I'm creating this topic so you can post spam letters that you know are scams, so that we can have the rest of the forum clear for more important topics. I will sometimes take the liberty to remove the ones that are posted and copy them here instead. Emails offering you millions of dollars or jobs transferring payments in exchange for a percentage and similar things should be posted in this topic.

This was the previous topic posted by  Security Portal that served a similar function, you can also find several scams there:
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/11866/Please_read_these_scams_messages.htm

You can find information on how to identify them here::
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/11625/Good_tips_to_identify_scams_and_scammers.htm
And we also have a lot of information on www.fraudwatchers.org where we mostly deal with these types of fraud.

Alibaba has a spam filter that removes many of these messages. To get around this, some of the scammers will first ask you for an email address through Alibaba where they can then send the scam letter. This email address may then be traded inside a list to other spammers, leading to you receiving more spam. So it's a good idea to be wary of any Alibaba message asking for your email address that mentions some kind of undescribed "opportunity".

Another scam letter!

Dear Sir/madam,
I am Robert Clarkson, personal attorney to Mr /miss,
an expatriate who was resident here in Lagos. On
the 2nd of January, 2005 I recieved a call that my
client died in the Tsunami Disaster with his wife and
child while on vacation at Phuket Island in Thailand.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any
of my client's extended relatives but it has proved
unsuccessful.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
funds left behind by my client before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this deposit is lodged. Particularly, the bank
where the deceased had an account valued at US$2,700,
000.00 (Two Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars).

The bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next-of-kin or have the account confiscated. Since I
have been unsuccessful in locating the biological
relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your
consent to
present you to the bank as his next-of-kin since you
are a foreigner and bear the same lastname, so that
the balance on his account can be transfered to you as
inheritance and thereafter, you and me can share the
money; 50% to me, 40% to you, and 10% will be donated
to the Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund.

As a lawyer I will obtain from the relevant authority,
necessary legal paperwork that will be used to
substantiate and legalise our claim to the
inheritance. All I require is your consent, honest
co-operation and assistance to enable us see the deal
through. Finally, I guarantee that the transaction
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please
contact me via email to enable us discuss further.

Thank you.
Barr. Robert Clarkson
