Otros mensajes tienen como remitentes(sender) NOMBRES AFRICANOS/ INGLESES/ITALIANOS/ ETC. En ellos., se presentan como Jefes Contables o Auditores de Bancos Africanos. Los nombres son generalmente REALES,de funcionarios Bancarios, etc., pero el/los que envian el mensaje no lo son. Generalmente cuentan en sus mensajes que en su Banco hay una 'CUENTA DORMIDA' de un cliente del Banco, por UN TOTAL que puede ser de U$D- o- Euros 1.000.000 - a- 25- o- 30.000.000.- Dicen que el titular de esa cuenta falleció en un accidente aereo(dan link de algún diario donde se puede comprobar que ese accidente existió y que un señor con el mismo nombre del cliente del Banco, falleció en ese accidente, no dejando HEREDEROS.

A tal efecto, ellos nos harán 'pasar' por herederos del fallecido cliente. Nos piden nuestros datos personales, telefonos. domicilio, nro. de Cuenta de nuestro Banco, fotocopia de nuestro Pasaporte, etc,etc. Dicen que una vez aprobado por el banco, ellos nos transferiran todo el dinero a nuestra cuenta particular en el Banco. Luego vendrán a visitarnos a nuestra residencia, para proceder a retirar su parte, y que tal vez ellos estarían interesados en invertir todo o parte de su dinero en nuestro pais. Otras veces(según quien escribió el mensaje) nos dicen que el dinero será enviado en efectivo a nuestro domicilio, en una caja o cajón por correo privado aereo(FEDEX/UPS/ etc. y que deberemos pagarles por la Documentación del Banco, haciendo una transferencia internacional a la cuenta y al nombre de la persona que ellos nos indican . A veces, de antemano, nos comunican que habrá que pagar entre 100 y 250 usd. o euros por el envío de los documentos por correo privado aereo FEDEX/UPS/ u otro.

FILANTROPÍA | Algo más de 11 millones de dólares
Una pareja canadiensedona un premio millonariode lotería para obras decaridad
El diario británico Daily Mail se ha hecho eco de
una noticia sorprendente. De esas que a uno le
devuelven la fe en el ser humano.
Una pareja canadiense ganó, en un sorteo a
principios de año, 11,2 millones de dólares en
la lotería de su país y han decidido invertir todo
el montante del premio en obras de caridad
destinadas a hospitales, beneficencia y algunos
de sus amigos.
Allen y Violet Large, ambos de septuagenarios,
han declarado que su buena fortuna en realidad
ha supuesto "un quebradero de cabeza", así
que decidieron no gastarlo a lo loco ni
despilfarrarlo en cosas absurdas.
Partiendo de esta premisa, estos ungidos por el
azar de la lotería se hicieron a la idea que era
mejor dar que recibir y se han desprendido
de todo el importe del premio.
Toda una vida juntos
Esta pareja ejemplar se casó hace 36 años. Cuando
se jubilaron (él trabajó como soldador y ella en
varias firmas de ropa y cosméticos), en 1983,
se trasladaron de Ontario a Lower Truro una
pequeña localidad de Nueva Escocia en busca
de una vida más tranquila.
"Siempre hemos sido una familia acomodada, no
millonarios, pero vivimos bien", ha dicho Allen
para justificar su falta de ambición económica.
En el momento en el que se conoció la noticia
de su premio, la pareja pasaba por el mal trago
de que Violet estuviera inmersa en una agresiva
terapia contra el cáncer. En su día temieron
que se les acercara "gente retorcida", así que
decidieron desentenderse de lo que para ellos
no sólo no tenía importancia, sino que podía
acarrearles más problemas que beneficios.
"El dinero que ganamos no representa
nada; nos tenemos el uno al otro", apostilla
Allen en el diario canadiense Toronto Star,
muy contento por la recuperación de Violet,
que ha sido sometida a una operación para
aniquilar su tumor y que ha celebrado el fin
de la quimioterapia hace una semana.
Un premio muy repartido
Entre los beneficiarios de la generosidad de
este matrimonio, que primero se ocupó de
ayudar a algunos de sus familiares cercanos,
se encuentran los hospitales de Truro y Halifax
(ambos en Nueva Escocia, Canadá). Estos
centros dedicarán el dinero a mejorar sus
programas de diabetes, Alzheimer y cáncer.
El cuerpo de bomberos local, algunas
iglesias y cementerios, Cruz Roja y el
Ejército de Salvación han sido otras de las
numerosas instituciones que han recibido
este premio 'de rebote'.
Los Large no han especificado cuánto dinero
han destinado a cada organización, aunque
han destacado que todas y cada una les han
hecho llegar su agradecimiento por este
emotivo gesto.
"Es algo que nos hace sentir muy bien; sobre
todo porque se van a poder hacer muchas
cosas fantásticas con ese dinero", ha dicho
Violet, que insiste en que "somos personas
muy afortunadas y no tenemos ni quejas
ni reclamaciones que hacerle a la vida".

Fraude a través del

AFRICA - La estafa nigeriana,
o timo
nigeriano
Sylvia
Ubal
Jueves 31 de julio de 2008,
puesto en línea
por Barómetro Internacional, Sylvia
Ubal
La tentación por el
dinero fácil no sólo forma parte de nuestra vida cotidiana en la calle, en el
día a día, sino que es una profesión que, al parecer, cada vez se adapta mejor
al avance de nuevas tecnologías y esta cada vez más fuerte en la red. Entre las
estafas virtuales hay de todo y para todo el mundo.
La estafa nigeriana, o
timo nigeriano, también conocida como timo 419 (por el número de artículo del
código penal de Nigeria), Consiste en un fraude en que el estafador obtiene
dinero de la víctima por concepto de adelanto a cuenta de una supuesta cantidad
millonaria de dinero que se le ha prometido.
Existen muchísimos
argumentos y variantes de la estafa, pero todos ellos tienen en común la
promesa de participar en una gran fortuna, aquellas historias más disparatadas,
que quizás parezcan imposibles de creer, pero que a algunos puedan sonarles tan
verídicas, como tentadoras, así como también los diversos trucos para que la
víctima pague una suma de dinero por adelantado como condición para acceder a
tal fortuna.
Este fraude está hoy
especialmente extendido a través del correo electrónico, generalmente de
diferentes argumentos que se usa como justificación de una suma millonaria, una
herencia vacante que la víctima adquirirá, una cuenta bancaria abandonada, un
contrato de obra pública, o simplemente de una gigantesca fortuna que alguien
desea hacer un donativo de caridad antes de morir, la excusa de la lotería
millonaria que la víctima ha ganado es la más común de todas
Varios países de África albergan
a estos timadores
Las operaciones están
organizadas con gran profesionalidad en países como Nigeria, Sierra Leona,
Costa de Marfil, Ghana, Togo, Benín y Sudáfrica generalmente estos estafadores
provenientes del África Occidental y se han establecido además en diversas ciudades
europeas (especialmente Ámsterdam, Londres y Madrid, entre otras), como también
en Dubai (Emiratos Árabes Unidos) con oficinas, números de fax y teléfonos
celulares y a veces sitios fraudulentos en Internet.
A menudo se les dice a
las víctimas que deben viajar allí para cobrar sus millones, para lo cual deben
primero pagar una elevada suma de dólares, que parece sin embargo
insignificante si se la compara con la fortuna que los incautos esperan recibir
El trato propuesto
suele presentarse como un delito de guante blanco inocuo con el fin de disuadir
a los inversores de llamar a las autoridades.
A quien acepte la
oferta, los timadores le enviarán algunos documentos, archivos gráficos
adjuntados a mensajes de correo electrónico con sellos y firmas de aspecto
oficial. A medida que prosiga el intercambio, pronto se le pedirá que envíe
dinero o viaje al exterior a determinados países africanos, entre ellos
Nigeria, Costa de Marfil y Sudáfrica. Esto es especialmente peligroso, porque
en ocasiones el inversor puede acabar secuestrado o incluso muerto por el
timador. En cualquier caso, la transferencia nunca llega, pues los millones
jamás han existido
Otras modalidades de estafa
Hay otras modalidades
que circula en el Internet y tienen un trabajo más profundo que habla de
fortunas millonarias. Son puntuales, y demuestran que la víctima ha sido
seguida de cerca por los estafadores. Por ejemplo, es la de anunciarle a un
profesional que se ha hecho acreedor de un premio de una célebre fundación por
sus trabajos en determinada materia, y que deberá viajar hasta algún lugar
remoto del mundo para recibirlo.
Los organizadores
prometen costear los gastos de pasajes y estadía para asistir a la ceremonia de
premiación, mientras que el engañado sólo deberá hacer un depósito en “alguna”
cuenta para cubrir los gastos de tasas y demás...
Detrás de todo esto no
sólo hay jóvenes sin demasiadas ganas de trabajar, sino que los fraudes online
se han convertido aún más peligroso. Estos emails, que en algunos casos,
incluso, pueden resultar divertidos, son enviados por verdaderas bandas de
delincuentes que no vacilarían en matar en caso de ser enfrentados fuera de la
red.
Según informa el New
York Times, algunas víctimas que se atrevieron a viajar para encontrar a sus
supuestos socios terminaron siendo robados o secuestrados y asesinados.
Los estafadores no son
personas agradables, son ladrones, mentirosos, se trata de gente realmente
inescrupulosas y sin moral. Sólo basta con estar atentos, y si la fortuna viene
demasiado fácil, es porque hay que desconfiar. “Cuando la tentación es grande,
hasta el diablo desconfía...”
Si algo suena
demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente no lo sea. Ese es el mejor
consejo que podemos darles a los usuarios de Internet.
