I must give it to them, these guys are persistent. I suppose this kind of scam must work for the perpetrators or otherwise not so many people would be wasting so much time and bandwidth in this kind of crap. I even read somewhere that this is an actual industry in Nigeria with traceable income in the overall GDP.
There must also be an unending supply of suckers out there who actually reply to this kind of correspondence. Well, good luck guys!!! Who knows, maybe some distant cousin will get the 20 millions and cut me in the profits. I am sure I will not…
Would somebody please put this guy Musere out of his misery?
By the way Mr. Musere, please check your spelling. It does not look very professional in business transactions to have these kind of errors. Besides, aren’t there 20 million reasons to look good?

Dear Andrade,
Compliments.
My name is MR. ROLAND MUSERE, a close confidant of Mr.Martin Andrade,a
foreign national but who was resident engineer who was into heavy duty
farm equipment maintenance and supplies in Zimbabwe. Since his death I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my friend’s
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my friend before they get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the security company where this huge deposits were
lodged.

The crux of the matter is that during the war against the farmers in
Zimbabwe from the supporters of President Robert Mugabe to claim all the
white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all
white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his
followers.
My friend being one of the best agric-engineers in the country and because
he did not support Mugabe’s ideas,Mugabe’s supporters invaded his site and
burnt everything in the site, killing him and his entire household and
made away with a lot of items in his site.
Before his death, he had deposited with one of the Security Companies in
Europe the sum of US$20 Million (Twenty million USD), then after his
death,because of the apprehension all over the place I decided to move out
of Zimbabwe temporarily.Indeed my late friend died just a couple of days
after he had just returned from a visit to the said Security company in
Europe where he had gone to extend the period of domicile of the Twenty
Million USD for another 12 months.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for some
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
transaction is moved out of the Security Company. You will be rewarded
with 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for
any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and
70% will be for invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your confidential phone numbers
for easy ommunication. You can contact me via mail:rmusere@mailtobe.com
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless.
Regards,
MR ROLAND MUSERE
I got this crap too, If anyone comes up with a way to contact this asshole Id love to report him for internet fraud…
Any idea what could be in it for him? I just got this note too, with my last name inserted in the proper places…
Very strange.
Well, actually there is nothing that can be done. The scam and the scammers change names and addresses all the time. The intention is for some gullible people to supply them with personal information, like bank account numbers, ss#, etc. Once they have that they can access those accounts and siphon the money out of them.
That’s what’s in it for him… :-)
I gave my phone number. Has anyone else? If so, have you received a call?
Well, I don’t think only your phone number will do a lot of harm. They can get those in bulk if they want to. I do hope though that was the only info you provide them with…
As a rule, people should delete those messages the moment they come. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
i got the letter today and i thank god that i had sense enough to look his ass up. thanks you guys.
Yeah, I got this a couple of days ago too, glad I didn’t give ’em my number!! Thanks for the warning.
I got this letter and did some research on Roland, and have spoken to him on seceral occasions. The purpose of the scam potentially is to make you think the transaction is going well, and then all hell breaks loose. He will request money to facillitate said transaction. Then you fly to london or south africa where you will cough up more $. I guess Roland Musere should’nt screw with ex-cops. I’m going to make sure this scam stops.
Full marks to Jay, but he has not in fact succeeded in stopping the man. It may be a nominally different scam, and he now claims a doctorate (i.e. he now claims to be Dr. Roland Musere), but two years later he is at it again.
However thanks for the confirmation of my suspicions.
For any of these schemes, if it looks too good to be true it probably is, but if in any doubt do an internet search on the name and see what comes up.
My accountant tells me that Interpol advice is that there are NO genuine schemes of this nature, and they have far more experience than any of us. It is also instructive to visit the website of the Nigeria High Commission in London, who give fair and very fulsome warnings against being duped by them.

Oliver
