The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams. The scammers abuse the media publicity around the alleged ponzi scheme run by disgraced financier Bernie Madoff to trick people into sending money to them which they will never get back.
There is no reason to believe that any members of Mr Madoff's family or the real Unicaja bank have any connection to the scam below, which operates like a typical 419 scam out of Nigeria. The domain used for the email address of the "bank" was set up by the scammers recently. It has no connection to the real bank in Spain.
If you have any suspect email that you want to report or have checked, you can copy and paste the message text into our "Scam-O-Matic" webform for an instant reply.
If you get suspect emails, you can also forward them to our scam-reporting e-mail address
Though you won't normally get a reply we do use your reports to shut down scammers and to warn others.

Dear Firstname Lastname,
Got your email and I am elated at your promptness. Before we proceed please do confirm to me how secure your computer is as I am writing you from an encrypted mailing system so as to guarantee that there are no leaks from my end. You do not need to invest heavily on encryption too but only have to assure and guarantee me that your computer/Email account is devoid of external interference due to the secure and secretive nature of our transaction/communication.
My family’s business portfolio cuts across all the continents of the world. You are a lucky man to have chosen to assist us in this times. It is my intention that as soon as we can re-profile the $45,000,000,00 Usd in your name preferably an "Alias" which automatically removes all traces of my family involvement with the funds I will proceed to bring you in to other transactions. With the aid of our lawyers and subsidiary companies you would mask the funds as your oil profits from one of our oil rigs in the Persian gulf, Note that you will be championing 80% of this deal as I cannot be too involved so as not to arouse attention from the authorities, however I will provide you with all the necessary contact details and information we need to have a flawless transaction. Bear in mind that you will have to set up an offshore account in your name or an alias to receive the funds! From where you will make careful transfers in little bits to your home/local account.
Before I proceed to give you the blue print on how you will be moving the funds I need to be assured of your commitment and safety of your computer. And also a brief description of yourself will put me more at ease. Relevant identification will be most helpful. Looking forward to prompt response as I look forward to us wrapping up this deal with your diligence in the forth coming week. God bless you.
Regards
Mark Madoff

Hello Firstname Lastname,
I appreciate your prompt response and assurance that you are secure. You have to understand that due to the nature of things now its not all proceeding we have to make public.All those things was said so as to get the feds off our back because this is the only funds in my families possession right now and we cannot stand a chance to forfit it to the US government i hope you understand what i mean?
At this time I have alerted one our serving attorneys that will be responsible for the profiling of the funds in your name in the ledger of our subsidiary company in the Gulf, so as to appropriately mask any relationship my family has with the funds. At this point you have to realize that we are putting a 100% trust on you that you will remit our own share of the funds on our request, Because after the profiling process you automatically become the owner of the $45,000,000,00 Usd.
For clarity read carefully so you will understand the method we will adopt complete the profiling process. Firstly our attorney will include your details tonight in the payment/profit turnover sheet of investors on our oil block on the Persian Gulf. The $45,000,000,00 Usd at this time is sitting as unpaid profit to investors, hence the $45,000,000,00 Usd will be calculated in all relevant company accounting books as profit turnover of four (4) years of investing your funds. You honestly do not have any cause for worries as we have everything properly mapped out to protect us(me and my family) and you from any problems or issues with the law.
On your own part you will have to set up an offshore account with "UNICAJA BANK PLC" as is mandatory for all investors in the "Gulf" and a profit pay out application form will be submitted by our attorney on your behalf to our holding bank that will automatically instruct our bankers to credit your account at "UNICAJA BANK PLC".
UNICAJA BANK PLC has online banking access which is very important to the success of this transaction, because on completion of the transfer to the new account you will in turn make transfers of below $5,000,000,00 Usd to your local account. Client’s secrecy is guaranteed with the UNICAJA BANK PLC due to the volume of business they handle hence you can make the transfers without trace to your local accounts.
I will want you to immediately contact UNICAJA BANK PLC with the details below requesting them to furnish you details on how to set up an account that can accommodate $45,000,000,00 Usd.
