A Lad that addressed some acrimonious parting words to - the ones involving an assault carbine/12-gauge shotgun combo and the Lad's head - is apparently back with a new plan.

Quote:

There is a new development in my office and at the Ministry of Finance now. I am ready and willing to assist you financial and Morally to receive your compensation into your account.

After some discussion:

Quote:

We have been able to discuss with a bank in your country who will protect our interest. All you are advised to do is to open an account with the bank and supply me with the account details and I shall instruct the payment bank to effect the transfer immediately.
I have perfected every arrangement and there will not be any fees that will be required of you, only to open an account with the bank I shall direct you.

Then this:

Quote:

We discussed with�Commonwealth Bank of Australia�and below is her�address including�swift code for your confirmation.� We would like you therefore to go there and�open a new account with them and provide me with account details ,� so that we can instruct for the first berg of the transfer without wasting much time.
�
Remember that your compensation is USD$960,000.00 while the USD$6,000.000.00 is for me and my colleague. You are therefore advise to take only 20% of any berg of transfer conducted in the new account you shall open with Commonwealth and�wire the balance into an �account I shall direct you until the your USD$960,000.00 is completed.
�
The transfer is going to be little by little into your new account and I expected you to show a good faith by returning our share of money after you might have taken your �20% of every berg of the transfer. Be warned to follow my instruction and advise to avoid any complication along the line.

COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA
N0STR0 ACCT MGMT
LEVEL 2, 120 PITT STREET
SYDNEY 2000 , AUSTRALIA
SWIFT CODE = CTBAAU2S

This is a new modality to me and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered it.

I also have no idea what the "berg of the transfer" is!

I'm betting that the lad is planning to flash the account with a fraudulent fund transfer.

It is also possible that asking you to setup an account in a specific bank is just a red herring designed to get you focused on the money. i've had a couple of lads ask me to open an account in a specific bank, then when I said I had done so, it was the usual old story - I needed to pay one minor fee of some kind before the first part of the funds could be released.

"berg of transfer" - I read that as "part of the whole fund" (like icebergs breaking off a larger mass).

Just wondering about the account flashing thing - how common is this? I've heard of the concept many times - it seems extremely risky way to run a scam (whether a bank insider or a card merchant), as there is a clear paper trail to the fraudster. of course I could be missing something as usual....

To be on the safe side I give them the tax office account details.
If they send real money from a Vic then the Vic will recover it in time.
If they send stolen money the money is lost to them and eventually the money will be returned to the owner.
If you provide invalid bank info the scammer will get a rejection at some point and the game is up. Providing a real bank account means the money will transfer and a paper trail will evolve.

I'd like to use my personal account

Im wondering if he wants to use a bank account to obtain funds from another scam, have the victim put the funds in your bank account, tranfer the money to him before the cops come and arrest you.

..Or as stated, he could be testing you to see what hoops you'll jump through for that $$$

He may be asking you to be a mule and he will give you a cut in exchange for laundering the money.

Tell him you always bank in the sweisse sparhouse gessellshaft (off the top of my head). A very exclusive swiss bank and they will need details of where the money is coming from before they let payments arrive (n@zi gold scandals, money laundering, self regulating bla bla bla) before they will open you an account to receive the money. Quote an email from them that says something like.

It's actually a total butchery of german and dutch and wouldn't fool your average person. But lads - that's another matter...

You may earn yourselves some piggybanks and you will have played out another couple of rounds of email

It could be a number of things really.
I would be apt to agree with the folks that are saying that he's probably just trying to get you committed before dropping another "minor fee" bomb on your head.

Sounds like an account flash to me - they'll try and flush as much through the account (in dribs and drabs) as they can before your bank realise it's all fraudulent and give it back to the owner - leaving you with 80% out of pocket and in nasty debt.

If you play along, there are bound to be anti-money-laundering forms to complete, seeing as they're apparently asking you to launder money it should be fun :-$

Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 9:43 am

^^ Any particular forms that you would recommend?

Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 2:02 pm

A copy of Word and some of the info from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Secrecy_Act may help, although I don't have any forms of my own on hand Sad
