disclaimer

This web site is a collection and curation (with additional original editorial and creative content) of letters containing or describing apparent attempts at advance fee fraud.

Individuals carrying out these described frauds may request their intended victims to deposit money into certain bank accounts. The mention of such accounts does not imply that the banks mentioned condone or are even aware of such behavior, or that the banks even exist.
