That He once lived in California when we were Children, my mother used to baby sit my Uncle peter. once he was of age he got a job with Texaco Oil and the refinery closed and was sent to Africa he went to continue his job. and he finally made it to London England. where he continued to work. In the year of 2007 my uncle had a Heart Attach and got in a accident. my Auntie and his lil girl were killed instantly. Which made me next of Kin. His name was Mark Peter Scoggins. 54 years old when he died. There is Millions of dollars which he left me. I sent Info to John Liddington in North England where he works. is legit. My uncle did not pay his Taxes,and owed 37,British pounds. so I have been sending money to london. There are Three Lawyers invalved. Michael Collenson, John Leddington, and Hilifax Bank. He sent me Deeds of Deposit, to Hilifax Bank in uk. My uncle and I grew up together , when I my self was young then he moved away Please tell me if it is a scam or not I got a Death Certification, and Property Deed. The Bank told me to come down with the Deeds to claim the money. The Courts of Wells made me next of Kin and sent proof It is so real to be a scam. Please say it is not a scam. How can I reach the IRS of england to see if they are paying on the Taxes Please let me know. Thanks Diana and if it is a scam how can I get my money back. 10,000.00USD.

  3. ScamRadar says:

    Sounds fishy…

    Why would you be paying HIS taxes?

  4. me says:

    have you tried contacting “hilifax bank” directly? “courts of wells”? or checked to see if there really are lawyers with those names?

    The real bank name is halifax, and they get a lot of fraud attempts. google it for more examples.

    it’s very easy to make phony certificates for anything.

    contact Scotland Yard, Fraud division for help. be prepared to send them copies of all messages you’ve received.
    don’t send another penny. and don’t expect any back.

  5. jnhyder says:

    Dear sirs.kindly advise me that a mr charles Annan some how penitrated in my skype and started talking about some large amount which he is insist that he wants to send it to me.He introdused himself as the younger brother of Mr.Kofi Annan and then he requred my bank account and some other infomation such as the bank swift no etc.And ofcourse i did not buy his argument..Just wanted to inform you and if you could do something atleast he wont do any harm to someone.Thanks jawad.

  6. John M says:

    Dear Sir,

    I think the email above is to assassinate the Character of Kofi Annan and his brothers.Since Mr Jawad is very greedy and wants to bit more than he can chew.He has tried on many accounts to deceive people coming to his country for real investment.Try your best to ignore what he says and the gentle man posting this message through face book is just a little boy of 12 years who is seeking cheap popularity.Kindly ignore them and remove them from your page.Concerned Ghanaian.
    John.M

  7. John M says:

    KOF ANNAN,CHARLES ANNAN AND BROTHERS ARE GENUINE AND WELL RESPECTED PEOPLE SO STOP INSULTING THEIR PRESTIGE

    Dear Sir,
    Ignore whatever Mr JNH or Jawad is talking.Genuine investors are hard to come-by especially in Arabic countries where they have terrorism sponsored activities.Mr JNH must stop criticizing genuine people like Kofi Annan and brothers Charles Annan and others.Please Please Please Please.Mr JNH and all his family can not reach the status of this people and using your goggle web page to criticize world citizens is too cheap popularity for him.He is ungrateful and this pages should be removed from your website.I don’t know where it is now a crime to invest overseas or because these people are respected Ghanaian?
    John.M(CONCERNED GHANAIAN)

  8. Yvonna says:

    Be very careful!
    This John M from Ghana seems to be the scammer he is defending here. These stories about Kofi Annan are pure crap, commonly used by nigerian and ghanaian scammers. You just need to google for the name or search it on http://www.scamalert4u.com … So, don’t fall for this little pee boy from ghana.

    Regarding the first message above: That also sounds pretty much like one of these 419-scams. Remember: Whenever you receive a private email with money involved then it’s for 99.9% a scam, especially if it comes from westafrica or any nigerian / ghanaian who lives abroad. The best thing you can do is to report it on http://www.scamradar and on http://www.scamalert4u.com. The more people can be saved.
    Have a secure time,
    Yvonna Chegey

    KOF ANNAN,CHARLES ANNAN AND BROTHERS ARE GENUINE AND WELL RESPECTED PEOPLE SO STOP INSULTING THEIR PRESTIGE
    PLEASE Yvonna Chegey YOU BETTER DO OTHER JOBS AND STOP THIS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.JOHN M

  10. Yvonna says:

    @ John M. Hey Mugu, who is asking you? Honestly say what is your reason to defend criminal 419-scammers and how you are connected to the case.
    If you can not do that better stop barking your bla-bla.

  11. John M says:

    I am not defending anybody but what is wrong with foreign investment and why do you criticize legitimate people?

  12. jnhyder says:

    Dear Yvonna.Well said, if these Nig___s have that much money then why not invest in their own country? And this John M sure he must be the real scammer.He should see his countrymen playing games. I am sure that Mr. Annan and his family are respected people but people like John M,well no need to say more.A Ni—- is always a Nig—.

  13. Hello Jawad. Yes, it is well known that nigerian scammers like to talk about (and promise) the big money to trap greedy people. Since some years, nigerians export their scam business to other countries like Ghana … Of course, Kofi Annan is a respected person, but not these pee-boys who impersonate him and use his name for their scams.
    By the way: it is said that the bonobos are the creature, closest to humans. They originally lived in East Africa until the first humans appeared. It is said they felt unwell in that company and marched westward. Reaching the next ocean, they splitted up in Ghanabos and Nigebos. You know the end?

    @ John Mugu, you better read my post of July 8th again.
    Yvonna

  14. John M says:

    OUT OF LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE ACTIVITIES AND WORK TO DO,YOU DON’T KNOW WHO IS NIGERIAN AND GHANAIAN.I DON’T BLAME ANY OF YOU BUT KEEP WRITING RUBBISH THAT WILL NOT TAKE YOU ANYWHERE.TALKING ABOUT SCAM HOW DO YOU KNOW SCAM FROM ORIGINAL?THERE ARE WIDE SPREAD CORRUPTION AMONG THE LEADERS OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES.TALK ABOUT ROBERT MUGABE AND HOSNI MUBARAK AND ETC.SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH AND STOP INSULTING ME BECAUSE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A PAGE ON GOOGLE TO DO RUBBISH.GO TO SWITZERLAND BANKING STRUCTURES,ARE AFRICAN NOT THE HIGHEST DEPOSITORS OF FUND.GET A JOB.OPEN YOUR EYES AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH

  15. jnhyder says:

    Dear,Yvonna Chegay.Thanks for your agreeing with me.As of John M,s mail of 10th july ,and i repeat his words,Lack of costructive actitivies bla bla.We both have hit the target.John M. it is our moral duty to inform the innocent public to be careful from your kind of niggers and not to fall prey in your traps.
    And Yvonna have you forgotten.that A NIGGER IS A NIGGER.Keep it up friend

  16. jnhyder says:

    One more thing Yvonna to prove my point i can forward all the corespondense between me and the nigger who claims to be the younger brother of Mr Kofi Annan,and maybe this bonobo John M see it and know the facts of his countrymen.A nigger is a nigger is a nigger.

  17. @ Jawad: Sorry if I now don’t agree with you. Me am an African myself, and I don’t like the word “nigger” to be used. Period.

    @ John Mugu: Thanks for agreeing that you write rubbish: “I DON’T BLAME ANY OF YOU BUT KEEP WRITING RUBBISH…”. We do not talk about African Leaders and their commonly corrupt habits. We talk about you, defending criminal nigerian advance-fee-fraudsters, did you forget that? Me am busting scammers since more than 10 years. I know very well what I talk about when I hear about “Kofi Annan and his brothers”. Bad luck for you, I’ve got a good job and a life, am not in need to talk rubbish like you. I guess I repeat myself but I strongly recommend to read diligently my post of July 8th.
    My Regards

    The greatest New York Yankees have long been counted on one hand. Babe Ruth is the unquestioned No. 1, after which the order is debatable but not the names: alphabetically, Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle.

    Add Derek Jeter to the mix.

    Jeter became the first Yankee to accumulate 3,000 hits in pinstripes when he hit a solo home run off Tampa Bay lefty David Price in the third inning Saturday in the Bronx. Jeter, who just returned after spending three weeks on the disabled list with a calf injury, singled in the first inning for No. 2,999. In his next at-bat, Jeter ripped a full-count slider from Price into the leftfield seats. And despite the recent cyber-trend to disparage Jeter’s game and accomplishments, he deserves mention alongside the best to play for baseball’s most storied franchise.

    Precisely where does he rank? From a poetic standpoint, No. 2 would be the perfect perch. Cue a tape of Bob Sheppard to make the announcement:

    Gone are the days of snipping a few interesting looking items from your local Sunday paper. Extreme couponing requires real commitment and organization. Before you even get to the store you have to start researching in newspapers and scourging online sites such as Coupons.com, RedPlum and the Grocery Game. Once you have cross-referenced your coupons you need to find a binder with slide-in slots and start filing them by item, expiration date and participating store. For the dedicated shoppers this gathering, cutting, printing and cataloging is a part time job taking up hours of each week. If you don’t have several hours a week to dedicate to the work you will lose interest quickly. It might become necessary to create a support network of friends, family and neighbors so you can swap coupons and share ideas.

    Once you have your binder ready and you have checked your email account for any last minute sale specials, you are ready to start the business of shopping. In the world of extreme couponing this does not mean a single trip to your local supermarket. Pack a water bottle and ready yourself for a long journey. Many coupons are store specific so you will need to start jumping from one store to the next. Is the saving worth the extra time spent in traffic, gasoline used or minutes spent waiting for public transportation? Unless you have gargantuan calf muscles and are prepared to carry a heavy load, cycling may become difficult for this type of shopping.

    Great places to retire can be found outside of Florida and Arizona. In fact, many can be found outside of the U.S. entirely. Safe, attractive and affordable places to retire are scattered across the globe, from Latin America to Asia and even Europe. We’ve narrowed our list to eight overseas retirement hot spots.

    More from Kiplinger.com

    • 10 Tax-Friendly States for Retirees

    • What $300,000 Buys You Around the World

    • 6 Great Jobs for Retirees

    Two factors critical to retirees (and their wallets) shaped our choices: cost of living and health care. To make our picks we consulted several experts on travel, tourism and overseas retirement, including Jennifer Stevens, executive editor of International Living, and Kathleen Peddicord, publisher of LiveandInvestOverseas.com. We also gave added weight to the cost of living, real estate and health care components of International Living’s Global Retirement Index of the top 25 countries for retirees.

    A note on cost of living: Monthly budgets for overseas retirees will vary widely, depending on country, lifestyle and housing type. There’s no one-size-fits-all dollar amount. The estimates provided for each retirement hot spot offer a ballpark figure, including housing expenses, for how much a “typical” retired American couple would need to live comfortably.

    Home sale prices in the U.S. are expected to fall a further 2.4 percent in the second half of 2011, compared to the first half, as bank-owned properties drive down prices, unemployment remains high, and consumer confidence stays weak, according to a report released Friday by Truckee, Calif.-based data and valuation firm Clear Capital. Of 50 U.S. markets tracked for the report, only five metro areas are forecast to produce home-price gains in the second half: Washington, New York, Orlando, Dallas, and San Francisco.

    U.S. home prices fell by 3.2 percent in the first six months of 2011 compared to the previous half, with median home prices dropping to $170,000, despite a 0.9 percent increase in the second quarter, estimates Clear Capital. The peak of the market was in summer of 2006, at $240,000, indicating a median price decline of nearly 31 percent since then.

    If cabinets are structurally sound but shabby, spruce them up with a coat of paint. Paying a pro costs as little as $50 per door, less if you tackle the prepping and painting yourself. One pick from our tests is the self-priming Behr Premium Plus Ultra Satin Enamel, $33 per gallon at Home Depot.

    When talking to teens, the straightforward approach will likely lead you into a brick wall. Instead, initiate a conversation with seemingly harmless questions. “You might be trying to find out the name of your child’s new friend. Don’t say, ‘Who’s that kid you’re always texting lately?'” says Robin Haight, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist who specializes in adolescents and who is in private practice in Vienna, Va. “Instead, ask banal questions: ‘What video game are you playing?’ ‘Do you get high scores?’ Your son might start talking about the game and mention that ‘Brian’ gets better scores. A few days later, you might hear more about Brian. With teens, information comes in snippets. As a parent, you gather those bits and try to fill in the big picture.”

    At first they didn’t let little Marta, 6 years old and with the hint of a shy smile, play with the boys. It wasn’t that she was too small, or because she wasn’t good enough, but for the simple fact that she was a girl. And in the impoverished town of Dois Riachos, and indeed across Brazil, soccer was not only the national game, but a game for men.

    So Marta shrugged her shoulders and went back to the wasteland lot down a potholed lane from her tiny family home. There she kicked around an ancient soccer ball that had been punctured and deflated. When that disintegrated completely she rolled up discarded plastic and paper bags, then knotted them together to construct a makeshift ball.

    Under current conditions, and presuming continued job growth, Villacorta and Chen both say home prices may reach bottom in the first quarter of 2012. In its most recent economic projection, the Fed expects the jobless rate in 2012 to fall to between 7.8 percent and 8.2 percent, with gross domestic product growth anticipated at from 3.3 percent to 3.7 percent. “Those [price] upticks from April are being sustained,” says Villacorta. “Albeit slim, it’s a step in the right direction.”

    Here are America’s 5 next best performing housing markets:

  26. John M says:

    When chatting, “don’t echo back what they’ve said to prove you’ve been listening. A typical teen might reply, ‘Duh, I just said that,'” observes Haight. “Instead, describe the emotion they’ve expressed.” For example, if your son brings home a D in geometry and says, “I suck at math,” show empathy by saying, “It’s scary to feel like you don’t get something.” You’re keying in to the emotion, not telling him he’s wrong (“You’re not stupid!”) or going into fix-it mode (“We’ll get a tutor”).
    And don’t always try to lighten the mood when your child brings up unhappy feelings; you may shut down a conversation before it starts. “Put yourself in her shoes,” says Lauren Ayers, Ph.d., a psychologist in Saratoga Springs, NY, and author of Teenage Girls: A Parent’s Survival Manual. “Remember what it was like to feel vulnerable in a high-pressure situation. You may think a joke puts the problem in perspective, but you’re really belittling her.” Instead, empathize with the emotion. Odds are, she’ll tell you more about how she’s feeling.

  27. John M says:

    “If your kid doesn’t talk to you much, you can’t take it personally,” says Haight. “Part of raising kids involves becoming aware that they have a separate life, and that they will make decisions that don’t necessarily reflect on you.” Accepting that is critical as your child matures. I find solace in this comment from Ayers: “If you’re circulating enough in your kids’ lives — driving them places, having dinner together — you hear and see enough to spot trouble. Just because kids don’t talk, that doesn’t mean there’s a problem. The fact is, teens aren’t so good at communicating. Were you as articulate at 15 as you were at 25? Set expectations low, and raise them as time passes.”

    So meet my new mantra: Less is more. There’s a limit to how much I can and should know about my daughter’s private life. It hurts — I won’t lie — to feel excluded from her thoughts. But as an adult, I have to put my feelings aside. Right now, I need to do what’s right for her, which means giving her room to grow…and accepting that running commentary may not always be part of the picture.

    Welcome to the ‘world of reality’ guys… read this article explains how these trashy bastards live in a world of deceit and will scam you out of your last nickel. Hold on to your wallets… and beware !

    ‘ Online scams create ‘Yahoo! Millionaires’
    By Leonard Lawal, FORTUNE Magazine
    In Ghana, where scamming is an art, the quickest path to wealth for the cyber-generation runs through a computer screen.

    (FORTUNE Magazine) – Akin is, like many things in cyberspace, an alias! In real life he’s 19. He wears Adidas sneakers, a Rolex Submariner watch, and kilos of gold around his neck.

    Akin, who lives in Accra, is one of a new generation of entrepreneurs that has emerged in this capital city of two million, Ghana’s largest. His mother makes $30 a month as a cleaner, his father about the same hustling at bus stations. But Akin has made it big working long days at Internet Cafes and is now the main provider for his family and legions of relatives. Call him a ‘Yahoo! Millionaire.’

    GHANA SCAMS : REPORT FROM INSIDE A Ghanaian SCAM CYBER CAFE – Americans are the favorite scam target ”We are the winners you are the losers!”

    Akin buys things online – expensive Laptops, BlackBerries, Cameras, Flat-screen TVs – using stolen credit cards and aliases. He has the loot shipped via FedEx or DHL to safe houses in Europe, where it is received by friends, then shipped on to Accra to be sold on the black market. (He figures Americans are too smart to sell a camera on eBay to a buyer with an address in Ghana.)

    Akin’s main office is in any one of the numerous Internet Cafes scattered around Accra. He spends up to ten hours a day there, seven days a week, huddled over one of many computers, working his scams.

    And he’s not alone: The cafe is crowded most of the time with other youngsters, like Akin; working for a ‘chairman’ who buys the computer time and hires them to extract e-mail addresses and credit card information from the thin air of cyberspace. Akin’s chairman, who is computer illiterate, gets a 60 percent cut and reserves another 20 percent to pay off cafe operators and law enforcement officials who come around, or teachers who complain when young boys cut school. That still puts plenty of cash in Akin’s pocket. ‘

    I think that shows who John M. is.

    “For the better part of a year, I have something sitting on my chest. It’s not a medical condition. It is that pressure of ‘Is this going to end, when is this going to end?'”

    Unlike in much of Europe, the safety net of the U.S. welfare system times out for the long-term unemployed. The federal government and many states have provided extra help for those caught up in the worst labor market in decades but the U.S. debt crisis rules out further extension of the programs.

    Coyne is typical of many middle-class Americans now struggling to get by.

  30. John M says:

    The number of Americans signed up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — which provides food stamps — has reached its highest level since it began in 1939. One in seven Americans now receive aid from the program.

    Medicaid enrollment as of 2010 surpassed 68.2 million, its highest level in the program’s history.

    Cuts to these programs now seem inevitable as states struggle to plug budget gaps and lawmakers on Capital Hill turn their attention to the budget deficit.

    The White House has reportedly agreed to $100 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next 10 years. Some House Republicans want cuts of more than seven times that amount.

  31. John M says:

    to an encouraging mid-year report by Nielsen SoundScan, album sales experienced their first boost since SoundScan started tracking digital sales in 2004–up 8.5 percent from last year’s all-time lows. This is good news, and on top of that, this week Eminem became the first artist to sell 1 million digital copies of a single album. Physical album sales may be down 11 percent–that’s the bad news–but digital album sales are in fact up 19 percent, so maybe downloading (at least the legal kind) isn’t killing music after all.

  32. jnhyder says:

    Yvonna.I am sorry for using the word nig— I did not mean to offend you but since you used the words for nigarens and ghanians ( bonons.etc) in one of your mails of 8th july.Now let me explain the real story.Now this John M has changed his style suddenly and now he talking about world affairs.Funny. In one of his mails he accused me of deceiving people which i have never done.Yesterday i said that if you really want to know the facts i can forward the emails which i received and still receiving them.After seeing them you can decide what going on with these people.and if this John.M could also see those emails it will be an eye opener.Thanks and sorry again.

  33. Hey Jawad, it’s ok. Well, if you want to forward scam mails to us please, use a valid sender address on which we can reply to you, that will prevent your mail from going to trash. Yes, we definitly appreciate your reportings.
    Have a safe time,
    Yvonna

  34. jnhyder says:

    Yvonna.I have forwarded the emails on scamradar.com .Please have a look and kindly send me your comments Thanks JNH

  35. Steve George says:

    I get these scam emails all the time and I refer them to http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ . They don’t so much play on peoples greed but more on their dreams and desires, especially the vulnerable and less well off. I like to have a little play around with them until I get bored. I put all manner of obstacles and suggestions to them to see how innovative and deviant they can be. Then, I tell them exactly how I feel about them and I don’t mince my words. Funnily enough… the emails stop! Strange! People don’t be fooled. If anybody has got a windfall for you it will come through appropriate channels and those concerned will be only too happy to for you to check their credentials. Furthermore, they would insist.
    If you can say yes to any of these questions then it’s likely to be a scam:
    1 – Does it sound to good to be true?
    2 – Do they want money up front?
    3 – Do they require your bank account details?
    4 – Are they in a foreign country?
    Good luck people and be safe.

    Dodge

  36. jnhyder says:

    Yvonna chegey, I have forwarded the said emails but cannot see any response from your end.Regards.jnh

  37. @ Jawad: Sorry, we did not receive any new email from you. Please use our email form on the website, and use a valid sender address, thank you so much.

    @ Dodge: Yes, you are right with the first points. The number of different fraudulent schemes goes far beyond the number of 100 types, and especially Westafricans invent daily new ones if they smell the chance of ripping off anybody. In general there are two types of scam attempts:
    1. Those that aim the gullible and greedy people with the invitation to join some criminal proceedings, like securing the inheritance of another thief, the transfer of fraudulent money, or the offer of a huge win in any not existing lottery.
    2. Those real looking approaches, like Charity Scams, Romancescams, or fraudulent loan offers.
    Nowadays it is very common that scammers ask for your private details, in all types of scams. Revealing to them your bank account details may mean that your bank account gets emptied by some of their groups that are specialized on hacking into your account. There were already being seen spam emails, containing lists with the details of hacked bank accounts.
    Yes Dodge, playing around with a scammer until he gives up is always fun, and you steal their precious time. But always play safe.
    I guess you don’t want to express with your point 4 that all people from a foreign country are scammers. Criminal scammers can be found in all countries. The most of them, after Westafrica and Russia, are active in the USA, in the Netherlands, and in the UK. Also Spain and Brazil are well known places. So, the best we can do in order to be safe: Have your common sense, and NEVER send money to people you only know online. The same importance has to publish their email addresses for other people to find them with using the search engines, or faster: searching them on http://www.scamalert4u.com/serv_in.php
    Have a good and safe time,
    Yvonna
