The bookings are always for a minimum of ten days, written with bad spelling/grammar, nearly always request single rooms despite what you advertise, the sender is a 'Doctor' or whatever and, lastly, that hotmail/yahoo address gives them away. What I'd like to know is why they simply do not book an etap if they are genuine?. I can't believe people are still submitting these for verification here!.    Report

I'm not sure about this one.  What do you think?  Any words of profound wisdom greatly appreciated.  From The Desk Of David Zongo. The Head Of File Department, African Development Bank (A.D.B). Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa .  "REMITTANCE OF $5 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE"   Compliments Of The Season Blessed One to Who I  Is Now Writing      Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.             In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 5 million U.S.A dollars ( Five million U.S.A dollars or dollars five to the million) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) in a plane crash (GOD BLESS HIS SOULS). Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this business proposal since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.       After series of prayers/fasting over 40 days and nights I was divinely directed to contact you among other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search. I believe that God has a way of helping who is in need.   I am (David Zongo),the Head of file Department in African development bank (ADB).  When i was searching for a foreign reliable partner. I assured in a vision from the Lord our GOD (BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY) of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after a certain period of years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 80% would be for me and my woman colleague. There after i will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.  Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear, no my dear sir in all confidence be dealing with me as I speak from GOD, as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me on my cell phone  number 00226-7685 5660.   Immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Your’s faithfully, David Zongo.

I have a Moroccan Restaurant in NYC and this past week, I began receiving emails from a George Murray Barr from a law firm in Scotland.  He wanted to make reservations for three nights for his staff.  I became skeptical and googled the Law firm as well as his phone number and your email popped up.  Wow!  Needless to say, there is no George Murray at the Law firm either. You can see by my responses at the onset of this dialogue, that we were very eager to have a large reservation in January of course.  However, today is when my instinct told me something was not right.  His email reads: YAHOO.Shortcuts.hasSensitiveText = true; YAHOO.Shortcuts.sensitivityType = ["adult"]; YAHOO.Shortcuts.doUlt = false; YAHOO.Shortcuts.location = "us"; YAHOO.Shortcuts.lang =

Here are the common denominators: 'Doctor' The number '4' whether it be people, singles, couples or rooms. '10' meaning the number of days required. They never ask for two, three or five days. The booking enq is always for a minimum of 10 days. 'Rates for the entire period' Offer of '100% deposit' by card/cheque Basically check the grammar. And the names are usually pretty pretentious.    Report

We have a very small restaurant in Newport, Oregon (USA) and had recently received a number of email requests (for reservations for a group of 10) from a "Dr. James Turner" from the UK. After several attemps to confirm information (deposit and menu selections) with Dr. Turner, we decided to do a little research of our own. I spent a good deal of time searching before I decided to enter the phone number Dr. Turner used in his emails....+337024062538 on Google.  Fortunately this "link" appeared and after reading your posting...I realized we'd been a victim of a scam as well. Many thanks for posting your experience online.  It was just the confirmation we needed. Thankfully, only time and energy was spent instead of product and lost wages.    Report
