There isn't much information about this "Kenneth Danquah," not so much as a Wikipedia article, but he does appear to be a real person who is the president or leader of something in Ghana called the CUA. About half the links about him on Google are spam and scam links, so this one's been going around for at least a little while. This is the first I've seen of it. This scammer claims to be Mr. Danquah, and he wants you to help him secure some funds abroad for safekeeping. He refers to "mouth watering deals" LOL, but to a real policitian, particularly an American one, $20 million is just spit in a bucket. Oh, and the scammer makes a pretty pathetic attempt to "comply" with the 2003 CAN-Spam Act by providing PETA's unsubscribe link.

Wow, we'd say a scammer was actually attempting to get creative for once. A search for a "Karen Mangi" doesn't turn up a lot of results, but it appears that she really is a twenty-something year old student in South Africa. Her name appears on a couple other websites that warn about scams. This scammer is pretending to be her, for some reason, rather than some government official, and "she" wants to invest $9 million in "your country," because "she" had no idea where you live. Something about the Republican Party of Pennsylvania was brought into this, which becomes clear by the end of the scam-mail. If you can manage to contact her, or if you contact the Republicans in Harrisburg about this, they will have no idea what the heck you're talking about. And yet at the bottom of the scam-mail, it says "Paid for by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania." This is just flat illegal on so many levels, we don't even know where to begin LOL.

Here's another proposal scam in which the "manager" of a bank in Ghana has supposedly made a few million in profit, but he hasn't filed any report, so the "head office" will never know about it. Well that makes sense, because the money doesn't exist anyway. The spam says right up front that it was mailed out by AT&T, and he wants you to respond to another free e-mail address as well, neither of which have anything to do with any bank. This Peter Mensah very likely is the manager of this bank, but if you contact him, he will not know anything of what you're talking about. His identity was simply stolen for this scam.

The word "trust" in these things makes me want to laugh until I'm blue. The death of Nina Wang Kung four years ago is not widely known in the western world, which is why this scam has been making the rounds in North America, Western Europe, and Australia. Prior to her death, she was among the wealthiest Asians in the world. Tony Chan Chun-chuen was apparently a friend of hers, and this scammer is claiming to be him. He wants to be careful, though, and not claim that he's trying to share Ms Wang's entire fortune with you, he only claims to want to share a paltry $12 million. He proposes to transfer the fund to your bank account, and expects you to share your banking details with him. If you do so, you would shortly hear a large vacuuming sound coming from it. There is no money, and there never is. He only wants to steal from you. This entry is located in the upper righthand corner at this link, and please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You!
