Satu pengalaman yang boleh kujadikan teladan buat kawan-kawan semua.
Teknologi Komunikasi kini tidak semua boleh diterima bulat-bulat, apatah lagi sekiranya terlalu percaya dan kelabu mata. Salah satu daripada jenayah komunikasi ialah apa yang dipanggil 'scam letters' yang dihantar secara mel elektronik (email) kepada pengguna-pengguna internet. Kalau 'inbox' kotak email kita selalu saja penuh entah surat siapa yang tak dikenal menawar bermacam-macam iklan duit dan gambar bogel memang sah email kita dijual. Ada juga meminta simpati untuk sesuatu amal jariah yang tidak pasti kebenarannya, termasuk satu kes baru-baru ini yang menerangkan kes harta wasiat tinggalan arwah seorang pemimpin puak Nigeria General Sani Abas yang mati secara mengejut dan meninggalkan duit berbillion-billion bertabur di kebanyakan bank. Ini yang kebanyakan orang kelam mata mengaku bini dan adik-beradik, peguamcara, rakan taulan dan sebagainya mempengaruhi penerima-penerima email untuk membantu pengeluaran duit tersebut yang dibekukan oleh kerajaan Nigeria. Saya percaya ramai dah terima email seumpama itu yang telah sekian lama berlalu sejak dua tahun kebelakangan semenjak kematian beliau pada 8hb Jun 1998, kebanyakan penerima email dari Amerika telah sedar akan hal ini. Banyak yang telah tertipu dan habis wang dari akaun mereka dan syarikat-syarikat LTD. disapu licin. Hari ini dia nak 'test' orang-orang Islam di Malaysia pulak yang baru belajar IT. Oleh itu sampai-sampaikanlah pesan.
Dilihat seperti surat resmi datangnya dari Nigeria melalui email, ditulis sendiri oleh pengirimnya dari alamat yang tidak diragui sama sekali. Ianya bermaksud memohon bantuan dan meraih simpati melalui perkataan dan cerita yang mudah mempengaruhi pembaca apatah lagi kisahnya memang benar. Saya pun balas juga dengan belajar menyusun perkataan dan menaruh simpati dan bersedia membantu, apa tidaknya ganjaran yang dijanji bukan sikit - million bunyinya! Ditulis bismillah pulak tu, biarpun pada mulanya saya menyatakan keraguan saya tentang keislamannya. Diberi salam tak jawab pun. Tetapi surat kedua yang dibalas menerangkan maksud yang begitu mencemaskan dan amat sangat berharap, cuma beri maklumat akaun kita yang akan dimasukkan sejumlah wang yang disebutkan.
Jangan sesekali tertawan dengan ganjaran yang lumayan dengan usaha yang sedikit. Kebanyakan mereka yang mendail telefon akan cepat terpengaruh dan berfikir yang bukan-bukan sehingga amat berharap kepada ganjaran yang berjuta-juta tanpa memikir rasionalnya. Apa tidaknya, harta wasiat ni bukannya sikit.
Bermacam-macam bentuk email yang seumpama ini dan banyak kisahnya pula.
Ini di antara email yang saya terima.: (Jangan 'try'. Ini adalah sebahagian
dari 'scam letters'.)

PRESIDENTIAL QUARTERS,
GOVERNMENT RESERVE AREA,
KANO, KANO STATE,
Tel: 90-4700050-1.
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS THE MOST
MERCIFUL
It is with heart full of hope that I writ to seek your
help in the context below. I am Mrs. Jumai Aishat
Abacha the second wife of the former Nigerian Head of
state late General Sani Abacha whose Sudden death
occurred on 8th of June 1998.
Having gotten your particulars from the family's
library courtsey World Business Directory, I have no
doubt about your capacity and good will to assist me
in receiving into your custody (For
Safety) the sum of US$22Million willed and deposited
in my favour by my late husband.
This money is currently kept in a Trust Deposit
Account with a West African Sub-Regional Finance &
Security Company. As it is legally
required, the administration of my late husband
property is under the family lawyer's named (F.R.
Williams Chambers). However, the new Democratic
Government has on assumption of the office setup
a panel of inquiry to the financial activities of my
late husband (former Head of State ) with a decision
to freeze all his assets respectively. Th
investigative teams has submitted their report
presently some cash and assets have been
frozen and seized.
Fortunately, our family lawyer has recently protected
the Personal will of my husband from the notice of the
investigators and have strictly advised that the
willed money will be urgently moved into an overseas
account of a Trusted Foreign Family Friend without
delay, for security reasons. The Government had
earlier placed Foreign Travel Embargo of all our
family members and sized all known local and
International outfits of our business empire. The
situation has been so terrible that we are virtually
living on the assistance of well wishes. In
view of this plight therefore, I expected you to be
Trust Worthy and Kind enough to respond this call
(S.O.S) to save my Children and me from a hopeless
future.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid
effort in this regard with 20% of the fund when
finally received in a your Local Bank Account. The
Attorney has perfected arrangement with the Bankers to
effect complete dislodgment of this money within
a week of the receipt of your response through Fax.
They have equally guaranteed 100% risk free and smooth
transfer . Please all contacts must be made through my
Lawyer F.R. Williams Chambers via Tel: 234-1-288-2430
and his Direct Fax: 234-1-759-0519 only.
I look forward to your quick response. May Allah Bless
You.

LADY MARYAM ABACHA
THE PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear Sir,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Lady Maryam Abacha, wife of late General Sani Abacha, Ex-military
Head of states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who died on 8th June
1998 of heart problems. l contacted you because of my need to deal with
persons whom my family and l have had no previous personal relationships.
Since the death of my husband, my family had been subjected to all sorts
of harassment's and intimidation with lots of negative report emanating
from the government and the press about my husband. The present government
has also ensured that our bank accounts are frozen and all assets seized.
It is in view of this that I seek your cooperation and assistance in the
transfer of the sum of US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United States Dollars
only) being the very last of my family fund in my possession and control.
An earlier attempt in the physical movement of the sum of US$47,000,000.00
was to avail as the money was confiscated and my International passport
impounded at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos in August
1998.The Federal Government has seized all our properties and frozen all
our accounts both local and International, but my only hope now is the
availableUS$30,000,000.00 which l carefully packed and deposited with a
security company as photographic materials where my brother-in-law is working
as a General manager when my husband died. If you are willing to assist
us in receiving this money on our behalf, please contact my brother-in-law
Alhaji Buba Abacha immediately on the following Telephone Number DELETED
or [email protected] to discuss the details and negotiate
your reward, which l can assure you, will be very substantial .Please,
ensure to keep this proposal very secret and confidential. We await your
immediate response.
Maa Salaam. Sincerely, LADY MARYAM ABACHA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wondering why I have deleted the email address and phone number. Because,
believe it or not, people call these numbers and send email to these accounts
and lose their money - fast.
What happens? A nice guy or gal picks up the phone at the other end
and starts pulling you into the scam. At first they need a thousand dollars,
perhaps, for postage or some small official fee. They are fast talkers
who do this all of the time - and of you do give in and give them the money
you don't have a chance. You are hooked and you are hooked bad.
They depend upon greed and prey on the weak. You think, "wow, I can
get a million dollars", and "well, it's a risk but I'm only going to risk
that first thousand". Foolish person.
Once you've given them your thousand (the amount varies) they start
to reel you in. They will call to tell you they need another $10,000, perhaps,
for bribes to customs officials. You'll pay because you've already paid
a thousand, and because it sounds like the money is just about to be transferred
into your bank account.
So you'll pay. Then you'll call and you'll have to give them another
amount, bigger this time, and deliver it in person, perhaps. You'll do
it - you've already spent a lot of money and you don't want to lose it.
You'll deliver the money and then be given a story - only to get another
call.
This time you will be very suspicious, and you might be told they need
to "wash" all of the money. You want to see, they'll meet you and indeed,
they will have a handful of black money. They'll use some solvent and like
magic the money is clean.
They will explain that the money was hidden and got "dirty" and now
they need perhaps $50,000 to clean it. Some people have paid as much as
half a million dollars at this point. The stories are sometimes different,
sometimes the same, but you'll pay. Because now the greed is mixed with
fear and a little more greed - you've actually had the money in your hands
now.
How long does this go on? Until you won't or can't pay anymore. Then
you just get thrown away. People disappear, calls aren't return, and if
you do get hold of someone they deny knowing you or give you some excuse.
Report it to someone? Who? The FBI? Sure, they know all about this scam.
Yes, they will take your data and add it to their database - but the scam
is not operated on United States soil and there is no one to catch - at
least no one who can be found. There is also little or no evidence - it's
very difficult to catch this kind of thief.
So what do you do?
Use your brain.
Don't under any conditions give money to scammers. How do you spot a
scam? Simple. The offer is too good to be true. It's that simple. Get a
million for doing nothing? Come on. Doesn't happen (unless you win the
lottery). Don't even respond. Just delete the emails or throw away the
letters.
Be smart.
It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of
wisdom to listen.
SIR,
AT THIS POINT, LET ME STATE MY PERSONAL VIEW ON THIS MATTER. MY CLIENT
HAS SERVED IN SO MANY MILITARY ASSIGNMENTS OUTSIDE NIGERIA IN DIFFERENT
SERVICE CAPACITIES INCLUDING HIS MORE RECENT ASSIGNMENTS IN ECOMOG (ECOWAS
MONITORING GROUP)THAT RESTORED PEACE IN LIBERIA AND SIERRA-LEONE AND WHATEVER

SIPHONED.

DEPOSITED HIS MONEY WITH A FINANCE SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFE CUSTODY. AND
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER THIS FUNDS BECAUSE MY CLIENT IS UNDER
GOVERNMENT SURVEILANCE.

SITUATION OVER HERE. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN MOVING AND SECURING THIS
MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT ABROAD. YOU WILL BE ADEQUATELY COMPENSATED WITH20%
OF THE TOTAL SUM FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND CO-OPERATION WITH ME TO MOVE THIS
FUND OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
THIS MONEY IS NOT SAFE WHERE IT IS KEPT ANY MORE BECAUSE THERE ARE INDICATIONS
THAT ALL THE RETIRED OFFICERS MIGHT HAVE THEIR ESTATE CONFISCATED AS PART
OF THE CURRENT SANITATION EXERCISE TO STOP CORRUPTION IN THE COUNTRY. ALREADY
ALL BANK ACCOUNTS BELONGING TO ERSTWHILE MILITARY OFFICERS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED.
VARIOUS PRIVATE BANK ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN FROZEN PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THEIR
INVESTIGATION AND THEY ARE BEING CLOSELY MONITORED.
WE INTEND TO SAFEGUARD AND INVEST THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY ABROAD WITH A
RELIABLE FOREIGN BUSINESS PARTNER SO THAT WE CAN INVEST THE FUNDS IN REAL
ESTATE BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY. THAT IS WHY I AM SOLICITING YOUR ASSISTANCE
AND COOPERATION AS REGARDS THIS BUSINESS. ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED
WITH A SECURITY COMPANY THAT HAS BRANCHES IN EUROPE AND NOTHERN AMERICA
TO RECEIVE THE MONEY IN CASH DEPENDING ON WHERE IS CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
PLEASE INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST ME BY SENDING TO ME THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION; YOUR COMPANY NAME ADDRESS AND YOUR PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS

THE
8TH OF JUNE 1998. HIS COLLEAGUES IN THE ARMY POISONED HIM IN
