Good day,
I am Dr. Johnson Okechuku the Branch Manager of Agricultural Development Bank (A.D.B) Achimota Branch in the Greater Accra Region of Republic of Ghana .
I am writing you following a deal in my bank that will be of an immense benefit to both of us but if you are not willing to get involved in the Deal, do not REPLY THIS E-MAIL, as you will never hear from me again.
I have contacted you to solicit your assistance in the transfer of $12,000,000.00 (Twelve million United States dollars) which have been abandoned for 7 years now in our bank without claim. The said fund was deposited by a foreign customer of our bank who unfortunately lost his life and that of his entire family in the 25th December, 2003 Chartered UTA Guinea - Boeing 727-223 air crash in Cotonou-Republic of Benin.
Since this incident occurred, our bank has waited for any of his relatives to come up for the claim but until date no body has done that and this compelled me as the branch manager to place the funds in a escrow coded/suspense account without a beneficiary until I can get a reliable, honest and a trust worthy person who will stand as the beneficiary and receive the funds into his/her bank account.
My decision to execute this deal is because according to my bank's policy which is in line with constitution of Republic of Ghana if an estate remains unclaimed after 7 years such estate will be confiscated by the Government and coupled with the fact that with all necessary legal documents the funds will be paid to any person who is presented as the beneficiary to our management team without any problem.
As a staff of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money as the beneficiary thus I contacted you to solicit your assistance to stand as the beneficiary and receive the funds into your bank account because of the geographical nature of where you live; particularly due to the sensitivity of the deal and the confidentiality herein.
Be informed that the funds will be released and transferred to your bank account as the beneficiary under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law; And for your full maximum cooperation and support that guaranteed the success of this deal, I am offering to give you 40% of the funds while 60% will be for me.
Importantly be informed that this is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer without any risk involved and you are free to come to Ghana for confirmation.
All we need to do to succeed in this deal is to obtain all necessary legal documents in your favor as the beneficiary from the respective ministries in Republic of Ghana which will back up this claim and ensure the release/transfer of the funds to any bank account you will provide.
If you are interested and willing to execute this deal with me, I will appreciate your timely response at johnsonokechuku@gmail.com
another interest this is this the reply to email address is a gmail address
but the from email id is officeinfoorji20@att.ne
when you search this email id in Google you can see many people have fallen for this type of email

new bank scam email recived
this is a classic scam here are the 4 signs this is a fake
1.) spelling notice some of the spelling mistakes
2) any reputable back would never correspond with you via email for security issues you most definitely would be contacted by phone
3) look at the copyright first mistake the corporate name is TD Canada trust
4) this is a alarming thing that even the most non- technical person can catch
if your right mouse click on the link in the email and click save link location this is where you truly will be directed to
http://www.vinners.pl/skin/frontend/tdcanadatrust.com/easyweb/xxxxxxxxxxxxx
important points
1.) this email did not end up in spam until i put it there
2.) when you clicked the link in internet explorer it did not advise this was a phishing website but Mozilla Firefox did !
this is just another reason why just having a antivirus/firewall updated browser is not always enough !

the dangers of chat rooms and children
as parents and adults its our responsibility to ensure we protect our children from threats of the world just like we would protect them from being chased by the school bully we should be doing the same for their online security
its is very easy for a child to gain access to a chat room and start chating from that time your child
may be prone to internet predictors or other threats
ways to protect your child
1.) use parental control software to restrict what websites they can surf to
2.) keep your computer in a open area where you can see your child's activity
3.) there is software available that logs all chat activity which i will post in the software section of this page
4.) look for unusual long internet activity for example if your child usual use the internet for about 1 hour but all of a sudden now its 4 hours look into it as this may be an issue the reason is if your child is now talking to someone online they may be luring in your child to "meet up " or a "relationship"
and the end know your child know thier friends and keep involved with thier activites

Protect your self from spammers
Hey everyone
One popular question is how do i protect my self from a spammer getting a hold of my email address
for one posting your email address on a forum or a website is a bad idea unless you have to for example your business website
another suggestion is to choose your email address wisely for example if your name is john it is a wise idea not to chose something like john@hotmail.com the reason for this is it protects you from one of the most popular spamming techniques a "dictionary spam attack " the logic behind this attack is when the attacker or the spammer goes against a email server in this case the hotmail email server the hacker goes by a dictionary of names so john being a popular name it would be one of the prime targets for spamming in this type of attack
when the spammer does not get a bounce back says hey this email address doesn't exist he or she now knows that this is a active email address
but if john were to select john.doe@hotmail.com he cuts the probability in half that this type of attack would effect him

The misconceptions about network security for both home and business
everyday millions and millions of computers around the world are compromised and the users of these computers don’t even know from the big corporations to the home users everyone is at risk and the scary part about it is that most of the users of the computers don’t even know !!!
the problem is number one EDUCATION some people think just because they have an antivirus/firewall on their computer that they are in some sort of untouchable zone wrong !!! millions of different types of malware is launched onto the internet a day and for security professionals to keep up is near impossible security is a balance between education and common sense for instance a common thing now is to get a spam message from a bank asking for information such as your account number now site back and think now why would a bank ask for your account number ?
live by this rule if a person were to call me and ask for this information would i give it to them without challenging them ? if not then why would you just give your information to a computer without questioning it ?
