29th January 2022 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 29th January 2022, telephone number +27785983963 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Wilson Themba using email address wilsonthambassociates@outlook.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

It is with trust and sincerity that I approach you for assistance to
transfer some funds into your bank account. Please do accept my
apology if my mail infringes on your personal ethics. My name is
Barrister Wilson Themba, Private Lawyer based here in Johannesburg
South Africa. Honestly it will be my humble pleasure if we can work
together.

I would like you to act as the next of kin to my deceased client
Mr.Kurtz Petersen, a German citizen who made a deposit of
US$35.7Million only with a Bank here in Johannesburg a few years back.
He died in a plane crash with his immediate family without any
registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open
beneficiary mandate with the Bank. This means that any person from
your country can act as the next of kin and claim the inheritance
funds without any risk.

I have received an official letter from the bank suggesting a likely
proceeding for confiscation of the Fund in line with existing laws by
the bank in which my client deposited the sum of US$35.7 Million
Dollars. According to the Government Law as provided in section 129
sub 63(N), South African Banking Edit of 1961 at the expiration of 11
years the fund will revert to the ownership of the South African
Government, if nobody applies to claim the fund.

My proposition to you is to present you to the bank as the Next of kin
and beneficiary of my deceased client so that the bank will pay this
US$35.7 million to you for us to share the amount on a mutually agreed
percentage of 60% for me 40% for you.

All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin
will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us to see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law.

If you are interested in these transactions, Please do let me know
immediately so that I can give you comprehensive details on how to
proceed. On my private email: wilsonthambassociates@outlook.com

Regards,

Barrister Wilson Themba

21st January 2022 - Lottery Scam

On 21st January 2022, telephone number +27785983963 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Wilson Themba using email address consulofficer1@yandex.com as part of a Lottery Scam.

A Lottery Scam is a variation of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam. Instead of the victim being offered an inheritance or some other funds by a stranger, they will be told that their email has won an online lottery and to collect their prize they just have to email someone to claim it. Of course, there will be fees that need to be paid, and the prize (usually cash, but sometimes luxury cars as well) doesn't actually exist. These scams often pretend that the lottery is being sposored by a multi-national corportation sch as Ford, BMW, Microsoft or Facebook; although sometimes they claim to actually be a real lottery such as the UK National Lottery. There is no such thing as a lottery that picks random email addresses to win - if you haven't purchased a ticket for a specific lottery then you can't win it.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
