CONFIDENTIAL FAMILY'S FUND TRANSFER

ATTN: PLEASE,

You may be surprise to recieve this letter from me since you don't know me personally,but for introduction, I am Mr. Johnson dube, the Son of Dr. Benneth dube, who was recently murdered because of the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact from the INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGNETWORK ON LINE here in Johannesburg, South Africa and decided to write you. I'm also here with my only son.

My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers who were murdered in cold blood by the agents of the rulling government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party,partly controlled by the white minority.Before his death,he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of FIFTEEN MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$15.5M) with a security and finance company as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The money was deposited in a box as a Gemstone for the family's use in order to avoid prying eyes from the masses, and much demurrage from the security company.

This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machineries and chemicals for the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reform act,which wholly affected the rich white farmers ,and some few blacks vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the Government.This led to rampant killings and mob actions by war veterans and some political thugs.

More than forty-nine(49)people have been killed and countless numbers of farm workers displaced. Heads of government from the west,especially Britain and United States OF America have voiced their condemnation over Mugabe's plans. Subsequently,the south African Developmen Community ( SADEC) has continuosly supported Mugabe's new land reform act.It is against this background that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer this money into a foreign account.

I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money would be transferd without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family's wealth and South African government seems to be playing around with them. Sincerely speaking, I am faced with the dilenma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same political history and moreover, the South African foreign Exchange policy doesn't allow such investment hence I am seeking for assylum.

As someone whom I am entrusting my future and that of my family in his hands,I am honestly letting you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business doesn't necessarily matter.

So please, if you consider to assist my family and I, I will be willing to give you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for expenses incured in the process of transfering this money into your nominated account overseas,then 70% will be for investing profitably in your country on behalf of my family.

Infact, I will like to invest in your country on commercial property based on your advice and I will recieve assurance that you won't sit on this money when it is transfered into your personal or company's account.If my request meets with your kind considerations, please send to me your personal details so as to discuss the modalities necessary for the success of this transaction.
I also want you to know that this transaction is highly confidential and should be kept by you alone.I hope to hear from you through my e-mail address.

Best Regards,

Mr Johnson dube

Rangkaian email-email seperti ini merupakan rangkaian email sampah yang hampir selalu mampir di inbox email kita setiap bulannya. Mengesalkan sekali. Terutama jika mereka menggunakan judul ‘URGENT” atau “VERY IMPORTANT”. Membuat ‘kambing hitam istilah urgent dan very important. Akhirnya, begitu ada email yang benar-benar asli bersifat urgent dan very important, pemilik email cenderung untuk mengabaikannya.

Betul sekali pada engine penyedia layanan email, ada fasilitas SPAM, atau anti Junk Mail, dimana jika kita memasukkan alamat email pengirim email sampah seperti di atas, maka otomatis alamat email sampah tersebut akan diblokir sehingga tidak dapat masuk ke dalam inbox mail kita. Mereka langsung dikirim ke bagian junk mail dengan sebuah peringatan jika kita memang ingin tetap membukanya bahwa isi di luar tanggung jawab penyedia layanan email.

Ada yang pernah terkecoh, tertipu dan ikut dengan tawaran email-email seperti di atas tidak? Semoga tidak. Tapi, sebenarnya, ada banyak yang sudah tertipu dengan email-email sampah seperti di atas. Terutama karena tawaran jumlah uangnya yang lumayan aduhai. Kebetulan, saya menonton acara OPRAH WINFREY yang tertayang pertama kali tanggal 19 Oktober 2007 (bagi yang belum sempat menonton, jangan khawatir, Metrotv sering mengulang-ulang koleksi tayangan OPRAH yang mereka miliki kok. Semoga saja besok-besok diputar ulang lagi tayangan ini); tema OPRAH kali ini tentang Negerian Shifter. Yaitu, ulah penipuan yang dilakukan oleh orang-orang Nigeria dengan cara memindahkan dana dari rekening bank yang satu ke bank yang lain yang notabene merupakan rekening pribadi mereka alias penipuan uang.

Adalah Brian Ross yang bekerja sebagai seorang jurnalis di BBC yang menyelidiki sebenarnya, darimana sih email-email sampah ini berada. Tentu saja setelah sebelumnya dia mendapat banyak sekali pengaduan dari masyarakat yang telah tertipu sekian ratus bahkan hingga sekian ribu dollar Amerika. Dengan bantuan teknologi dan kerjasama bilateral antara biro penyelidikan Amerika dan Nigeria, maka email-email inipun ditelusuri asal muasal tempat pertama kali email ini beredar.

Nigeria, adalah salah satu negara di Afrika yang memiliki sumber daya dari pertambangan yang cukup menjanjikan. Tingkat stabilitas ekonominya lumayan tinggi sehingga memungkinkan bagi pemerintah untuk menyelenggarakan sistem pendidikan yang lumayan bervariasi bagi masyarakatnya. Di perkotaan, para penduduknya banyak yang mengenyam pendidikan hingga ke bangku pendidikan tertinggi. Jadi, untuk soal kepandaian, para pemuda Nigeria jangan diragukan lagi.Hanya saja, hal ini tidak diimbangi oleh ketersediaan lapangan pekerjaan yang cukup memadai bagi mereka semua. Hampir setengah dari jumlah keseluruhan penduduk Nigeria adalah pengangguran (baik yang terselubung maupun yang terang-terangan). Disinilah pangkal dari maraknya tindakan kejahatan di negara tersebut mulai berkembang. Bahayanya, kejahatan ini ternyata bukan hanya terjadi di negara ini saja, tapi juga mulai merambah ke negara-negara lain. Salah satunya lewat bantuan internet (ingat kan, Nigeria punya banyak sekali pemuda-pemuda pandai yang menganggur).

Lewat penelitian dan penelusuran dari sebuah email yang menawarkan sebuah penawaran dana tak terpakai yang jumlahnya amat besar (sekitar $ 30.000.000, Brian Ross dengan bantuan biro penyelidikan federal antara dua negara (Amerika dan Nigeria) akhirnya sampai ke sebuah alamat tempat email itu pertama kali dikirim. Tempatnya ternyata hanya berupa warung-warung internet. Warung internet yang disewakan per-jam-jaman, tempatnya kecil, sederhana dan ada di tengah perkampungan penduduk. Sama sekali tidak mencolok. Disana duduk beberapa pemuda Nigeria yang asyik mengutak-atik data calon konsumen yang berhasil mereka tipu sekaligus mengutak-atik data bank yang sekiranya bisa dipakai sebagai alasan bagi mereka untuk mengeruk uang (lewat fasilitas online banking).

Caranya, si konsumen yang me-reply email tawaran uang tersebut, akan diberi penjelasan bahwa untuk mencairkan uang yang jumlahnya amat banyak tersebut, mereka harus terlebih dahulu mengirimkan biaya ongkos trasfer/kliring sejumlah sekian ribu dollar ke sebuah rekening tertentu. Jika bukti transfer sudah dikirim, maka segera uang tersebut akan dimasukkan ke rekening mereka. Tentu saja uang yang dijanjikan ini tidak akan pernah ada sedangkan uang “pancingan” sudah berhasil mereka keruk.

Setiap hari, para pemuda ini berusaha untuk melacak email-email yang yang dapat dikirim email penawaran mereka lewat berbagai macam jaringan. Lewat jaringan milis, lewat forum-forum diskusi, forum tanya jawab, form-form data-data pribadi yang lupa ditutup, katalog-katalog pembelian dan juga kecerobohan orang-orang yang sign out-nya tidak komplet. Akhirnya, para pemuda ini diringkus oleh pihak kepolisian.

Tapi, masalah ternyata tidak berhenti dengan ditangkapnya sekelompok pemuda-pemuda tersebut oleh pihak kepolisian. Pemuda pandai yang pengangguran dan tidak punya iman masih banyak yang berkeliaran di Nigeria sana. Kejahatan internet sudah menjadi penyakit menular yang ditularkan dari mulut ke mulut. Jadi, ada banyak sekali “copy cat” yang meneruskan kejahatan tersebut. Jadi, kalau ada sebuah atau beberapa email yang menawarkan sejumlah uang pada kalian.... hm, jangan senang dulu. Bisa jadi kamu sedang diincar oleh penipu.
