. Malware is malicious code that can take over the victim’s computer hard drive, giving someone remote access to the computer, or it could look for passwords and other information and send them to the scamster. There are other types of malware, as well.
The urls contained in the link are not legitimate IRS Web addresses. All IRS.gov Web page addresses begin with http://www.irs.gov/.
Paper Check Phone Call
In a current telephone scam, a caller claims to be an IRS employee who is calling because the IRS sent a check to the individual being called. The caller states that because the check has not been cashed, the IRS wants to verify the individual’s bank account number. The caller may have a foreign accent.
In reality, the IRS leaves it entirely up to the individual to choose to cash or not cash a paper check. The IRS has no business need to know, and does not ask for, bank account or similar information, except when taxpayers indicate on their tax return that they are opting for the direct electronic deposit of their refund. In that case, however, it is the individual’s responsibility to provide the IRS with the correct bank routing and account numbers on the tax return; the IRS does not contact taxpayers to verify the information.
What to Do
Anyone wishing to access the IRS Web site should initiate contact by typing the IRS.gov address into their Internet address window, rather than clicking on a link in an e-mail or opening an attachment.
Those who have received a questionable e-mail claiming to come from the IRS may forward it to a mailbox the IRS has established to receive such e-mails, phishing@irs.gov, using instructions contained in an article titled “How to Protect Yourself from Suspicious E-Mails or Phishing Schemes.” Following the instructions will help the IRS track the suspicious e-mail to its origins and shut down the scam. Find the article by visiting IRS.gov and entering the words “suspicious e-mails” into the search box in the upper right corner of the front page.
Those who have received a questionable telephone call that claims to come from the IRS may also use the phishing@irs.gov mailbox to notify the IRS of the scam.
The IRS has issued previous warnings on scams that use the IRS to lure victims into believing the scam is legitimate. More information on identity theft, phishing and telephone scams using the IRS name, logo or spoofed (copied) Web site is available on this Web site. Enter the terms “phishing,” “identity theft” or “e-mail scams” into the search box in the upper right corner of the front page.
